Superman: [after saving Lois Lane and other members of the media from a plane crash] Well, I hope this experience hasn't put any of you off flying. Statistically speaking, it's still the safest way to travel.
Beth: [first lines - phone conversation over scenes of cassette tape litter] Where does it come from, ya know? Seriously, what's on it? You ever wonder about that? Greta: Mmm, not really. Beth: Maybe just a desert phenomenon; I don't know. A desert road phenomenon. Alex: [tears tape out of cassette and throws it out the car window] Beth: In theory you should be seeing less of it, right? With the popularity of digital and all. But there seems to be more of it now than ever. All over the place. Greta: Maybe it's because the tape is out-dated. Because everything *is* going digital. Beth: Yeah. It's weird though. It seems like it's always been there. As long as I can remember. What about the pieces that are thrown away on purpose? What exactly is on that, ya know? We're just assuming it's either bad music or bad home movies. What if there's something on it we're *supposed* to know about. Greta: Or not know about... Beth: Or could it be something even more extraordinary? Something beyond even our comprehension? Richard: [driving along drinking from a liquor bottle] Greta: Such as? Beth: Communication. [scenes of tape fragments falling from the sky] Beth: What if some civilization peered in on us when we were at the height of using magnetic tape, seeing that we used it to relay information. What if this is the media they're using to contact us? It's just coming to us know as we move past the means to read it. What if these little ribbons are clusters of cosmic... leaflets. Greta: Beth... you still there? Beth: Yeah. Sorry. Greta: Have you tried talking with Tim about this? Beth: He always reaches the same conclusion. Greta: Which is? Beth: That I should just move in with him. 'would solve everything. Greta: And what do you think? Beth: I think... I'm bothered by all this tape.
Mickey: You'll never understand, Wayne. You and me, we're not even the same species. I used to be you, then I evolved. From where you're standing, you're a man. From where I'm standing, you're an ape. You're not even an ape. You're a media person. Media's like the weather, only it's man-made weather. Murder? It's pure. You're the one made it impure. You're buying and selling fear. You say "why?" I say "why bother?"
Mordechai Jefferson Carver: [talking on the phone] I need you to get in contact with the Worldwide Jewish Media Conspiracy and mass-produce every holiday movie that has a Jewish protagonist who is depicted in a positive light. JJL Chief Bloomenbergensteinenthal: So you want me to mass produce "Yentl," "Fiddler on the Roof," and Chaim Potok's "The Chosen"? Mordechai Jefferson Carver: Right.
Debra: [voiceover] The media were lying to us, or the government was lying to them. They were trying to make it seem like everything was gonna be all right.
Eddie: In the Middle Ages everyone really had to worry about witches and goblins, but what we have is stuff eating at us. We've got stuff we don't even... I mean, why do you think that all the warlords of the world are so anxious to get their own personal little stash of chemical weapons. They call them weapons of mass destruction, but they're not. They're very *very* selective about what they destroy. They annihilate people and preserve things. They love things. You and I would be dead, gas... puke... gone. Whereas, you know, other earlier older people - the ancients - could look to the heavens, which in their minds was inhabited by this thoughtful, meditative, you know, maybe a trifle unpredictable and wrathful, but nevertheless up there - this divine onlooker. We've got anchorpersons and talking heads. We've got politicians who decide life and death issues on the basis of their media concerns. That's what we've got.
Mickey: The media is like the weather, only it's man-made weather.
Louise Harrington: What if... you were driving in your car... and you hit a tree and you went flying through the windshield? F. Scott Feinstadt: I guess I would... take all the splintered wood... and the shattered glass and the twisted metal... and I'd mix it with my blood and my guts... and i'd create this giant... mixed media roadkill sculpture.
Harlan Ellison: Are [other writers] Harlan Ellison: any less the media whore than I? I think not. Nobody's offered to buy their soul. I sell my soul, but at the highest rates.
Elliot Carver: Good morning, my golden retrievers. What kind of havoc shall the Carver Media Group create in the world today? News? Newsman: Floods in Pakistan, riots in Paris, and a plane crash in California. Elliot Carver: Outstanding!
