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.




Is this a joke?


Yeah. It’s a slightly modified transcript of a conversation from the movie Training Day.


It's the transcripts they'll recite during the canonization of St. Acton, patron saint of "After I get Mine".


Lol at the flak being hurled at this guy like we wouldn't all do exactly the same thing, were we in his position.


Not true, I would have stuck it out for another year for the extra $850 million.


I mean, that's a lot of zeroes. I was going to say commas but that doesn't really reflect the magnitude right :P


And then used it to build a tech antitrust Super PAC!


I meant the snipes about having sold to Facebook in the first place.


hahaha that was great
