Quote context

[...]

- Will you go back to your wife?

- I'll give it a try, but I don't think she'll jump at it.

- But don't worry about me. I'll manage. I always have, I always will. I'm more concerned about you. You're not the boozer type. So I figure a year, maybe two, before you crack up. Or jump out of your 14th floor office window.

- Stop selling, Max. I don't need you.

- I don't want your pain. I don't want your menopausal decay and death! I don't need you, Max. Now get out of here!

- You need me! You need me badly. Because I'm your last contact with human reality.

- I love you. And that painful, decaying love is the only thing between you and the shrieking nothingness you live the rest of the day.

- Then don't leave me.

- It's too late, Diana. There's nothing left in you that I can live with.

- You're one of Howard's humanoids and if I stay with you, I'll be destroyed. Like Howard Beale was destroyed. Like Laureen Hobbs was destroyed. Like everything that you and the institution of television touch is destroyed.

- You're television incarnate, Diana. Indifferent to suffering, insensitive to joy. All of life is reduced to the common rubble of banality.

- War, murder, death... all the same to you as bottles of beer.

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.
