Quotes 

• Miles Papazian : [after walking into her office]  Vladimir Bierko has regained consciousness but we're still waiting for the medical assessment to be finished before we can interrogate him

  Karen Hayes : Let me know when they give us the go ahead

  Miles Papazian : [Handing her the file]  final protocol shifts: you can tell Washington the transfer authority from CTU to Homeland Security is officially complete

  Karen Hayes : [Dismissively]  Ok

  Miles Papazian : Two hours ahead of schedule, that is remarkable

  Karen Hayes : I'm sorry, my head is somewhere else

  Miles Papazian : Where?

  Karen Hayes : We gave the President Bauer's location over an hour ago. We should've heard something by now

  Miles Papazian : The military is handling Bauer

  Karen Hayes : Yes I know, this doesn't make any sense: the President insisted we redirect our focus from Henderson to Bauer. We find Bauer, and then he hands the mission over to the military

  Miles Papazian : We're out of that loop

• Karen Hayes : [Sternly]  why did you let Chloe escape?

  Shari Rothenberg : [after being escorted to Karen's office by security]  she intimidated me

  Karen Hayes : She intimidated you? Sit down: you are in a great deal of trouble. You had better start talking to me now

  Shari Rothenberg : She said she'd recommend me for psychiatric evaluation, I'd lose my job. I'm sorry, there's something wrong with me I know that. I'd probably see someone...

  Karen Hayes : [Interrupts her]  did Chloe tell you why she was helping Audrey Raines and Bauer?

  Shari Rothenberg : She thinks Jack is innocent

  Karen Hayes : Based on what?

  Shari Rothenberg : Based on an absurd idea that President Logan framed Bauer. She even said President Logan being involved in the assassination of David Palmer. I mean... can you believe her?

• Mike Novick : [Over the phone, after looking at his watch]  how are things going over there?

  Karen Hayes : It's a bit of a rough transition from CTU to Homeland but we're getting through it

  Mike Novick : That's good to hear, what'd you need?

  Karen Hayes : I need some clarification: we were sent over here on a directive from the White House but we've been "exclusively" dealing with Vice President Gardener until about two hours ago

  Mike Novick : What happened two hours ago?

  Karen Hayes : The President called me himself and ordered me to arrest Jack Bauer on evidence he was unwilling to share with me

  Mike Novick : Yes, I know about that

  Karen Hayes : Have you seen the evidence?

  Mike Novick : No, actually I haven't

  Karen Hayes : Who has seen it?

  Mike Novick : I don't have a good answer to that

  Karen Hayes : Are you telling me you're not in the loop?

  Mike Novick : Actually I don't think there is a loop: the President is keeping his own "counsel" at the moment

  Karen Hayes : That's a first

  Mike Novick : Yes, it is

  Karen Hayes : Is there anything else you want to tell me?

  Mike Novick : Nothing I can say with any "authority." All I know is that it's been a strange night

  Karen Hayes : I see

  Mike Novick : I wish I could be more helpful

  Karen Hayes : [Before hanging up]  no, actually you've been very helpful, thank you
