Dafuck The Social Network?

I watched The Social Network yesterday for the first time in years and I'm surprised by the placement of two of its most famous & most quoted lines:

One of the Winklevoss twins' great "I'm 6'5", 220 and there's two of me" line is delivered near the beginning of the movie in a scene with ONLY the other Winklevoss twin and their one business friend. Why not save it for as late in the movie as you can & with other people in the room, including his opposition, for as much of a "mic drop!" moment as you can get? Dafuck?

And Justin Timberlake's iconic "a million dollars isn't cool, you know what's cool? A billion dollars" line isn't delivered how you think it is when you look back on it fondly; in fact it's not even delivered by Timberlake himself!
