Jesse は殺されたWalton Weeksと以前メアリーランドのテレビ局で働いていたJay WadeにWaltonのことを質問した。
"You know," Wade said, "I don't know. When I knew him he was a damn weatherman, you know. I never thought much about him being smart or dumb. After I left Maryland, and he got to be a national figure--I mean, who knows who wrote that column or the little editorial set pieces on his TV show. He seemed quick enough on the call-ins and guest interviews."
