The Stepfather - Exploring the Impact of Parental Betrayal
David Harris: [about news story]
That kind of thing really gets to me, that someone could do that to her own children.
Michael Harding:
It does make you wonder, though, what takes to make someone do something so sick.
Susan Harding:
Change the conversation, please.
David Harris: [under his breath]
Maybe they disappointed her.

John Tucker Must Die - 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.

John Tucker Must Die - Unexpected Perceptions of Identity and Worth
Kate:
Oh. You're the other Tucker?
Scott:
What is that? Is that like "the loser Tucker"?
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.

Good for you.

Yeah.

Oh, well before I say yes, how exactly did he get burned?

A clear warning.

Margin Call - 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.

Margin Call - 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.
