And you just never bothered to change it? I... What? I don't know how. Do I look stupid to you? No, calm down. You're asking me to believe that the CFO of Facebook doesn't know how to change his relationship status on Facebook? It's a little embarrassing, so you should take it as a sign of trust that I would tell you that. Go to hell. Take it easy. No, you didn't change it so you could screw those Silicon Valley sluts every time you got to some mark. That's not even remotely true, and I can promise you that the Silicon Valley sluts don't care what anyone's relationship status is on Facebook. Please, open your present. Your phone does work. It's Mark. Okay, this is gonna be tricky. Uh, open your present. It's a silk scarf. Have you ever seen me wear a scarf? This will be your first. Yeah. You froze our account? I did.

I'm not going back to that life. Maybe you were frustrated. Yeah. Maybe you were angry. I was. But I am willing to let bygones. Okay, bygones, because, Eduardo, I've got some good news. I'm sorry. I was angry, and maybe it was childish, but I had to get your attention. Wardo, I said I got some good news. What is it? Peter Thiel just made an angel investment of half a million dollars. What? Half a million dollars. And he's setting us up in an office. They want to reincorporate the company. They want to meet you. They need your signature on some documents.
