Chloe O'Brian : Yeah, she tested positive: in the medical sense, she's going to die
Tony Almeida : [after sighing] thanks
Chloe O'Brian : You're not going to tell him are you?
Tony Almeida : Yeah, I have to

Adam Kaufman : [Briefing CTU staff on a monitor] these are the quarantine zones that were set up an hour ago: since then two new symptomatic patients were discovered heading out of Silver Lake and one in Hancock Park. Those two new cases generated five new quarantine zone areas: that's three percent of the city. If containment isn't total, it'll grow exponentially
Tony Almeida : We're all tired, I know that and some of you have been working twenty-four straight. I don't have to tell you how serious the situation is but we can't drift. If there ever was a worst case scenario, this is it, we're in it. Everyone has to stay on point, we switch from "prevention" to "containment." The virus is out

Tony Almeida : [During a conference call] Mr. President?
President David Palmer : Mr. Almeida, I understand we may have a way to locate this man Stephen Saunders?
Tony Almeida : Yes Sir, we do, however my technical staff just informed me to do so properly, it may take fifteen minutes, possibly longer
President David Palmer : So there's no way to get to him in the next few minutes?
Jack Bauer : No Sir, there's not
President David Palmer : Ok gentlemen: time is upon us, having considered all the possible scenarios I see no choice but to "draw our line in the sand." I will not given in to Saunders' latest demand
Jack Bauer : Mr. President, I hope you understand that leaves us only one option and that's to use Stephen Saunders' daughter as a hostage, and hope that'll stop him
President David Palmer : I understand, alright gentlemen get to it
Wayne Palmer : [after ending the conference call] are you sure we're doing the right thing?
President David Palmer : The only thing I'm sure of is we cannot let this country be taken over by this mad man

Tony Almeida : How do you want to do this?
Jack Bauer : How long do we have to keep him on the line so we can run a trace?
Tony Almeida : About a minute
Jack Bauer : Ok: we'll need to cover our bases, we'll use Jane to try to keep him on the line: if we have to jump in, we will
Tony Almeida : Alright, I'll initiate the trace, you tell Jane what we need her to do
Jack Bauer : I'll get back to you

Adam Kaufman : [Protesting] I did not forget to separate those channels Tony
Chloe O'Brian : Yes, you did
Tony Almeida : Alright, look we don't have time for this. We have teams on the ground that are depending on us, now did you back up the satellite data?
Chloe O'Brian : Yes, I re-programmed almost everything, we lost about thirty seconds
Adam Kaufman : [while checking on his computer] we didn't lose anything, I can prove it to you right now

Tony Almeida : [Over the phone] who is this?
Stephen Saunders : Its Stephen Saunders: before you make tactical errors, I'd like to give you an update on the situation
Tony Almeida : I'm listening
Stephen Saunders : I need you to move to a private area that has direct COMM with your teams on site
Tony Almeida : Why would I do that?
Stephen Saunders : Open a web circuit to IP 257 .21. 116. 5 and you'll find out. That's IP 257 .21. 116. 5, just trust me. By the way, I'd like to offer you congratulations on your wife eluding infection from the virus
Tony Almeida : How do you know about my wife?
Stephen Saunders : Get on that site. I know exactly what they're doing to her but I did instruct them to keep her barely functional so we can return her to you
Tony Almeida : [after seeing Michelle being tortured on the website] I'll kill you, you son of a bitch. I'll rip your damn throat out you hear me?
Stephen Saunders : We don't have time so I'm sorry if I'll brush past that remark because in fifteen seconds Michelle will be dead if you don't do what I say
Stephen Saunders : [while looking at his mobile computer] there are five agents watching the northeast exit of this building: four of the ground, sniper on the rooftop next door. I'm assuming their operating as an "assumed" unit, I want you to give them a code nine, send them to the front entrance now
Tony Almeida : Jack Bauer is running the operation, I don't have the authority to do that
Stephen Saunders : No authority? Really?
