Quotes
-
Sherry Palmer : What's going on?
Sherry Palmer : You tell me
Sherry Palmer : Look, it's late and I'm a little too tired...
Wayne Palmer : [Interrupts her] I know about Alan Milliken
Sherry Palmer : Yes, it's awful but I already told David what happened
Wayne Palmer : Except you left out the part about you preventing Julia from giving Alan his medication: you stood there and watched a man die
Sherry Palmer : You would've done the same thing had you been there
Wayne Palmer : [Angrily] I wouldn't have been there in the first place
Sherry Palmer : Listen, David asked me to come here to help clean up your mess, what did you think he expected me to do?
Wayne Palmer : What he expected for you was to get Alan off his back but not like this
Sherry Palmer : Complex problems sometimes have the simplest solutions
Wayne Palmer : Oh, for God's sake
Sherry Palmer : You're upset. That's understandable but what's done is done
Wayne Palmer : You are insane
Sherry Palmer : We can control the situation, we just need to be on the same page
Wayne Palmer : No, I'm sorry but David's going to have to handle this
Sherry Palmer : David can't know about this. For his own protection, if he doesn't know anything, he has nothing to deny
Wayne Palmer : We can't cover this thing up
Sherry Palmer : We can and we will, that's why you're talking to me instead of David because you understand what has to happen
Wayne Palmer : Yeah, you've got it all figured out don't you?
Sherry Palmer : What did you say to Julia?
Wayne Palmer : Not to talk to anyone until she spoke to a lawyer
Sherry Palmer : Good then as long she keeps her mouth shut, we'll both be fine

Sherry Palmer : [Over the phone] Hello?
Detective Michael Norris : Is this Sherry Palmer?
Sherry Palmer : Yes, who is this?
Detective Michael Norris : I'm Detective Michael Norris of the LAPD. I'm sorry to bother you this time of night
Sherry Palmer : Detective Norris, how did you get this number?
Detective Michael Norris : It was given to me by a woman named Julia Milliken: do you know her?
Sherry Palmer : Yes I do
Detective Michael Norris : Were you with her tonight?
Sherry Palmer : Tonight? No, I wasn't
Detective Michael Norris : She says you were
Sherry Palmer : Well, she's lying. I've been right here all night
Detective Michael Norris : And where is "here"?
Sherry Palmer : "Here" is in the district offices with my ex-husband President Palmer. He asked for my help on a political matter and I'm sorry but do you mind telling me what this is about?
Detective Michael Norris : Mrs. Milliken's husband died about an hour and a half ago
Sherry Palmer : Oh, I'm so sorry
Detective Michael Norris : She claims that you and she caused his death by withholding his medication
Sherry Palmer : Well, that's preposterous. I haven't seen Mr. Milliken or his wife in over three years
Detective Michael Norris : And you say you were with the President, since what time?
Sherry Palmer : Since about ten o'clock, about five hours ago
Detective Michael Norris : And if we were to contact President Palmer, would he be able to confirm that?
Sherry Palmer : I'm sure he will
Detective Michael Norris : [Before hanging up] thank you Mrs. Palmer, we'll be in touch
