Make Better Wings


"I don't know if anyone, 
including Stanley, could've told you 
WHY he wanted to make a film 
about The Holocaust...."

A. : It's The PAPERWORK.


"Stanley didn't change very much --

Stanley Kubrick - Griffith Award acceptance speech

“I’ve never been certain whether 
The Moral of The Icarus Story 
should only be, as is generally accepted, 
‘Don’t Try to Fly Too High’ 
or whether it might also be thought of as 
‘Forget The Wax and Feathers, 
and Do a Better Job on The Wings.”

Regretful Girlish




STEVE JOBS :
Lisa!

Our Lady :

You can't shout!

STEVE JOBS :
Lisa?

You have to go.

It's dangerous up here. That's why I make other people do it.

Who are you hiding from, me or your mom?

 
LISA :
I'm not hiding.

STEVE JOBS :
Let's go.

What were you listening to?

 

LISA :
I'm listening to Two Versions of The Same Song.

Then when I get to the ends, I rewind to listen to them again.

It's the same song, but the versions are different.
 

STEVE JOBS :
What's The Song?
 
LISA :
Okay. So it's a really old song, and it's called 
"Both Sides, Now."
 

STEVE JOBS :
"Both Sides, Now"?
 

LISA :
Yeah.
 
STEVE JOBS :
What's it about?

LISA :
It's about... There are Three Verses: Clouds, Love and Life.
And The Person Singing, is singing that they used to think of...
That they used to think about...
 
STEVE JOBS :
Clouds, Love and Life?
 

LISA :
Right.
One way, yeah, but now they look at them Another Way, and they... 

STEVE JOBS :
They've come to the conclusion that 
They really don't know Clouds, Love or Life at all.

LISA :
Those are The Exact Words.

STEVE JOBS :
Yeah, Joni Mitchell.
'Cause it's not A Really Old Song, unless I'm a Really Old Guy.
You have to go to school now.

 
LISA :
Do you want me to tell you the differences between The Two Versions?

STEVE JOBS :
Right now.


LISA :
The First Version is The Kind of Thing that you would call 'girlish'.

STEVE JOBS :
I didn't mean I want to know the difference right now.
I meant you have to go to school right now.

LISA :
I can Stay and Watch.

STEVE JOBS :
You are Truant. You're committing a Crime.


LISA :
I'm not gonna miss Anything Important.
 

STEVE JOBS :
How do you know?

LISA :
I read ahead.

The Pilgrims make it to The New World.
Then The Declaration of Independence.


STEVE JOBS :
Yeah, you skipped a couple centuries.

Steve? Chrisann's out there.


STEVE JOBS :
Let's Go.


LISA :
Can I make My Case for staying?


STEVE JOBS :
Nope.

She was with me.
 

Come on. 
Your Dad Doesn't Want Us to Stay.


STEVE JOBS :
That's Not True. That's not...
You have to be in school is all.


LISA :
I'm committing a Crime right now,
and I don't wanna get in trouble.


STEVE JOBS :
You're not in Trouble. 
I was kidding.


LISA :
Okay.


STEVE JOBS :
Hey. What was The Second Version?
You said The First Version was girlish. 
What was The second version?

LISA :
I can't really think of the word.


STEVE JOBS :
Okay. Well, have a good day at school.
 
LISA :
Regretful.
 
STEVE JOBS :
What?

LISA :
Like wishing you could go back and do things different.


STEVE JOBS :
You're too young to be regretful.


LISA :
Not me.
The person singing the song.


STEVE JOBS :
Got it. Regretful. That makes sense because...

LISA :
I wanna live with you. 




“ You know, my mother might be a troubled woman, but what's your excuse?
That's why I'm not impressed with your story, Dad.

It's that you knew what I was going through, and you didn't do anything about it.

And that makes you an
•unconscionable• coward. “


Steve Jobs: 
I'm gonna put music in your pocket. 

Lisa Brennan: 
What? 

Steve Jobs: 
A hundred songs. 
A thousand songs. 
Five hundred songs. 
Somewhere between five hundred and a thousand songs. 
Right in your pocket. 

Because I can't stand looking at that ridiculous Walkman anymore. You're carrying around a brick, playing a cassette tape. 

We're Not Savages. 

I'm gonna put a thousand songs in your pocket. 

Lisa Brennan: 
You can do that? 

Steve Jobs: 
We're very close. 
All I have to do really is wipe out the record business as we know it and we'll be all set.
