Oh man, what a fantastic film. It's a been a while since I saw Margin Call, but I still feel like it's one of the films that best captured the 2008 financial crisis. Jeremy Irons' portrayal of a Goldman CEO-like character — I think he's the one who delivers the line you quoted — remains probably the most convincing portrayal of that type of person I can remember.

The wonderful board room scene:

I was working on a credit trading desk during the beginning of the crisis. At least in my experience, Margin Call is definitely the most accurate movie about high finance I've ever seen.
