A Connection Is Made

Halt and Catch Fire 4×6

Joe: «Catch the Comet.»
Cameron: Oh. No. .... Because it sounds like the flu. Or the clap.

Joe: «Let’s Comet»?
Cameron: How ’bout, let’s not.

Joe: «Search it, find it... com-it.»
Cameron: It’s perfect.

Cameron: El Gordo!.. You know what it means, right?
Gordon: Yeah. «Handsome.»

Gordon: Haley drew it. Sailors get one tattooed for every 5,000 miles. But you know what she said? Since the rocket’s 1/100th in scale, it only needs to cover fifty.

Gordon: Come on, I know you. You dream in code.

Donna: Don’t ever stop yourself ’cause you’re scared...

Cameron: Oh, yeah, kids are great... if you can give birth to a fourteen-year-old.

Haley: Um, school was not good. I mean, no one was torturing me or anything like that, but it’s just, like, everyone’s always pretending, you know? That’s why the Web’s so great, ’cause no one pretends. You just put it out there, who you really are. And if people respond to it, that’s great. But if not, who cares? At least they saw you and not just some projection, you know?

Donna: With Rover we cannot only count the number of users, we can track what they click on, how long they look at it... I mean, it’s an advertiser’s dream.
Bobby Aron: So, it is about selling.
Donna: No, it’s... It’s about change. At Rover, you could be part of a universal, decentralized platform that’s already changing the world.

Donna: Look. You could join Microsoft and let them tell you what the future will be. Or you could join us and tell them.

Donna: The truth is, I am trying to build another version of Community. Except, this time, it’s the entire Internet. It’s everyone.

Risa: I’m sure they still don’t even come close to what you saw in your head.
Cameron: Well, the computer for that doesn’t exist yet.
Risa: You sure? Processor speed is growing at an exponential rate. I’ve seen what’s happening, and it’s mind-blowing. ’Cause here’s the thing: I don’t think you’re a game designer.
Cameron: Oh.
Risa: I think you’re a world builder.
