Scene 5 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 storms out of the bar alone into Harvard Square.
Mark strides through campus past happy, well-adjusted students on his way back to his dorm.
Mark bursts into Kirkland House and heads upstairs without acknowledging anyone.
This scene
A bedroom that’s part of a three-bedroom suite. The MUSIC CONTINUES as MARK walks in, flicks his lap-top on without looking at it and walks out of frame as we follow MARK to his mini-frigde where he pulls out a Beck’s beer.
MARK’s fingers dance easily on the keyboard--like a Juilliard pianist warming up. The website he’s just called up gets loaded onto the screen.

This is the only place he’s comfortable.
TITLE:
8:13 PM
He begins blogging.
MARK (V.O.)
Erica Albright’s a bitch. Do you think
that’s because her family changed their
name from Albrecht or do you think it’s
because all B.U. girls are bitches?
He takes a good gulp of his drink. We see the words we’re hearing filling up his computer screen--
MARK (V.O.) (CONT’D)
For the record, she may look like a 34C
but she’s getting all kinds of help from
our friends at Victoria’s Secret. She’s a
34B, as in barely anything there. False
advertising.
