Scene 19 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.
Eduardo Saverin rushes upstairs to Mark's room as Mark declares his scraping done.
Eduardo learns Mark and Erica split up from his blog and gets recruited on the spot to hand over his chess-ranking algorithm for rating female students.
Eduardo chalks out the Elo-style ranking equation on Mark's window while Mark presses him to formalize it into code.
