"This is Wall Street, Dr Burry. If you offer us free money, we are going to take it."

#GreatLines

Scene in #TheBigShort. Goldman banker Lucy (played brilliantly by #VanessaCloke) making fun of #MichaelBurry's offer to trade against the 2007 housing bubble.

Burry was right, of course, and Lucy was wrong.

The irony: #Goldman made money regardless. They traded on both sides and extracted themselves out of their own mistakes, letting their clients take the hit.
