Quote context

- That crazy son of a bitch Beale has caught on, so don't tell me you don't know where he is.

- He could be jumping off a roof for all I know. The man is insane. He's not responsible for himself. He needs care and treatment. And all you grave robbers think about is that he's a hit.

- You know, Max, it's just possible that he isn't insane. That he is, in fact, imbued with some special spirit.

- My God, I'm supposed to be the romantic. You're supposed to be the hard-bitten realist.

- All right. Howard Beale obviously fills a void.

- The audience out there obviously wants a prophet, even a manufactured one, even if he's as mad as Moses.

- By tomorrow he'll have a 50 share, maybe even a 60. Howard Beale is processed, instant God. And right now, it looks like he may just go over bigger than Mary Tyler Moore.

- I am not putting Howard back on the air.

- It's not your show anymore, Max, it's mine.

- I gave her the show, Schumacher. I'm putting the Network News show under programming.
