Scene 54 of 189 · ≈ 1 min on screen
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.
Cameron, Tyler, and Divya recruit Mark to build HarvardConnection — the idea that becomes Facebook arrives from outside him.
In deposition, Gage presses Mark on what he told the twins, and Mark claims he doesn't remember what he said years earlier.
Gretchen asks Eduardo when Mark first came to him with the Facebook idea, and Eduardo says he doesn't understand the question.
Gage asks Mark whether he remembers answering the Winklevosses in the affirmative.
