:40:06
Yes, I hear you.
:40:13
Yes.
:40:17
Yes.
:40:24
Why me?
:40:27
I said, "Why me?"
:40:49
Howard in his office?
:40:52
I'm killing this whole screwball
"angry prophet" thing.
:40:57
Tonight we go back to straight news.
:41:05
Yeah? Max, I'm telling you he's fine.
:41:09
He's been sharp all day.
He's been as funny as hell.
:41:12
Had everybody cracking up
at the rundown meeting.
:41:14
I told him!
:41:17
Cue VTA.
:41:19
Ready two.
:41:22
- Cue announcer.
- The "UBS Evening News"...
:41:26
with Howard Beale.
:41:28
Last night I was awakened
from a fitful sleep...
:41:32
shortly after 2:00 in the morning...
:41:35
by a shrill, sibilant,
faceless voice.
:41:38
I couldn't make it out at first
in the dark bedroom.
:41:43
I said, "I'm sorry.
You'll have to talk a little louder."
:41:45
- What do you want me to do?
- Nothing.
:41:49
The voice said to me,
"I want you to tell the truth.
:41:52
Not easy to do, because the people
don't want to know the truth."
:41:55
I said, "You're kidding?
:41:58
What should I know about the truth?"
