The world...
1:32:04
is a college of corporations...
1:32:07
inexorably determined...
1:32:10
by the immutable bylaws
of business.
1:32:15
The world is a business.
1:32:20
It has been since man
crawled out of the slime.
1:32:27
And our children will live,
Mr. Beale...
1:32:33
to see that...
1:32:36
perfect world...
1:32:40
in which there's no war or famine...
1:32:43
oppression or brutality.
1:32:47
One vast and ecumenical
holding company...
1:32:51
for whom all men will work to serve
a common profit...
1:32:56
in which all men will hold
a share of stock...
1:33:01
all necessities provided...
1:33:04
all anxieties tranquilized...
1:33:09
all boredom amused.
1:33:19
And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale...
1:33:23
to preach this evangel.
1:33:26
Why me?
1:33:29
Because you're on television, dummy!
1:33:33
Sixty million people watch you...
1:33:35
every night of the week,
Monday through Friday.
1:33:38
I have seen the face of God.
1:33:43
You just might be right, Mr. Beale.
1:33:47
That evening Howard Beale
went on the air...
1:33:49
to preach the corporate cosmology
of Arthur Jensen.
1:33:52
Last night I got up here and asked you
to fight for your heritage...
1:33:57
and you did,
and it was beautiful.
1:33:59
Six million telegrams were received
at the White House.
