DIANA: Look, we”ve got a bunch of hobgoblin radicals called the Ecumenical Liberation Army who go around taking home movies of themselves robbing banks. Maybe they”ll take movies of themselves kidnapping heiresses, hijacking 747″s, bombing bridges, assassinating ambassadors. We”d open each week”s segment with that authentic footage, hire a couple of writers to write some story behind that footage, and we”ve got ourselves a series.Listen, I sent you all a concept analysis report yesterday. Did any of you read it? (apparently not) Well, in a nutshell, it said the American people are turning sullen. They”ve been clobbered on all sides by Vietnam, Watergate, the inflation, the depression. They”ve turned off, shot up, and they”ve f -ed themselves limp. And nothing helps. Evil still triumphs over all, Christ is a dope-dealing pimp, even sin turned out to be impotent. The whole world seems to be going nuts and flipping off into spacelike an abandoned balloon. So this concept analysis report concludes the American people want somebody to articulate their rage for them. I”ve been telling you people since I took this job six months ago that I want angry shows. I don”t want conventional programming on this network. I want counter-culture. I want anti-establishment.Now, I don”t want to play butch boss with you people. But when I took over this department, it had the worst programming record in television history. This network hasn”t one show in the top twenty. This network is an industry joke. We better start putting together one winner for next September. I want a show developed, based on the activities of a terrorist group. Joseph Stalin and his merry band of Bolsheviks. I want ideas from you people. And, by the way, the next time I send an audience research report around, you all better read it, or I”ll sack the f -ing lot of you, is that clear?More Monologues from “Network”RelatedShareTweetPin

DIANA: Did you know there are a number of psychics working as licensed brokers on Wall Street? (she sits across from Max, fishes a cigarette out of her purse) Some of them counsel their clients by use of Tarot cards. They”re all pretty successful, even in a bear market and selling short. I met one of them a couple of weeks ago and thought of doing a show around her. The Wayward Witch of Wall Street, something like that. But, of course, if her tips were any good, she could wreck the market. So I called her this morning and asked her how she was on predicting the future. She said she was occasionally prescient. “For example”, she said, “I just had a fleeting vision of you sitting in an office with a craggy middle-aged man with whom you are or will be emotionally involved.” And here I am.More Monologues from “Network”RelatedShareTweetPin
