Quotes 

• Tom Lennox : You really should work from medical Sir: at least they can monitor you from there

  President Wayne Palmer : I'm fine

  Tom Lennox : I don't think you are Sir. Neither does Dr. Welton

  President Wayne Palmer : Putting myself under medical supervision might give the Vice President a pretext to try to take a run at my job

  Tom Lennox : You don't need to worry about that Sir

  President Wayne Palmer : What "exactly" do you have on Vice President Daniels?

  Tom Lennox : I have "the truth", Sir

  President Wayne Palmer : Now's the time I need to know what that is

  Tom Lennox : It is a tape recording of Vice President Daniels conspiring with Lisa Miller to commit perjury at your competency hearing

  President Wayne Palmer : I'd love to hear that as soon as possible

  Karen Hayes : [while rushing into the room]  I have good news: CTU has recovered the two remaining suitcase nukes

  President Wayne Palmer : [Surprised]  what?

  Karen Hayes : Just a few minutes ago, I just got off the phone with Bill, his waiting to brief you as soon as you're ready

  Tom Lennox : What about Fayed?

  Karen Hayes : He and his men were killed during the assault

  President Wayne Palmer : Then it's over

  Tom Lennox : It certainly seems so Sir, congratulations

  President Wayne Palmer : The American people should know that we're no longer at a risk of a nuclear attack

  Karen Hayes : I'll have the press corp. down here in thirty minutes

  President Wayne Palmer : No, we're going to do this from upstairs: the press room

  Tom Lennox : Shouldn't we wait for clearance from Secret Service?

  President Wayne Palmer : No, there's no need for anyone of us "hiding" underground any longer. Inform Secret Service that we will be leaving the bunker, we are returning to the Oval Office

• Dr. Arthur Welton : [after entering the Oval Office, referring to Palmer's health]  all signs indicate the President has suffered a cerebral hemorrhage brought on by injuries he sustained earlier in the day

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Meaning he should've never been brought out of the coma

  Karen Hayes : However detrimental that decision was to his health, I'm "confident" that in light of his actions today, he would continue to support it

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I'm glad you're so confident Karen, it was your reckless action that resulted in his stroke

  Dr. Arthur Welton : [to Daniels]  sir, it's unclear if the stroke is evitable but in any event, I'll take full responsibility

  Tom Lennox : Excuse me, now's not the time for recrimination: self imposed or otherwise. When will we know the extent of the damage and the "prospects" for recovery?

  Dr. Arthur Welton : After the MRI, the President is being transported to Bethesda as we speak. Based on my "impressions", the damage was severe, I don't think we can expect the President to regain consciousness any time soon

  Lisa Miller : So it is incontestable Wayne Palmer won't be able to continue his duties as Commander in Chief

  Vice President Noah Daniels : There's no denying that this is a great tragedy for the nation and for those of us that know the President personally: just take care of him doctor

  Dr. Arthur Welton : [Before leaving]  of course, excuse me

• Lisa Miller : There's "something" on the agenda I think you want immediate clarification on

  Vice President Noah Daniels : What's that?

  Lisa Miller : [Hands him a piece of paper]  Wayne Palmer just issued a "finding" about allowing Jack Bauer to hand classified Russian technology over to the Chinese in exchange for the return of a "covertly" held hostage

  Vice President Noah Daniels : [to Karen, holding the piece of paper]  can you explain this?

  Karen Hayes : Yes, that was a "personal request" from Jack Bauer to the President: they have a long standing relationship and as Jack Bauer was largely responsible for recovering the suitcase nukes today, the President wanted to honor his service to this country

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I asked you to explain it, not "excuse" it

  Karen Hayes : Understood, Bauer has "guaranteed" that the technology will not fall into the hands of the Chinese, it will only be used to "secure" the hostage

  Tom Lennox : Incidentally sir, the hostage in question is Audrey Raines: the daughter of James Heller

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Even Jack Bauer can't "guarantee" that outcome. Now I am "happy" to honor Agent Bauer's service to this country but not at the risk of giving classified technology to the Chinese and "potentially" damaging our relationship with Russia in the process: you tell CTU to stop Bauer immediately

  Karen Hayes : Sir, the President expressly...

  Vice President Noah Daniels : [Interrupts her]  that's enough for now

• Karen Hayes : [Over the phone]  hi, it's me

  Bill Buchanan : How's President Palmer?

  Karen Hayes : Not good: the doctor says he has a cerebral hemorrhage. They don't know the extent of the damage but obviously his not able to serve, Daniels is going to "assume" the Office and the first "wave of his hand", is he wants to stop Jack's operation. Jack has to return to CTU as soon as possible with the component

  Bill Buchanan : Does the Vice President understand the "circumstances" under which Wayne Palmer agreed to this?

  Karen Hayes : No, his not that kind of man, he doesn't operate in "shades of gray"

  Bill Buchanan : Does he understand Jack's not going to give up without a fight?

  Karen Hayes : You just have to get Jack back to CTU as soon as possible ok?

  Bill Buchanan : [Before hanging up]  ok I'll take care of it
