Will Emerson Monologues

You know, the feeling that people experience when they stand on the edge like this isn't the fear of falling - it's the fear that they might jump.

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 in 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 cause 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, thats 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.

It goes quite quickly. You know, you learn to spend what's in your pocket.

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 'em going. So what's that?

Listen, nothing I'm gonna say is going to make you feel any better. It's just going to suck for a while and then you'll be fine.

Hey Eric? Don't beat yourself too much about this stuff, all right? Some people like driving the long way home. Who the fuck knows, right?

Listen. I just got the tap on my shoulder, and we've got some risk over here that we need to move. So today it looks like my loss is your gain.
