Dennis Haysbert: President David Palmer
Quotes
-
President David Palmer : [Talking privately] and what did CTU have to say?
Wayne Palmer : That it could be a very dangerous situation. Almeida sent me a breakdown of what could happen if this virus is released and it's not good
President David Palmer : Give CTU carte blanche. Whatever they need, make sure they get it
Wayne Palmer : I did
President David Palmer : We should cancel the debate
Wayne Palmer : What?
President David Palmer : It's a mistake to continue prepping for tonight while there's an imminent bio terrorist threat against this country
Wayne Palmer : First of all, "we" don't know if it's imminent and you know just as well as I do that we get threats every day
President David Palmer : Not like this one. They said the body was infected with a weaponized virus
Wayne Palmer : Ok let's say you're right: what do you really think you can do when you put your full attention on it?
President David Palmer : I just want to make sure that you're not advising me out of fear that my image will suffer if we cancel
Wayne Palmer : Oh, no it will suffer but I still think the best thing to do is to proceed as planned and respond when we have more information
-
President David Palmer : So, what's the latest?
Wayne Palmer : Nothing yet. CTU's working their leads. Trying to figure out who dropped off the dead body
President David Palmer : So we still don't know who's behind this threat?
Wayne Palmer : No, they're still speculating its Salazar's brother, Hector. What they don't know if it's a bluff, staged to release Salazar
President David Palmer : How can it be a bluff? The virus has been confirmed
Wayne Palmer : Yes but dropping off a dead body is one thing: being able to infect an entire city? That's something entirely different
President David Palmer : Alright, I guess we'll know soon enough
President David Palmer : [Before Wayne walks away] so you spoke earlier about an "opportunity"?
Wayne Palmer : Yeah, I'm not sure that's something we need to discuss right now
President David Palmer : Which means whatever it is fell through, or you know I'm not going to like it so you're proceeding without me
Wayne Palmer : No, that's not it. I just think because of this threat, I just don't want to divert your attention
President David Palmer : I can "walk and chew gum" at the same time. What is it?
Wayne Palmer : Keeler's play book, what if I can get us a copy?
President David Palmer : What exactly do you mean by "play book"?
Wayne Palmer : His entire prep for tonight's debate. How his going to answer the questions, what issues his going to try to trip you on, everything
President David Palmer : And how would we get it?
Wayne Palmer : You don't need to know the details
President David Palmer : I'm surprised
Wayne Palmer : About what?
President David Palmer : The question. You know there is no way on earth, I'd agree to this
Wayne Palmer : I am not talking about pull a "Sherry" and stealing it, now it may just drop in our lap, why shouldn't we look at it?
President David Palmer : You are not in the private sector anymore, you have to get used to how my Administration works
Wayne Palmer : And I am just trying to give your Administration four more years
Wayne Palmer : [after David gives him a stern look, implying he doesn't want to win by cheating] ok, if that's how you want it
President David Palmer : That's how I want it
-
President David Palmer : I'm having your security level upgraded. I'm going to need your advice today
Dr. Anne Packard : What's going on?
President David Palmer : What do you know about type three pneumonic viruses?
Dr. Anne Packard : Not a lot: their fairly new. As far as I know there are several strains, most of them are fast acting and all of them are deadly
President David Palmer : Someone's threatening to release a virus here in LA
Dr. Anne Packard : Oh God
President David Palmer : I need you to talk to a Dr. Sunny Macer at National Health Services
Dr. Anne Packard : Yes I know Sunny but if you think there's a remote possibility that this thing is for real, you need to get out of Los Angeles
President David Palmer : That's not possible, the debate is in a little over two hours
Dr. Anne Packard : No, don't tell me about the debate, we're talking about an outbreak here in the city. This isn't something Secret Service can protect you against
President David Palmer : I know, we are prepared to leave if the situation warrants it. But right now I need you to talk to Dr. Sunny Macer and learn everything you can about this thing
-
President David Palmer : [Meeting privately] what is it?
Wayne Palmer : [Sliding it across the table] don't be angry but I got a copy of Keeler's playbook
President David Palmer : Damn it, I told you to drop that
Wayne Palmer : Will you just listen to me? If you don't want to use it then don't but there is something you need to see
President David Palmer : There's nothing I need to see
Wayne Palmer : It's about Anne
President David Palmer : Keeler is too smart to play the race card or the girlfriend card
Wayne Palmer : It's neither one of those: which is why I'm bringing this to you. It's something we didn't know about her. Something if it's true, it could damage all of us. Just take a look at it
