D.B. Woodside: Wayne Palmer

Quotes 

  • Wayne Palmer : [Over the phone]  what's the latest on the bio threat?

    Ryan Chappelle : Kyle Singer, whom we believe is the only carrier of the virus, has been taken into custody

    Wayne Palmer : Are you telling there's no longer a risk of this virus being released?

    Ryan Chappelle : That's what I'm saying

    Wayne Palmer : Oh thank God

    Ryan Chappelle : Yes, we still have the Bauer "situation" to deal with

    Wayne Palmer : What's the status on that?

    Ryan Chappelle : Bauer has taken Salazar from the prison in a helicopter: we have him in our sights but are unable to communicate with him

    Wayne Palmer : What are you planning on doing?

    Ryan Chappelle : Salazar cannot be allowed to leave the country. I'm afraid the only alternative is to shoot him down

    Wayne Palmer : Mr. Chappelle, my brother is not going to like that alternative

    Ryan Chappelle : I understand, that's why I'm calling. I don't want to fire on Bauer without the President's permission

    Wayne Palmer : Yeah well but the President is in the middle of a televised debate right now so I'm sorry it's going to have to wait

    Ryan Chappelle : It can't wait, in a few minutes their helicopter is going to be over downtown LA and will be unable to shoot it down without risking significant civilian casualties

    Wayne Palmer : When do I get back to you?

    Ryan Chappelle : Soon, otherwise Bauer will be able to land that chopper and disappear with Salazar into the population

    Wayne Palmer : [Before hanging up]  yeah

  • Wayne Palmer : [Talking privately]  I'm sorry but we don't have a lot of time here: so what do you want to do about shooting down this chopper?

    President David Palmer : I can't give the order to kill Jack Bauer

    Wayne Palmer : You can't let Salazar go either

    President David Palmer : Is it Salazar your worried about? Or are you worried about if Jack Bauer lives, he'll talk our arrangement?

    Wayne Palmer : It's a fair question. To be blunt, yeah I am worried about that but you still have to think about national security. I mean Salazar not only runs a drug cartel but his connected to terrorist organizations and he has proven to us today that he has the infrastructure to launch a biological attack on our soil. Now we can't allow him to do that again

    President David Palmer : Jack Bauer sacrificed everything to prevent that attack

    Wayne Palmer : Jack Bauer volunteered. Jack Bauer knew the risks, you've got to make a decision as if it wasn't Jack Bauer on that helicopter. You have to do what's right for this country. Listen, this is your call but you've got to make it now

  • Wayne Palmer : [after hanging up the phone]  that was CTU: they still haven't found Bauer or Salazar. LAPD is placing a net around the area where the chopper landed

    President David Palmer : Hopefully they'll be picked up without incident

    Wayne Palmer : Yeah it's probably more likely Bauer sneaked through. Listen, you're going to have to stop thinking about his welfare for a moment. Bauer breaking Salazar out of prison is already leaked to the press, your going have to go out there and explain that is why you ended this debate and explicitly denounce what Bauer did

    President David Palmer : So Jack puts his life on the line to stop the virus and we hang him out to dry

    Wayne Palmer : We cannot allow anyone to know that we sanctioned what he did. That would do reputable damage to you, to your office. Now you know what I'm saying is true and I'm sorry but you're going to have to let him go

  • Dr. Anne Packard : Is everything ok?

    President David Palmer : We had to make some fast choices and I couldn't do that when I was on stage. Yes, everything's ok now

    Dr. Anne Packard : You sure?

    President David Palmer : It's just "damage control"

    Dr. Anne Packard : I'm sorry, I still can't believe Keeler would say those lies in an national debate

    President David Palmer : You don't have to apologize for anything: we didn't "sink" to their level and in the long run, it's going to pay off

    Dr. Anne Packard : I hope your right

    President David Palmer : I'm more concerned about you. You've only been brought into this because of me

    Dr. Anne Packard : I'm fine

    President David Palmer : Yes you are

    Wayne Palmer : [Walking up to them, to David]  Jerry's scheduled a press conference. Their expecting your statement this evening

    President David Palmer : Fine

    Wayne Palmer : We've got to give a response to Keeler's accusations about Anne

    President David Palmer : What did the quick polls tell us?

    Wayne Palmer : Well, I'm not going to lie to you. We got hit hard, voters who were on the fence may have just fallen into Keeler's camp

    Dr. Anne Packard : That is ridiculous, once they find out Ted was lying...

    Wayne Palmer : [Interrupts her]  and how are they supposed to do that? I mean it's "he said, she said." This is politics, not medicine so do me a favor and stay out of it

    Dr. Anne Packard : Stay out of it? I am "it"

    President David Palmer : [Stands up]  that's enough

    President David Palmer : [to Wayne]  you have to be patient, Anne's not going anywhere and we're not changing our strategy

    Wayne Palmer : David, we really...

    President David Palmer : [Interrupts him]  right now, it's Mr. President

    Wayne Palmer : [Before walking away]  yes Sir, Mr. President
