- Howard Beale went up there last night and said what every American feels: that he's tired of all the bullshit. He's articulating the popular rage.
- I want that show, Frank. I can turn that show into the biggest smash on television.
- What do you mean you want that show? It's a news show. It's not your department.
- I see Howard Beale as a latter-day prophet. A magnificent, messianic figure inveighing against the hypocrisies of our times. A strip Savonarola, Monday through Friday that I tell you, Frank, could just go through the roof...
- I'm talking about a $6 cost per thousand show. I'm talking about a hundred, a 130000-dollar minutes. Do you wanna figure out the revenues of a strip show that sells for 100000 bucks a minute?
- One show like that could pull this whole network right out of the hole.
- Now, Frank, it's being handed to us on a plate. Let's not blow it.
- Yes? Tell him I'll be a few minutes. Let me think it over.
- Frank, let's not go to committee on this. It's twenty after ten. We want Beale in that studio by half past six. We don't want to lose the momentum.
- For God's sake, Diana, we're talking about putting a manifestly irresponsible man on national television.
