  Jack Bauer : I know how difficult it must be for you right now, but you need to make a decision

  Michelle Dessler : What?

  Jack Bauer : With Tony down, you're in command. If you want to be by his side at the hospital, you're going to have to hand CTU over to someone else. No one will fault you for whatever you choose to do but if you choose to stay we need you to work at full capacity

  Michelle Dessler : I understand

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  I'm sorry

• Michelle Dessler : You wanted to see me?

  Gael Ortega : [after Chloe and Adam leave]  listen, I agree. We can't run this place by committee, let me step in for you. Adam and Chloe can stay at their posts

  Michelle Dessler : What about yours?

  Gael Ortega : When I was at Langley I filled in for my Bureau Chief a couple times and we got through it

  Michelle Dessler : Was there a bio threat and the President in town all in one day? Thank you anyway Gael
