- And she does all this with tarot cards?
- No. This one operates on parapsychology. She has trance-like episodes and feels things in her energy field.

Quote context

[...]

- Did you know there are a number of psychics working as licensed brokers on Wall Street? Some of them counsel their clients by use of tarot cards. They're all pretty successful, even in a bear market and selling short.

- I met one of them last week and thought of doing a show around her. The Wayward Witch of Wall Street, something like that.

- And of course, if her tips were any good, she could wreck the market.

- So I called her this morning and asked her how she was on predicting the future.

- She said she was occasionally prescient.

- For example, she said: I just had a fleeting vision of you sitting in an office with a craggy middle-aged man with whom you are, or will be, emotionally involved. And here I am.

- And she does all this with tarot cards?

- No. This one operates on parapsychology. She has trance-like episodes and feels things in her energy field.

- I think this lady could be very useful to you, Max.

- In what way?

- Well, you put on a news show and here's somebody who can predict tomorrow's news for you. Her name, aptly enough, is Sibyl. Sibyl the Soothsayer.

- You could give her two minutes of trance at the end of a Howard Beale Show say, once a week, Friday which is suggestively occult, and she could oraculate. Then next week everyone tunes in to see how good her predictions were.

- Maybe she could do the weather.

That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today.
I'm imbued, Max. I'm imbued with some special spirit. It's not a religious feeling at all. It's a shocking eruption of great electrical energy. I feel vivid and flashing, as if suddenly I'd been plugged into some great electromagnetic field.
