The story so farBefore scene 162

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.

Scene 1
Mark at the campus bar: brilliant, status-obsessed, unable to read the room he's sitting in.
Scenes 1–49
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.
Scenes 50–92
He takes the Winklevoss pitch as a springboard, builds theFacebook in its place, and launches it into a world he can't control.
Scenes 93–156
Expansion to Yale, Columbia, Stanford; the move to Palo Alto; the costs mount — Eduardo sidelined, the twins circling, the company outgrowing its dorm-room shape.
Just before

162INT. PALO ALTO HOUSE - NIGHT

SEAN

(into phone)

I saw him getting into his turbo Carerra

and he saw me too, I know he did.

(beat)

Don’t sweat it, I’m on a land line.

SEAN leans over one of the girls, casually hits a few keys and easily kills several of the other girl’s soldiers.

GIRL #1

Yes!

GIRL #2

Hey!

GIRL #1

Bong hit!

She has to take one as a penalty.

DUSTIN

Does, anybody hear that banging?

SEAN

(to DUSTIN)

You don’t hear anything, you’re writing

code.

DUSTIN

Dude, somebody’s at the door.

SEAN goes back to the phone conversation as he heads to the door--

SEAN

(into phone)

It’s not a dish best served cold. It’s

best served immediately and relentlessly.

SEAN opens the door and the soaking wet EDUARDO is standing there...

SEAN (CONT’D)

(into phone)

I’m gonna call you back.

(to EDUARDO)

What’s up?

EDUARDO

(long pause)

What’s up?

(beat)

Mark was supposed to pick me up at the

airport an hour ago, I’ve been calling

his cell.

SEAN

He was on a 36 hour coding tear so he

took a nap for a couple of hours.

EDUARDO walks into the house and surveys the wreckage--

EDUARDO

What happened here?

SEAN

Not happened--happening. The next big

thing.
