:17:01
We'll talk about this tomorrow
at our regular morning meeting.
:17:16
Roll VTA.
:17:18
Bring it up on one.
Ready now.
:17:21
In five, four, three, two...
:17:25
- One.
- One TVA.
:17:28
And...
:17:31
cue announcer.
:17:33
The "UBS Evening News"...
:17:36
with Howard Beale.
:17:38
Ready two.
:17:40
Two. Cue power.
:17:41
Good evening.
Today is Wednesday, September 24...
:17:45
and this is my last broadcast.
:17:48
Yesterday I announced
on this program...
:17:50
that I was going to commit
public suicide...
:17:53
admittedly an act of madness.
:17:56
I'll tell you what happened.
I just ran out of bullshit.
:17:59
- Cut him off.
- Leave him on.
:18:02
Am I still on?
:18:04
If this is how he wants to go out,
this is how he goes out.
:18:07
I just ran out of bullshit.
:18:09
Mr. Schumacher's here.
Do you want to talk to him?
:18:11
Bullshit is all the reasons
we give for living.
:18:13
If we can't think up reasons of our own,
we always have the God bullshit.
:18:18
- We don't know why we go through...
- What is it?
:18:19
Pointless pain,
humiliation and decay.
:18:22
There better be someone, somewhere
who does know. That's the God bullshit.
:18:26
He's saying that life is bullshit.
It is. What are you screaming about?
:18:29
Man is a noble creature who can order
his own world. Who needs God?
:18:34
If there's anybody who can look around
this demented world we live in...
:18:37
and tell me man
is a noble creature...
:18:40
believe me,
that man is full of bullshit.
:18:44
- What's so goddamn funny?
- I can't help it. It's funny.
:18:49
This is going out live
to 67 affiliates.
:18:52
Leave him on.
:18:53
And I was married for 33 years
of shrill, shrieking fraud.
:18:57
- Mr. Hackett's trying to reach you.
- Tell Mr. Hackett to go fuck himself.
