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.

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?

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. 

Club Scene | The Social Network

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.

Mark Gets Rid of His People

A Theory

You're not an asshole, Mark. You're just 

trying so hard to be.

On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications. 

Mark :

Did you know there are more people 

with genius I.Q.s living in China 

than there are people of any kind 

living in the United States?

The Girl :

That can't possibly be True.

Mark :

It is. 

The Girl :

What would account for that? 

Mark :

Well, first, an awful lot of people live 

in China, but here's my question :

How do you distinguish 

yourself in a population 

of people who all got 

1600 on their SATs?

The Girl :

I didn't know they 

take SATs in China. 

Mark :

They don't. I wasn't talking 

about China any more, I was 

Talking about Me.

The Girl :

Yes. 

Mark :

I could sing in an acappella 

group, but I can't sing. 

The Girl :

Does that mean you actually 

got nothing wrong? 

Mark :

I could row crew or 

invent a $25 PC. 

The Girl :

Or you could get 

into a final club. 

Mark :

Or I get into 

a finals club. 

The Girl :

You know, from 

A Woman's Perspective, 

sometimes not singing in an 

a Cappella group is 

a good thing. 

Mark :

This is serious. 

The Girl :

On the other hand, I do 

like guys who row crew. 

Mark :

Well, I can't do that. 

The Girl :

I was kidding. 

Mark :

And, yes, I got nothing 

wrong on The Test.

The Girl :

Have you ever tried?

Mark :

I'm trying right now. 

To row crew?

The Girl :

To get into a final club. 

Mark :

To row crew? No. Are you, 

like, whatever, delusional? 

The Girl :

Maybe it's just -- sometimes you say two things at once. 

I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to be aiming at. 

Mark :

But you've seen guys 

who row crew, right? 

The Girl :

No. 

Mark :

Okay, well, they're bigger than me. 

They're world-class athletes. 

And a second ago, you said you like 

guys who row crew so I assumed 

you had met one. 

The Girl :

I guess I just meant I like the idea of it. 

You know, the way a girl likes cowboys. 

Mark :

Okay - Should we get something to eat? 

Would you like to talk about something else? 

The Girl :

No. It's just since the beginning of the 

Conversation about finals club, I think 

I may have missed a birthday. There are really 

more people in China with genius IQs 

than the entire population... 

Mark :

The Phoenix is the most diverse. 

The Fly Club... Roosevelt 

punched the Porc. 

The Girl :

Which one? 

Mark :

The Porcellian, the Porc. 

It's the best of the best.

The Girl :

Which Roosevelt?

Mark :

Theodore. 

The Girl :

Is it true that they send a bus around 

to pick up girls who want to party 

with the next Fed chairman? 

Mark :

So you can see why it's 

so important to get in. 

The Girl :

Okay, well, which is the 

easiest to get into?

Mark :

Why would you ask me that?

The Girl :

I was just asking. 

Mark :

None of them. That's the point. 

My friend Eduardo made $300,000 

betting oil futures one summer and 

Eduardo won't come close to getting in. 

The ability to make money doesn't 

impress anybody around here. 

The Girl :

Must be nice. He made 

$300,000 in a summer?

Mark :

He likes meteorology.

The Girl :

You said it was oil futures. 

Mark :

You can read the weather, you can predict 

the price of heating oil. 

The Girl :

I think you asked me that because you think the final club that's easiest to get into is the one where I'll have the best chance. I... 

The Girl :

What? 

Mark :

You asked me which one was 

the easiest to get into 

because you think that 

that's the one where 

I'll have the best chance. 

The Girl :

The one that's the easiest to get into would be 

the one where anybody has the best chance. 

Mark :

You didn't ask me which one was the best one, 

you asked me which one was the easiest one. 

The Girl :

I was honestly just asking, okay? 

I was just asking to ask.

Mark, I'm not speaking in code.

Mark :

Enca. 

The Girl :

You're obsessed with finals clubs. 

You have finals clubs OCD and you 

need to see someone about it 

who will prescribe you some sort of medication. 

You don't care if the side effects 

may include blindness. 

Mark :

Final clubs. Not "finals clubs." And there's a difference 

between being obsessed and being motivated. 

The Girl :

Yes. There is. 

Well, you do. That was cryptic, so 

you do speak in code. 

The Girl :

I didn't mean to be cryptic. 

Mark :

I'm just saying I need to do something substantial 

in order to get the attention of The Clubs. 

The Girl :

Why?

Mark :

Because they're exclusive. And fun, 

and they lead to a better life. 

The Girl :

Teddy Roosevelt didn't 

get elected president 

because he was a member 

of The Phoenix Club. 

Mark :

He was a member 

of The Porcellian, 

and yes, he did. 

The Girl :

Well, why don't you just concentrate on 

being the best you you can be? 

Mark :

Did you really just say that? 

The Girl :

I was kidding. Just because 

something's trite 

doesn't make it less true. 

Mark :

I wanna try to be straightforward with you 

and tell you I think you might want to 

be a little more supportive. 

If I get in, I will be taking you to the events 

and the gatherings, and you'll be meeting 

a lot of people you wouldn't 

normally get to meet. 

The Girl :

(horrified) You would 

do that for me? 

Mark :

We're dating. 

The Girl :

Okay - Well, I wanna 

try and be straightforward 

with you and let you know 

that we're not any more.

Mark :

What do you mean?

The Girl :

We're not dating any more. 

I'm sorry. Is this a joke?

The Girl :

No, it's not. 

Mark :

You're breaking up with me? 

The Girl :

You're gonna introduce me to people 

I wouldn't normally have the chance to meet? 

What the... What is that supposed to mean?

Mark :

Wait, settle down.

The Girl :

What is it supposed to mean? 

Mark :

Erica, the reason we're able to sit here and drink right now 

is 'cause you used to sleep with the door guy. 

The Girl :

"The door guy"? His name is Bobby. 

I have not slept with the door guy. 

The door guy is a friend of mine, 

and he's a perfectly good class of people. 

And what part of Long Island 

are you from, Wimbledon?

Mark :

Wait. Wait, wait. 

The Girl :

I'm going back to my dorm.

Is this real? 

The Girl :

Yes.

 Then wait, I apologise, okay?

I have to go study.

Mark :

Enca?

Yes?

Mark :

I'm sorry, I mean it. 

The Girl :

I appreciate that, but I have to go study. 

Mark :

Come on, you don't have to study. 

Let's just talk. 

I can't. 

Mark :

Why? 

The Girl :

Because it is exhausting. 

Dating you is like 

dating a StairMaster. 

Mark :

All I meant is that you're not likely to... Currently... 

I wasn't making a comment on your appearance. 

I was saying that you go to BU. 

I was stating a fact, that's all, and 

if it seemed rude, then I apologise.

The Girl :

I have to go study.

Mark :

You don't have to study. 

The Girl :

Why do you keep saying 

I don't have to study? 

'Cause you go to BU. Do you 

want to get some food? 

The Girl :

I am sorry you are not sufficiently 

impressed with my education. 

Mark :

And I'm sorry I don't have 

a rowboat, so we're even.

The Girl :

I think we should just be friends.

Mark :

I don't want friends. 

The Girl :

I was just being polite. I have no intention 

of being friends with you. 

Mark :

I'm under some pressure right now from 

my OS class and if we could just order 

some food, I think we should... 

The Girl :

Okay, you are probably going to be 

a very successful computer person. 

But you're gonna go through Life thinking that 

girls don't like you because you're a nerd. 

And I want you to know from the bottom 

of my heart that that won't be true.

 It'll be because You're An Asshole.

while before we talked.

I'm from Atlanta.

I'm a forensic psychiatrist.

The State employed me to determine 

if certain people who did very bad things 

would do them again if they were 

released from prison.

That was my job. 

Now I live here.

Because of the state of The State

Eastman :

It's PTSD. You've been 

through trauma, right?

Morgan :

You see that blood on 

the end of my stick?

At the sharp end?

That was two men.

Father and son, maybe.

I stabbed one through the throat.

He just fell to the ground with it 

stuck in him trying to breathe 

through the blood.

Other one I strangled. 

No rope, just my hands.

That was the day before I came here.

Maybe-- maybe the same day.

I-- I don't know.

But that's What I Did.

That's What I Do.

Eastman :

You killed a  lot of people?

Morgan :

Yes.

Eastman :

They were threatening

Morgan :

Not all of them.

You save anyone?

You saved people.

You had someone 

you loved, didn't you?

Children? Oh. 

You loved them.

You loved them a lot

You saw it Happen.

That's how this

It's all happening right in front 

of your eyes over and over.

Your Body's here, but
Your Mind is still there.

There's A Door and 

You want to go through it 

to get away from it, so you do 

and it leads you right back 

to that moment.

And you see that door again 

and you know it won't work,

 but, hell, maybe it'll work.

So you step through that door 

and you're right back in that 

horrible moment every time.

You still feel it every time.

So you just want to stop 

opening that door.

So you just sit in it.

But I assure you, 

one of those doors 

leads out, my friend.

Morgan :

I don't have any friends.

Eastman :

Get to know me.

Morgan :

Oh, I'm gonna kill you.

Eastman :

Why?

Morgan :

Because I Have 

to Clear.

Eastman :

See, that's the thing. You don't.

(scoffs) We're not 

built to Kill.

We don't have claws 

or fangs or armor.

Vets that came back with PTSD, 

that didn't happen because 

we're comfortable with Killing.

We're not. We can't be.

We feel. We're connected.

You know, I've interviewed over 

825 people who've 

done terrible things --

I've only met one evil person.

Some of them were born with bad brains.

Some of them got sick along the way.

The rest were just damaged people.

Traumatised themselves like you, 

but they could heal.

Some more, 

some less, but 

they can.

We all can.

I know it.

It's all A Circle and 

everything gets a return.

The Door is open.

That Door right there. 

The cell door, it's open.

I threw The Key in 

The River a while back.

I'm not gonna hold you anymore.

I can't stop you. Go, clear.

Or stay, crash on the couch, and 

we'll try to find you 

another way.

The Door's open.

It's been open all along.

You stay or you go.

Those are the choices.

I will not allow You to Kill Me.

I will not allow that.
