Did you know there are more people
with genius IQs living in China

than there are people of any kind
living in the United States?

- That can't possibly be true.
- It is.

What would account for that?

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?

- I didn't know they take SATs in China.
- They don't.

I wasn't talking about China anymore,
I was talking about me.

You got a 1600?

Yes. I could sing in an a cappella group,
but I can't sing.

Does that mean you actually
got nothing wrong?

I could row crew or invent a $25 PC.

Or you could get into a final club.

Or I get into a final club.

You know, from a woman's perspective,

sometimes not singing in
an a cappella group is a good thing.

This is serious.

On the other hand,
I do like guys who row crew.

Well, I can't do that.

I was kidding.

And, yes, I got nothing wrong on the test.

- Have you ever tried?
- I'm trying right now.

- To row crew?
- To get into a final club.

To row crew? No.
Are you, like, whatever, delusional?

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

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

But you've seen guys who row crew, right?

No.

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.

I guess I just meant I like the idea of it.
You know, the way a girl likes cowboys.

Okay.

Should we get something to eat?

Would you like to talk
about something else?

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...

The Phoenix is the most diverse.
The Fly Club... Roosevelt punched the Porc.

Which one?

The Porcellian, the Porc.
It's the best of the best.

- Which Roosevelt?
- Theodore.

Is it true that they send a bus around
to pick up girls

who want to party with
the next Fed chairman?

So you can see why
it's so important to get in.

Okay, well, which is the easiest to get into?

- Why would you ask me that?
- I was just asking.

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.

Must be nice.
He made $300,000 in a summer?

- He likes meteorology.
- You said it was oil futures.

You can read the weather,
you can predict the price of heating oil.

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... What?

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

where anybody has the best chance.

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

you asked me which one
was the easiest one.

I was honestly just asking, okay?
I was just asking to ask.

- Mark, I'm not speaking in code.
- Erica.

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.

Final clubs. Not "finals clubs."

And there's a difference between
being obsessed and being motivated.

Yes. There is.

Well, you do.
That was cryptic, so you do speak in code.

I didn't mean to be cryptic.

I'm just saying I need to do
something substantial

in order to get the attention of the clubs.

- Why?
- Because they're exclusive.

And fun, and they lead to a better life.

Teddy Roosevelt didn't get elected president

because he was a member
of the Phoenix Club.

He was a member of the Porcellian,
and yes, he did.

Well, why don't you just concentrate
on being the best you you can be?

Did you really just say that?

I was kidding.

Just because something's trite
doesn't make it less true.

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.

You would do that for me?

We're dating.

Okay.

Well, I wanna try and be
straightforward with you

and let you know that we're not anymore.

- What do you mean?
- We're not dating anymore. I'm sorry.

- Is this a joke?
- No, it's not.

You're breaking up with me?

You're gonna introduce me to people

I wouldn't normally
have the chance to meet?

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

- Wait, settle down.
- What is it supposed to mean?

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

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

"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?

- Wait. Wait, wait.
- I'm going back to my dorm.

- Is this real?
- Yes.

- Then wait, I apologize, okay?
- I have to go study.

- Erica?
- Yes?

- I'm sorry, I mean it.
- I appreciate that, but I have to go study.

Come on, you don't have to study.
Let's just talk.

- I can't.
- Why?

Because it is exhausting.
Dating you is like dating a StairMaster.

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 apologize.

- I have to go study.
- You don't have to study.

Why do you keep saying
I don't have to study?

'Cause you go to BU.

Do you want to get some food?

I am sorry you are not sufficiently
impressed with my education.

And I'm sorry I don't have a rowboat,
so we're even.

- I think we should just be friends.
- I don't want friends.

I was just being polite.

I have no intention
of being friends with you.

I'm under some pressure right now
from my OS class

and if we could just order some food,
I think we should...

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.

Erica Albright's a bitch.

Do you think that's because her family
changed their name from Albrecht,

or do you think it's because
all BU girls are bitches?

For the record, she may look like a 34C,

but she's getting all kinds of help
from our friends at Victoria's Secret.

She's a 34B, as in barely anDhing there.
False advertising.

The truth is, she has a nice face.

I need to do something
to take my mind off her.

Easy enough, except I need an idea.

I'm a little intoxicated, I'm not gonna lie.

So what if it's not even 10:00 p.m.
And it's a Tuesday night?

Billy.

The Kirkland facebook
is open on my desktop,

and some of these people have
pretty horrendous facebook pics.

Billy Olson's sitting here and had
the idea of putting some of the pictures

next to pictures of farm animals
and have people vote on who's hotter.

Good call, Mr. Olson.

Yeah, it's on.
I'm not gonna do the farm animals,

but I like the idea of comparing
two people together.

It gives the whole thing a very "Turing" feel

since people's ratings of the pictures
will be more implicit

than, say, choosing a number to
represent each person's hotness,

like they do on hotornot. Com.

The first thing we're going to need
is a lot of pictures.

Unfortunately, Harvard doesn't keep
a public centralized facebook,

so I'm going to have to get all the images

from the individual houses
that people are in.

Let the hacking begin.

First up is Kirkland.

They keep everything open and allow
indexes in their Apache configuration.

So a little Wget magic is all that's necessary
to download the entire Kirkland facebook.

Kids' stuff.

Next is Eliot.

They're also open,
but with no indexes on Apache.

I can run an empty search

and it returns all of the images
in the database in a single page.

And I can save the page and Mozilla
will save all the images for me.

Excellent. Moving right along.

Excuse me! Everybody!

You are at one of the oldest,
one of the most exclusive clubs,

not just at Harvard, but in the world.

And I want to welcome you all

to Phoenix Club's first party
of the fall semester!

Lowell has some security.
They require a user name/password combo,

and I'm gonna go ahead and say they don't
have access to the main FAS user database,

so they have no way
of detecting an intrusion.

Adams has no security, but limits
the number of results to 20 a page.

All I need to do is break out the same script
I used on Lowell and we're set.

Quincy has no online facebook.
What a sham.

Nothing I can do about that.

Dunster is intense.

Not only is there no public directory,
but there's no directory at all.

You have to do searches,

and if your search returns more
than 20 matches, nothing gets returned.

And once you do get results,
they don't link directly to the images.

They link to a PHP that redirects
or something. Weird.

This may be difficult. I'll come back later.

- Hey, Shark Week's on.
- What?

- Great white, beautiful fish.
- Nice.

Leverett is a little better.
They still make you search,

but you can do an empty search and get
links to pages with every student's picture.

It's slightly obnoxious that they
only let you view one picture at a time,

and there's no way I'm going to go
to 500 pages to download pics one at a time.

So it's definitely necessary to break out
Emacs and modify that Perl script.

Here you go.

Done.

Hey, what's going on?

Perfect timing. Eduardo's here
and he's going to have the key ingredient.

- Hey, Mark.
- Wardo.

You and Erica split up.

How did you know that?

It's on your blog.

- Yeah.
- Are you all right?

- I need you.
- I'm here for you.

No, I need the algorithm you use
to rank chess players.

- Are you okay?
- We're ranking girls.

- You mean other students.
- Yeah.

You think this is such a good idea?

- I need the algorithm.
- Mark...

I need the algorithm.

Give each girl a base rating of 1400.

At any given time Girl A has a rating R-a
and Girl B has a rating R-b.

When any two girls are matched up,
there's an expectation of which will win

based on their current rating, right?

Yeah. And those expectations
are expressed this way.

Let's write it.

One on the left.

The right.

Yeah, still the right.

- It works.
- Who should we send it to first?

- Dwyer.
- Neal.

- Who are you gonna send it to?
- Just a couple of people.

The question is,

who are they gonna send it to?

Hey, guys, check this out.

Someone go to the left. Dude, do left.

Look at these girls. Right or left?

- Left is hot.
- Left? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right or left?

That's my roommate.

- Oh, my God.
- The girl on the left.

This is pathetic.

Right.

Left.

- Left.
- Left?

Oh, shit.

Albright.

He blogged about you.

You don't wanna read it.

Left.

Latina.

Erica.

Is this yours?

I stole it from a tranny.

Get the hell out of here!

- Left.
- One on the right.

Left.

Man, that's an awful lot of traffic.

You think maybe we shouldn't shut it down
before we get into trouble?

Hello?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. What?

At 4:00 in the morning?

Well, there's a very unusual amount
of traffic to the switch at Kirkland.

You're saying it's unusual
for 4:00 in the morning?

No, this'd be unusual
for halftime at the Super Bowl.

All right.

I gotta go in.

What's going on?

Harvard's network is about to crash.

You don't think...

I do.

Go see if it's everybody's.

I can't connect.

The network's down.

Unless it's a coincidence, I think this is us.

It's not a coincidence.

Holy shit.

So you were called in front of the Ad Board.

That's not what happened.

You weren't called in front
of the Administrative Board?

No, back. I mean back at the bar
with Erica Albright. She said all that?

- Mark...
- That I said that stuff to her?

I was reading from the transcript
of her deposition.

Yeah, why would you even need
to depose her?

That's really for us to decide.

You think if I know she can make me
look like a jerk, I'll be more likely to settle.

Why don't we stretch our legs for a minute?

Can we do that?
It's been almost three hours.

And frankly, you did spend an awful lot
of time embarrassing Mr. Zuckerberg

with the girl's testimony from the bar.

I'm not embarrassed,
she just made a lot of that up.

She was under oath.

Then I guess that would be the first time
somebody's lied under oath.

The site got 2,200 hits within two hours?

Thousand.

What?

Twenty-two thousand.

Wow.

These guys are just freakin' fast.

Is there any way to make this a fair fight?

Jump out and swim.

I think we'd have to jump out and drown.

Well, you could row forward
and I could row backward.

We're genetically identical.
Science says we'd stay in one place.

Just row the damn boat.

- You guys hear about this?
- What?

Two nights ago, a sophomore choked
the network from a laptop at Kirkland.

- Really?
- At 4:00 a.m.

How?

He set up a website where you vote
on the hotness of female undergrads.

What were we doing
that none of us heard about this?

I don't know.

A three-hour low-rate
technical row before breakfast.

Full course load. Studying.

Another three hours in the tank
and then studying.

I'm not sure how we missed it.

How much activity was there on this thing?

Twenty-two thousand page requests.

Twenty-two thousand?

Cam, this guy hacked
the facebook of seven houses.

He set up the whole website in one night,
and he did it while he was drunk.

Twenty-two thousand?

- Well, how do you know he was drunk?
- He was blogging simultaneously.

- You know what I think?
- Way ahead of you.

This is our guy.

Cameron Winklevoss.

W-l-N-K-L-E-V-O-S-S.

"Cameron" spelled the usual way.

Tyler Winklevoss.

Tyler spelled the usual way, and my
last name is the same as my brother's.

Mr. Zuckerberg, this is
an Administrative Board hearing.

You're being accused
of intentionally breaching security,

violating copyrights,

violating individual privacy
by creating the website www.facemash.com.

You're also charged with
being in violation of university policy,

on distribution of digitized images.

Before we begin with our questioning,
you're allowed to make a statement.

Would you like to do so?

I...

You know, I've already apologized
in The Crimson to the ABHW,

to Fuerza Latina,

and to any women at Harvard
who may have been insulted,

as I take it that they were.

As for any charges stemming
from the breach of security,

I believe I deserve
some recognition from this board.

- I'm sorry?
- Yes.

I don't understand.

Which part?

You deserve recognition?

I believe I've pointed out
some pretty gaping holes in your system.

- Excuse me, may I?
- Yes.

Mr. Zuckerberg,

I'm in charge of security
for all computers on the Harvard network,

and I can assure you of its sophistication.

In fact, it was that level of sophistication
that led us to you in less than four hours.

- Four hours?
- Yes, sir.

That would be impressive,

except if you had known
what you were looking for,

you would have seen it
written on my dorm room window.

So?

Six months academic probation.

Wow. Well, they had to make
an example out of you.

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 humor?

- I tried to stop you.
- I know.

How do you do this thing where
you manage to get all girls to hate us?

- And why do I let you?
- I know.

- You can't do that.
- Wardo, I said I know.

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?

And I see we have our first surrender.

Don't worry, Mr. Zuckerberg.

Brighter men than you
have tried and failed this class.

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?
- Yeah.

- Cameron Winklevoss.
- Hi.

Tyler Winklevoss.

Are you guys related?

- That's good.
- Funny.

We never heard that before.

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?

You guys look like
you spend some time at the gym.

- We have to.
- Why?

We row crew.

- Yeah, I've got a minute.
- Great.

- So, you ever been inside the Porcellian?
- No.

You understand we can't take you
past the bike room,

because you're not a member.

I've heard.

- You want a sandwich or something?
- Okay.

- Mark, right?
- Yeah.

- Mark, this is Divya Narendra, our partner.
- Hi.

We were really impressed with Facemash.

When we checked you out,
you also built CourseMatch.

I don't know CourseMatch.

You go online and see
what courses your friends are taking.

It's really smart, man.

- Mark.
- Yeah.

We were talking about CourseMatch.

It was kind of a no-brainer.

But you invented something
in high school, too, right?

An app for an MP3 player
that recognizes your taste in music.

Anybody try to buy it?

Microsoft.

Wow. How much?

Didn't sell it. Uploaded it for free.

- For free?
- Yeah.

Why?

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...

Yeah, how is that different
from MySpace or Friendster?

Harvard. Edu.

Harvard. Edu is the most prestigious
e-mail address in the country, man.

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...

Is exclusivity. Right?

- Right.
- Yeah.

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.

Wow. You would do that for me?

We'd like to work with you.

Our first programmer graduated
and went to work for Google.

Our second programmer
just got overwhelmed with schoolwork.

We would need you to build the site and
write the code, and we'll provide all the...

I'm in.

What?

I'm in.

Awesome.

That's what you said?

It was three or four years ago.
I don't know what I said.

When did you come to Eduardo?

I don't understand that question.

Do you remember answering
in the affirmative?

The affirmative?

When did you come to Eduardo
with the idea for Facebook?

It was called The Facebook then.

This doesn't need to be that difficult.

I'm currently in the middle
of two different lawsuits.

Did you answer affirmatively

when Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss
and Divya Narendra

asked you to build Harvard Connection?

Did you say yes?

I said I'd help.

When did you approach Mr. Saverin
with the idea for The Facebook?

I wouldn't say I approached him.

- Sy.
- You can answer the question.

At a party at Alpha Epsilon Pi.

What's that?

The Jewish fraternity.

It was Caribbean Night.

It's not that guys like me
are generally attracted to Asian girls.

It's that Asian girls are
generally attracted to guys like me.

I'm developing an algorithm
to define the connection

between Jewish guys and Asian girls.

I don't think it's that complicated.
They're hot, they're smart,

they're not Jewish, and they can't dance.

Hey, Mark's here.

Mark!

Be right back.

I think I've come up with something.

Hang on. I gotta tell you something
that you're not gonna believe.

What?

I got punched by the Phoenix.

- Are you kidding?
- No.

I mean, it's just the first
of a four-step process,

but they slid the invitation
under my door tonight.

I go to my first punch party tomorrow.

So...

You got punched by the Phoenix.

Yeah, but, you know,
it was probably just a diversity thing.

It was just a diversity thing.
Just ride that horse until...

What did you wanna talk to me about?

- Mark?
- Yeah.

You said you'd come up with something.

Yeah, I think I've come up with something.
Come outside and let's talk.

It's 20 degrees outside.

I can't stare at that loop of Niagara Falls,

which has absolutely
nothing to do with the Caribbean.

People came to Facemash
in a stampede, right?

Yeah.

But it wasn't because
they saw pictures of hot girls.

You can go anywhere on the Internet
and see pictures of hot girls.

Yeah.

It was because they saw pictures
of girls that they knew.

People want to go on the Internet
and check out their friends,

so why not build a website that offers that?

Friends, pictures, profiles,
whatever you can visit.

Browse around.
Maybe it's someone you just met at a party.

But I'm not talking about a dating site.

I'm talking about taking the entire social
experience of college and putting it online.

- I can't feel my legs.
- I know.

I'm totally psyched about this, too.
But, Wardo?

Yeah?

"It would be exclusive."

You would have to know the people
on the site to get past your own page.

Like getting punched.

Now, that's good.

Wardo, it's like a final club,
except we're the president.

I told him I thought it sounded great.

It was a great idea.

There was nothing to hack.

People were gonna provide
their own pictures, their own information.

And people had the ability to invite,
or not invite, their friends to join.

See, in a world where
social structure was everything,

that was the thing.

It was a big project,

and he was going to have to write
tens of thousands of lines of code,

so I wondered why he was
coming to me and not his roommates,

Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.
They were programmers.

We're gonna need a little start-up cash
to rent the servers and get it online.

So that was why.

- Did he offer terms?
- Yes.

We'll split it, 70/30.

70 for me, 30 for you
for putting up the $1,000

and for handling everything
on the business end. You're CFO.

And you said?

I said, "Let's do it."

Okay. Did he add anything else?

Yes.

It probably was a diversity thing.

But so what?

Why do you think he said that?

Gretchen, excuse me for interrupting,
but whose discovery is this?

Sy, if you'll let me continue
with my line of questioning.

What are you suggesting?

That I was jealous of Eduardo
for getting punched by the Phoenix

and began a plan
to screw him out of a company

- I hadn't even invented yet.
- Were you?

- Gretchen.
- Jealous of Eduardo?

Stop typing. We're off the record.

Ma'am, I know you've done your homework,

and so you know that money
isn't a big part of my life.

But at the moment,
I could buy Mount Auburn Street,

take the Phoenix Club
and turn it into my ping-pong room.

I'll let you know how the party is.

We recognize that you're a plaintiff
in one suit involving Facebook,

and a witness in another.

Yes, sir.

At any time in the weeks
prior to Mark's telling you his idea,

did he mention Tyler Winklevoss,
Cameron Winklevoss,

Divya Narendra or Harvard Connection?

Yes. He said they'd asked him
to work on their site,

but that he looked at what they had
and decided it wasn't worth his time.

He said even his most pathetic friends

knew more about getting people
interested in a website than these guys.

"These guys," meaning my clients.

Yes. He resented...
Mark resented that your clients thought

that he needed to rehabilitate
his image after Facemash.

But Mark didn't want
to rehabilitate anything.

With Facemash, he'd hacked into
the Harvard computers,

he'd thumbed his nose at the Ad Board,
he'd gotten a lot of notoriety.

Facemash did exactly
what he wanted it to do.

Were you aware that while Mr. Zuckerberg
was building The Facebook,

he was also communicating
with the plaintiffs?

Not at the time, I wasn't. But...

It really didn't have much to do
with the Winklevosses' dating site.

How would you know?
You weren't even there.

Ty.

Were you aware that while Mr. Zuckerberg
was building The Facebook,

he was leading the plaintiffs to believe
he was building Harvard Connection?

You're offering a conclusion
not found in evidence.

We are about to find it in evidence.

From Mark Zuckerberg to Tyler Winklevoss.

November 30th, 2003.

"I read over all the stuff you sent me
re: Harvard Connection.

"And it seems like it shouldn't
take too long to implement.

"So we can talk about it after I get all
the basic functionality up tomorrow night."

From Mark Zuckerberg
to Cameron Winklevoss. December 1 st, 2003.

"Sorry I was unreachable tonight.
I just got about three of your missed calls.

"I was working on a problem set
for my systems class."

From Mark Zuckerberg
to Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.

December 10, 2003.

"This week has been pretty busy
thus far with classes and work,

"so I think it's probably best
to postpone the meeting."

"I'm also really busy tomorrow."

Okay, anybody else feel like
there's something up with this guy?

Tell him okay,

but we do have to make sure that
we meet up before we all go off for break.

I know, I know. Yeah, watch out.

Hey, Mark.

I need a dedicated Linux box
running Apache with a MySQL back end.

It's gonna cost a little more money.

- How much more?
- About 200 more.

- Do we need it?
- Gotta handle the traffic.

- Do it.
- I already did.

Hey, guess what?

I made the second cut.

That's good.

You should be proud of that right there.
Don't worry if you don't make it any further.

I'll get out of here.

From Mark Zuckerberg
to Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss

and Divya Narendra.

December 15th, 2003.

"I have a CS problem set
that I'm just getting started with

"and it should be about 15 hours of coding,
so I'll be busy tomorrow night."

"I won't really be free to meet
until next Wednesday afternoon."

"I have to cancel Wednesday afternoon.

"I've basically been in the lab
this whole time, and also I..."

"...won't be able to do Saturday,
as I have to meet up with my parents."

As the plaque reads, this is John Harvard,
founder of Harvard University in 1638.

It's also called the Statue of Three Lies.

What are the three lies?

Mr. Dowd.

The three lies. First...

Shit!

- Take your pants off.
- I know.

Mr. Saverin.

One, Harvard was founded in 1636, not 1638.

Two, Harvard was not founded
by John Harvard.

And three, that is not John Harvard.

Who is it?

It's a friend of the sculptor, Daniel Chester.

Keep yourjacket on.

Thirty-nine days after Mr. Zuckerberg's
initial meeting with my clients,

and he still hadn't completed work
on Harvard Connection.

But on January 11th, 2004,

Mr. Zuckerberg registered
the domain name The Facebook

via Network Solutions.

To the best of your knowledge, had he even
begun work on Harvard Connection?

Not to my knowledge. No.

What in the world is this?

"Hey, Cameron, I'm still a little skeptical
that we have enough functionality in the site

"to really draw the attention
and gain the critical mass necessary

"to get a site like this to run"?

"We'll speak soon"?

This is the first time
he mentioned any problem?

Yes, it was.

You sent 36 e-mails to Mr. Zuckerberg
and received 16 e-mails in return,

and this was the first time
he indicated he was not happy.

That's correct.

He had 42 days to study our system
and get out ahead.

- Do you see any of your code on Facebook?
- Sy, could you...

Did I use any of your code?

You stole our whole goddamn idea.

- Fellas.
- What? Match.com for Harvard guys?

Can I continue with my deposition?

You know, you really don't need
a forensics team to get to the bottom of this.

If you guys were the inventors of Facebook,

you'd have invented Facebook.

I can't wait to stand over your shoulder
and watch you write us a check.

No shit.

Let's continue.

February 4, 2004.

Mark.

There is a girl in your art history class.
Her name is Stephanie Attis.

Do you happen to know
if she has a boyfriend?

Have you ever seen her with anyone?

And, if not, do you happen to know
if she's looking to go out with anyone?

Dustin.

People don't walk around with
a sign on them that says...

Mark?

We were supposed to meet at 9:00.

- Have you slept yet?
- I have to add something.

What?

Shit, that looks good.
That looks really good.

It's clean and simple.

No Disneyland, no "live nude girls."
But watch.

What'd you write?

"Relationship Status." "Interested In."

This is what drives life at college.
"Are you having sex or aren't you?"

It's why people take certain classes
and sit where they sit and do what they do.

And at its center, you know, that's
what The Facebook is gonna be about.

People are gonna log on because
after all the cake and watermelon,

there's a chance they're actually gonna...

- Gonna get laid.
...meet a girl. Yes.

That is really good.

And that was it.

- What do you mean?
- It's ready.

- It's ready? Right now?
- Yeah. That was it.

And here's the masthead.

- You made a masthead.
- Yeah.

- "Eduardo Saverin, co-founder and CFO."
- Yeah.

You have no idea what
that's gonna mean to my father.

Sure I do.

So when's it going live?

Right now. Get your laptop out.

What? Why do we need my laptop?

Because you got e-mails
for everybody at the Phoenix.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's gonna be cool
with them that I spam their e-mails.

- This is not spam.
- No, I know it's not spam.

If we send it to our friends,
it's just gonna bounce around Dworkin.

I haven't gotten in yet.

These guys know people.
And I need their e-mails.

- Sure.
- Good.

Give me the mailing list.

Jabberwock12.listserv@harvard.edu.

These guys.

Yeah, they're literary geniuses

because the world's most obvious
Lewis Carroll reference is in...

- They're not so bad.
- I'm just saying.

Yeah, you're right.

The site's live.

You know, let's go get a drink and celebrate.

I'm buying.

Mark.

Mark, are you praying?

Whatever happened to Cole Porter
and Irving Berlin?

It's a Valentine's Day theme.
They're playing love songs.

Good point.

'Cause Cole Porter and Irving Berlin
never wrote any love songs.

Honey, you should put your laptop away.

Seven different people
spammed me the same link.

- KC.
- What is it?

I don't know.

But I'm really hoping
it's Cats That Look Like Hitler,

'cause I can never get enough of that.

No, it's not.

Div!

What?

This isn't mine.

Okay, what is wrong?

It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

Hey!

Not now!

We need 20 minutes!

Okay.

I just wanted to let you know
that Zuckerberg stole our website.

Mark Zuckerberg?

He stole our website.

It's been live for more than 36 hours.

Mr. Hotchkiss?
Ty, lawyer's on the phone with Dad.

Yes, sir, I'm here with my brother Tyler
and our business partner Divya.

"Welcome to The Facebook.

"The Facebook is an online directory
that connects people

"through different social networks.

"You must have a harvard. Edu address
to register."

Yeah, I called earlier.
I'm looking for Mark Zuckerberg.

Yes, sir.
He's actually quoted a couple times.

I can read it to you.

"'Everyone's been talking a lot about a
universal facebook within Harvard,' he says."

"He" meaning Mark.
