:08:00
- We're flying Snowden up.
- Everybody hold it.
:08:02
Let's see how the other networks
handle this.
:08:05
- The ten o'clock news opened with it.
- Good evening. Howard Beale...
:08:08
They'll all make it
their lead story.
:08:10
Howard Beale interrupted
his "Network News" program tonight...
:08:14
to announce he was going
to kill himself.
:08:16
An unusual thing happened
at a sister network...
:08:18
UBS, this evening.
:08:20
- How are we handling it?
- Halloway will make a statement...
:08:24
at the end of the show that Howard's
been under great personal stress.
:08:30
We've got a stockholders' meeting
tomorrow...
:08:32
at which we will announce
the restructuring of management plan.
:08:35
I don't want this grotesque incident
to interfere with that.
:08:38
I'll suggest Mr. Ruddy open with a short
statement washing this whole thing off.
:08:42
You, Max, better have answers for those
nuts that always come to the meetings.
:08:47
Mr. Beale has been under great
professional and personal strain.
:08:49
I've got surprises for you, too!
:08:51
I've had it up to here
with your division...
:08:54
and it's annual
$33 million deficit!
:08:56
Keep your hands off
my News Division, Frank.
:08:59
We're responsible to corporate level,
not you.
:09:01
We'll goddamn well see about that.
:09:04
All right, take it easy.
How do we get Beale out of here?
:09:07
I understand there are reporters
and camera crews in the lobby.
:09:11
We've got a limo at the freight exit.
:09:13
Howard, you'll spend the night at my
place. There'll be press around yours.
:09:26
I want Snowden here by noon...
:09:29
have Lester
cover the CIA hearings...
:09:31
and give the White House
to Doris.
:09:33
You're late for your screening, Max.
:09:36
Right. Okay.
:09:40
If John Wheeler calls,
switch him to projection room 7.
:09:46
- I'm sorry, Bill. This Beale business.
- It's all right. Sit down.
:09:49
Diana asked if she could sit in on this.
:09:51
Fine. How's it going?
:09:54
You'll like this footage better than
the stuff I showed you last time.
