  Tony Prince : Come on. You up to speed?

  Mitch Decker : Pretty much.

  Tony Prince : All communications go through me.

  Gary Noesner : I'd prefer if I spoke with Mitch directly. That way, we're always on the same page. I find that...

  Tony Prince : I don't care what you find. You go through me. That's how we're doing it.

• Tony Prince : Koresh is on the radio. Why can he still call out? I don't want him committing suicide on live air.

  Gary Noesner : Mitch! Mitch.

  Mitch Decker : [to another HRT agent]  You got that secure?

  Gary Noesner : Hey, didn't my guy ask you to cut the line?

• Edward Wiggins : Earlier today, the ATF was ambushed as we tried to serve a routine search warrant for what we believe to be a dangerous cult who were illegally modifying weapons for an "end of days" assault. Known as the Branch Davidians, these people believe their charismatic leader, David Koresh, is the Messiah. We had an undercover agent who had infiltrated their compound, but unfortunately, he didn't warn us that the cult was planning an attack. We also now believe that he might have been compromised by the group. The ATF will be investigating that matter further in the days to come. Negotiations have since been turned over to the FBI. Special Agent Tony Prince is here with me to let you know where things currently stand.

  Tony Prince : Thank you. Good morning. My team is now in charge of bringing this situation to an end, and we have hope that it will be over soon. One of our negotiators was able to strike a deal with Mr. Koresh. In exchange for his surrender, we have agreed to play an audiotape from Koresh himself. It's almost an hour long, but per our end of the bargain, here it is.
