- Frank Rogers: So this kid's gonna blow up "Coffee Nation" because he's pissed at Dad?
- Emily Lehman: People have done worse.
- Matt Flannery: It's probably up there though...
- Matt Flannery: [holding up collage of the HT and his mother] Do you have any idea why he'd send this to you?
- Judith Cunningham: No.
- Matt Flannery: Well, I think I do. I think he's trying to send you a message.
- Congressman Carl Cunningham: What message?
- Matt Flannery: Loosely translated, 'Mom, this is your fault.'
- [Emily has just gotten off the phone with the HT]
- Emily Lehman: He called me a bitch and an infidel.
- Matt Flannery: The sweet sound of progress!
- [to Emily after she's made a deal with the HT to trade herself for the hostages]
- Matt Flannery: You're putting yourself at risk. You're acting like me.
- Emily Lehman: Trent, are you going to commit suicide?
- Trent Cunningham: [sarcastically] No. I just strapped a bomb to my chest because I had nothing else to wear.
- Emily Lehman: Is that it, Frank? You're just gonna shoot Rick Keesler, call it a day?
- Frank Rogers: Have you seen him act?
