Arthur Jensen:
The world is a business, Mr. Beale; it has been since man crawled out of the slime. Our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality - one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock - all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.

Howard Beale:
Why me?

Arthur Jensen:
Because you're on television, dummy. Sixty million people watch you every night of the week, Monday through Friday.

Howard Beale:
I have seen the face of God.

Arthur Jensen:
You just might be right, Mr. Beale.
