Quotes
-
President David Palmer : [after watching Jack's prerecorded video] keeping me in the dark on a matter of national security is inexcusable
Tony Almeida : [Over the phone] we were trying to protect you Sir
President David Palmer : I know what you were trying to do and it was a mistake: and you and your colleagues will take responsibility for it when this is over
Tony Almeida : Yes Sir, I understand
President David Palmer : Where's Bauer now?
Tony Almeida : In Northern Mexico. His setting a meeting between the Salazar's and the Ukrainians who are selling the virus
President David Palmer : When is this meeting expected to take place?
Tony Almeida : In the next few hours Sir. Mr. President, I'm requesting your permission to activate the interdiction plan
President David Palmer : Under the circumstances I don't have a choice but to say yes Mr. Almeida. But even if this plan works flawlessly, you haven't heard the last of it
President David Palmer : [to Wayne after he hangs up with Tony] I don't like decisions being taken out of my hands
Wayne Palmer : Well, some decisions you want to keep as far away from as you can
President David Palmer : Not this decision, it's too important. Jack Bauer had no right to keep me out of the loop
Wayne Palmer : I disagree. Bauer protected you as he should have now when this is over, you're probably going have to punish him but while you're punishing him know this: he did do the right thing

President David Palmer : Have you seen or heard from Anne?
Wayne Palmer : Not for some time: why?
President David Palmer : I can't reach her
Wayne Palmer : Is this about your health?
President David Palmer : No, I'm concerned about her. She was pretty "ripped up" after the debate
Wayne Palmer : We're all pretty "ripped up" here. Listen, this allegation by Anne's ex-husband is no small bump in the road. Now I've been thinking about this and there may be no way to defend ourselves against Keeler's accusation that Anne was involved in something illegal
President David Palmer : You have to do better than that
Wayne Palmer : I know you like to deal with things head on but I think the best course of action for right now is to be evasive. So if the press brings it up you make it clear that you're not going to answer any questions that you're going to wait for all the facts to come in as should they
Wayne Palmer : You may be right but in the meantime, I need you to find Anne. The reporters are going to chasing her and she's not up to this
Wayne Palmer : I'll put Perry on it
President David Palmer : Thank you
-
President David Palmer : [after talking to Anne over the phone] Ted Packard just committed suicide and he did it in front of Anne
Wayne Palmer : Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I don't mean to sound callous but what was she doing with him?
President David Palmer : He wanted to give her letters which apparently proves she's innocent
Wayne Palmer : Are you serious?
President David Palmer : She's going to bring them over in a little while
Wayne Palmer : [Relieved] I guess that's some kind of silver lining. I know I've been somewhat hard on Anne but she cleaned up her own mess and I respect that. Maybe she's learning what it takes to be in this "game" after all?

Wayne Palmer : I just got off the phone with CTU. Bauer's near a place called Las Nieves. Delta teams are scrambling now
President David Palmer : When does CTU expect to intercept the virus from the Ukrainians?
Wayne Palmer : As soon as Bauer gives them the signal. Tony Almeida said their giving us updates every fifteen minutes
Wayne Palmer : [after answering his phone then handing it to him] Wayne Palmer, yeah hold on. David, its Anne she says it's important
President David Palmer : [Over the phone] Anne?
Dr. Anne Packard : Its Ted: he just committed suicide
President David Palmer : Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?
Dr. Anne Packard : No, not really no. I was with him when he did it
President David Palmer : What were you doing there?
Dr. Anne Packard : He asked to see me, he said he was sorry and wanted to make things right
President David Palmer : Did you call the police?
Dr. Anne Packard : Yes, they're here now
President David Palmer : What can I do to help?
Dr. Anne Packard : here's something I need to give you, something Ted wanted me to give you
President David Palmer : What's that?
Dr. Anne Packard : It's letters exonerating me from any connection to the falsified research data. That's why I came here in the first place, he wanted to give them to me
President David Palmer : And you have these letters?
Dr. Anne Packard : Yes I do. So I'll be in the clear and hopefully it puts an end to the negative fallout to you as well
President David Palmer : That's second to your well being
Dr. Anne Packard : I'll be ok. I'll come over as soon as I'm done here
President David Palmer : [Before hanging up] good, I'll see you then
-
President David Palmer : How are you holding up?
Dr. Anne Packard : Fine
Wayne Palmer : [after looking over the letters Anne handed him] this good: this is very good, this clears up everything
Dr. Anne Packard : Yes it does
Wayne Palmer : Once these get authenticated, we'll take them to the press you'll be off the hook and Keeler should be hoisted up on it
Dr. Anne Packard : I thought you'd be pleased
Wayne Palmer : Anne, listen I'm sorry about Ted. I really am and if there's anything I can do, anything at all please let me know
Dr. Anne Packard : Thank you
President David Palmer : [after Wayne leaves] Anne?
Dr. Anne Packard : I'm going to be alright. Something came out of this and suddenly it became so clear to me
President David Palmer : What was clear?
Dr. Anne Packard : I don't know how to say it but just to say it. I think we need to end things
President David Palmer : After what's just happened, after what's been happening all day I can understand why you want some time apart
Dr. Anne Packard : It's not about time apart
President David Palmer : Don't do this...
Dr. Anne Packard : [Interrupts him] it's true this day has been awful but it just confirms something that I've been feeling for a while. I can't live in your world, the things people do to each other. The things people have to do in order to survive. I can't
President David Palmer : That's exactly why I need you
Dr. Anne Packard : You need someone who can stand beside you, not someone that stands back and watches, maybe she passes judgment on things she doesn't really understand. I'm sorry, you are the finest man I have ever known and Wayne, God bless him. His just what you need and I'm so glad you have him and it's not for me
