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

Karen Hayes : No, why? What is it?

Karen Hayes : [Shocked] what?
Bill Buchanan : It just came down from the White House: the problem is one of my best people is "hamstrung." She has to work twice as hard to get through these "security measures"
Karen Hayes : They're not "security measures", their the paranoid delusions of Tom Lennox
Bill Buchanan : Is there anything you can do to help?
Karen Hayes : [Before hanging up] I can talk to the President
