The tense scene in which Jesse Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg and Andrew Garfield's Eduardo Saverin argue in The Social Network required several retakes to capture the perfect emotional tone. Director David Fincher wanted perfection, paying close attention to the rhythm and timing of the rapid-fire dialogue. This scene is significant to the movie's plot of friendship and betrayal. No matter how many takes they had to do, it evolved into one of the most powerful and memorable moments as a deepening rift between characters.
