Gage: When we me in January, I expressed doubts about the site, where it stood with graphics, how much programming was left that I had not anticipated...
[flash back to Eduardo reading from the same letter]
Eduardo Saverin: ...the lack of hardware we had to deal with the site used, the lack of promotion that would go on to successfully launch the website
[back at the deposition]
Gage: This was the first time you raised any of those concerns, right?
Mark Zuckerberg: I'd raised concerns before.
Tyler Winklevoss: ***!
Divya Narendra: Not to us.
Gage: I'm talking about at the meeting in January to which this letter is referring.
Mark Zuckerberg: Yeah
Gage: Let me re-phrase this. You sent my clients sixteen emails, and the first fifteen you didn't raise any concerns.
Mark Zuckerberg: Is that a question?
Gage: In the sixteenth email you raised concerns about the site's functionality. Were you leading them on for six weeks?
Mark Zuckerberg: No.
Gage: Then why didn't you raise any of these concerns before?
[Mark looks away towards the window]
Mark Zuckerberg: It's raining.
Gage: I'm sorry?
Mark Zuckerberg: It just started raining.
Gage: Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: No.
Gage: Do you think I deserve it?
Mark Zuckerberg: What?
Gage: Do you think I deserve your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition and I don't want to purger myself. So I have a legal obligation to say no.
Gage: Okay, no. You don't think I deserve your attention.
Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall they have a right to give it a try. But there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention, you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing. Did I adequately answer your condescending question?
