Quotes 

• Tony Almeida : Are your people ready?

  Michelle Dessler : Yeah, their waiting

  Tony Almeida : What about Chloe?

  Michelle Dessler : Yeah, she's there too

  Tony Almeida : Alright this is our one chance to get the virus so make sure their all aware of what's at stake

  Michelle Dessler : Their aware

  Tony Almeida : I'm just saying it's all going to come down in the next hour

  Michelle Dessler : I know, you don't have to keep reminding me

  Tony Almeida : [Aggressively]  yes, I do

  Tony Almeida : Look, too many things could go wrong here and we don't need another mistake

  Tony Almeida : [Realizes he needs to calm down and takes a breath]  so, have we had any communication from Jack in the last few minutes?

  Michelle Dessler : No, his still with Nina and the Salazar's

  Tony Almeida : [Before walking away]  alright

• Tony Almeida : [Pointing to a map on a monitor]  Amador will bring the virus to this location in thirty minutes: we have Delta teams two minutes away to intercept the package as soon as Jack confirms and contains the virus

  Michelle Dessler : Is Jack's transmitter working yet?

  Tony Almeida : No, we're using Chase. His moving into a forward covert position to give us confirmation, he'll be able to transmit sound to us and to the Delta teams

  Michelle Dessler : Who's running his COMM?

  Chloe O'Brian : I am, there wasn't any protocol in place so I wrote a software grid, and I'm amplifying the low frequency audio signal and relaying it out

  Michelle Dessler : Ok good

  Tony Almeida : After that, Chase will let us know when the transaction's complete and Jack has the virus at which point our units will move in taking full precaution to keep that virus safe

• Tony Almeida : [Talking privately]  ok, what is it?

  Tony Almeida : There's something you need to know...

  Tony Almeida : [Interrupts her]  if this is about Chloe's baby, I don't have time to deal with this right now

  Kim Bauer : It's not her baby: Chloe does not have a baby and frankly I think she's delusional

  Tony Almeida : What're you talking about?

  Kim Bauer : Look, Chloe does not have a child. I confronted her and she said this was her boyfriend's baby and the mother of this child was letting her get abused and I spoke to Child Protective Services and they there was no abuse claim filed

  Tony Almeida : Your sure?

  Kim Bauer : Positive

  Tony Almeida : Have to talked to Chloe since you found this out?

  Kim Bauer : No, when I confronted her, she was on the verge of losing it, this is what I'm worried about. I think she's unstable

  Tony Almeida : I need you to take a step back here

  Kim Bauer : My father and Chase's life are in her hands

  Tony Almeida : That's exactly why we can't do anything about this right now

  Kim Bauer : What'd you mean?

  Tony Almeida : Chloe is our only life line on what's going on down there. She's the only one in this office capable of filtering audio streams Chase is sending us

  Kim Bauer : If Chloe is unstable...

  Tony Almeida : [Interrupts her]  we don't have an alternative right now. We have got to keep her in place

  Kim Bauer : What about the baby? Whoever are her parents must be going out of their minds right now

  Tony Almeida : You're going to take care of that baby until this operation is over. I do not want Chloe distracted, I'm not happy about this either, just hope that Chloe holds it together. We'll deal with the baby once we get possession of the virus

• Wayne Palmer : [Over the phone]  give me an update on this

  Tony Almeida : The exchange of the virus hasn't happened yet but we expect it to go down at any moment

  Wayne Palmer : The Pentagon is furious they have to play catch up and I sure as hell don't blame them, now this operation began as a "secret" between three CTU agents and again I will lead their raid when this is over. The President will hold all three of you accountable

  Tony Almeida : I understand sir but if you're calling just to reprimand me, you're doing both of us a disservice. I need to focus on this operation

  Wayne Palmer : This operation, how large is it?

  Tony Almeida : We have half a dozen Delta teams are waiting in the area for the signal to go in

  Wayne Palmer : Will that be sufficient?

  Tony Almeida : It has to be: anymore bodies down there, we run the risk of being spotted

  Wayne Palmer : Tell me exactly what's going to happen?

  Tony Almeida : We don't have time for this

  Wayne Palmer : you asked for the President's support for this and he has. Now you went way out on the limb for this and he wants to know what the plan is?

  Tony Almeida : Michael Amador, the seller will hand the virus over to Nina Meyers. Now he doesn't know Nina Meyers is under our control, once the exchange happens the Delta teams will move in, secure the virus, take Nina Meyers, Michael Amador, and Ramon Salazar into custody

  Wayne Palmer : Sounds like an awful lot of things are going to have to go perfectly

  Tony Almeida : That's true, we're pretty sure we have our basis covered

  Wayne Palmer : [Before hanging up]  "Pretty sure" isn't good enough. You make this happen

  Tony Almeida : Yes sir
