MARK

(snapping his fingers)

Andrew.

Not now.

Good boy.

MARK gets to the door and opens it.

He's stunned to see SEAN PARKER standing there with his

girlfriend, SHARON.

They all look at each other for a moment---

Mark?

Sean?

Do you live here?

Yeah. Do you?

We were right across the street, we saw

the chimney come--

Yeah.

Is anybody hurt?

No. You live across the street.

I'm Sharon.

This is my girlfriend, Sharon. She lives

across the street and I was helping her

move out when we saw the chimney--

Yeah, we had a zip line to the pool.

You came to California.

Yeah.

You made the right choice.

CUT TO:

SEA,'s looking around the place. DUSTIN and the INTERNS are

standing off to the side, happy to be in the presenbe of Sean

Parker. ANDREW'S still locked into his computer. MARK's off in

the kitchen.

Here you go.

A beer comes flying out of the kitchen and SEAN catches it.

MARK (OS) (CONT'D)

Sharon.

Another beer comes flying out which SHARON had no idea was

coming and so it smashes into the fireplace.

Oh God. I'm so sorry.

And a brick comes down the chimney and crashes on top of the

broken glass from the beer bottle.

You know, ironically, we're paying an

extra 50 bucks a month 'cause it has a

working fireplace.

This house is great. The team is great.

It's exactly what it should be.

(TO ANDREW)

I'm Sean Parker.

MARK comes out of the kitchen--

He's wired in.

That's what I'm talkin' about. Where's

Eduardo?

He's got an internship in New York.

(BEAT)

Eduardo didn't come out?

CUT TO:

An ultra-hip San Prancisco nightclub where a line of well-

dressed young people stretches from the clipboard holding

BOUNCER down the block. The BOUNCER motions to three SEXY

GIRLS who are let in through the velvet rope. If this reminds

us of the scene at the final club party at the beginning of

this story than that's fine.

The three SEXY GIRLS take us into

It's a hundred-year old theater that's been converted into a

21st Century hot spot for Silicon Valley's rock stars. The

lower level is a giant dance floor packed"with sweating 20-

somethings bouncing to pounding house music. There are raised

blocks where scantily dressed professional. dancers perform non-

stop. A huge lighting grid hangs from the ceiling shooting

colored lights and lasers everywhere. Also hanging from the

ceiling are two trapeze bars with two performers swinging and

contorting.

A WAITRESS holding a tray of colored drinks high over her head

takes us through the crowd to a spiral staircase that's being

guarded by two more BOUNCERS with clipboards. The staircase

leads up to the 2nd level which is all VIP tables that look

out over the dance floor. Each VIP area has a couple of

couches and a table covered in bottles of vodka, tequila, rum,

mixers, ice, glasses and a private waitress who's happy to

bend over and pour a drink for you,

And that's where we catch up with MARK and SEAN. Sitting next

to SEAN is a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN and there's another standing

behind him and leaning against the couch.

MARK and SEAN have to speak the music.

I still can't believe I rented a house

across the street from you.

That's not my house. It was Sharon's. I

was crashing there for a little. bit while

I'm taking care of some things. But she's

done for the summer so she's back at her

parents' place and I'm homeless.

Yeah?

(BEAT)

You can crash at our. place for a few days

if you want.

That's sol..id man, thanks,

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN #1

I'm going to the ladies' room;

You got it.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN #2

I'll go with you.

The two girls exit--

Your date looks so familiar to me,

She looks familiar to a lot of people.

What do you mean?

].21.

Look at any Victoria's Secret catalogue

from the last six months.

(PAUSE)

You're kidding.

No man. I'll tell you something, you know

how I founded Napster?

I know everything there is to know about

you Sean.

Fuck Wikipedia, Mark, no you don't.

(BEAT)

I was going out with this girl in high

school. And it was great. I thought it

was great, but the whole time--almost the

.whole time we were together., like five

months--she was giving blow. jobs to the

co-captain of the lacrosse team. And I

found out and I was willing to forgive

her but she told me she loved him. So I

had this dream that I would make a

billion dollar company.. Not a million

dollar company--any hack can do that---a

billion dollar company. And I would have

business cards printed up that said, "I'm

CEO...Bitch. "

(BEAT)

It's our time. We run the universe. Yeah,

she's a Victoria's Secret model. I want

to know where the fuck Eduardo is.

He has an internship.

An internship?

In New York.

The company's here. A billion dollar

company is here. And what confuses me is

that in New York, Eduardo introduced

himself as the business head of Facebook.

I've been at the front of two of the

biggest things in the history of the

internet and I can tell you that nothing,

nothing is more important to a start-up

than the energy and ambition of its

founders.

(MORE)

You have to live and breathe the project

every minute of every day and-night. Do

you live and breathe Facebook?

Yes.

I know you do. I know those guys back at

the house do. The guy's eyes did not

blink when a beer bottle smashed into a

fireplace 10 feet from his work, station.

So I'll ask again--where's Eduar

(PAUSE)

It'd be great if you stayed at the house

with us.

I think I should.

The girls come back--

WOMAN #1

You guys figure out a new way to get porn

on your computer?

WOMAN #2

You know most of it's bad but some of

it's pretty good.

MARK and SEAN aren't paying attention...

What's your goal for the summer?

We want: to. be in a hundred schools.

-SEAN

okay. Okay good. I'll tell you what.

Gesture of good faith. While you're

getting yourself into a hundred schools,

I'm gonna put you on two continents.

(BEAT)

What?

Let's line up some shots.

(to the WAITRESS)

You can take away the Cuervo, we'll have

Don Julio 1942.

Absolutely, Mr. Parker.

The WAITRESS goes off--

Mark?

Yeah.

SEAN '

I never told her my name.

CUT TO:

we're looking at a stone bridge crossing a perfectly straight

stretch of water against the backdrop of the medieval town of

Henley, England--founded in 1179.

And after a moment of placid quiet--

---BOOSHI

Two razor thin skulls explode out from under the bridge for

the final, agonizing hundred-meter stretch of the ancient and

prestigious Henley Royal Regatta.

The two boats are neck and neck coming out of the bridge. The

port-side boat is being crewed by the two Dutch members of the

Ilollandia Roeiclub. The starboard boat is being crewed by a

pair of identical twins wearing tank tops bearing the "H" of

Harvard.

We HEAR the ROAR come up from the CROWD in the viewing

section. The crowd is dressed as if for opening day at Ascot

-- the women in flowing dresses and wide-brimmed hats, the men i n

blazers and brightly colored floral ties.

But the young men in the boats can barely hear the crowd. Just

their own breathing as they pull against the longest natural.

straight stretch of water in the world--a mile and a half

torture test against the best competition they've ever faced.

And they're neck and neck. CAMERON and TYLER can't shake the

Dutch.

The CROWD is going crazy in their own English way as none of

them can remember ever seeing two boats this close this late.

Mixed in with the British crowd is a small contingent waving

the flag of Holland and a slightly larger contingent of

Americans.
