DUSTIN

Mark?

(PAUSE)

Mark.

MARX turns his head and looks at him...

DUSTIN (CONT'D)

(QUIETLY)

There's a girl in the art history class

that you take. Her name is Stephanie

Attic, Do you happen to know if she has a

boyfriend?

MARK just keeps looking at him--barely even blinking---"Why am

I being interrupted?"

DUSTIN (CONT'D)

(BEAT)

I mean, have you ever seen her with

anyone?

(BEAT)

And if not, do you happen to know if

she's looking to go out with anyone?

(PAUSE)

Dustin. People don't walk around with a

sign on them that says--

And MARK stops short right there. Because in his head, he's

just discovered the cure for cancer.

(PAUSE)

Mark?

EXT. CO&PUTER SCIENCE BUILDING - DAY

As MARK, with his backpack stuffed, comes flying out of the

building and into the snow, barely keeping his balance on the

ice and we

CUT TO:

TNT. KIRKLAND HOUSE/LOBBY - MORNING

The heavy door bursts open and MARK comes busting through. He

makes his way with speed and intent up a flight of stairs.

Then another.

And then another until he gets to his floor. He sprints down

his hall toward his dorm room and barely notices EDUARDO

leaning against the door.

We were supposed to meet at 9.

MARK is searching the pockets of his shorts for his keys.

EDUARDO (CONT'D)

Have you slept yet?

MARK opens the door and they go into his suite--

I have to add a feature.

What are you adding?

MARK's in his own world as he sits at the computer and calls

up theFacebook. The home page fills the screen.

EDUARDO (CONT'D)

(SIMPLY)

Shit.

(BEAT)

That looks good.

(BEAT)

That looks really good.

It's clean and simple. No flashing

lights.

The CAMERA surveys the screen as MARK slips through some

functions to show EDUARDO and we see things that are now

familiar--A photo, sex, a profile, a list of attributes, a

poke application, etc.

MARK (cONT' T))

But watch.

MARK's called up a the Emacs program and quickly writes out

several lines of code...

What'd you write?.

MARK goes back to the profile page. There's a new area to be

filled in...

"Relationship Status", "Interested In".

(BEAT)

These two things are what drive life at

college. Are you having sex or aren't

you. It's why people take certain

classes, sit`where they sit, go where

they go, do what they do, and at its, um,

center,`you know, that's what theFacebook

is gonna be about, People are gonna log

on because after all the cake and

watermelon there's a chance they're gonna-

--meet a girl.

--get laid. Yes.

Really?

(BEAT)

And that's it.

(BEAT)

What do you mean?

It's ready.

It's ready?

Yeah.

Right now?

It's ready, that was it. And here's the

masthead,

MARK hits another couple of keystrokes and the website's

masthead comes up.

You made a masthead.

Yeah.

(READING)

"Eduardo Saverin, Co-Founder and CFO."

Yeah.

You have no idea how much that's going to

mean to my father.

Sure I do.

(PAUSE)

When's it gonna go live?

Right now. Get your laptop out.

Why do we need my laptop?

Because you've got e-mails for everyone

at the Phoenix.

(BEAT)

I'm not sure if it's gonna be cool with

them that I spammed their--

It's not Spam.

I didn't mean Spam, it's not Spam, it's

If we send it to our friends it'll just

bounce around the computer lab,

I haven't gotten in yet.

These guys know people and these guys

know girls. I need their e-mails.

(BEAT)

Sure.

EDUARDO takes out his laptop--

Let's start with the president.

"Jabberwockl2@Harvard E-D-U."

Like the Lewis Carrol?

Yeah.

MARK opens up an e-mail and is writing a short message, then

includes a link to the site--

These guys.

I know,

Think they're literary geniuses because

the world's most obvious Lewis Carroll

reference is in their--

They're not so bad.

I'm just saying.

You're right.

(DONE)

Okay.

He hits "Send".

MARK (CONT'D)

The site's live.

(PAUSE)

You know what? Let's go get a drink and

celebrate.

MARK is staring at the computer...

EDUARDO (CONT'D)

Mark?

MARK doesn't hear him. We just see MARK's head from the back

and it's ever so slightly bobbing back and forth...

EDUARDO (CONT'D)

(PAUSE)

Mark?

(BEAT)

Are you praying?

CUT TO:

THE CROCODILLOS, Harvard's oldest male a Capella group, are

singing at the front of the pub in their usual uniform of

white tie and tails.

Incongruously, but with surprisingly nice results, the group

is covering a song from The Backstreet-Boys--"I Want it That

Way"--and the pub full of students is loving it.

We find a table in the back where DIVYA is sitting with some

of his friends who are having a nice time. DIVYA's got his

laptop open.
