The Water Horse - Rumors of a Secret Mission
Jimmy's Mate 1:
Hey, did you see all those jeeps and lorries going up and down that hill?
Jimmy's Mate 2:
You're late, and that is very hush-hush.
Jimmy McGarry:
Aye. It's a secret mission, that's what I hear. Top-secret.
Bartender:
Oh, I'll say one thing, Jimmy. If it's a secret, you'd be the last person to tell about it.
Jimmy's Mate 1:
That's cruel. That's very cruel.
Jimmy's Mate 2:
Aye.
Lewis Mowbray:
Evening.
Bartender:
All right. What do you like?
Lewis Mowbray:
Pint of McEwan's.
Jimmy McGarry:
Looks like rain.
Lewis Mowbray:
Yeah, it might.
Jimmy McGarry:
You're not from the village. Would you be with the artillery?
Sgt. Wallace Strunk: [enters the pub with the men]
Here we are, lads. Our home away from home. Did you hear the captain today? "We're on the front lines." Front line, my aunt. We're here cause his daddy got him put away from danger as the War Office could find.
Jimmy McGarry:
You're the boys with the big gun up the loch.
Sgt. Wallace Strunk:
Indeed, we are.
Jimmy McGarry:
Would that thing sink a submarine?
Sgt. Wallace Strunk:
With one shell. What are you having, lads?
Soldier:
A pint of heavy.
Sgt. William Strunk:
Yeah, I'll have a whiskey. What have you got there?

The Water Horse - The Legend of the Water Horse
Lewis Mowbray: [telling Angus a tale about the water horse]
Aye, it was my Uncle Lachlan who first told me about them. Many years ago, there was a lost traveler, and he's weeping bitter tears, because he cannot find his way home. H-He'd given up hope. Then suddenly, who should appear at the bank of the loch to this traveler but a sea spirit. A water horse. Now, the traveler, no fool is he, knows that the water horse is a creature of magic, one that could grow 10 feet tall overnight. So the traveler, he feeds the water horse, strokes it, flatters it with compliments, and finally, the traveler says: "Incidentally, water horse, my dear friend, I'm wondering, if you've no other pressing engagements, could I trouble you to carry me across the loch on your back? Show me the way home?

Are your parents still around?

September 5 - Concerns About Televised Executions
Marvin Bader:
You don't want anybody to see their kid executed on live television.
Roone Arledge:
Of course not, Marv...
Marvin Bader:
So I... I don't know about the Israelis, but David Berger's folks are in Ohio, so I'm pretty sure they'll watch.
Roone Arledge:
Well, someone should tell them not to watch it.

September 5 - Media Sensitivity in Reporting on Conflict
Peter Jennings: [over the phone]
Whatever conception you have of Arabia or Arabs, you need to understand how sensitive this situation is. This is no longer the Olympics.
Marvin Bader:
Thank you, Peter, for, uh, clarifying. It does bring up a good question. What should we call them on the air?
Peter Jennings:
In News, we would refer to them as commando guerrillas.
Roone Arledge:
Commando? That sounds like we're in Vietnam or something.
Geoffrey Mason:
What was it they called them in German radio?
Marianne Gebhardt:
Terrorists.
Roone Arledge:
What was that?
Marianne Gebhardt:
They used "terrorists.
Roone Arledge:
Okay. Let's... let's go with that.
Peter Jennings:
That's a charged term. Terrorism is the organized and systematic use of violence against civilians to affect a political goal.
Marvin Bader:
Isn't that pretty much what's happening here?
Peter Jennings:
Nobody knows yet what is happening here. So we have to be very careful about everything we say on air.

September 5 - Safety versus Image in Olympic Security Debate
Marianne Gebhardt: [translating interview on the radio]
Someone's asking the chief of police if he thinks it was a mistake that the Olympic Village had no armed police.
Jacques Lesgards:
Of course it was!
Marianne Gebhardt: [pause]
I guess they didn't want the world to be reminded of the last time armed Germans patrolled fences.
Jacques Lesgards:
So, Germany's makeover is more important than people's safety?
Marvin Bader: [points at TV screens]
C'mon. This isn't our business. That is our business, and in less than an hour, we go live.

September 5 - Crisis Management Amidst Uncertainty and Overwhelm
Marvin Bader: [about the terrorists having access to the ABC coverage]
Then they should have cut the electricity to the apartment! It's not up to us to double-check on them.
Geoffrey Mason:
That... Marv, it's not okay if we made it worse. You know that.
Marvin Bader:
We don't even know why they called it off. The Germans seem generally pretty overwhelmed.
Marianne Gebhardt:
They are. I'm listening to the police radio; it's local cops doing things they have never done before. The German Army gave them sniper rifles and had to instruct them on how to use them.
Geoffrey Mason:
Why doesn't the German Army just do it itself?
Marianne Gebhardt:
They're not allowed to operate here. German Constitution.
Geoffrey Mason:
That's ridiculous!
Marvin Bader:
The rumor is Israel offered to send a special unit to help them out, and that Germany refused it.
Marianne Gebhardt:
They are just making one mistake after another and trying to act like they've got it all under control.
