From "Margin Call (2011)" - context is a subprime investment banker explaining how he justifies doing what he does:
> 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.
This is fulfilling a demand, it's one I don't agree with either, and think we'd be better off without, but people are asking for it. At least it's a legit company doing it and not a mobster or money launderer.
