Clete Meizenheimer:
Hi! I'm Clete Mizenheimer doing an on-the-spot report with some of the people actually, physically, personally involved in this ongoing tragedy of terror. Now, uh, ah! [looking around, spies Loretta scribbling in a notepad] Here's a young lady right here! Hello, your name is?

Loretta Haggers:
I'm Loretta Haggers, friend and neighbor of the hostage.

Clete Meizenheimer:
Oh, a friend and neighbor of the hostage, I see. Well, how do you feel about your friend in there being trapped?

Loretta Haggers:
Oh, well, personally, I feel very terrible about it. See, and as a result I have begun to write this tune about the horrendous hours that we've all experienced here of the unknowing, the waiting, the uncertainty, and the sweat and tension that is climaxing in each of us.

Clete Meizenheimer:
Yeah, I feel it, too.
