The Social Network 2010 quotes

What do you do?

Sean Parker

I'm an entrepreneur.

You're unemployed.

Sean Parker

I wouldn't say that.

What would you say?

Sean Parker

That I'm an entrepreneur.

Well what was your latest "preneur"?

Sean Parker

Well, I founded an Internet company that let folks download and share music for free.

Kind of like Napster?

Sean Parker

Exactly like Napster.

What do you mean?

Sean Parker

I founded Napster.

Sean Parker founded Napster.

Sean Parker

Nice to meet you.

You're Sean Parker?

Sean Parker

Aha! You see, the shoe is on the other...

Foot?

Sean Parker

Table. Which has turned.

I just slept with Sean Parker?

Sean Parker

You just slept on Sean Parker.

What, do you want to hire an IP lawyer and sue him?

No, I want to hire the Sopranos to beat the shit out of him with a hammer!

We don't even have to do that.

That's right.

We can do that ourselves. I'm 6'5", 220, and there's two of me.

When did you get back?

Eduardo Saverin

You scared me. I need you to knock.

When did you get back?

Eduardo Saverin

I got back this afternoon.

And when were you going to call me?

Eduardo Saverin

Chris, it was kind of a rough trip and I was tired and...

Or answer one of my 47 texts? Did you know I sent 47 texts?

Eduardo Saverin

I did, and I thought that was incredibly normal behavior.

Are you mocking me?

Eduardo Saverin

I brought you a present.

Why does your status say "single" on your Facebook page?

Eduardo Saverin

What?

Why does your relationship status say "single" on your Facebook page?!

Eduardo Saverin

I was single when I set up the page.

And you somehow never bothered to change it?

Eduardo Saverin

I –

What?

Eduardo Saverin

I don't know how.

Do I look stupid to you?

Eduardo Saverin

No. Calm down.

You're asking me to believe that the CFO of Facebook doesn't know how to change his relationship status on Facebook?!

Eduardo Saverin

It's a little embarrassing, so you should take it as a sign of trust that I would tell you that.

Go to hell.

Eduardo Saverin

Take it easy.

No! You didn't change it so you could screw those Silicon Valley sluts every time you got to see Mark!

Eduardo Saverin

It's not even remotely true, and I can promise you that the Silicon Valley sluts don't care what anyone's relationship status is on Facebook. Please open your present. [his cell phone rings]

Your phone does work. It's Mark.

Eduardo Saverin

This is gonna be tricky. Please open your present. It's a silk scarf.

Have you ever seen me wear a scarf?

Eduardo Saverin

This will be your first. [answering his cell phone] Yeah?

Mark Zuckerberg

You froze our account?

Eduardo Saverin

I did.

Mark Zuckerberg

You froze the account!

Eduardo Saverin

I had to get your attention, Mark.

Mark Zuckerberg

Do you realize that you jeopardized the entire company? Do you realize that your actions could have permanently destroyed everything I've been working on?

Eduardo Saverin

We have been working on!

Mark Zuckerberg

Without money, the site can't function. Okay, let me tell you the difference between Facebook and everyone else: we don't crash, ever! If those servers are down for even a day, our entire reputation is irreversibly destroyed! Users are fickle, Friendster has proved that. Even a few people leaving would reverberate through the entire userbase. The users are interconnected, that is the whole point. College kids are online because their friends are online, and if one domino goes, the other dominoes go, don't you get that?! I am not going back to the Caribbean Night at AEPi!

Eduardo Saverin

I don't want that guy representing himself as a part of this company.

Mark Zuckerberg

You gotta move out here, Wardo; this is where its all happening.

Eduardo Saverin

Did you hear what I just said?

Mark Zuckerberg

The connections, the energy--

Eduardo Saverin

Mark, you gotta--

Mark Zuckerberg

I'm afraid if you don't come out here, you're gonna get left behind. I want... I need you out here. [Embarrassed] Please don't tell him {Sean} I said that.

Eduardo Saverin

What did you just say?

Mark Zuckerberg

It's moving faster than any of us ever imagined it would. It's moving fast.

Eduardo Saverin

What did you mean?

Mark Zuckerberg

And Sean thinks we have...

Eduardo Saverin

Sean's not a part of this company.

Mark Zuckerberg

We have over 300,000 members Wardo...

Eduardo Saverin

I'm aware of that.

Mark Zuckerberg

...and we're in 160 schools, including five in Europe.

Eduardo Saverin

I'm aware of that! MARK, I'M THE CFO!!

Mark Zuckerberg

We need more programmers, and we need more money, and he's set up the Thiel meeting. He set up meetings all over town.

Eduardo Saverin

He set up other meetings?

Mark Zuckerberg

Yes.

Eduardo Saverin

Without me knowing anything about it?

Mark Zuckerberg

You were in New York!

Eduardo Saverin

I'M IN NEW YORK, RIDING SUBWAYS 14 HOURS A DAY, TRYING TO FIND ADVERTISERS!!

Mark Zuckerberg

Yeah, and how's it going so far?!

Eduardo Saverin

What did you mean, "get left behind"?

Eduardo Saverin

Mark. Mark!

Sean Parker

He's wired in.

Eduardo Saverin

I'm sorry?

Sean Parker

He's wired in.

Eduardo Saverin

Is he?

Sean Parker

Yes.

Eduardo Saverin

How 'bout now? Still "wired in"?!

Sean Parker

Call security.

Eduardo Saverin

You issued 24 million new shares of stock?!

Mark Zuckerberg

You-- You were told that if new investors came along--

Eduardo Saverin

How much were your shares diluted? [Points to Sean] How much were his?

Gretchen

What was Mr. Zuckerberg's ownership share diluted down to?

Eduardo Saverin

It wasn't.

Gretchen

What was Mr. Moskovitz's ownership share diluted down to?

Eduardo Saverin

It wasn't.

Gretchen

What was Sean Parker's ownership share diluted down to?

Eduardo Saverin

It wasn't.

Gretchen

What was Peter Thiel's ownership share diluted down to?

Eduardo Saverin

It wasn't.

Gretchen

And what was your ownership share diluted down to?

Eduardo Saverin

.03 percent.

Mark Zuckerberg

You signed the papers.

Eduardo Saverin

You set me up.

Mark Zuckerberg

You're gonna blame me because you were the business head of the company and you made a bad business deal with your own company?

Eduardo Saverin

This is gonna be like I'm not a part of Facebook!

Sean Parker

It won't be "like" you're not a part of Facebook. You're not a part of Facebook.

Eduardo Saverin

My name's on the masthead.

Sean Parker

You might wanna check again.

Eduardo Saverin

This because I froze the account?!

Sean Parker

Did you think we were going to let you parade around in your ridiculous suits pretending you were running this company?

Eduardo Saverin

I'M SORRY! MY PRADA'S AT THE CLEANERS, [turns back to Mark], along with my hoodie and my "**** you" flip-flops! You pretentious douchebag!

Sean Parker

Security's here, you'll be leaving now.

Eduardo Saverin

I'm not signing those papers.

Sean Parker

We will get the signature.

Eduardo Saverin

Tell me this isn't about me getting into the Phoenix!

Eduardo Saverin

You...! You did it, I knew you did it! You planted the story about the chicken!

Mark Zuckerberg

I didn't plant the story about the chicken.

Sean Parker

What's he talking about?

Eduardo Saverin

You had me accused of animal cruelty!

Sean Parker

Seriously, what the hell's the chicken?

Eduardo Saverin

And I'll bet what you hated the most was that they identified me as a co-founder of Facebook, which I am. You better lawyer up, asshole! Because I'm not just coming back for 30%, I'm coming back for everything.

Sean Parker

Get him out of here.

Eduardo Saverin

It's okay, I'm going.

Sean Parker

Hang on! [Pulls out a check] Almost forgot. Here's your $19,000. I wouldn't cash it, though. I drew it on the account you froze.

Eduardo Saverin

I like standing next to you, Sean. It makes me look so tough.

Eduardo Saverin

You don't think it's strange that he {Sean} was followed by private detectives?

Mark Zuckerberg

Who came up with nothing.

Eduardo Saverin

Enough to get him out of the company. The drugs, the girls.

Mark Zuckerberg

We don't know any of that's true.

Eduardo Saverin

You can read about it.

Mark Zuckerberg

I can read about you torturing birds. Since when did you--

Eduardo Saverin

OK, DON'T FISH EAT OTHER FISH?! THE MARLINS AND THE TROUT?!!

What's he talking about?

Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?

Mark Zuckerberg

No.

Do you think I deserve it?

Mark Zuckerberg

What?

Do you think I deserve your full attention?

Mark Zuckerberg

I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don't want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.

Okay – no. You don't think I deserve your attention.

Mark Zuckerberg

I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try, but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention – you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing. [pauses] Did I adequately answer your condescending question?

Gretchen

Eduardo, spring break, you and Mr. Zuckerberg took a trip to New York.

Saverin

Yes.

Gretchen

What was the purpose of the trip?

Saverin

Well, as CFO, I had set up some meetings with potential advertisers.

Gretchen

Who paid for the trip?

Saverin

It was paid for out of the thousand dollar account I had set up a few months earlier.

Gretchen

At this point, your thousand dollars was the only money that had been put into the company?

Saverin

Yes.

Gretchen

How did you feel the meetings went.

Saverin

They went terribly.

Gretchen

Why?

Saverin

Mark was asleep.

I was not asleep.

Saverin

Can I rephrase my answer? I wish he'd been asleep.

Gretchen

Eighteen thousand dollars?

Eduardo Saverin

Yes.

Gretchen

In addition to the one thousand dollars you'd already put up.

Eduardo Saverin

Yes.

Gretchen

A total of nineteen thousand dollars, now.

Eduardo Saverin

Yes.

Mark Zuckerberg

Hang on.

Mark Zuckerberg

I'm just checking your math on that. [sarcastic pause] Yes, I got the same thing.

Mark Zuckerberg

I went to my friend for the money because that's who I wanted to be partners with. Eduardo was the president of the Harvard Investors Association, and he was also my best friend.

Your best friend is suing you for $600 million.

Mark Zuckerberg

I didn't know that, tell me more.

Mark Zuckerberg

I'm not a bad guy.

Marylin Delpy

I know that. When there's emotional testimony, I assume that 85% of it is exaggeration.

Mark Zuckerberg

And the other 15?

Marylin Delpy

Perjury. Creation myths need a Devil.

Marylin Delpy

What are you doing?

Mark Zuckerberg

Checking in to see how it's going in Bosnia.

Marylin Delpy

Bosnia. They don't have roads, but they have Facebook. [pause] You must really hate the Winklevosses.

Mark Zuckerberg

I don't hate anybody. The "Winklevii" aren't suing me for intellectual property theft. They're suing me because for the first time in their lives, things didn't go exactly the way they were supposed to for them.

Parker

You know this is where they filmed Towering Inferno.

Zuckerberg

That's comforting.

Sean Parker

You think you know me, don't you?

Eduardo Saverin

I've read enough.

Sean Parker

You know how much I've read about you? [whispers] Nothing.

Erica Albright

Good luck with your video game.
