    Erica tells Mark that she has no intention of being friends with him and that girls don't like him because he's an asshole, not because he's a nerd. Wes gives an impassioned speech criticizing the network's Studio 60 show for becoming too safe and predictable, lobotomized of any challenging or cutting edge content, instead just courting stupid 12-year-old boys for ratings. He urges the audience to change the channel.

    “The Social Network”

    By Aaron Sorkin

    Erica Albright: “The door guy?” His name is Bobby. I have not slept with the door guy. The door

    guy is a friend of mine and he’s a perfectly good class of people. And what part of Long Island

    are you from? Wimbledon? I am sorry you are not sufficiently impressed with my education. I

    think we should just be friends. I was just being polite. I have no intention of being friends with

    you. Okay, 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 a--hole.

    “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip”


    By Aaron Sorkin

    Wes: Ah, this is not going to be a very good show tonight. And I think you should change the

    channel. Change the channel, go on, right now... or better yet, turn off the TV, okay? No, I know it

    seems like this is supposed to be funny, but tomorrow you’re gonna find out that it wasn’t and by that

    time I’ll have been fired. No, this is… this is not… this is not a sketch. This show used to be cutting

    edge political and social satire, but it’s gotten lobotomized by a candy-ass broadcast network

    hell-bent on doing nothing that might challenge their audience. We’re about to do a sketch that

    you’ve seen already about 500 times. Yeah, no one’s gonna confuse George Bush with ​George

    Plimpton​. Yeah, we get it. We’re all being lobotomized by this country’s most influential industry

    that’s just throwing in the towel on any endeavor to do anything that doesn’t include the courting of

    12 year old boys. And not even the smart 12 year olds. The stupid ones. The idiots. Which there are

    plenty, thanks in no small measure to this network, so why don’t you just change the channel?
