Andrew Garfield reflected on his iconic "lawyer up" scene from 2010's "The Social Network" and said he's willing to whisper the line to people if he ever needs to make ends meet.
"The cool thing about that movie, my love for Jesse Eisenberg and the relationship we created for that film meant that I wanted that line to hurt him more than if I shouted it," Garfield said in the latest installment of BuzzFeed's "Thirst Tweets," in which celebrities read flattering tweets from fans that range from sweet to highly inappropriate.
"I wanted it to be lodged in his f---ing soul," the 37-year-old actor added.
Garfield's comment was in response to a fan tweeting: "i wish andrew garfield would whisper 'you better lawyer up, a--hole' in my ear."
The tweet was referring to a line spoken by Garfield in the film, which chronicled the formation of Facebook and how cofounder Mark Zuckerberg (played by Eisenberg) found himself in the middle of two lawsuits.
Toward the end of "The Social Network," Garfield's character, Eduardo Saverin, angrily confronted Mark after learning that his Facebook share was diluted from 34% to 0.03%, he was the only person whose percentage decreased, and his name was removed from the masthead.
After yelling at Mark and reminding him that he was a cofounder of Facebook, Eduardo said in a lower voice: "You better lawyer up, a--hole. Because I'm not coming back for 30%. I'm coming back for everything."
The lasting impact of the scene isn't lost on Garfield, who previously applauded a viral recreation performed by "Teen Wolf" star Dylan O'Brien and "Parenthood" actress Sarah Ramos.
"If I can't make money in other ways, I will charge people for me to whisper in their ear, 'You better lawyer up, a--hole,'" Garfield said in the BuzzFeed video. "It's kind of a good side gig."
