Margin Call2011

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.
