Aaron Sorkin: “‘Hi. It’s Steve.’”

Wonder what a conversation between Steve Jobs and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin would have been like? Here you are courtesy of Sorkin in a first-person piece for the Daily Beast:

STEVE: Why not?

ME: I just — I don’t think I can make inanimate objects talk.

STEVE: Once you make them talk they won’t be inanimate.

ME: The truth is I don’t know how to tell those stories. I have a young kid who loves Pixar movies and she’ll turn cartwheels if I tell her I’m writing one and I don’t want to disappoint her by writing the only bad movie in the history of Pixar.
