:29:01
I yell at the driver, "Take me to the
middle of the George Washington Bridge."
:29:08
And the driver says,
"Don't do it, buddy. Don't do it!
:29:12
You're young. You've got
your whole life ahead of you."
:29:15
Wait a minute.
:29:17
If you think that's funny,
wait till you hear this.
:29:22
I've come from Hackett's office.
:29:24
He wants to put Howard
back on the air tonight.
:29:26
Apparently the ratings went up
five points last night...
:29:29
and he wants Howard to go back on
and do his "angry man" thing.
:29:33
What are you talking about?
:29:35
They want Howard to go back on
and yell "bullshit."
:29:40
They want Howard to go on...
:29:42
spontaneously letting out
his anger.
:29:44
A latter-day prophet
denouncing the hypocrisies of our times.
:29:47
That sounds pretty good!
:29:50
Who's "they"?
:29:51
Hackett. Chaney was there.
:29:54
The Legal Affairs guy.
Oh, and that girl from programming.
:29:57
Christensen?
What's she got to do with this?
:29:59
- Are you kidding?
- I'm not kidding.
:30:02
I said, "We're running
a news department here, not a circus.
:30:06
And Howard Beale's
not a bearded lady.
:30:08
If you think I'll go along with
this bastardization of the news...
:30:11
you can have my resignation
along with Max Schumacher's.
:30:14
- I'm speaking for Howard Beale and..."
- That's my job you're turning down.
:30:20
I'd go nuts
without some kind of work.
:30:23
What's wrong with being an angry prophet
denouncing the hypocrisies of our times?
:30:27
What do you think, Max?
:30:28
Do you want to be an angry prophet
denouncing the hypocrisies of our times?
:30:32
Yeah, I'd like to be an angry prophet
denouncing the hypocrisies of our times.
:30:38
Then grab it!
:30:46
- Afternoon, Mr. Ruddy.
- Afternoon.
:30:48
Good afternoon, Mr. Ruddy.
:30:53
- He's waiting for you.
- Thank you.
