Quotes

President Allison Taylor : [Being forced to read Juma's statement while it's streamed over the internet] this is the President of the United States: six hours ago, I ordered our Armed Forces to invade Sangala. Without warning and without provocation, this attack was a criminal act motivated solely by America's desire to assert its power and influence

Ethan Kanin : [while hugging] thank God your alright, how you feeling?
President Allison Taylor : Like I just woke up from a nightmare, it was unbelievable
Ethan Kanin : I can't even imagine: how's Olivia?
President Allison Taylor : She's shaken up but she's going to be ok
Ethan Kanin : I'm glad to hear it
President Allison Taylor : We lost some good people tonight, we're going to need all the help we can get. I'm thinking about bringing Olivia on as a "special advisor"
Ethan Kanin : Madam President, I can understand you not wanting to be "separated" from your daughter after what's happened
President Allison Taylor : Especially after what's "happened." We need people who can do the job
Ethan Kanin : I'm not disputing Olivia's competence but she's also a political liability: nobody's forgotten what she did during the campaign. Leaking damaging personal information about your opponent to the press
President Allison Taylor : Olivia knows what she did was wrong
Ethan Kanin : She almost cost you the election
President Allison Taylor : She's changed: we talked about it, she's accepting full responsibility, she has learned from her mistakes. I'm willing to put the past behind us so we can move ahead
Ethan Kanin : I still think it's a mistake
President Allison Taylor : I don't care what you think
President Allison Taylor : [Regretting what she just said] I am so sorry. You know I don't mean that but I've made up my mind. I want Olivia to join my Administration and I want it to come from you
Ethan Kanin : [Surprised] me?
President Allison Taylor : You "offering" her this position would be a good way to extend an "olive branch." I need the two of you to make peace
Ethan Kanin : [Before standing up] alright madam President, I'll talk to her
President Allison Taylor : Thank you Ethan, I understand Agent Walker was trying to reach me?
Ethan Kanin : That's right but I spoke to her
President Allison Taylor : What did she want?
Ethan Kanin : Just some "procedural" matters, I took care of it
