The Social Network (2010) - Cease and Desist Scene (3/10) | Movieclips

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mark (Jesse Eisenberg) and Eduardo (Andrew Garfield) argue about a cease and desist letter Mark received from the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer). Then, Mark and the twins argue over the rights to Facebook.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven) teams with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) to explore the meaning of success in the early 21st century from the perspectives of the technological innovators who revolutionized the way we all communicate. The year was 2003. As prohibitively expensive technology became affordable to the masses and the Internet made it easy to stay in touch with people who were halfway across the world, Harvard undergrad and computer programming wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) launched a website with the potential to alter the very fabric of our society. At the time, Zuckerberg was just six years away from making his first million. But his hearty payday would come at a high price, because despite all of Zuckerberg's wealth and success, his personal life began to suffer as he became mired in legal disputes, and discovered that many of the 500 million people he had friended during his rise to the top were eager to see him fall. Chief among that growing list of detractors was Zuckerberg's former college friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), whose generous financial contributions to Facebook served as the seed that helped the company to sprout. And some might argue that Zuckerberg's bold venture wouldn't have evolved into the cultural juggernaut that it ultimately became had Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) not spread the word about Facebook to the venture capitalists from Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence) engage Zuckerberg in a fierce courtroom battle for ownership of Facebook that left many suspecting the young entrepreneur might have let his greed eclipse his better judgment. The Social Network was based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich.

The zuck we wanted: "Did I adequately answer your condescending question?"
The zuck we got: "senator, we ran ads"

[Mike-eobw]

Good grief the dialogue in this movie is fantastic

[cozyapustaja]

I don’t know how anyone could make a movie about people suing each other over a website, but goddamn they did it

[EvanMonroe]

"Did I adequately answer your condescending question." Aaron Sorkin is my favorite screenwriter of all time.

[alextl]

I dont think the real Zuckeberg has ever been this badass/cocky, on his whole life.

[OogleyOogleyBoogley]

Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network: “Did I adequately answer your condescending question?”

Mark Zuckerberg in real life: “Uh... well... I... uh, uh... I don’t think it... uh... thanks, y-you too.”

[p.c]

The screenplay, the script, the acting, the soundtrack...this movie is a cinematic masterpiece and is so underrated? Why didn't it win an Oscar?

[simonedwards]

Why does no one seem to understand what a genius of an actor this guy is?

[AlecDouglas]

"Look, a guy who builds a nice chair doesn't owe money to everyone who ever has built a chair!"

Such a great line

[onelifetolive]

It's not just the dialogue its the delivery. pure fire

[bdaug]

15 seconds of dialogue from 0:22 to 0:37 shows subtle hints of how Zuckerberg was already seeing himself as a solo act as opposed to in a partnership with Saverin. ("It was addressed to ME", "Did WE what?", "No it says I could face legal action"). Aaron Soarkin is a genius at scriptwriting.

[pod]

In a couple months this movie is gonna be 10 years old.

[MNA]

Man, the dialogue, the acting and the background score.. just amazing. A simple yet breathtaking movie.

[tkhhpuy]

if Jesse Eisenberg could give this type of performance when he is lex luthor, i think more people would be more on board with him as lex luthor

[ataxan]

- Alfred, I don't deserve you.
- No, Sir, you don't.

[mnitkowski]

Iconic monologue by Jesse Eisenberg. Probably one of my favorite actors.

[bobstacks]

Wow.. Garfield is an amazing actor. And i think everyone needs a friend like Eduardo

[JackOfSomeTrades]

2:34 is my favorite bit. Compared to Tyler and Divya's annoyed expressions at how Mark downplays their legal actions, Cameron has a horrified expression on his face, one with a mix of betrayal.

[lukereviewscriterion]

This movie is the very definition of great writing.

[tovmusic]

For some reason, I always love the shot at 0:27 when Eduardo harshly pulls the paper away from Mark
