1:44:08
You're being docile as hell
about this.
1:44:12
Hell, Diana, I knew it was over
with us weeks ago.
1:44:16
Will you go back to your wife?
1:44:20
I'll give it a try,
but I don't think she'll jump at it.
1:44:23
Don't worry about me.
1:44:25
I'll manage. I always have,
I always will.
1:44:28
I'm more concerned about you.
1:44:30
You're not the boozer type.
1:44:32
So I figure a year, maybe two,
before you crack up...
1:44:36
or jump out of
your 14th floor office window.
1:44:39
Stop selling, Max.
I don't need you.
1:44:53
I don't want your pain! I don't want
your menopausal decay and death!
1:44:56
- I don't need you, Max! Get out!
- You need me!
1:45:00
You need me badly! Because I'm
your last contact with human reality.
1:45:04
I love you!
1:45:06
And that painful, decaying love
is the only thing between you...
1:45:10
and the shrieking nothingness
you live the rest of the day.
1:45:13
Then don't leave me.
1:45:18
It's too late.
1:45:21
There's nothing left in you
that I can live with.
1:45:26
You're one of Howard's humanoids.
If I stay with you, I'll be destroyed.
1:45:32
Like Howard Beale was destroyed.
1:45:35
Like Laureen Hobbs was destroyed.
1:45:38
Like everything you and the institution
of television touch is destroyed.
1:45:49
You're television incarnate.
1:45:53
Indifferent to suffering...
1:45:56
insensitive to joy.
1:45:59
All of life is reduced
to the common rubble of banality.
