Quote context

[...]

- Let me tell you what I want. I want a lot more film like the bank rip-off the Ecumenical sent in.

- The way I see the series is each week we open with an authentic act of political terrorism taken on the spot, and in the actual moment. Then we go to the drama behind the opening film footage.

- That's your job, Ms. Hobbs.

- You gotta get the Ecumenicals to bring in that film footage for us. The network can't deal with them directly. They are, after all, wanted criminals.

- The Ecumenical Liberation Army is an ultra-left sect creating political confusion with wildcat violence and pseudo-insurrectionary acts which the Communist Party does not endorse.

- The American masses are not yet ready for open revolt.

- We would not want to produce a television show celebrating historically deviational terrorism.

- Ms. Hobbs, I'm offering an hour of prime-time television every week into which you can stick whatever propaganda you want.

- The Ecumenicals are an undisciplined ultra-left gang whose leader is an eccentric, to say the least. He calls himself the Great Ahmed Kahn and wears a hussar's shako.

- We're talking about 30 to 50 million people a shot. It's a lot better than handing out mimeographed pamphlets on ghetto street corners.

So if you want the truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves. Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth.
It is the exalted flow of the space-time continuum save that it is spaceless and timeless and... of such loveliness.
