Erica Albright (Rooney Mara): &quot;You are going to go through life thinking that girls don&#039;t like you because you&#039;re a nerd. And I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that that won&#039;t be true. It&#039;ll be because you&#039;re an asshole.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mark Zuckerberg: &quot;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&#039;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. Did I adequately answer your condescending question?<br /> <br /> &quot;You&#039;re not the same as you were before, You were much more...muchier...you&#039;ve lost your muchness.&quot;<br /> I feel like I just found out my favorite love song was written about a sandwich.
