Quotes 

• Tony Almeida : [Over the phone]  are you on your way to the hotel?

  Dr. Nicole Duncan : Yeah, we're loading up now, we'll be there as fast as we can. What's the status of your people?

  Tony Almeida : Their setting up a covert perimeter

  Dr. Nicole Duncan : Ok, we're bringing a mobile lab to test the people inside the hotel but that could accomplished if the situation is stable

  Tony Almeida : Yeah Michelle's got that covered

  Dr. Nicole Duncan : She's inside the hotel? Unprotected?

  Tony Almeida : Yeah, look I'll get back to you

  Tony Almeida : [Before hanging up with Duncan, to Chappelle after he walks into his office]  here's the protocol: total containment inside the hotel, no one is allowed to leave or communicate with the outside. Health Services will establish an adjacent perimeter, LAPD will move in as soon as the area is deemed safe

  Ryan Chappelle : Alright, have they been given a degree of "forced parameters" in case someone tries to leave the hotel?

  Tony Almeida : No, that's your call

  Ryan Chappelle : One person gets out it can start a ripple effect and disease transmission throughout the city. The orders are shoot to kill if anyone attempts to leave: no exceptions

• Tony Almeida : [Over the phone]  how long before you can move in?

  Dr. Nicole Duncan : About half an hour

  Tony Almeida : We found out the virus was altered, combined with another compound

  Dr. Nicole Duncan : Until the compound is analyzed we have no idea what we're dealing with

  Tony Almeida : So, what's the mortality rate among those exposed to the virus?

  Dr. Nicole Duncan : In its ALT form, approximately ninety percent

  Tony Almeida : If somebody was exposed to it for a short time, would leaving the hotel make a difference? I mean I knowing not making sense here...

  Dr. Nicole Duncan : [Interrupts him]  once your exposed, your exposed, the length of exposure has no bearing on survivability

  Tony Almeida : You said ten percent would survive, now if the virus "was" altered, is there a chance the percentage would go up?

  Dr. Nicole Duncan : [Referring to Michelle]  it's possible: we'll do everything we can for her

  Tony Almeida : [Before hanging up]  yeah, thanks
