The fourth boat is being crewed by CAMERON and TYLER

WINKLEVOSS----identical twins who stepped out of an ad for

Abercrombie and Fitch.

They know that the others aren't in their class and even

though they're highly competitive athletes, they don't like

showing anyone up, least of all their teammates.

CAMERON:

Is there anyway to make this a fair

fight?

TYLER:

We could jump out and swim.

CAMERON:

I think we'd have to jump out and drown.

TYLER:

I'm not willing to do that.

CAMERON:

What are we at three-quarter power? Let's

drop down to a half.

TYLER:

Or you could row forward and I could row

backward.

CAMERON:

I'd kick your ass.

TYLER:

We're genetically identical, so biology

and mathematics says we'd stay in one

place not allowing for the current or the

wind.

CAMERON:

Just row the boat.

26,

And the WINI{LEVOSS twins kick into full gear and open up an

even wider lead as we.

CUT. TO:

INT. DINING HALL - MORNING

Two stacks of The Crimson, Harvard's student newspaper, get

dropped on the floor as TYLER and CAMERON walk by--their trays

loaded with mountains of eggs and pancakes and carbs.

Everyone knows and loves them in this 200 year old dining hall

and they wave and shout to a few people and whisper to a

couple of very pretty girls before taking a seat next to DIVYA

NARENDRA, a nice looking Indian student whose face is in a

copy of the Crimson.

CAMERON:

What's up?

DIVYA:

You guys hear about this?

CAMERON:

What?

DIVYA:

Two nights ago a sophomore at Kirkland

crashed the computers.

CAMERON:

Which computers?

DIVYA:

All of them. Be crashed the whole system.

TYLER picks up a copy-of the Crimson and begins reading while

his brother and DIVYA keep talking.

CAMERON:

How?

DIVYA:

He set up a website where you vote on the

hotness of female Harvard undergrads.

What were we doing that none of us heard

about this?

CAMERON:

I don't know. Rowing, going to class,

studying? How much activity was there on

this thing that he crashed the--

TYLER:

(READING)

22,000 votes. There were 22,000 hits,

(MORE)

27.

TYLER (CONT'D)

Cam, this guy hacked into the facebooks

of seven houses in two hours. He set up

the whole site in one night while he was

drunk.

CAMERON:

22,000 hits?

TYLER:

Yeah.

CAMERON:

How do you know he was du- - - _

TYLER:

He was blogging simultaneously. Divya?

DIVYA:

I'm way ahead of you.

TYLER:

This is our guy.

CUT TO:

INT. SECOND DEPOSITION ROOM - DAY

It's MARX and his LAWYERS again but this time on the other

side of the table are TYLER and CAMERON, DLVYA and the.i.r

lawyer, GAGE, whose family had first-class seats on the

Mayflower.

we' .l.]. be back and forth between the two deposition rooms a

lot,

CAMERON:

(for the record)

Cameron Winklevoss. W-I-N-K-L-E-VWO-S-S.

Cameron's spelled the usual way.

TYLER:

(for the record)

Tyler. Winklevoss. Tyler's spelled the

usual way and my last name is the same as

my brother's.

CUT TO:

INT. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ROOM - DAY

MARK stands before a panel of ADMINISTRATORS as well as COX,

the systems manager who was woken up in the opening sequence.

ADMINISTRATOR:

Mr. Zuckerberg, this is an Administrative

Board hearing.

(MORE)

28,

ADMINISTRATOR (CONT'D)

You're being accused of intentionally

breaching security, violating copyrights

and violating individual privacy by

creating the website, WWW .FACEMASH.COM.

You're also charged with being in

violation of the university's policy on

distribution of digitized images. Before

we begin with our questioning you're

allowed to make a statement. Would you

like to do so?

MARK:

(BEAT)

Uh...I've, you know, I've apologized in

the Crimson to the ABHW, to Fuerza Latina

and to any women at Harvard who might

have been insulted as I take it they were

by the things that have been said tome

in the last week. As for any charges

stemming from the breach of security, I

believe I deserve some sort of

recognition from this Ad Board.

ADMINISTRATOR:

(PAUSE)

I'm sorry?

MARK:

Yes.

ADMINISTRATOR:

I don't understand.

MARK:

Which part?

ADMINISTRATOR:

You believe you deserve recognition?

MARK:

I pointed-out some pretty gaping holes in

your system.

COX:

Excuse me, may I?

ADMINISTRATOR:

Yes.

COX:

Mr. Zuckerberg, I'm in charge of security

for all computers on the Harvard system.

I can assure you of its sophistication

and in fact it was that level of

sophistication that led us to you in less

four hours.
