Scene 87 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 the snow, Eduardo endures a Phoenix hazing ritual answering trivia about the John Harvard statue while shivering pledges strip down around him.
Gage notes that 39 days after his first meeting with the twins, Mark still hadn't delivered on HarvardConnection.
Mark registers the domain name theFacebook.com.

GAGE

even begun work on HarvardConnection?
EDUARDO
Not to my knowledge, no.
