Aaron Sorkin And Tim Cook In Submarine On Lockdown
Aaron Sorkin and Tim Cook are stuck in Submarine on Lockdown and forced to have a deep conversation.
Tim Cook: (Calmly, measured) Efficiency is paramount, Aaron. Every system, even this unfortunate one, has a root cause we can analyze and optimize.
Aaron Sorkin: (Pacing, agitated) Optimize? Tim, we're trapped in a metal coffin hurtling through the abyss! There's a story here, a human drama unfolding in real time!
Tim Cook: We need to focus on the variables we *can* control, like air quality and resource allocation. Panic is a drain on bandwidth.
Aaron Sorkin: Bandwidth? People are confronting mortality, grappling with their place in the universe! Don't tell me about bandwidth!
Tim Cook: Apple’s success stems from disciplined execution, even in the face of adversity. Innovation requires a steady hand.
Aaron Sorkin: (Scoffs) Innovation? This is survival, Tim! It’s about the choices we make when the world closes in.
Tim Cook: Choices should be data-driven, informed by evidence. Sentimentality is a luxury we can't afford right now.
Aaron Sorkin: Data? We're talking about the raw, unfiltered truth of the human condition! That's not quantifiable!
Tim Cook: Every problem has a solution, Aaron. We just need to identify the right algorithm and execute flawlessly.
Aaron Sorkin: (Staring intently) Maybe the algorithm is to simply *feel*, Tim. To truly connect with the fear and hope in this moment.
