Scene 100 of 189 · ≈ 1 min on screen · Act two
Mark Zuckerberg wants status and belonging Harvard's final clubs won't give him, so he builds a website that gives the world both — and loses his best friend and co-founder to the company he built to prove he mattered.
Mark at the campus bar: brilliant, status-obsessed, unable to read the room he's sitting in.
He wants to matter — to be let into the final clubs, to be exceptional enough that Erica's verdict is wrong — and Facemash is the first proof-of-concept.
He takes the Winklevoss pitch as a springboard, builds theFacebook in its place, and launches it into a world he can't control.
Gage presses Mark in deposition about whether he knew the Winklevosses came from money, building toward the accusation that Mark went to Eduardo for funding instead of them.
Gretchen corrects Sy for calling Eduardo and Mark best friends, since Eduardo is now suing Mark for $600 million.
Divya testifies that theFacebook became a campus-wide phenomenon within two weeks, with 'Facebook me' entering the vocabulary.

The lamps in Harvard Yard light the snow falling.
SPEAKER (VO)
The light bulb event--the inciting action--
was when he was at Out of Town News and
picked up a copy of Popular Electronics
that had the MITS Altair Kit on the cover.
