Quotes 

• Olivia Taylor : [Referring to his gunshot wound]  how's your arm?

  Aaron Pierce : I should be back on my feet in a couple hours, and you ma'am?

  Olivia Taylor : It's nothing that a little Aspirin will take care of. I want to thank you for what you did: you took a bullet for me, you saved my life

  Aaron Pierce : There's no need to thank me ma'am

  Olivia Taylor : Right, you were just doing your job. Well, only this case it wasn't "really" your job, since you retired four years ago

  Aaron Pierce : Yes ma'am that's true

  Olivia Taylor : Do you mind if I ask you why? Did it have to do with Martha Logan?

  Aaron Pierce : Martha and I were "close"

  Olivia Taylor : It must've been hard for you, what happened to her

  Aaron Pierce : I prefer not to talk about it

  Olivia Taylor : I'm sorry

  Aaron Pierce : You don't have to apologize

  Olivia Taylor : Well, I hope you won't be a stranger Agent Pierce

  Aaron Pierce : Thank you, and it's "Aaron"

  Olivia Taylor : Ok Aaron. You get some rest

• Ethan Kanin : [Talking privately]  the blunt fact of the matter is this Administration just suffered some terrible losses and we need help: the President and I would like you to consider coming on board "special advisor" for the President

  Olivia Taylor : I... have to say... I'm a little surprised

  Ethan Kanin : Surprised?

  Olivia Taylor : That you'd sign off on this

  Ethan Kanin : Your mother said she's ready to put the past behind her and so am I

  Olivia Taylor : I overstepped my bounds during the campaign and I was wrong

  Ethan Kanin : I'm glad you see it that way

  Olivia Taylor : But it's not the past that "concerns" me: it's what's happening right now and what's been happening ever since my mother took Office

  Ethan Kanin : [Confused]  excuse me?

  Olivia Taylor : Do you think any of this would happen if my mother had a Chief Advisor who knew what the hell was going on in her Administration?

  Ethan Kanin : What're you talking about?

  Olivia Taylor : Her government was corrupted on every level and it all happened right under your nose: even you have to "admit", it's an unconscionable failure on your part. Frankly, I'm surprised you haven't tendered your resignation

  Ethan Kanin : You have no right to speak to me that way. You don't know what you're talking about, you don't have the "facts"

  Olivia Taylor : I intend to get the "facts." I'm going to find out "exactly" who failed my mother and I'm going to make sure that person is never in a position to do it again

  Olivia Taylor : [Before getting up to leave]  excuse me
