影片对白

Mark: I think I've come up with something.

Eduardo: Hang on. I gotta tell you something that you're not gonna believe.

Mark: What?

Eduardo: I got punched by the Phoenix¹.

Mark: Are you kidding?

Eduardo: No. I mean, it's just the first of a four-step process, but they slid the invitation under my door tonight. I go to my first punch party tomorrow.

Mark: So...You got punched by the Phoenix.

Eduardo: Yeah, but, you know, it was probably just a diversity thing. It was just a diversity thing. Just ride that horse until...What did you wanna talk to me about? Mark?

Mark: Yeah.

Eduardo: You said you'd come up with something.

Mark: Yeah, I think I've come up with something. Come outside and let's talk.

Eduardo: It's 20 degrees outside.

Mark: I can't stare at that loop of Niagara Falls, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Caribbean. People came to Facemash in a stampede, right?

Eduardo: Yeah.

Mark: But it wasn't because they saw pictures of hot girls. You can go anywhere on the Internet and see pictures of hot girls.

Eduardo: Yeah.

Mark: It was because they saw pictures of girls that they knew. People want to go on the Internet and check out their friends, so why not build a website that offers that? Friends, pictures, profiles, whatever you can visit. Browse² around. Maybe it's someone you just met at a party. But I'm not talking about a dating site. I'm talking about taking the entire social experience of college and putting it online.

Eduardo: I can't feel my legs.

Mark: I know. I'm totally psyched about this, too. But, Wardo?

Eduardo: Yeah?

***************************

(Reflash to the deposition³, in a lawsuit) Eduardo: "It would be exclusive⁴."

***************************

Mark: You would have to know the people on the site to get past your own page. Like getting punched.

Eduardo: Now, that's good.

Mark: Wardo, it's like a final club, except we're the president.

**************************

(At the deposition) Eduardo: I told him I thought it sounded great. It was a great idea. There was nothing to hack⁵. People were gonna provide their own pictures, their own information. And people had the ability to invite, or not invite, their friends to join. See, in a world where social structure was everything, that was the thing. 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 Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. They were programmers.

**************************

Mark: We're gonna need a little start-up cash to rent the servers and get it online.

***************************

(At the deposition) Eduardo: So that was why.

Eduardo’s lawyer: Did he offer terms?

Eduardo: Yes.

***************************

Mark: We'll split⁶ it 70/30. 70 for me, 30 for you for putting up the $1,000 and for handling everything on the business end. You're CFO.

***************************

(At the deposition) Eduardo’s lawyer: And you said?

Eduardo: I said, "Let's do it."
