:42:00
But the voice said to me,
"Don't worry about the truth."
:42:04
I will put the words in your mouth."
:42:07
I said,
"Is this the burning bush?
:42:09
I'm not Moses."
:42:10
The voice said, "I'm not God.
What has that got to do with it?"
:42:14
The voice said, "We're not talking
about eternal, absolute truth.
:42:18
We're talking about impermanent,
transient, human truth!
:42:21
I don't expect people
to be capable of truth...
:42:23
but at least you're capable
of self-preservation."
:42:27
I said, "Why me?"
:42:30
The voice said, "Because you're
on television, dummy."
:42:33
Beautiful.
:42:35
"Forty million Americans listen to you,
and after the show, maybe 50 million.
:42:38
I'm not asking you to walk the land
in sackcloth preaching the Armageddon.
:42:43
You're on TV."
:42:45
I thought about it for a moment.
:42:48
Then I said, "Okay."
:43:10
Close the door, Harry.
:43:16
Howard, I'm taking you off the air.
:43:20
I think you're having a breakdown,
require treatment.
:43:25
This is not a psychotic episode.
:43:28
This is a cleansing moment of clarity.
:43:35
I'm imbued.
:43:38
I'm imbued with some special spirit.
It's not a religious feeling at all.
:43:42
It's a shocking eruption
of great electrical energy.
:43:45
I feel vivid and flashing...
:43:47
as if suddenly I'd been plugged
into a great electromagnetic field.
:43:54
I feel connected to all living things.
:43:57
To flowers, birds...
