Quotes 

• President David Palmer : Are all agencies up to speed on this?

  Gerry Whitehorn : Yes Sir, we're coordinating with them to put a net around the virus

  President David Palmer : What about the Mexican government?

  Gerry Whitehorn : Full cooperation, they've given us a free hand

  Wayne Palmer : [after opening the door to his office]  Mr. President, may I please have a word?

  President David Palmer : [to Gerry, implying he should leave]  thank you

  Gerry Whitehorn : Yes Sir

  Wayne Palmer : Thanks Gerry

  Wayne Palmer : I just got off the phone with Sullivan: his pulling his vote

  President David Palmer : How many Senators have we lost?

  Wayne Palmer : Three, all protégés of Milliken's. David, I'm sorry but unless Milliken calls off his dogs, we're not going to get health care passed

  President David Palmer : Sabotaging a bill that can benefit millions of people

  Wayne Palmer : And what his doing is showing you not only he has the power to start your political career but also he the power to put an end to it. David you can't afford to lose this debate and fail at getting the most important legislation of your Presidency through, we'd be handing Keeler this election

  President David Palmer : We haven't lost the Senate vote yet

  Wayne Palmer : We will, unless you give into his demands and fire me, you will. David you don't have a choice here

  President David Palmer : I told you before, that's not an option

  Wayne Palmer : Listen, I know you want to do the "right thing" by me but I'm the one who made this mistake. My affair with Milliken's wife was stupid and wrong

  President David Palmer : Yes it was but what his trying to do is worse, for personal revenge his willing to kill a piece of legislation that's good for this country. We can't let that happen, there has to be a way to get to him
