One Way or Another

Halt and Catch Fire 3×2

& Donna: This is the world’s first virtual handshake deal.
    Cameron: A trade.
    Donna: A trade made on your computer that swaps tangible items between users. You get everything you want without ever leaving your home. You do everything from your keyboard.
    Cameron: The only person you’ll ever see is the mailman.
    Donna: We’re looking for the right partner.

& Donna: 14 VC firms and nobody’s stepped up, why?
    Bosworth: Well, these clowns want to make you wait. They think it gives them some kind of an allure. But it just takes one of them to ask you to the dance.
    Cameron: God, I love how even the metaphors in this business are sexist.

& Bosworth: Look, the fact that you two are women I’m sure doesn’t help matters.

& Bosworth: These smiling VCs out here love to grin and screw you, don’t they? At least in Texas they stab you in the front.

& Gordon: No, you can do that without the GOTO statements. And it’s always better without spaghetti branching. Structured programing. Böhm-Jacopini style.

& Yo-Yo: Walking the floor, not really working, wearing a tie. You looking to become management?

& Tim: Wow, okay, my apologies if he misread things.
    Donna: What could he have possibly misread?
    Cameron: We have been nothing but professional.
    Tim: Are you kidding? You guys call every day for two weeks. You drop everything the night he calls you to dinner. And I’m sorry, but... nobody wears that shade of lipstick unless they have come to play.

& Ryan: Okay, this is gonna sound weird and I feel ridiculous even saying this, but I know that something’s coming. Something big. Like a train and all I want is to jump on board. But it’s getting faster and faster and I’m terrified that I’m gonna miss it.

& Donna: Imagine a place you could go where whatever your passion, whatever you collect or love, it’s available to you at the push of a button...
    Cameron: A rare Spider-Man comic, a bootleg Dylan concert, first edition Fitzgerald, even a hard-to-find part for your Apple II... It’s all there.

& Joe: ... 60%... 70%... Come be my partner and 70% of the company is yours.

& Gordon: No one designs in a vacuum. What’s the point in reinventing the wheel if your true innovation is creating the tire?
