Matthews 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.

Col. Matthews

Super Six-Four, you all right?

Durant

This is Super Six-Four. We're good.

Matthews

You sure? You look like you got clipped pretty good.

Durant

Instrument panels are okay. No, we're good. Got a slight vibration in the pedals, but we're good.

Matthews

All right, put her down on the airfield, Super Six-Four. Have it checked out just to be safe.

Durant

Roger. (To copilot) Ray, I'm getting a lot of movement in these pedals. Check the systems again.

Durant

We lost the tail rotor, it's gone. Six-four is going down! Six-four is going in hard! Six-four is going down! We're going down! RAY!

Get Struecker's column back out there. They need to get to Durant's crash site fast. I want 'em out of there. All of them.

C-2, I have two Delta snipers, Shughart and Gordon, volunteering to secure crash site two. Over.

Col. Matthews

No, Super Six-Two, negative that request. Can't risk another bird. We don't see anything moving down there now. We don't even know if anyone's alive. A ground team is being organized to go in now.

E.T.A. on ground team? Over.

Matthews

Ah, unknown, not long. Do what you can from the air.
