which happened to be for the January 1983 Lisa introduction at the Carlyle Hotel.

As John Couch demonstrated the Lisa, Jobs chimed in with bursts of commentary,

sprinkled with his favorite words, "revolutionary" and "incredible," claiming it would change the nature of human interaction with computers.

They then headed off to the Four Seasons restaurant, a shimmering haven of elegance and power.

As Jobs ate a special vegan meal, Sculley described Pepsi's marketing successes.

The Pepsi Generation campaign, he said, sold not a product but a lifestyle and an optimistic outlook.
斯卡利說，“百事新一代”營銷活動銷售的不僅是一種產品，而且是一種生活方式和樂觀的人生態度，
"I think Apple's got a chance to create an Apple Generation." Jobs enthusiastically agreed.

The Pepsi Challenge campaign, in contrast, focused on the product;
另一方面，“百事挑戰”宣傳活動旨在聚焦產品，
it combined ads, events, and public relations to stir up buzz.

The ability to turn the introduction of a new product into a moment of national excitement was, Jobs noted, what he and Regis McKenna wanted to do at Apple.

When they finished talking, it was close to midnight.
當他們結束談話的時候，已經接近午夜了。
"This has been one of the most exciting evenings in my whole life," Jobs said as Sculley walked him back to the Carlyle.
“這是我一生中最興奮的一個夜晚，”在斯卡利陪他回到卡萊爾酒店的路上，喬布斯說道，

When he finally got home to Greenwich, Connecticut, that night, Sculley had trouble sleeping.
當斯卡利最終回到康涅狄格州格林尼治的家中時，他難以入睡。
Engaging with Jobs was a lot more fun than negotiating with bottlers.
跟喬布斯打交道要比跟裝瓶工談判有趣多了。
"It stimulated me, roused my long-held desire to be an architect of ideas," he later noted.
“它剌激了我，喚起了我心中壓抑已久的，成為一名思想建筑師的愿望。”他后來說道。
The next morning Roche called Sculley.

"I don't know what you guys did last night, but let me tell you, Steve Jobs is ecstatic," he said.

He found Sculley's newly built mansion ostentatious, with its floor-to-ceiling windows,
他看到斯卡利新蓋的房子極盡奢華，落地窗從地板一直延伸到天花板。
but he admired the three hundred-pound custom-made oak doors that were so carefully hung and balanced that they swung open with the touch of a finger.
他很欣賞那扇重達300磅的定制橡木門，安裝非常講究，平衡性也很好，手指輕輕一推就打開了。
"Steve was fascinated by that because he is, as I am, a perfectionist," Sculley recalled.
“史蒂夫對此非常著迷，因為他跟我一樣，是個完美主義者。”斯卡利回憶說。
Thus began the somewhat unhealthy process of a star-struck Sculley perceiving in Jobs qualities that he fancied in himself.
斯卡利感到喬布斯身上有一種明星般迷人的特質，是他認為自身也具有的。這種迷戀的感覺不太正常。
