-->'''Margot Robbie''': Basically, Lewis Rainieri's mortgage bonds were amazingly profitable for the big banks. But then they ran out of mortgages to put in them. After all, there are only so many homes and so many people with good enough jobs to buy them...right? So the banks started filling these bonds with riskier and riskier mortgages [''she is handed a drink''] -- thank you, Henry -- that way, they can keep that profit machine churning right? By the way, these risky mortgages are called: Sub-prime. So...whenever you hear sub-prime...think: Shit. Our friend Michael Burry found out, that these mortgages bonds that were supposedly 65 percent AAA, were actually just, basically full of shit. So now he's going to short the bonds, which means...bet against. Got it?...Good! [''DeathGlare''] Now, fuck off.
