* Marilyn, during the final scene explaining to Mark ''why'' he'll need to settle, when she asks him one very simple ArmorPiercingQuestion that was bound to come up in any potential trial, pointing out how quickly Mark will lose any sympathy from any jury waiting out there. Even describing herself as having "only twenty months" of experience, she's smart and savvy enough to know not only how the law works but how ''people'' work.
--> '''Marilyn''': I could get a jury to believe you planted that story about Eduardo and the chicken. Watch what else: "Why weren't you at Sean's sorority party that night?" \\
'''Mark''': You think I'm the one that called the police...?\\
'''Marilyn''': Doesn't matter. I asked a question, now everybody's thinking about it. [[CurbStompBattle You've lost your jury in the first 10 minutes.]]

** When Sean tries to bite back about Eduardo "running around in your ridiculous suits pretending you were running the company," Eduardo delivers this absolutely classic retort (courtesy of Creator/AndrewGarfield), and the only F-bomb in the entire film:

The quote from Erica might be iconic but it probably belongs in Tearjerker because of how hurtful it is


* Erica's final line to Mark in the opening scene, when she finally has enough of his condescending behavior and dumps him. One of the film's most iconic quotes:
-->'''Erica:''' You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because ''you're an asshole''.

* Eduardo's scene at the Facebook offices - from smashing the computer to almost punching Sean, who flinches in cowardice even when not actually hit. He's just found out that the business deal with Peter Thiel slashed his ownership share to 0.03% while all the other executives, including Mark and Sean, got to keep theirs, and he stages a ''siege'' on Mark.

* The scene in which Mark creates [=FaceMash=], and eventually crashes the entire Harvard network through sheer volume of traffic. The scene itself should also be considered a crowning moment for the filmmakers (and Trent Reznor) for making a scene featuring nothing but people looking at computer screens into one of the most tense, exciting and well-crafted scenes in any film.
