The Social Network · written by Aaron Sorkin · 2010
Scene 17 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 notes Lowell's password protection is toothless against Harvard's own network.
Amid the club's body shots and dancing, Mark's voiceover races through hacking Adams, Quincy, Dunster and Leverett's house facebooks one by one.
Eduardo Saverin rushes upstairs to Mark's room as Mark declares his scraping done.

EDUARDO
What’s going on?
MARK (V.O.)
Perfect timing. Eduardo’s here and he’s
going to have the key ingredient.
EDUARDO
Mark.
MARK
Wardo.
EDUARDO
You and Erica split up?
MARK
How did you know that?
EDUARDO
It’s on your blog.
MARK
Yeah.
EDUARDO
Are you alright?
MARK
I need you.
EDUARDO
I’m here for you.
MARK
No, I need the algorithm you use to rank
chess players.
EDUARDO
Are you okay?
MARK
We’re ranking girls.
EDUARDO
You mean other students?
MARK
Yeah.
EDUARDO
You think this is such a good idea?
MARK
I need the algorithm.
EDUARDO
Mark--
MARK
I need the algorithm.
