Harrell quotes from Black Hawk Down (2001)

This is Super Six One, I'm hit. I'm hit. Bull, you wanna pull those PCL's off-line, or what?

Right, babe.

Six-one going down, Six-one going down. Hold on! Ah... (he breaks off on impact with the ground)

Col. Harrell

We got a Black Hawk down. We got a Black Hawk down.

Col. Matthews

Super 6-1 is down. We got a bird down in the city.

Super 6-1 is on the deck now.

Get an MH-6 on site, check for survivors. Send in the S.A.R. bird. I want ground forces to move and secure a new perimeter around that crash site. Can you guide the convoy in there?

Matthews

Roger that.

Garrison

Well, move quick. The whole damn city will be coming down on top of them. (Off radio, to executive officer) We just lost the initiative.

Harrell

Uniform 6-4, left turn, left turn.

McKnight

Romeo 6-4, I need to know before I get to the GOD-DAMNED STREET!

Harrell

You need to slow down. there's a delay from the time directions are relayed from Surveillance to JOC, and then to me.

McKnight

We can't slow down! We're taking heavy enemy fire, we can't slow down!

Harrell

You should see the crash site directly ahead.

McKnight

All I see is a roadblock!

Harrell

All right... I'll have to figure out another way.

There's a large crowd advancing six, seven blocks from the crash. Shughart and Gordon again request permission to secure until convoy arrives. Over.

Col. Harrell

General, the crowd's in the hundreds now. From where they are they can see things clearer than any of us. They know what they're asking.

Let me talk to them. this is Garrison. I want to make sure y'all know what you're asking for, so say it out loud and clear.

We're asking to go in and set up a perimeter until ground support arrives.

Garrison

And you realize I cannot tell you when that will be? It could take quite a while.

Roger that.

Garrison

You still want to go in there?

Yes, sir.

Garrison

Colonel Harrell, it's your call.

Harrell

Roger that. Goffena, put them in.

Col. Harrell

Okay, Danny, I need a no-B.S. assessment here. Can you get to the crash site?

Colonel? I can't see shit.

Negative. With the amount of wounded we have, we'd do more harm than good. We need to come back to base, rearm and regroup, and then we can go back out.

Harrell

Roger.

C-2, bring them back. Get them out of there.

Harrell

Roger. Return to base.

McKnight

We're going home!

You see where those tires are burning, all that black smoke?

Roger, I can see it, but I can't get there, over.

Harrell

Go a hundred meters past it. That's the crash.

Negative. You don't understand. It's roadblock afer roadblock. You have to find us another route. Over.

There ain't one. The only other route is all the way around the city.

Roger that.

Hoot

Kilo 6-4, this is Kilo 1-1. Request permission to move to crash site number two on foot. Over.

Green light, Kilo 1-1. Green light.

Hoot

Stop the vehicle. Let me out.
