Quotes 

• George Mason : [George enters an interrogation room while Nina sits at a table]  So you weren't just selling intel for the Drazens, you'd sell to anybody who'd buy it. Presidential assassins, doesn't matter did it? What do you know about this nuclear bomb?

  Nina Myers : Here are the terms: they're non-negotiable. I'll give up my contacts, my background material, all my intel. I'll work with anyone you want here or in the field. For that, I want a full Prudential Pardon, third party certification in writing.

  George Mason : It's not going to "Fly"

  Nina Myers : then take me back.

  George Mason : You're not buying a "used car" here. You have to deal within the confines of reality. You're not going to get anything until you produce results.

  Nina Myers : It's in my interest to produce results

  [George leaves the room] 

• George Mason : [Referring to reviving Paula]  what's the progress here?

  Paramedic : We're trying to bring her around using a combination of stimulants and hydrating fluids but it might make her more unstable

  George Mason : We're running out of time. Wake her up

  George Mason : [as Tony walks by]  where are you headed?

  Tony Almeida : Following a lead that just came in. there's a connection to Syed Ali

  George Mason : Well, send somebody else. I need you here

  Tony Almeida : To do what? Watch Paula die?

  George Mason : We've got to get the encryption code out of her or we're going to lose everything. We can't let that happen today

  Tony Almeida : Yeah well you have this covered. I'm going to follow up on this lead

  George Mason : No, you're going to stay here and that's an order

  Tony Almeida : Look, there's a Middle Eastern business man in LA who's had contact with Syed Ali recently. Now Ires and Peller are dead, who do you want me to send?

  George Mason : [Allowing him to leave]  be reachable alright?

  George Mason : What're you looking at?

  Michelle Dessler : Nothing

  George Mason : Putting bandwidth on the network?

  Michelle Dessler : Yeah, I'm on it

• George Mason : [Over the phone]  what is it?

  Jack Bauer : I got to Wald: I found out who commissioned to take out CTU

  George Mason : Who?

  Jack Bauer : It was Nina Meyers

  George Mason : Nina?

  Jack Bauer : She was his connection to CTU

  George Mason : It doesn't make any sense: she's been in prison

  Jack Bauer : Wald approached her before we took her down. She sold him everything. Schematics, data information, personal data. All of this has to be connected to the nuke

  George Mason : So they bombed CTU to cripple our response capability?

  Jack Bauer : Yes. I've already called Chappelle

  George Mason : You what?

  Jack Bauer : I couldn't find you

  George Mason : What did he say?

  Jack Bauer : He agreed we need to talk to her. His having her transferred to CTU now for questioning

  George Mason : Why don't you debrief her at Division? It's a total disaster here

  Jack Bauer : Well, what are you going to do about Nina?

  George Mason : I'll take care of it

  Jack Bauer : Don't just hand her over to the FBI

  George Mason : [Before hanging up on him]  forget it, you did a great job ok? Go find yourself someplace safe

• George Mason : Can you get someone to set up an interrogation room? We got someone coming in

  Michelle Dessler : Who?

  George Mason : Nina Meyers

  Michelle Dessler : The CTU agent who killed Jack's wife?

  George Mason : I need as close to maximum security as I can get: three armed agents standing by

• Michelle Dessler : Sir, off duty agents are finally arriving and Division just called: chopper just lifted off, Nina Meyers is on board

  George Mason : Good, let's set up the mobile video unit for the interrogation then alright?

  Michelle Dessler : Ok

  George Mason : Jack, what the hell are you doing here? I sent you to Division

  Jack Bauer : I wanted to do the debrief here

  George Mason : I'm not going to mince words with you, Nina killed your wife, I don't want you anywhere near her

  Jack Bauer : My goal is the same as yours. It makes more sense that I do the debrief here because there's no information about Wald at Division please?

  George Mason : Alright, we'll set you up with Noel at tech support

  Jack Bauer : What about Ivers?

  George Mason : Dead

  Jack Bauer : Clark?

  George Mason : Dead. We lost a lot of good people

  Jack Bauer : I'm going to get started on the debrief

  George Mason : Hey, do us both a favor? Finish and go

  Jack Bauer : Yeah

• George Mason : What're you doing in my office?

  Jack Bauer : How long did they give you? I know you were exposed to high levels of radioactive materials in Panorama City this morning

  George Mason : How'd you figure that out?

  Jack Bauer : Your Antitoxin medication: it's for radiation sickness. I checked the logs, I made a few calls. You inhaled plutonium

  George Mason : So?

  Jack Bauer : So, I'm not the only person that shouldn't be here today. How long do you have?

  George Mason : I'll be dead by this time tomorrow. Why? What's it to you?

  Jack Bauer : I want to know what your plans are for Nina?

  George Mason : As soon as we get the signature from Palmer, she's going to tell us everything she knows

  Jack Bauer : Who's going to be the handler?

  George Mason : O'Neil

  Jack Bauer : Forget about O'Neil. I want to do it

  George Mason : I'm fine, I'm not crazy. You and Nina together is a recipe for disaster

  Jack Bauer : Maybe but if you don't do this I'll phone District and tell them about your condition. They'll have you replaced in minutes. We want the same thing. We want to finish this thing and find the bomb, let me do it

  George Mason : Go ahead
