Quotes 

• Curtis Manning : CTU had been compromised!

• President John Keeler : [Through video conference]  I understand we've been able to shut down ninety eight nuclear power plants?

  James Heller : Yes Sir but as of now it appears that our shutdown order will not be effective with the six remaining reactors

  President John Keeler : "Not going to be effective"? What exactly does that mean?

  James Heller : I'm afraid it means that we could have six nuclear disasters on our hands

  President John Keeler : What are the casualty projections if all six plants meltdown?

  Curtis Manning : Four hundred fifty four thousand deaths in the first twenty four hours: long range estimates are in the lone millions and that's not taking into account the resulting cancers and birth defects

  President John Keeler : Why were we able to shut down the other power plants and not these remaining six?

  Erin Driscoll : Because their still being controlled by the terrorists Sir

  President John Keeler : You mean because of the Override device they stole today?

  Erin Driscoll : Exactly: we have to find the Override device itself. It's a prototype and the terrorists have the only one in the world

  President John Keeler : Alright, then let's find it. I'm going to give the order of evacuation of those six cities. Jim, keep me posted

  James Heller : Yes. Mr. President

• Edgar Stiles : [after entering Driscoll's office with Curtis]  you got the wrong person: Sarah's not guilty of anything

  Erin Driscoll : How do you know?

  Edgar Stiles : Because I just sneaked into Marianne's system, she used Sarah's to communicate outside of CTU, made it look like Sarah's the one

  Curtis Manning : That's not possible, Sarah's work station was isolated from the subnet

  Erin Driscoll : She didn't use the subnet

  Curtis Manning : How'd she get through?

  Edgar Stiles : She used an AC power line

  Curtis Manning : What?

  Edgar Stiles : That's the last place anyone would ever look: the place it has plenty of bandwidth to carry the signal
