This needs to be clear

Dump doesn't care a fuck about anybody. In fact, he's barely human himself. He's some sort of angry golem stomping all over America in some unexplained revenge drama. And the ratings! God, he better get good ratings...

Like William Holden told Faye Dunaway in Paddy Chayefsky's prescient film Network: "You're television incarnate, Diana. Indifferent to suffering; insensitive to joy. All of life is reduced to the common rubble of banality. War, murder, death are all the same to you as bottles of beer.

"And the daily business of life is a corrupt comedy. You even shatter the sensations of time and space into split seconds and instant replays. You're madness, Diana. Virulent madness. And everything you touch dies with you. But not me. Not as long as I can feel pleasure, and pain... and love."
