Zuckerberg: Take the money.
Acton: I'm not taking it.
Z: Just take it.
A: No!
Z: Look, I don't give a fuck, but the boys'll feel better.
A: Fuck their feelings!
Z: [Brian], we're a team.
A: A team? You guys are fucking insane. I'll go back to the Valley, I'll [create messaging apps]. It can't be like this.
Z: It is. I'm sorry, but it is. It's ugly, but it's necessary.
A: I became a [developer] to put away dealers and criminals, not to be one.
Z: You sound just like me. I know what you're going through and feeling. You're scared.
A: I'm not.
Z: Yes, you are. Everyone goes through that the first time. I did. The sooner you match what's in your head...with what's in the real world...the better you'll feel.
Z: In this business...you gotta have dirt on you to be trusted. When all this is behind you, a whole other world will open up for you.
Z: I walk a higher path, son.
Z: I have the keys to all the doors.
