Jobs denies he is the father of Brennan’s five-year-old daughter, Lisa. Brennan arrives with Lisa to confront him, she is bitter over his denials. Jobs bonds with Lisa over her MacPaint art and agrees to provide more money and a house. Apple CEO John Sculley demands to know why the world believes he fired Jobs – Jobs was actually forced out by the Apple board. Jobs designed the iMac to entice Apple to buy NeXT and reinstate him as CEO after John Sculley’s firing.
Jobs’ need for control stems from his feelings of powerlessness in being given up, he tells Hoffman. Jobs apologizes to Lisa for his mistakes and accepts that he is her father, admitting he is “poorly made”. He also promises Lisa on seeing her Walkman that he’s going to put more music in her pocket.
