Scene 116 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.
In Palo Alto, Sean Parker charms a Stanford student, Amy, the morning after a hookup, then spots theFacebook open on her laptop and immediately fixates on finding Mark Zuckerberg.
Cameron and Tyler wait in Larry Summers' outer office, sized up by his unimpressed secretary.
Summers dismisses Cameron and Tyler's plea for university intervention against Mark, telling them this isn't a university matter and to go invent something else.
This scene
As CAMERON and TYLER exit, TYLER closes the door a little too hard and the brass doorknob comes off in his hand. He drops it on the SECRETARY’S desk as he exits--
TYLER
I broke your 335 year old doorknob.
