Mac and Judge Harry T. Stone in “Unfinished Business”

Mac

[hangs up the phone] They said they might be able to get a hostage negotiator over here in... [checks watch] Two hours.

[aghast] Two hours?

Mac

They said all their people are tied up right now.

Tied up with what?

Mac

Rope. They're being held hostage by a militant splinter faction of Up with People.

[shakes head] It was only a matter of time.
