Newman has it all worked out. I get a million. He gets a million two, but that includes $200,000 expenses.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that two people, Newman and the speaker, have made a deal where they will both earn a large amount of money. However, Newman's earnings are slightly higher because he has to cover $200,000 in expenses. This means that while they are both making a significant amount of money, Newman's final take-home pay is slightly more than the speaker's due to the additional costs he has to cover.
