HOWARD BEALE - YOU HAVE MEDDLED WITH THE PRIMAL FORCES OF NATURE!

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale!

And, I won't have it!

Is that clear!

Do you think you merely stopped a business deal -

That is not the case!

The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country -

And now they must put it back!

It is ebb & flow!

Tidal gravity!

It is ecological balance!

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 3rd worlds - there is no West -

There is only one holistic system of systems -

One vast and main interwoven, interactive, multi-varied -

Multi-national dominion of dollars -

Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars,

Reichsmarks, rubles, pounds & scheckles -

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 atomic and sub-atomic 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 21-inch screen -

And howl about America & democracy -

There is no America, there is no democracy -

There is only -

IBM, ITT, AT&T, and Dupont -

Dow, Union Carbide & EXXON -

Those are the nations of the world today -

What do you think the Russians talk about -

In their councils of state? -

Karl Marx?

They get out their lineal programming charts -

Statistical decision theories 

Min & max solutions 

& compute the price cost probabilities of their -

Transaction & investments
