The Burden of Necessary Choices
Will Emerson Jesus, Seth. Listen, if you really wanna do this with your life, you have to believe you're necessary, and you are. People wanna live like this with their cars and big fuckin houses they can't even pay for, then you're necessary. The only reason that they all get to continue living like kings is because we got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off, and then the whole world gets really fuckin fair really fuckin quickly, and nobody actually wants that. They say they do, but they don't. They want what we have to give them, but they also wanna, you know, play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. Well, that's more hypocrisy than I'm willing to swallow, so fuck em. Fuck normal people. You know, the funny thing is, tomorrow if all of this goes tits up, they're gonna crucify us for being too reckless, but if we're wrong, and everything gets back on track? Well, then, the same people are gonna laugh till they piss their pants, cause we're gonna all look like the biggest pussies God ever let through the door.
Seth Bregman You think we're wrong?
Will Emerson … No. They're all fucked.

Kate Oh, no, no. That's not what I meant. I just... you just don't look...
Scott Hot, buff, or capable of inciting an all-girl smackdown? No, you're right. Naw, it's-it's cool. I'll let you in on a secret, though. My mom, says I'm special on the inside.
Kate Good for you.
Scott Yeah.
The Nature of Wealth and Spending
Peter Sullivan Will? Did you really make two and a half million last year?
Will Emerson Yeah, sure.
Peter Sullivan How did you spend it all?
Will Emerson It goes quite quickly. You know, you learn to spend what's in your pocket.
Seth Bregman Two and a half million goes quickly?
Will Emerson All right, let's see. So the taxman takes half up front, so you're left with one and a quarter. My mortgage takes another 300 grand. I send 150 home for my parents, you know, keep them going. So what's that?
Peter Sullivan 800.
Will Emerson All right, 800. Spent 150 on a car. About 75 on restaurants. Probably 50 on clothes. I put 400 away for a rainy day.
Seth Bregman That's smart.
Will Emerson Yeah, as it turns out, cause it looks like the storm's coming.
Peter Sullivan You still got 125.
Will Emerson Yeah, well, I did spend $76,520 on hookers, booze, and dancers. But mainly hookers.
Peter Sullivan 76.5?
Will Emerson I was a little shocked initially, but then I realized that I could claim most of it back as entertainment. It's true.
Understanding Different Tastes in Relationships
John So you're lab partners with Kate, right? We talk. What's her deal?
Scott Yeah, I don't know. I don't think she's your type.
John Girl is my type.
Scott Alright, well then maybe you're not her type. She's into stuff like old school Elvis Costello, she listens to obscure podcasts, she reads Dave Eggers. You know, she's deep, man.
John Dude, I'm deep. I'm dating the poetry club.
