Quotes
-
Tony Almeida : Why don't we try an amplification module?
Gael Ortega : I've already cycled through it three times: it's not a weak signal, there's no signal
Tony Almeida : What do we think happened here?
Michelle Dessler : There's a strong possibility that Jack's cover might've been blown
Tony Almeida : There's no indication that his transponder's been found or that his cover's been blown. Maybe his in a place where there's no signal or his transponder's been broken?
Gael Ortega : Partial damage may have knocked it to a different frequency
Tony Almeida : Let's run a scan
Michelle Dessler : I'm doing that now. I'm only a third way through the spectrum but so far no luck

Michelle Dessler : [Talking privately] what is it?
Kim Bauer : It's actually about Tony. Look, I don't know if his...
Michelle Dessler : You don't know if his what?
Kim Bauer : Well enough to do his job
Michelle Dessler : He was shot a few hours ago: his not going to be working at full capacity
Kim Bauer : I know but what if he misses something important? I mean his running things
Michelle Dessler : What happened?
Kim Bauer : He asked me to finalize the COMM files but he forgot to give me the format codes and just before he chewed me out for forgetting something he thought he told me except he never told me
Michelle Dessler : His under a lot of stress, we all are
Kim Bauer : That's my point, your his wife we trust that his in command and if Tony can't do the job, somebody has to tell Chappelle and I think that someone should be you

Tony Almeida : I just checked all the NSA logs: there are no satellites going through the area we think Jack's in
Michelle Dessler : I'll check the flight paths just in case
Tony Almeida : Just in case what? I just checked it
Michelle Dessler : There have been other mistakes today
Tony Almeida : Mistakes? That you think I made?
Michelle Dessler : Sweetheart, you should still be in the hospital. if you're not a hundred percent, you should step down
Tony Almeida : I'm fine
Michelle Dessler : And after what you've through today, I don't see how...
Tony Almeida : [Interrupts her out of anger] I said I'm fine, end of discussion please

Michelle Dessler : [while in his office] I don't think Tony should be here right now
Ryan Chappelle : My understanding is that his not in any imminent danger
Michelle Dessler : It's not that. I've had reports that his been forgetful: missing things
Ryan Chappelle : Like what?
Michelle Dessler : Key information, format codes, things are causing delays. On any other day I wouldn't be worried about this but I'm just not sure his up to it today
Ryan Chappelle : If I pull him now, that sets us back too. No one can replace what he does, he, Gael, and Jack have been working on this from the beginning. Unless you think his mistakes have been significant enough?
Michelle Dessler : I do or else I wouldn't be brining this to you
Ryan Chappelle : Alright, let me wrap up this call and I'll get into it
Michelle Dessler : Thank you

Tony Almeida : [after entering his office] you wanted to see me?
Ryan Chappelle : Yeah
Tony Almeida : [Crosses his arms] what's going on?
Ryan Chappelle : I asked you here because your competency has been brought into question
Tony Almeida : By who?
Michelle Dessler : By me. An employee came to me with some concerns
Tony Almeida : An employee?
Ryan Chappelle : Kim Bauer
Michelle Dessler : And I felt I needed to address them
Tony Almeida : With Ryan, you didn't come to me first
Michelle Dessler : I tried to talk to you, you didn't...
Ryan Chappelle : [Interrupts her] that's enough
Tony Almeida : The point is that their wrong. I am fit for duty: completely
Ryan Chappelle : [Before turning off the monitor to test Tony's competency] alright, when you entered the room, the monitor was on. Tell me what it showed
Tony Almeida : [Scoffs] on the left side was a C scan of the country indicating an ongoing investigation in Florida, New York, and Montana. On the right side was an all clear report from the Austin branch
Ryan Chappelle : That's correct, it still doesn't ease my mind considering the "slips" you've made
Tony Almeida : What "slips"?
Ryan Chappelle : Michelle?
Michelle Dessler : You thought you gave Kim the signature on the frequency scans: you didn't
Tony Almeida : Not verbally no. I put it on her in-screen fifteen minutes before I talked to her. Anything else?
Michelle Dessler : She said you didn't load the format codes onto the grid on time
Tony Almeida : No, I didn't load the codes onto "her" grid. I put them in the shared volume, on time. Check it
Michelle Dessler : [after using Ryan's computer to confirm] it's there
Ryan Chappelle : Alright, I'm sorry. We're done here
Tony Almeida : [Before leaving] good
Ryan Chappelle : You wasted time we don't have
