[ first lines ]
Mark Zuckerberg : Did you know there are more people with genius IQs living in China than there are people of any kind living in the United States?
Erica Albright : That can't possibly be true.
Mark Zuckerberg : It is.
Erica Albright : What would account for that?
Mark Zuckerberg : Well first, an awful lot of people live in China. But, here's my question: how do you distinguish yourself in a population of people who all got 1600 on their SATs?
Erica Albright : I didn't know they take SATs in China.
Mark Zuckerberg : They don't. I wasn't talking about China anymore, I was talking about me.

Movie: The Social Network
Erica Albright : You know, from a woman's perspective, sometimes not singing in an a cappella group is a good thing.
Mark Zuckerberg : This is serious.
Erica Albright : On the other hand, I do like guys who row crew.
Mark Zuckerberg : Well, I can't do that.
Erica Albright : I was kidding!
Mark Zuckerberg : Yes, I got nothing wrong on the test.
Erica Albright : Have you ever tried?
Mark Zuckerberg : I'm trying right now.
Erica Albright : To row crew?
Mark Zuckerberg : To get into a Final Club. To row crew? No, are you like, whatever, delusional?
Erica Albright : Maybe, it's just sometimes you say two things at once, I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to be aiming at.
Mark Zuckerberg : But you've seen guys who row crew right?
Erica Albright : [ thinking for a moment ] No.
Mark Zuckerberg : Okay, well, they're bigger than me. They're world class athletes. And a second ago you said that you like guys who row crew so I assumed you had met one.

Movie: The Social Network
Erica Albright : Is it true that they send a bus around to pick up girls who want to party with the next Fed chairman?
Mark Zuckerberg : So you can see why it's so important to get in.
Erica Albright : Okay, well, which is the easiest to get into?
Mark Zuckerberg : [ pauses, taken aback ] Why would you ask me that?
Erica Albright : I was just asking.
Mark Zuckerberg : None of them. That's the point. My friend Eduardo made $300,000 betting oil futures one summer, and Eduardo won't come close to getting in. The ability to make money doesn't impress anybody around here.

Movie: The Social Network
Erica Albright : Well, why don't you just concentrate on being the best you you can be.
Mark Zuckerberg : Did you really just say that?
Erica Albright : I was kidding. Although just because something's trite doesn't make it any less true.
Mark Zuckerberg : I want to try to be straightforward with you and tell you I think you might want to be a little more supportive. If I get in I will be taking you to the events, and the gatherings, and you'll be meeting a lot of people you wouldn't normally get to meet.
Erica Albright : [ Erica stares at Mark for a moment, then smiles ] You would do that for me?
Mark Zuckerberg : [ Shrugs ] We're dating.
Erica Albright : Okay. Well I want to be straightforward with you and let you know that we're not anymore.
Mark Zuckerberg : What do you mean?
Erica Albright : We're not dating anymore, I'm sorry.
Mark Zuckerberg : Is this a joke?
Erica Albright : No, it's not.
Mark Zuckerberg : You're breaking up with me?
Erica Albright : You're going to introduce me to people I wouldn't normally have the chance to to meet? What the f... what is that supposed to mean?
Mark Zuckerberg : Wait. Settle down...
Erica Albright : What is it supposed to mean?
Mark Zuckerberg : Erica, the reason we're able to sit here and drink right now is because you used to sleep with the door guy.
Erica Albright : The door guy? His name is Bobby. I have not slept with the door guy. The door guy is a friend of mine, and he is a perfectly good class of people. And what part of Long Island are you from, Wimbledon?

Movie: The Social Network
Erica Albright : I'm going back to my dorm.
Mark Zuckerberg : Wait, wait! Is this real?

Mark Zuckerberg : I'm sorry, I mean it.
Erica Albright : I appreciate that, but I have to go study.
Mark Zuckerberg : Come on, you don't have to study, you don't have to study, let's just talk.
Erica Albright : I can't.
Mark Zuckerberg : Why?
Erica Albright : Because it is exhausting! Dating you is like dating a StairMaster!
Mark Zuckerberg : All I meant is that you're not likely to... currently. I wasn't making a comment on your appearance, I was saying that you go to BU. I was stating a fact, that's all. And if it seemed rude, than of course I apologize.
Erica Albright : I have to go study.
Mark Zuckerberg : You don't have to study.
Erica Albright : [ Exasperated and angry ] Why do you keep saying I don't have to study?
Mark Zuckerberg : Because you go to BU!
Erica Albright : [ Erica stares at him, furious ]
Mark Zuckerberg : Do you want to get some food?

Eduardo Saverin : Yes.
Mark Zuckerberg : Hang on. [ Mark sarcastically adds up the 2 amounts on his notepad ]
Mark Zuckerberg : I'm just checking your math on that. Yes, I got the same thing.

Movie: The Social Network
Sean Parker : And that's where you're headed, a billion dollar evaluation. Unless you take bad advice, in which case you may as well have come up with a chain of very successful yogurt shops. When you go fishing you can catch a lot of fish, or you can catch a big fish. You ever walk into a guy's den and see a picture of him standing next to fourteen trout?
Christy : No, he's holding a three-thousand-pound marlin.
Sean Parker : Yup!
Mark Zuckerberg : That's a good analogy.
Eduardo Saverin : Okay, but we all know that marlins don't really weigh three-thousand pounds, right?
Christy : Have you seen the big ones up close?
Eduardo Saverin : No I haven't, but I really don't think the guy's holding a marlin the size of a Range Rover. That would be a really big fish and a very strong guy.
Christy : You think we might be getting away from the point?

Movie: The Social Network
Mark Zuckerberg : [ impressed with the meeting with Sean Parker ] Shit!
Eduardo Saverin : [ a moment later, exasperated ] Yeah.

Movie: The Social Network
[ Talking on the phone ]
Larry Summers : Well, that's their own stupidity, I should have been there. Well, darkness is the absence of light, and the stupidity in that instance was the absence of me... [ Looking up to see the twins in his office ]
Larry Summers : Kathrine, I've got students in my office now. Students. Undergrads. I don't know, from the looks of it, they want to sell me a Brooks Brothers franchise.
Larry Summers : [ hangs up ]
Larry Summers : Good morning.
Cameron Winklevoss : Good morning sir. I'm Cameron Winklevoss, and this is my brother Tyler.
Larry Summers : And you're here because... either of you can answer.
Cameron Winklevoss : Oh, I'm sorry sir, I thought you were reading the letter.
Larry Summers : I've read the letter.
Cameron Winklevoss : Well, we came up with an idea for a website called HarvardConnection, and we've since changed the name to ConnectU - and Mark Zuckerberg stole that idea...
Larry Summers : I understand. And I'm asking what you want me to do about it.
Cameron Winklevoss : Well, sir, in the Harvard student handbook, which is distributed to each freshmen, under the heading "Standards of Conduct in the Harvard Community," it says that the college expects all students to be honest and forthcoming in their dealings with members in this community. Students are required to respect public and private ownership, and instances of theft, misappropriation...
Larry Summers : [ interrupting ] Anne?
Anne : Yes, sir?
Larry Summers : Punch me in the face. [ turning back to Cameron ]
Larry Summers : Go ahead.
Cameron Winklevoss : [ a little shaken ] ... or unauthorized use will result in disciplinary act

Movie: The Social Network
Tyler Winklevoss : Sir, it's against university rules to steal from another student, plain and simple.
Larry Summers : You've spoken to your house master?
Cameron Winklevoss : Yes, sir. And the house master made a recommendation to the Ad Board, but the Ad Board won't see us.
Larry Summers : Have you tried dealing with the other student directly?
Cameron Winklevoss : Mr. Zuckerberg hasn't been responding to any of our emails or phone calls for the last two weeks. He doesn't answer when we knock on his door at Kirkland and the closest I've come to dealing with him face-to-face is when I saw him on the quad and chased him through Harvard Square.
Larry Summers : You chased him?
Cameron Winklevoss : [ Stuttering a little ] I-I-I saw him and I know he saw me. I went after him and then he disappeared.
Larry Summers : I don't see this as a university issue.
Tyler Winklevoss : Of course this is a university issue. There's a code of ethics and an honor code and he violated them both
Larry Summers : You enter into a code of ethics with the university, not with each other.
Tyler Winklevoss : I'm sorry, president Summers, but what you just said makes no sense to me at all.
Larry Summers : [ Sarcastically ] I'm devastated by that.

Movie: The Social Network
Tyler Winklevoss : This isn't petty larceny. This idea is potentially worth millions of dollars.
Larry Summers : Millions!
Cameron Winklevoss : Yes.
Larry Summers : You might just be letting your imaginations run away with you.
Tyler Winklevoss : Sir, I honestly don't think you're in any position to make that call.
Larry Summers : I was the U.S. Treasury Secretary. I'm in some position to make that call.
Tyler Winklevoss : Letting our imaginations run away with us is exactly what we were told to do in your freshmen address.
Larry Summers : Then I would suggest that you let your imaginations run away with you on a new project.
Cameron Winklevoss : You would?
Larry Summers : Yes. Everyone at Harvard's inventing something. Harvard undergraduates believe that inventing a job is better than finding a job. So, I'll suggest again that the two of you come up with a new new project.
Cameron Winklevoss : I'm sorry, sir, but that's not the point.
Larry Summers : Please, arrive at the point.
Tyler Winklevoss : You don't have to be an intellectual property expert to understand the difference between right and wrong.
Larry Summers : And you're saying that I don't?
Cameron Winklevoss : Of course I'm not saying that, sir.
Tyler Winklevoss : I'm saying that.
Larry Summers : Really?
