What's really going on
The scene is a betrayal staged as a formality. Eduardo arrives expecting to be included and is instead handed the paperwork that removes him, and the cruelty is in the calm: to him it feels like a trap, to Mark it is just business. The line, "You're not a part of Facebook," is the film's coldest sentence, because it answers a question about friendship with a fact about equity. Everything before it — the party e-mail, the diluted shares, the repeated questions in the deposition — is there to make that one sentence land. What follows is noise and hurt, but the decision was already made long before the shouting.
Theme
発音のポイント
- An ambush — liaison
- wired in — liaison
- Call security — liaison
- lawyer up — liaison
You're not a part of Facebook.The film's coldest line: it answers a question about friendship with a statement about ownership, and does not pretend otherwise.
It won't be like you're not a part of Facebook.A correction that makes the blow worse: not 'as if', but actually out, said flatly as a matter of fact.
You think we'd let you parade around in your ridiculous suits, pretending you were running this company?A contemptuous put-down that reduces years of work to a costume and a performance.
And I'll bet what you hated the most is that they identified me as a co-founder of Facebook.The retort that turns the fight around: his real grievance is credit and recognition, not just money.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Eduardo fly to California?
He thinks he is coming for a business meeting and a millionth-member party. Instead the trip is arranged so that he can be shown the new contracts and pushed out.
What does "lawyer up" mean here?
It means to get a lawyer and prepare for a legal fight. Eduardo says it as a threat after being removed, signaling that the dispute is going to court.
Why is Eduardo so angry about the shares?
Because the dilution leaves him with a tiny stake and no real role, even though he was a co-founder and put up the early money. He sees it as a setup rather than a normal business step.
Who actually signed the papers that diluted Eduardo?
He did, using a formula he had approved earlier without understanding how far it could be pushed. Mark's point is that the signature is his, which is exactly what makes the betrayal so clean.
