Scene 119 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.
Tyler breaks the 335-year-old doorknob storming out of Summers' office.
In deposition, Eduardo recalls a spring-break trip to New York to pitch advertisers, which went terribly because Mark fell asleep in the meetings.
Eduardo pitches an ad executive on theFacebook's stats while a checked-out Mark makes a strange noise that tanks the meeting.

There was one more meeting scheduled for

Yes. It was a dinner. It was set up
through my girlfriend at the time.

Would you say that Mark was excited about
this meeting?

Yes, very.
