I’m looking for a place to find quotes from the 1976 Sidney Lumet movie “Network.” I need, in particular, the text of the quote that comes when Faye Dunaway is pitching the Howard Beale show. It’s near the beginning of the film, maybe forty-five minutes in. ANY help on this is appreciated–be it the text of the quote from someone who has the movie and is kind enough to post it for me, or Internet links that would point me where I wanted to go.

I have not seen the movie so I’m not familar with the quote you are looking for or referring to, however, I did a quick search on [Yahoo!](http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=Faye+Dunaway+Network+1976+quotes&hc=0&hs=1), and found this site:

Sorry I could not have been of more help.

Cheers! and good luck on your search.

There is also an extensive database of quotes at the Internet Movie Database ([imdb.com](http://imdb.com)). You can find the _Network_ quotes [here](http://us.imdb.com/Quotes?0074958).
