Mark :

They had my blog -- I shouldn't have written 

that thing about the farm animals.

That was stupid.

But I was kidding, for God's sakes;

Doesn't anybody have a Sense of Humour?

I tried to stop you.

Mark :

I know.

How do you do this thing where you 

manage to get all girls to hate us?

And why do I let you? 

Mark :

I know.

You can't do that. 

Mark :

Wardo, I said I know.

Computer Science Professor :

Okay, let's look at A Sample Problem :

Suppose we're given a computer 

with a 16-bit virtual address

and a page size of 256 bytes.

The system uses one-level page tables 

that start at address hex 400.

Maybe you want DMA on your 

16-bit system. Who knows?

The first few pages are reserved for hardware flags, etc.

Assume page-table entries have eight status bits.

The eight status bits would then be... Anybody?

[ Mark gets up and walks out ]

And I see we have our first surrender.

Don't worry, Mr Zuckerberg.

Brighter men than you have 

tried and failed this class.

Mark : (turning casually back)

One valid bit, one modified bit, 

one reference bit and 

five permission bits.

......That is correct.

Does everybody see 

how he got there?

Mark?

You Mark Zuckerberg?

Mark :

Yeah.

Cameron Winklevoss.

Mark :

Hi.

Tyler Winklevoss.

Mark :

Are you guys related?

That's good.

Funny.

We never heard that before.

Mark :

So, what can I do for you? 

Did I insult your girlfriends?

No. You didn't. Actually, 

I don't know.

Yeah, we never asked. 

We should do that.

No.

We have an idea we want to talk to you about.

You got a minute?

Mark :

You guys look like you spend 

some time at the gym.

We have to.

Why?

We row crew.

Mark :

Yeah, I've got a minute.

Great.

So, you ever been inside 

The Porcellian?

Mark :

No.

You understand We can't Take You 

past The Bike Room, because 

You're not A Member.

Mark :

I've heard.

You want a sandwich 

or something?

Mark :

Okay.

(one of The Winklevii tosses him one of the free sandwiches provided by The Porcellian's caterers for guests.)

Mark, right?

Mark :

Yeah.

Mark, this is Divya Narendra, our partner. 

Hi.

Divya Narendra, of The 

House of Winklevoss :

We were really impressed with Facemash.

When we checked you out, 

you also built CourseMatch.

I don't know CourseMatch.

The House of Winklevoss :

You go online and see what courses 

your friends are taking.

It's really smart, man.

Mark. 

Mark :

(barely paying attention 

to The Ego-Jerk) Yeah.

The House of Winklevoss :

We were talking about CourseMatch.

Mark :

It was kind of a no-brainer.

The House of Winklevoss :

But you invented something 

in high school, too, right?

Mark :

An app for an MP3 player that 

recognises your taste in music.

The House of Winklevoss :

Anybody try to buy it?

Mark :

Microsoft.

The House of Winklevoss :

Wow. How much?

Mark :

Didn't sell it. 

Uploaded it for free.

The House of Winklevoss :

For free?

Mark :

Yeah.

The House of Winklevoss :

Why?

The House of Winklevoss :

Okay, well, we have something that 

we've been working on for a while

and we think it's great.

It's called 'The Harvard Connection'.

You create your own page. 

Interests, bio, friends, pics.

And then people can go online, 

see your bio, request to be your...

Mark :

Yeah, how is that different from 

MySpace or Friendster?

The House of Winklevoss :

Harvard.edu...

I mean, the whole site's kind of 

based on The Idea that girls...

Not to put anything indelicately, but...

Girls wanna Go with 

Guys who Go to Harvard.

Divya and my brother don't have 

trouble putting things indelicately.

The main difference between 

what we're talking about and 

MySpace or Friendster, or any of 

those other social networking sites is...

Mark :

Is exclusivity. Right?

The House of Winklevoss :

Right. Yeah.

The House of Winklevoss :

We'd love for you to Work with Us, Mark.

I mean, We need a gifted programmer who's creative.

And we know that you've been taking it in the shins.

Women's groups are ready to declare a fatwa.

But, you know, this could help 

rehabilitate your image.

Mark :

Wow. You would do that for Me?

The Winklevii :

We'd like to Work with You.

Our first programmer graduated 

and went to work for Google.

Our second programmer just got 

oven verned with SchoolWork.

We would need You to 

build The Site and 

write The Code, and 

We'll provide all the...

Mark :

I'm in.

The Winklevii :

What?

Mark :

I'm in.

The Winklevii :

Awesome.

four years and $6Billion Dollars later --

Lawyer :

That's what you said?

Mark :

It was three or four years ago. 

I don't know what I said.

Lawyer :

When did you come to Eduardo?
