INT. NEW FACEBOOK OFFICES - NIGHT EDUARDO (V.O.) I went out to California and I went straight to the new offices. And it’s clear that we’re in the offices of a new, high-tech, very successful internet company. The Facebook logo in blue metallic letters on the wall, the maple desks, new computer monitors, carpeting, a wall covered in graffiti by an artist commissioned for the job and tons of young employees. EDUARDO (V.O.) I didn’t know whether to dress for the party or for the business meeting so I kind of dressed for both. We see that most of the employees, especially the women, are dressed to go to an after-work, late-night party. EDUARDO (V.O.) But it didn’t matter. GRETCHEN (V.O.) Why not? EDUARDO (V.O.) Because I wasn’t called out there for either one. CUT TO: INT. FIRST DEPOSITION ROOM - EVENING GRETCHEN What were you called out there for? 147. EDUARDO An ambush. CUT BACK TO: INT. NEW FACEBOOK OFFICES - NIGHT LAWYER Mr. Saverin, hey. EDUARDO turns to see the LAWYER he dealt with earlier standing by the door to a glass conference room. LAWYER (CONT’D) In here. Right over here. EDUARDO walks across the bullpen, where no one makes eye contact, and into-- INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - CONTINUOUS EDUARDO (V.O.) At first I thought he was joking, giving me more contracts to sign. But then I started reading. As EDUARDO reads, we rack focus to MARK, who’s sitting at a computer with his back to EDUARDO, focused on his work. And then we see SEAN step into the frame and lean against a desk a few yards away. And then back to EDUARDO, who’s almost shaking... EDUARDO Wait, what is this? LAWYER Well, as you know we had some new investors-- EDUARDO What is this? LAWYER If you’ll let me-- EDUARDO goes back out into-- INT. BULLPEN - CONTINUOUS EDUARDO Mark? MARK doesn’t look up from his computer-- 148. EDUARDO (CONT’D) Mark. MARK still doesn’t look up-- SEAN He’s wired in. EDUARDO (pause) I’m sorry? SEAN He’s wired in. EDUARDO Is he? SEAN Yes. EDUARDO picks up MARK’s laptop over his head and smashes it down on the desk, breaking it into pieces. EDUARDO How ‘bout now, are you still wired in? SEAN (to the girl at the desk he’s leaning against) Call security. Everyone in the office is frozen, silent and watching. EDUARDO You issued over 24-million new shares of stock. MARK You were told that if new investors came along-- EDUARDO How much were your shares diluted? How much were his?! CUT TO: INT. FIRST DEPOSITION ROOM - EVENING GRETCHEN What was Mr. Zuckerberg’s ownership share diluted down to? EDUARDO It wasn’t. 149. GRETCHEN What was Mr. Moskovitz’s ownership share diluted down to? EDUARDO It wasn’t. GRETCHEN What was Sean Parker’s ownership share diluted down to? EDUARDO It wasn’t. GRETCHEN What was Peter Thiel’s ownership share diluted down to? EDUARDO It wasn’t. GRETCHEN What was your ownership share diluted down to? EDUARDO (pause) Point-zero-three percent. CUT TO: INT. NEW FACEBOOK OFFICES - NIGHT MARK You signed the papers. EDUARDO You set me up. MARK You’re gonna blame me because you were the business head of the company and you made a bad business deal with your own company?! EDUARDO It’s gonna be like I’m not part of Facebook. SEAN It’s won’t be like you’re not part of Facebook, you’re not part of Facebook. EDUARDO My name’s on the masthead. 150. SEAN You might wanna check again. EDUARDO is momentarily frozen... EDUARDO This is because I froze the account? SEAN You think we were gonna let you parade around in your ridiculous suits pretending you were running this company? EDUARDO Sorry, my Prada’s at the cleaners along with my hoodie and my fuck-you flip-flops you pretentious douchebag. SEAN Security’s here. You’ll be leaving now. Two SECURITY GUARDS have come in-- EDUARDO I’m not signing those papers. SEAN We’ll get the signature. EDUARDO (turning to MARK) Tell me this isn’t about me getting into the Phoenix! (pause) EDUARDO (CONT’D) You did it. I always knew you did it. You planted the story about the chicken. SEAN (pause) What is he talking about? EDUARDO You had me accused-- SEAN Seriously, what the hell’s the chicken? EDUARDO And I’ll bet what you hated the most is that they identified me as a co-founder of Facebook--which I am! You better lawyerup, asshole, ‘cause I’m not comin’ back for my 30 percent, I’m comin’ back for everything! 151. SEAN (to SECURITY) Get him outa here. EDUARDO I’m going. SEAN Hang on. SEAN hands EDUARDO a folded check. SEAN (CONT’D) I almost forgot, there’s your $19,000. I wouldn’t cash it, though, I drew it on the account you froze. EDUARDO looks at SEAN...then suddenly and quickly cocks his fist back to punch him in the face. SEAN flinches as EDUARDO holds his punch and lets out a small laugh. EDUARDO I like standing next to you, Sean. It makes me look so tough. EDUARDO exits with the security escort.
