Quotes
-
Bill Buchanan : [Over the phone] are you on your way to the Consulate?
Jack Bauer : Yes
Bill Buchanan : Before you get there, you need to know something: there was an assassination attempt on President Palmer. He was wounded but we don't know the extent of his injuries yet
Jack Bauer : My God, how did this happen?
Bill Buchanan : Details are still coming in, Secret Service thinks it was Assad
Jack Bauer : What?
Bill Buchanan : They think he smuggled in some kind of explosive device into the White House bunker
Jack Bauer : That doesn't make sense, Assad was working with the President to stop Fayed
Bill Buchanan : That's what he "said" he was doing
Jack Bauer : He wasn't lying
Bill Buchanan : His dead: it doesn't matter if it was him or not, he can't help us stop Fayed, which means your following our only "live" lead
Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up] I understand, I'll get back to you as soon as I'm at the Consulate

Bill Buchanan : [Over the phone] where are you?
Karen Hayes : I'm still at the airport waiting for my plane, why? What's up?
Bill Buchanan : About a half an hour ago there was an attempt on the President's life
Karen Hayes : [Shocked] what?
Bill Buchanan : They won't know the full extent of his injuries until he regains consciousness
Karen Hayes : There's been nothing of this in the news
Bill Buchanan : It hasn't been made public yet: the Vice President's on his way back to the White House, his already "assumed" Executive Duties
Karen Hayes : I have to go back
Bill Buchanan : You think Daniels will have you back? You already tendered your resignation
Karen Hayes : Nothing's been processed: technically I can withdraw my resignation. I've got to go back, I'll call you when I get there ok?
Bill Buchanan : [Before hanging] alright
