Scene 107 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 reads from the cease-and-desist letter documenting doubts Mark allegedly raised about HarvardConnection's readiness.
Eduardo continues reading the letter's account of unresolved site issues.
Gage grills Mark over the timing of his concerns about HarvardConnection, and Mark deflects with a non-answer about the weather before delivering a cold speech about where his real attention lies.
