The Prisoner of Second Avenue1975

Edna:
Mel, who's behind the plot? Is it the kids? The addicts? The Army? The Navy? The Book-of-the-month Club? Who?

Mel:
It is the human race. The deterioration of the spirit of Man. Man undermining himself, causing a self-willed, self-imposed, self-evident self-destruction! That's what it is. That's who it is.

Edna:
The human race, Mel?

Mel:
Yes.

Edna:
The human race is responsible for the unemployment?

Mel:
You're surprised, aren't you?

Edna:
I never would've guessed. All this time, I kept thinking it was somebody else.
