20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Social Network

4. Mark Uses Erica's Roast Against The Winklevoss Twins

Sony Pictures Releasing

In the film's unforgettable opening scene, Mark tells his soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend Erica (Rooney Mara) that she should be more supportive of his attempts to get into the prestigious Phoenix Club, because if he makes it, he'll be taking her to events which will allow her to meet people in high society.

Erica fires back, "You would do that for me?", a quip which Mark doesn't appear to appreciate as sarcastic, at least not until later on in the movie.

About 20 minutes later, the Winklevoss twins invite Mark to help them make the Harvard Connection, suggesting it might aid rehabilitating his image on campus.

Mark then takes the opportunity to re-use the roast on them, but ever the business-minded types, they barely register it at all.
