Woody: “Most of the places here are 10-20 block lines. Which I'm happy about. I'll get there. I'm just glad folks are doing their bit.”

Petronella: “Here in the 'burbs, the hospitals are turning us away. Tad and I called last night and were told to come back either today or tomorrow.

"I've heard some horrific stories. My old law firm's NYC office is in Tower Two, floor 89. They can't locate two associates and a few support staff. A friend of a friend's officemate got a call from her husband. He supposedly said "I love you, I'm jumping" and then nothing. That was it, when she told me that I just lost it. Needless to say, here in the 'burbs things are soooooo quiet. Most people are staying home, traffic's light, and things are far, far from normal.

"Woody, if you want to get out of Manhattan, we've got a guest room. I just finished it (My husband hates it, he thinks it looks too girly). If you want, your gf and you are certainly welcome.”

Dulcinea: “I'm still wondering if they're headed for the West Coast next. Seems logical for a secondary wave.”

Musubi: “Dear Lord, I hope not. I don't pray very often, but I will surely pray that is the end of the terrorism.”

Jerry Simpson: “My pals here have been talking about the same thing, and cannot come up with a single iconic place in LA that could be attacked. Really. Maybe we're just too spread out or anything...”

Feathers McGraw: “It might be the end of the terrorism that occurs today, but it occurs to me that whatever retribution the United States exacts faces the same point that Colin Powell raised in his statement from South America. He said something to the effect that democracy was an ideal, and that destroying buildings and killing people could not make it go away. The terrorists are taking actions against the United States as an expression of their ideals. How can you combat that?

"The darkest part of today is that it's only the beginning.”

Musubi: “Gee thanks, Mr. Sunshine. Think you could cheer me a bit more?”

David Mumpower: “You can never crush an ideal. What can be done is a criminal may be hunted down and then forced to be held accountable for his/her actions.”

Feathers McGraw: “I agree. And this is how martyrs are made.”

Musubi: “One man's martyr is another man's unspeakable evil.”

David Mumpower: “The beauty of how the deal with Noriega was handled is that he is virtually forgotten now.

"It's a blueprint for avoiding martyrs.”

Feathers McGraw: “Of course, at the time, how many people could actually tell you what crimes Noriega was guilty of?

"Whoever gets the rap for orchestrating today's events is going to make Timothy McVeigh look like Mother Theresa.”

“I fucking hate everybody. But primarily the motherfucking specks (no, I don't think they qualify as people) that are selling World Trade Center merchandise on eBay as of this afternoon.”
