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.

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.
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.
