Scene 11 of 189 · ≈ 1 min on screen · Act one
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.
Mark decides against the farm-animal gag but keeps the head-to-head comparison, liking its Turing-test feel.
A bouncer waves a fresh crowd of girls into an exclusive final club as Mark, narrating, plans to scrape photos from every house's facebook.
Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes watch as Mark cracks Kirkland's open Apache config and starts downloading the house's photos.
This scene
THREE COEDS are talking to the BOUNCER. The BOUNCER looks up at TWO HANDSOME CLUB MEMBERS. The MEMBERS give him the nod and the FIVE COEDS are let past the velvet rope.
They’re led up a half flight of red-carpeted stairs to a party that’s about a half-hour away from being in full swing.
The CLUB PRESIDENT is addressing the GUESTS from the top of the stairs--
CLUB PRESIDENT
Excuse me everybody, you are at one of
the oldest, one of the most exclusive
clubs--not just at Harvard but in the
world--and I want to welcome you all to
Phoenix Club’s first party of the fall
semester.
