Transcript of Tim Cook’s surprise Mad Money call

Serenity Caldwell pulls another rabbit out of her hat, listening and typing, sometimes typing and listening. All for our benefit.

A great call. Tim drawling, Cramer gushing. A love-fest, true, but extremely entertaining. My favorite bit:

Cramer: And I regard your company with the highest ideals and the greatest manufacturing. I know every day when you come to work I feel you must think that you have a stewardship you’ve got to fulfill because of Steve Jobs. I want you to know that we — that you have far exceeded what ever — anyone, I think, could have done, but you still walk in his footsteps. How do you feel about the legacy?

Cook: You know, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about Steve, and he is still the core part of Apple, his DNA is deep in the company. His office is still next to mine with his name on the door. And the values that he placed in here, and sort of the spirit — that we are here to make the very best products in the world that enrich people’s lives — that is still the centerpiece of this company.
