Scene 76 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.
Gage reads a second e-mail in which Mark claims he missed the twins' calls because he was doing coursework.
Eduardo, in a tuxedo, drinks through a Phoenix hazing ritual alongside other pledges.
In Art History, while the class studies a painting, Mark is secretly writing code on his laptop.

From Mark Zuckerberg to Cameron and Tyler
Winklevoss. December 10, 2003. “This week
has been pretty busy thus far with
classes and work so I think it’s probably
best to postpone the meeting.”
