Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- Your Network News show is going to need some help, Max, if it's gonna hold.

I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!
I'm going to blow my brains out, right on this programme, a week from today. -Ten seconds to commercial. -So tune in next Tuesday. That should give the public-relations people a week to promote the show.
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.
I don't know what to do about the depression, and inflation, and the Russians, and the crime in the street. All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.
