The Social Network Quote
Gage : Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg : [ stares out the window ] No.
Gage : Do you think I deserve it?
Mark Zuckerberg : [ looks at Gage ] What?
Gage : Do you think I deserve your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg : I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don't want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.
Gage : Okay - no. You don't think I deserve your attention.
Mark Zuckerberg : I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing. [ pauses ]
Mark Zuckerberg : Did I adequately answer your condescending question?
Mark Zuckerberg : [ stares out the window ] No.
