社交网络 The Social Network Movie Script

EDUARDO:

Yeah.

MARK:

It wasn't because I put up pictures of hot girls. You can go anywhere on the internet and see pictures of hot girls.

EDUARDO:

Yeah.

MARK:

It was because I put up pictures of girls that people knew. So if people Want to go on the internet and check out their friends, why can't I build a website that offers that? An online community of friends. Pictures, profiles, whatever you can click into, visit, browse around. All from the privacy of your dorm room. I'm not talking about a dating site. I'm talking about taking the entire social structure of college and putting it online.

EDUARDO:

I can't feel my legs.

MARK:

I know, I'm totally pumped about this.

BUT WARDO--

I told him I thought it sounded great. I mean it did, it was a great idea. There was no reason to hack, people were going to put their own pictures up. What they were interested in, what they were looking for, what classes they were taking... and people had the ability to invite their friends to join. Or put a different way, not invite their friends to join. In a world where social structure is very important, that was sexy.

(BEAT) 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 Moskowitz and Chris Hughes were programmers.
