This afternoon at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Facebook chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg sat down with TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington for his first interview since the company’s closely watched (and much criticized) initial public offering back in May.

Needless to say, it was a huge deal: The convention hall was standing-room only, Facebook’s stock got a palpable boost in after-hours trading, and it seems like every other sentence that came out of Zuck’s mouth was made into a press headline.

But because of the hard work of the people at TechCrunch TV and SnappyTV, we can both show and tell you about the best sound bites from Zuck’s big appearance. In the video embedded above, you’ll find a roundup of all the best exchanges from this afternoon’s on-stage interview, one after another — from how Facebook’s falling stock price could actually be a boon to its hiring, to the reason why he doesn’t commit code to Facebook anymore, to those nagging Facebook phone rumors, and more.
