Quotes 

• President David Palmer : Where are we on locating the Coral Snake commandos?

  Lynne Kresge : Bauer and his team are at the airport and CTU is updating us every ten minutes

  President David Palmer : Good

  Lynne Kresge : Sir, this cannot possibly have a good outcome: we've got two highly trained American military groups about to face off

  President David Palmer : CTU has a formable presence. If the commandos are there, CTU should be able to control the situation

  Lynne Kresge : Mr. President, we've got something new

  President David Palmer : What?

  Lynne Kresge : Our COMM team discovered a covert link between Stanton and Bruce Gluck

  President David Palmer : The Michigan Senator?

  Lynne Kresge : Yes, it looks like they were working together. How would you like to proceed?

  President David Palmer : Sherry knows Gluck and his key staffers. They worked very closely together during the primaries. Bring her in

  Lynne Kresge : I'll let the President fill you in and I would like to make it clear that you are not to speak directly to the personnel when you are in the OC. Please see me if you need anything

  Sherry Palmer : [Amused]  you want me to run everything by you?

  Lynne Kresge : I'm more familiar with the internal politics, I would be able to help...

  Sherry Palmer : [Interrupts her]  you'll be able to do what?

  Lynne Kresge : I am just trying to maintain some form of protocol...

  Sherry Palmer : [Interrupts her]  no, you're not. You're trying to position yourself between me and David's inner circle because you don't trust me. Instead of talking about protocols, why don't you just say what's on your mind? You don't want me here

  Lynne Kresge : Mrs. Palmer...

  Sherry Palmer : [Interrupts her]  no, you don't want me here so let's quit playing games

  Lynne Kresge : How dare you speak to me like this. I was appointed by the President of the United States of America because of my qualifications in foreign policy and crisis management and I don't know what kind of credentials that makes you think you can lecture me. Fine, you don't want to play games? I don't like you and I don't like you being here

  Sherry Palmer : Well, now we're communicating
