  From NETWORK, by Paddy Chayefsky (c)1976
  

  Arthur Jensen:                  
  "You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr Beale, and I won’t have it. Is that clear?
  ...You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples.
  There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no Third Worids. There is no West.
  There is only one holistic system of systems.
  One vast and immense, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars.
  Petrol dollars, electro dollars, multi dollars. Reichsmarks, rins, roubles, pounds and shekels.
  It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet.
  That is the natural order of things today.
  That is the atomic...and subatomic and galactic structure of things today.
  And you have meddled with the primal forces of nature.
  And you will atone.
  Am I getting through to you, Mr Beale?
  You get up on your little   -inch screen... and howl about America and democracy.
  

  There is no America.
  There is no democracy.
  There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T...and DuPont, Dow, Unión Carbide and Exxon.
  Those are the nations of the worid today.
  ...We no longer live in a worid of nations and ideologies, Mr Beale.
  The worid is a college of corporations...inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business.
  The worid is a business, Mr Beale.
  It has been since man crawled out of the slime.
  And our children will live, Mr Beale, to see that... perfect worid... in which there’s no war or famine, oppressión 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.
  

  Beale: Why me?
  

  Jensen: Because you’re on televisión, dummy.
