If you apply a card's effects, must you apply all of them, including the Waste?

The rulebook's Playing A Card section makes the effects all-or-nothing, with the Waste exception.

Yes. Once you apply a card's effects, all of them happen in order from top to bottom, including the Waste. If one cannot be applied, none are, except that a Waste gain is skipped when the Waste supply is empty. To take only the money, play the card without applying its effects.
