Wayne Palmer : I went to see Julia
President David Palmer : What?
Wayne Palmer : Just to see if she'd help us with Alan
President David Palmer : And?
Wayne Palmer : She said no: listen I've been thinking and you don't have an alternative here, this is my mess. I'll take the heat, let me resign
President David Palmer : I may ask you to when this is over but it won't be because Milliken is forcing my hand. Wayne, I've been doing some thinking too and there is alternative. If Milliken wants to play dirty, we'll have to lower ourselves to his level
Wayne Palmer : By doing what?
President David Palmer : [Asking him to leave the room] give me a moment
President David Palmer : [Calling Sherry] I need your help
Sherry Palmer : Alright, I'm listening
President David Palmer : I'm downtown. I need to see you tonight. I can't say much over the phone, it's about Alan Milliken
Sherry Palmer : Fine
President David Palmer : I'll send a car

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

Wayne Palmer : [Meeting privately in a restaurant] it's been a long time
Julia Milliken : Hi
Wayne Palmer : [while sitting down] thanks for meeting me
Julia Milliken : You're here because my husband is forcing the President to fire you?
Wayne Palmer : Yeah well there's much more at stake here than just my job. It's about my brother being to run his Administration as he sees fit. Now it's not fair to the people of this country, the President be extorted
Julia Milliken : I do love it when you get all noble but what am I suppose to do? All of this is out of my control
Wayne Palmer : No, it's not and I think you know that. Everyone thinks Alan dominates you, the truth is he needs you, you know that. Tell him you'll leave if he doesn't back off
Julia Milliken : [Shaking her head] he'd never believe me
Wayne Palmer : [Sternly] make him believe you
Julia Milliken : I miss you, do you miss me?
Wayne Palmer : What difference would it make?
Julia Milliken : [Before she kisses him] it could make a lot of difference
Wayne Palmer : Stop it. We can't
Julia Milliken : Do you think of me?
Wayne Palmer : Don't do this
Julia Milliken : It's a simple question: do you think of me?
Wayne Palmer : Yes. I think of you but it doesn't mean anything
Julia Milliken : I think about you and it does mean something
Wayne Palmer : I didn't come here for this
Julia Milliken : You came here because you wanted "something." I want something too. I like being Mrs. Alan Milliken that does not have to do with anything between you and me. Come back to me, that's what I want in return. It worked once, it can work again
Wayne Palmer : It never worked, not for me
Julia Milliken : [Before leaving] I'm afraid I can't help you
