(into his cell phone)

You froze our account?

in the background there's a small celebration going on with

SEAN, DUSTIN, the INTERNS and of course some GIRLS. Champagne

is being sprayed from shaken bottles and the girls. are dancing

to triumphant music.

I did.

You froze the account.

I had to get your attention, mark.

Do you realize that you jeopardized the

entire company? Do you realize that your

actions could have easily destroyed

everything I've been working on?

We've been working on.

Without money, the company can't

function.

What EDUARDO can't see behind his back is that JENNY has taken

the gift box and lit it on fire with a cigarette lighter.

MARK (CONT'D)

If the servers are down for even a day,

our reputation is damaged irreversibly,.

Users are fickle. Friendster has proven

that fact.

And JENNY's now dropped the flaming cardboard box into the

wastebasket where the fire grows larger. She casually kicks

the basket over with her foot.

Even a small exodus, even a few people

leaving would reverberate through the

whole user base. The users are

interconnected, that's the whole fucking

point! College kids are online because

their friends are online and if one

(finally seeing the fire)

Holy shit!

--goes, all the dominos go! Do you get

that?! I'm not going back to Caribbean

Night at the Jewish fraternity!

I've got a fire in a my apartment!

Did you like being nothing?! Did you like

being nobody?! Did you like being a pasty-

faced geek?! You wanna go back to that?!

I'm putting you on speaker.

EDUARDO hits a button on his cell and tosses it down. We'll.

keep hearing MARK's•voice as EDUARDO runs out into the

hallway, grabs a fire extinguisher from its wall bracket,

comes back in and sprays out the fire.

That was the act'of a child, not a

businessman. And it certainly wasn't the

act of a friend, You know how embarrassed

I was when I tried to cash a check? And I

was with a girl, Wardo. It happened in

front of a girl. I'm not going back to

that life,

(SHOUTING)

Yeah!

Okay, maybe you were angry, maybe you

were frustrated. I'm ready to let, uh, to

let bygones be bygones because I've got

some good news.

EDUARDO--with the fire now out--picks up the phone.

I'm sorry. It.maybe was angry and it was

childish. I needed to get your attention.

].41.

I said I've got some good news.

What is it?

Peter Thiel's just made an angel

investment of a half a million dollars..

(PAUSE)

What?

A half a million dollars and he's setting

us up in an office. They want to re-

incorporate the company, they want to

meet you and they need your signature on

some documents so get your ass on the

next flight back to San Francisco. I need

my CFO,

(BEAT--SMILES)

I'm on my way.

EDUARDO clicks the phone shut.

You're going back there?

Yes. Also I'm breaking up with you.

CUT TO:

A glass conference room in the corner of a glass bullpen on a

high floor of a high rise.

Cartons are being unpacked, computers are everywhere along

with bags of potato chips and boxes of cereal.

In the conference room, EDUARDO is sitting with three LAWYERS

at a round, glass table and documents have been put out in

front of him.
