MARK:

Congratulations.

112.

EDUARDO:

(BEAT) He was obsessed with the guy from Sequoia Capital. He was followed by private detectives.

MARK:

Who came up with nothing.

EDUARDO:

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

MARK:

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

EDUARDO:

You can read about it,

MARK:

And you can read about you torturing birds.

EDUARDO:

Don't fish eat other fish?! The marlins and the trout?!

DUSTIN:

What the hell?

MARK:

I'm interviewing interns at 10 tomorrow night in t}y CS lab. Get on board with this or not.

CUT TO:

INT. COMPUTER SCIENCE BUILDING/BASEMENT CORRIDOR NIGHT EDUARDO steps through double doors and stops for a moment as he HEARS an odd sound--RAUCOUS CHEERING from a'CROWD that's gathered in one of the classrooms.

EDUARDO walks down to the classroom, opens the door and walks INTO-- INT. CLASSROOM - NIGHT --where'60 or so STUDENTS are in a semi-circle, five and six deep, cheering on the contestants for the internship.

All the desks in the room have been moved to the sides and five desks with laptops set up in the middle. Next to each laptop is a shot glass filled with Jack Daniels.

113, DUSTIN'S holding a. watch and MARK is walking slowly back and forth behind the five "interviewees" who are intensely typing at their keyboards.

EDUARDO slowly makes his way through the crowd to MARK. He can see that on the computer screens are a whole lot of numbers and letters that neither he nor we can understand.

He stands next to MARK and watches this for a moment. Every once in a while, one of the contestants will throw back their shot of Jack Daniels which will instantly get re-filled by a PRETTY ASIAN GIRL. Throughout all this the CHEERING CONTINUES.

EDUARDO:

(PAUSE) Mark?

MARY, Yeah.

EDUARDO:

What's goin' on?

MARK:

They have 10 minutes to get 'root access to a Python webserver, expose its SSL encry�ti_on and then intercept all traffic over its secure port.

EDUARDO:

They're hacking.

MARK:

All behind a Pix Firewall Emulator. But here's the beauty.

EDUARDO:

You know I didn't understand what you just said, right?

MARL:

I do know that.
