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 third stalling e-mail in which Mark postpones a meeting for being too busy.
Reading Mark's latest brush-off e-mail, Divya, Cameron and Tyler start to suspect something's off with him.
An envelope from Phoenix slides under Eduardo's door as he's on the phone.
This scene
Every available wall space is covered with a diagram or a printout. EDUARDO comes in with the envelope.
EDUARDO
Mark--
MARK
I need a dedicated Linux box running
Apache with a mySQL backend. It’s gonna
cost a little more money.
EDUARDO
How much more?
MARK
Two-hundred more.
EDUARDO
Do we need it?
MARK
Gotta handle the traffic.
EDUARDO
Do it.
MARK
I already did.
EDUARDO
Hey, guess what?
(shows MARK the envelope)
I made the second cut.
MARK
Good job. You should be proud of that
right there, don’t worry if you don’t
make it any further.
EDUARDO
I’ll get outa here.
