Quotes 

• Bill Buchanan : [after Milo enters Bill's office]  what is it?

  Milo Pressman : Nadia, she's falling behind on her tasks: what's going on with her?

  Bill Buchanan : Nothing, petition her workload and hand some of it to another analyst

  Milo Pressman : I've only got her working on one process...

  Bill Buchanan : [Interrupts him]  she's doing something directly for me, just do it please?

  Milo Pressman : With all due respect, is there something going on here you don't want me to know about?

  Bill Buchanan : Yes, there is: either give Nadia enough time to finish the work or give the work to somebody else

  Milo Pressman : Sir, I'm technical leader on the floor, if you want me to do my job effectively, I need to what's happening

  Bill Buchanan : Because Nadia is of Middle Eastern descent, she's been flagged by Homeland Security

  Milo Pressman : That's ridiculous: she's lived in this country since she was two years old, a registered republican for crying out loud

  Bill Buchanan : You're wasting your breath. There's nothing I can do about this right now, just let it go will you please?

  Milo Pressman : No sir, I don't see how we can just "let it go." Aren't we still trying to find four suitcase nukes that might still be in the city? I need everyone on the floor where I can get full speed

  Bill Buchanan : I understand that now get back to work

• Morris O'Brian : [Sarcastically to Nadia, referring to the speed of her getting her work done]  could we go a little slower? There's no rush

  Nadia Yassir : Morris, I'm going as fast as I can: why don't you go back to your station? I'll send it over as soon as I'm ready

  Morris O'Brian : No, I'm curious as to why it's taking you five minutes to do something that should take... ten seconds

  Milo Pressman : [Walking up to them]  because I borrowed two of her processors to run a back channel: she's running on twenty percent

  Morris O'Brian : Oh, yeah? Then why didn't "someone" tell me this?

  Milo Pressman : I just did

  Morris O'Brian : [to Nadia while walking away]  fine. Don't keep any secrets from me darling, we're all on the same side alright?

  Nadia Yassir : Why'd you lie for me?

  Milo Pressman : I talked to Buchanan

  Nadia Yassir : [Referring to government limiting her access because of her ethnicity]  It's frustrating

  Milo Pressman : I'm sorry

  Nadia Yassir : [after he starts typing on the computer]  what're you doing?

  Milo Pressman : I'm logging you in under my user ID

  Nadia Yassir : That's illegal

  Milo Pressman : You didn't do it, I did

  Nadia Yassir : Thank you
