Cold open
INT. GARAGE - PALO ALTO - NIGHT, 1976 A single bulb swings over a workbench littered with circuit boards. STEVE JOBS, 21, wild hair and intense eyes, solders furiously. BILL GATES, 20, nervous energy in a rumpled shirt, hovers. JOBS This is it, man. The machine that talks back. One box in every home. GATES We code it together, right? No secrets. Jobs grins, holds up a prototype chip like a sacrament. JOBS Secrets are the product. You build the brain. I'll sell the soul. They shake. The bulb flickers. A spark jumps. Both stare at the tiny screen blinking to life. GATES (quiet) We're gonna own the future. JOBS Or die trying.
