Quotes 

• Lynne Kresge : [Over the phone, referring to the President]  I'm sorry: I can't disturb him right now

  Sherry Palmer : You know David only found out about Stanton because of me and it makes no sense that his keeping me out of the loop

  Lynne Kresge : Well, I'm not sure what you think I can do about that

  Sherry Palmer : Then why don't you just tell me what his doing about Stanton?

  Lynne Kresge : He hasn't let me in on it yet, so I don't know what's been decided

  Sherry Palmer : Well, can't you find out?

  Lynne Kresge : [Sternly]  if the President wanted input from either one of us I'm sure he would let us know

  Sherry Palmer : Look, you took credit on my work on David's speech and that was ok. I was fine with that but right now my "only" interest is to help David get through this day, now I assume that's priority as well?

  Lynne Kresge : I'll see what I can do

• Lynne Kresge : [after watching Roger Stanton arrested]  Sir, Mrs. Palmer has been trying to reach you for the last half hour

  President David Palmer : Yes I know

  Lynne Kresge : She's on line seven waiting right now. I can put her off if you like?

  President David Palmer : [Before Lynn leaves]  no, I'll take it

  President David Palmer : [Picking up the phone]  yes what is it?

  Sherry Palmer : Oh thank God, I was just wondering what you decided to do about Roger

  President David Palmer : I'm having him questioned

  Sherry Palmer : Well, has he admitted to having Jack Bauer's plane shot down?

  President David Palmer : What is your point?

  Sherry Palmer : My point is I think you should have waited for something more concrete

  President David Palmer : I don't run my decisions past you: not anymore

  Sherry Palmer : A large part of the intelligence you're basing your decisions on came from me. I think I've earned a seat at the table

  President David Palmer : You're not a member of my staff. You're not a government employee, and you're not my wife

  Sherry Palmer : That was your decision. Not mine

  President David Palmer : Listen to me, whatever role you're playing here today is on my terms, my timetable. Continue doing what you're doing I'll speak to you soon
