Quotes
-
Admiral John Smith : [During a briefing] the USS Victory has been "detached" to carrier group alpha which currently has control of the region: the Victory will reach launch position in forty minutes
Vice President Noah Daniels : So in less than an hour, we will have made our point to the enemy?
Admiral John Smith : Yes Mr. Vice President, the V-6-11 short range tactical warhead has a blast yield of three hundred kilotons. The "message" will be loud and clear
Vice President Noah Daniels : Very good Admiral: exemplary. Tom, give us the damage and causality estimates you got from COMM PLAN?
Vice President Noah Daniels : [after he doesn't respond] Tom?
Tom Lennox : I'm sorry sir
Vice President Noah Daniels : Is there a problem?
Tom Lennox : No, this "projection" of course is based on theoretical models generated at our nuclear facility in Alamogordo, COMM PLAN estimates a high range of general damage by zone as well as by casualty numbers based on various climate models

Vice President Noah Daniels : [after entering the room] Admiral Smith, is the Victory ready to launch?
Admiral John Smith : Its seconds from optimal launch position Mr. Vice President
Vice President Noah Daniels : Good
Tom Lennox : [Walking over to him] Mr. Vice President?
Vice President Noah Daniels : Yes Tom?
Tom Lennox : I just spoke to Bill Buchanan at CTU: they've taken Gredenko into custody. Jack Bauer is questioning him now
Vice President Noah Daniels : Does Bill think there's a "chance" this could lead to something?
Tom Lennox : His "confident" that Bauer's the man for the interrogation and his hoping he'll get the answers he needs
Vice President Noah Daniels : [Amused, referring to Bill] I hope his "confidence" is justified
Admiral John Smith : [to Daniels] sir, the Victory's in position: their standing by
Vice President Noah Daniels : Proceed with the strike
Tom Lennox : [Stands up] Mr. Vice President, if I may, in light of the development at CTU, do we not want to delay this launch? And see what Bauer gets out of Gredenko?
Vice President Noah Daniels : I'm not going to delay our response based on what Gredenko may or may not reveal
Tom Lennox : But if Gredenko gives up the bombs, surely that is the desired result...
Vice President Noah Daniels : [Interrupts him] then we can consider this strike as retaliation for American lives already lost: a reminder to the world there are consequences when attacking our country
