Quotes
-
President Allison Taylor : [Talking privately, referring to what's written on a piece of paper] is this true?
Tim Woods : I'm afraid so ma'am: details are "sketchy" but as of fifteen minutes ago, Jack Bauer stormed the safe house overwhelmed security and "took" Dana Walsh
President Allison Taylor : Do we have idea where they are?
Tim Woods : [Slightly shakes his head] a hard target search is already underway
President Allison Taylor : Your note also mentioned Charles Logan
Tim Woods : Yes ma'am his been calling and demanding to speak with you: he insists that I interrupt the press conference
-
President Allison Taylor : [Over the phone, referring to Jack kidnapping Dana Walsh] how in God's name could this have happened?
Charles Logan : The important thing is not to panic
President Allison Taylor : [Raises her voice] you "assured" me Dana Walsh would be "more secure" in the hands of your private contractors
Charles Logan : We didn't move her out of CTU solely for "security reasons" as I'm sure you remember?
President Allison Taylor : Do you have me on speaker? Pick up the damn phone
Charles Logan : Forgive me, I wasn't thinking
President Allison Taylor : Apparently, neither was I
Charles Logan : It's a little late for "buyer's remorse", especially because... I was calling with a "solution" to our current problem: Bauer may have Walsh but can't have the evidence yet, we still have a "chance" to stop him
President Allison Taylor : How?
Charles Logan : By putting "somebody" inside CTU: "someone's" whose "loyalties" aren't "split", who won't hesitate to see the mission through no matter what the cost
President Allison Taylor : I already "replaced" one director, I cannot "replace" another
Charles Logan : No, not a new director: just "someone" to supervise the manhunt for Bauer, I'm recommending Jason Pillar
President Allison Taylor : Your aid?
Charles Logan : His federal bureau trained, he was second in command at DIA during the Daniels Administration and he made a name for himself in Afghanistan chasing high value targets behind enemy lines
Charles Logan : [When she doesn't respond] of course if you have a better idea, I'll gladly take a step back
President Allison Taylor : [after thinking it over] look, I'll tell Tim Woods, that I support you making "operational" change but that's it: no more excuses
