Sherry Palmer : Hello David
President David Palmer : How did you get in here without my authorization?
Sherry Palmer : We were married for many years: many people respect that even if you don't. I need to talk to you
President David Palmer : We don't have anymore to talk about. You're not my wife anymore
Sherry Palmer : It's not about us
President David Palmer : Then what?
Sherry Palmer : Not here. I need to be alone with you
President David Palmer : You know what? Even if I were interested to hear what you have to say, today is impossible. You shouldn't have come here
Sherry Palmer : It's about your administration
President David Palmer : What about it?
Sherry Palmer : Just give me five minutes
President David Palmer : I don't have time now
Sherry Palmer : Did you order an evacuation of military personnel out of Los Angeles?
President David Palmer : Who told you that?
Sherry Palmer : Five minutes
President David Palmer : Wait here. I'll call you

President David Palmer : How did you find out about the military evacuation?
Sherry Palmer : I made some phone calls: just following up on a rumor. I can't tell you anymore than that
President David Palmer : Oh, you will tell me more and I will not ask you again
Sherry Palmer : I am not a member of your staff, I am your wife
President David Palmer : Ex-wife and you will tell me because the safety and security of this country is more important than any of your power plays
Sherry Palmer : Yeah despite everything that's happened, I love you
President David Palmer : Oh, please
Sherry Palmer : I always will and whether you want to believe it or not, everything that I have done has been at your best interest. If you won't give me a second chance at your heart, let me help in the ways you know I can and I can't help you unless you give me some idea of what you're facing. I was able to find something your own staff couldn't find. I didn't have to warn you. I came here of my own accord
President David Palmer : Terrorists have planned a strike against Los Angeles. NSA thinks it'll be sometime today
Sherry Palmer : What kind of strike?
President David Palmer : Nuclear
Sherry Palmer : Oh my God
President David Palmer : Talk to me. Come on
Sherry Palmer : I got the information about the military evacuation from someone inside the defense department
President David Palmer : Who?
Sherry Palmer : A high level staffer. His in the loop. He owed me a favor, but there's something more important. He also told me there are members of your own administration allying against you. They want control of your Presidency. That's why I came here today
President David Palmer : Who?
Sherry Palmer : People who disagree with your policies who want to impose their will on the country. There have been deals made under the table. Back room promises. Now I can keep digging: find out if you want my help
President David Palmer : If I accept your help, it won't be about us, it will be about what's doing the best for the country
Sherry Palmer : Oh, sweetheart you can call it anything you want
President David Palmer : I'll get you a secure line and a private room to make your calls
Sherry Palmer : Then I'll come to you as I find out more
President David Palmer : This had not been one of your manipulations. The stakes are too high
