Demore Barnes: Wayne Martin

Quotes 

• David Koresh : This morning, I woke up with this funny feeling right here in my gut. And it took me some time to put a name on that sucker; I thought I ate something bad, but that wasn't it. Then I realized what it was. Joy. But how could that be out here in the middle of nowhere? No running water, no stuff. In this rickety old house, out here in the middle of the Texas plains? Joy? See, I don't know about you, but I wasn't raised out of joy. I didn't have much joy growing up. But now, after all this time... how is it a man can find joy here? Wayne. You got your law degree from Harvard. Was that enough for you, Wayne?

  Wayne Martin : Nope.

  David Koresh : No. Mike. You ran your own pool company. Was that enough?

  Mike Schroeder : Sure wasn't.

  David Koresh : "Sure wasn't." Steve. Professor of theology. Amazing. You lived with your wife Judy in paradise on the beach in Hawaii. Enough?

  Steve Schneider : Not even close.

  David Koresh : "Not even close"! See, that's the big trick. It's never enough, no matter what you do. So how is it a man can find joy here? I'll tell you. Joy doesn't come from having something, or being something. It comes from becoming. Becoming more than you are today.

• David Koresh : Hey, where y'all going? You know I have a show tonight, right?

  Steve Schneider : McMahon had an extra spot at the gun show in Austin tomorrow, so... I'll send Paul.

  David Koresh : I mean, aren't we waiting on permits, anyways?

  Wayne Martin : Came in a couple of days ago. We're all set.

  David Koresh : Hey, uh, try and sell some of those vests. I know they're not moving, but...

  Steve Schneider : Have you seen those vests?

  David Koresh : I have seen the vests, yeah.

  [Wayne takes one out to "model"] 

  David Koresh : Yes, Wayne, I've seen them.

  Steve Schneider : They're pretty ugly.

  David Koresh : The women are proud of 'em, so just try and move 'em. And remind Paul we're not just in it for the money. There's a lot of lost souls at those gun shows. Mission first.

• Wayne Martin : We're never gonna move those vests.

  Steve Schneider : Not a chance. But you heard the man. We gotta try.

  Wayne Martin : Maybe Paul can sell them to some garbage cans on the way home.

  Steve Schneider : [snickering]  At a discount.
