...I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad.
It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job.
The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.
Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do,
and there's no end to it.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat,
and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that
today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes,
as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy.
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore.
We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is,
'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms.
Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.'
......
'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'
I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell -
'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!'
Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!...
You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'
Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis.
我不需要告訴你們事情很糟糕,因為所有人都知道,現在是個蕭條期
每個人都失業,或者說戰戰兢兢的怕失業,1塊錢就像過去的5分錢,銀行都完蛋了
售貨員帶著槍站櫃檯,滿街都是朋克,沒有人知道能做些什麼,這種生活似乎看不到頭
我們知道空氣不適宜呼吸,也知道我們的食物不適宜吃,我們坐著看電視,聽某些新聞播音員告訴我們
今天我們有15起殺人事件,和63起暴力事件發生,就好像這是應該的一樣,我們知道事情很糟糕，
比糟糕更糟糕，應該說都瘋了,所有事情所有地方都瘋了,所以我們哪兒也不去
這個世界變得越來越小,我們只能說，「求你了，至少讓我們在自己家裡可以一個人呆著吧
讓我可以吃烤麵包，可以看電視,可以給我的車配上鋼製輻板,我就滿足了
就讓我一個人呆著就好了」
...........
「我已經瘋了，再也受不了這樣下去了」
我希望你們現在就站起來,我希望你們每個人現在都站起來,走到窗戶跟前
打開它們，把頭探出去喊「我已經瘋了，再也受不了這樣下去了」
事態必須要有所改變,但是首先,你必須要先發瘋才行
你必須要先說「我已經瘋了，再也受不了這樣下去了」
然後我們才會想初如何解決經濟蕭條,通貨膨脹和石油危機
Beale的瘋狂電視秀-關掉電視吧
... Because you people and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now.
Because less than three percent of you people read books.
Because less than 15 percent of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube.
Right now, there is a whole and entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube!
This tube is the Gospel. The ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers.
This tube is the most awesome goddamn force in the whole godless world and
woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people!
.........
And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome,
goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network!
So you listen to me. Listen to me!
Television is not the truth. Television's a god-damned amusement park!
Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers,
dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers and football players.
We're in the boredom-killing business. So if you want the truth, go to God. Go to your gurus.
Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth.
But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you wanna hear.
We lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer
and that nobody ever gets cancer in Archie Bunker 's house.
And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry. Look at your watch. At the end of the hour he'll win!
We'll tell you any shit you want to hear! We deal in illusions.
None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night. You're all ages, colors, creeds.
We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here.
You're beginning to think the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you!
You dress like the tube, eat like the tube raise your children like the tube, even think like the tube.
This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing! We are the illusion!
So turn off your television sets. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off.
Turn them off in the middle of this sentence. Turn them off!
因為你們還有正在看我節目的,6200萬美國觀眾,因為你們當中看書的人不到3%,看報紙的不到15%
你們只關心怎樣才能,從電視裡找到解脫,現在，有整整一個世代的人根本不知道電視外面是什麼
電視是福音，是最終的啟示,它能讓你當上總統、教皇、總理,也能把你從這些位子上拽下來
它是這個不信神的世界裡,最強大的令人敬畏的力量,如果電視被壞人利用了
我們難道不應該難過嗎！
..........
當世界上第12大的公司,掌管了這個不信神的世界裡最強大的令人敬畏的宣傳力量,
誰知道以後這個公司會打著真理的旗號傳播多少屁話！
所以聽我說，聽我說:電視不是真理,電視只是個遊樂場！電視是馬戲團，是嘉年華,是流動的雜技班子
是講故事的、跳舞的、唱歌的,變戲法的、雜耍的,馴獅子的、玩橄欖球的
我們只是負責打發時間的行業,如果你想要真理
去找上帝,去你的宗教指導那裡,去你自己的內心
因為只有那裡你才能找到真正的真理,但是，你永遠也不會從我們這裡得到真理
我們會告訴你你愛聽的,我們說謊眼睛都不眨
我們會告訴你神探高捷總是能找到兇手,而且亞奇·邦克家裡沒有人會得癌症
無論主角們身陷怎樣的危境都不用擔心,看看表,下個整點前他會勝利的
我們會給你講你想聽的任何屁話,我們玩的就是虛的,沒有一樣是實在的！
但是你們大家日復一日,夜復一夜地坐在這裡,你們有著不同的年紀、膚色、信仰
我們是你們所瞭解的一切,你們願意相信,我們在這裡編織的幻境
你們會認為電視是現實,你們的生活是不真實的,你願意做電視裡讓你做的任何事
你像電視裡一樣穿，一樣吃,像電視裡一樣養孩子,甚至像電視裡一樣思考
這就是民眾的瘋狂,你們瘋了你們知道嗎！
我以上帝的名義告訴你們,你們才是真正存在的,我們是幻像是假的！
所以，把你們的電視關上,現在就關上,把它們關上,以後再也不用了
在我話說到一半時,就把它們關上,關上電視！
