I don't really know French, but I think V. Hugo was going for something like that classic Simpsons joke.

Like the whole thing is supposed to be

Les Miserab, Les

But I don't think it translates to English very well so they just left it Les Miserables for American audiences.

I do not care that some of this money was made in "options" or "bonuses" or the other kinds of ways that rich people hide how they pay themselves. That's how much they made; that much money, which might have gone anywhere and to anyone in the way that money does, instead wound up stopping with them.

Memorizing this for the next time I talk about wealthy people with my boss or dad

Later:

EVERYONE WAS GOING TO GET CAKE! Isn't that the point of communism, Rick? That everybody gets a little big of everything? Or something? How is it communist if you just ate the entire cake? What are you even trying to prove? L-l-l-look man I don't know a lot about communism, I have read the... the Karl Marx book or anything, but I think you're just being selfish, man. I think you're just using communism to ignore everyone else's... rights?... to their private property?
