Michael Hyland: Walter Graves

Quotes 

• Gary Noesner : Do these kids seem abused to you?

  Walter Graves : No, they sure don't.

  Gary Noesner : Yeah. I've seen abused kids. They don't act like this. These children are loved. Their parents must be suffering to be without 'em. Koresh won't send out any more kids. We need to start working on the parents.

  Walter Graves : Okay. How do we do that?

  Gary Noesner : Go get the camera.

• Kathy Schroeder : You lied to me.

  Walter Graves : Who's this?

  Kathy Schroeder : Kathy Schroeder. I saw that tape you sent. I gave my children over to you and you lied to me!

  Walter Graves : [muting the call]  Get Gary!

  [he unmutes the call, and Gary enters as they talk] 

  Walter Graves : Uh, I'm sorry, Kathy. You have me at a bit of a disadvantage. I'm not sure what we're talking about here.

  Kathy Schroeder : Danny! I mean, where are his brothers? They're supposed to be together! Danny is only three and he's all alone!

  Walter Graves : I don't know why your sons would be separated.

  [Gary scribbles a note on a legal pad] 

  Walter Graves : Wait. Uh... The father took them. Now, why didn't he take Danny?

  Kathy Schroeder : Well, Danny's not his. I mean, he belongs to Mike. You know, my second husband, who you killed?

• Kathy Schroeder : I need you to get Danny to his brothers. Okay? They'll look after him. I need you to make Dale understand.

  Walter Graves : Kathy, your first husband has no legal right to Danny.

  Kathy Schroeder : Well, nobody told me that! You... God, you guys are like...! I mean, first you killed Mike, and now Danny's just all alone! This is not right.
