• Lawrence Fields : Your big mortgage bet concerns us. We have no confidence in your ability to identify macroeconomic trends.

  Michael Burry : You flew here to tell me that? Why? I mean, anyone can see there's a real estate bubble.

  Lawrence Fields : Actually, no one can see a bubble. That's what makes it a bubble.

  Michael Burry : That's dumb, Lawrence. There are always markers. Mortgage fraud - it's quadrupled since 2000. Average take home pay is flat yet home prices are soaring. That means homes are debts not assets.

  Martin Blaine : [sarcastically]  So Mike Burry of San Jose, a guy who gets his hair cut at SuperCuts, and doesn't wear shoes, knows more than Alan Greenspan and Hank Paulson?

  Michael Burry : Dr. Mike Burry. And yes... he does.
