Quotes 

• Sherry Palmer : [Meeting privately]  your meetings changed: that was with me

  Sherry Palmer : [while she tries to walk away]  no don't go anywhere. We need to talk

  Lynne Kresge : I don't think so

  Sherry Palmer : Oh, yes we do. You think you've connected me to Roger don't you? That's exactly what they want you to think

  Lynne Kresge : Who is "they"?

  Sherry Palmer : The people Roger's conspiring with

  Lynne Kresge : So you're confirming Roger Stanton's involved? He knew about this bomb ahead of time?

  Sherry Palmer : Oh, Roger's more involved than David could possibly know

  Lynne Kresge : The hell does that mean? This "conspiracy", what's its goal then?

  Sherry Palmer : To take over the Presidency. These people are feeding you misinformation about me because they are afraid I'll get in the way

  Lynne Kresge : If you're not involved, how did you know about this meeting?

  Sherry Palmer : I don't have to be involved to know the moves their making

  Lynne Kresge : And if you knew what Roger was doing, why the hell haven't you said anything the President?

  Sherry Palmer : Probably for the same reason your keeping this information from him. I want to have as much concrete evidence as possible

  Lynne Kresge : You could've said any of this to me back at the retreat. Why couldn't you?

  Sherry Palmer : To make a point, that's all

  Sherry Palmer : To make a point? I think this is a warning. I think you orchestrated all of this to show me how powerful you are and I believe you have your own and not the President's best interest at heart. And I will do everything in my power to make sure you don't undermine this Administration

• Lynne Kresge : Can I have a quick word with you please?

  Mike Novick : Yeah sure

  Lynne Kresge : I don't trust Sherry Palmer and I don't think she should be here

  Mike Novick : I'm up to my eyeballs trying to hide this interrogation with Roger Stanton from Washington: if you have a problem with this, deal with it yourself please

  Lynne Kresge : You know me well enough to know that this is not some battle over turf. This is about Roger Stanton

  Mike Novick : What?

  Lynne Kresge : I was waiting for the appropriate time to tell you. I wanted to be sure. Someone has approached me with evidence of a flurry of communication between Roger Stanton and Sherry Palmer and it had been over the last six months

  Mike Novick : Roger he said he met her today for the first time

  Lynne Kresge : Yes, I know

  Mike Novick : My God

  Lynne Kresge : You've known Sherry for a very long time. You know how she operates. Well this shouldn't be too much of a shock to you

  Mike Novick : [Shaking his head]  Sherry Palmer is a lot of things but a traitor to this country, I don't believe that. What kind of "communication"? By phone calls?

  Lynne Kresge : Yes, phone calls, emails, and face to face

  Mike Novick : Who's your source on this?

  Lynne Kresge : Up until I've been everything through an intermediary that I actually have a meeting with the source in about ten minutes

  Mike Novick : Where?

  Lynne Kresge : Outside. Are you telling the President?

  Mike Novick : No, he has enough on his plate already and he'd want proof anyway. You can go ahead with your meeting. Let me know what happens. Be careful

  Mike Novick : I will thank you
