Michael Hyland: Walter Graves

Quotes 

• Walter Graves : Operator just cut me off. Saying they had an emergency phone call from "A Current Affair".

  Gary Noesner : Is that so?

  Walter Graves : Yeah.

  Gary Noesner : Well, let's cut the outside lines and run our own. I want their undivided attention.

• Gary Noesner : We've met before, haven't we?

  Walter Graves : Yeah, we sure have. You trained me.

• Gary Noesner : So, what's the deal with that Prince fella? I didn't get the fuzziest feeling from him.

  Walter Graves : Yeah, he's not really a "fuzzy feeling" kinda guy. He's out of San Antonio, like me, but prepare yourself. He's a piece of work.

• Ron Engelman : Mr. Koresh? Mr. Koresh, are you there?

  David Koresh : Yes, I am. What's left of me, anyways.

  Ron Engelman : Can you tell us what happened today?

  David Koresh : What happened today was un-American.

  Ron Engelman : How are you guys holding up there?

  David Koresh : Not good. There's a bunch of us shot dead. You know, we have kids in here.

  Gary Noesner : [at the command post]  Get the lines consolidated yet?

  Walter Graves : Almost. I asked HRT for help. They said they'd get on it.

  Gary Noesner : Yeah, don't expect any favors from those guys.

• Walter Graves : [on the phone]  Yeah, it looks like it's winding down. We're just waiting for 'em to come out. Well, hopefully, tonight. Hey, I gotta go, but I'll see you tomorrow. I love you, too. Bye.

  Gary Noesner : [he hangs up]  Your wife?

  Walter Graves : Yeah.

  Gary Noesner : Yeah. Let me give you a little piece of advice, okay? Never say you're coming home until you're on your way. Underpromise, overdeliver. Everyone's happier that way.
