A scene from Network 1976

Nelson Chaney

All I know is that this violates every canon of respectable broadcasting.

Frank Hackett

We're not a respectable network. We're a whorehouse network, and we have to take whatever we can get.

Nelson Chaney

Well, I don't want any part of it. I don't fancy myself the president of a whorehouse.

Frank Hackett

That's very commendable of you, Nelson. Now sit down. Your indignation is duly noted; you can always resign tomorrow.
