I'd love this scene from Margin Call. I'm not familiar with each of these economic crashes that are mentioned, and I'm curious about the percentages never changing....seems to be very true.

It's a great scene and line that's always stayed with me.
"It's certainly no different today than it's ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 1837,1857, 1884, 1901, 1907, 1929, 1937, 1974, 1987, Jesus didn't that fuck me up good, 1992, 1997, 2000, and whatever we want to call this, it's all just the same thing over and over, and over again. *We can't help ourselves*. And you and I can't control or stop it, or even slow it. We just react. We make a lot of money if we get it right, and we get left by the side of the road if we get it wrong. There have always been, and they always will be *the same percentage of winners and losers*. Happy fucks and sad sacks, fat cats and starving dogs in this world. There may be more of us today than has ever been, but *the percentages they stay exactly the same.*"
