captain of the varsity lacrosse team, and
I wanted to take her from him.

Sean Parker :
I read your blog.
Mark :
You know, no, that was
for web cretins.
Sean Parker :
You know why I started Napster?
The girl I loved in high school
was with the co-captain of
the varsity lacrosse team, and
I wanted to take her from him.
So I decided to come up
with the next big thing.
Mark :
I didn't know that.
Sean Parker :
Napster wasn't a failure.
I changed the music industry
for better and for always.
It may not have been good business,
but it pissed a lot of people off.
And isn't that what your Facemash was about?
They're scared of me, pal, and
they're gonna be scared of you.
What the VCs want is to say, "Good idea, kid,
the grown-ups will take it from here."
But not this time.
This is our time.
This time, you're gonna hand
them a business card
that says, "I'm CEO, bitch."
That's what I want for you.
So where the hell is Eduardo?
Mark :
He's in New York.
Sean Parker :
Sucking up to ad execs.
Mark :
He's got an...
Sean Parker :
An internship. The Company's here.
A billion-dollar company's here.
Do you live and breathe Facebook?
Mark :
Yes.
Sean Parker :
I know you do. Wardo wants to be a businessman
and for all I know he's gonna be a good one,
but he shouldn't be in New York
kissing Madison Avenue's ass.
This is a once-in-a-generation, "holy shit" idea.
And The Water under The Golden Gate is freezing cold.
Look at my face and tell me I don't
know what I'm talking about.
Mark :
Do you ever think about that girl?
Sean Parker :
What girl…?
The girl from high school
with the lacrosse thing. No.
