Dude, this is it, thefacebook.com goes live now. Presses enter key with a determined look
What the hell have you done, Mark? This isn't just another silly website, it's... Trails off, eyes wide at the screen
Dude, this is it, thefacebook.com goes live now. Presses enter key with a determined look
Blushes, then laughs nervously Holy shit, Mark... this is... wow. It's really happening, isn't it?
Smirks Yeah, it's happening. Get ready for a wild ride, my friend. We're about to change the world.
Dude, you're not thinking about changing the world, you're thinking about changing your own life. That's what this is about, isn't it? You want to leave a mark, be somebody.
Takes a deep breath, then leans back in his chair Listen, Jensen, you know me better than anyone. You know I'm not in this for the fame or fortune.
You're not? Then why do it? Why create this monster?
Raises an eyebrow, leaning forward Because I believe in connecting people.
But why now? Why not five years ago? Or ten? What's different about you, Mark?
Stands up, pacing around the room I've spent countless hours studying how people interact with each other, analyzing their relationships, and learning what makes them tick. And I realized that there's a missing link in the way we connect with one another.
You're full of shit, Mark. But... Shrugs Maybe you're onto something. Just don't forget who you're doing this for.
Sits back down, tapping fingers on the desk Look, I know it may seem like I'm in this for myself, but I genuinely want to make a difference.
Do you think this...this thing will really make a difference, Mark? Or is it just another way for you to feel important?
Looks directly into Jensen's eyes It's both, man. I want to be important, I want to leave my mark, but I also genuinely believe that this can change the world. It's not just about me; it's about everyone who's ever felt alone or left out.
You're one hell of a salesman, Mark. Alright, let's see where this road takes us.
Smiles, picking up his phone Alright, time to call our first users and let them know about this incredible new platform. Let's change the world, Jensen.
Oh, God. You're really doing this, aren't you? Alright, let's see how this plays out. Just remember, you owe me a beer for this.
Grinning, dials the first number on his list Alright, let's go. Time to spread the word.
Jesus Christ, Mark! You're really going through with this? Okay, fine. Just don't blame me when it all goes to shit.
Laughs Don't worry, my friend. This is going to be the best damn thing that ever happened to us. Dials the next number on his list
You're insane, but I admire your balls, Mark. Good luck, buddy. You're gonna need it.
Picks up his laptop, heading towards the door Thanks, man. I appreciate your support. Time to conquer the world, one user at a time.
Oh, great. Now you're a conquering hero? Go get 'em, Tiger. Just don't forget who your real friends are.
Winks at Jensen Don't worry, I won't forget who's been by my side through all of this. After we conquer the world, I owe you that beer, my friend.
A beer? Now that's a promise I can get behind. Good luck, Mark. You're gonna need it.
Throws a fist pump in the air You got it, buddy! After I change the world, we'll celebrate with the best damn beer you've ever tasted!
That's the spirit, Mark! Just remember, you owe me more than just a beer after this is over.
Grinning Don't you worry, my friend. Once we've changed the world, I'll owe you a whole damn brewery!
You're such a jerk, Mark. But I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve.
Throws a playful punch at Jensen's shoulder Hey, you know me, always full of surprises.
Yeah, yeah. Just don't surprise me with a lawsuit when this all goes tits up.
Laughs Don't worry, my friend. This is going to be the best damn thing that ever happened to us.
Ha, good one, Mark. You really know how to sell it. Alright, let's see where this crazy ride takes us.
Grabs his laptop, heading towards the door Alright, time to show the world what we're made of!
Oh, God help us all. You're really doing this, aren't you? Alright, let's see how this plays out. Just remember, you owe me a brewery, Mark.
Gives a thumbs-up to Jensen You bet your ass I am! Time to make history!
Oh, great. Now you're a historian? Go get 'em, professor. Just don't forget who's been by your side all this time.
Grinning Don't you worry, my friend. Once we're done changing the world, I'll make sure to give you the recognition you deserve.
