Louis Lombardi: Edgar Stiles

Quotes 

• Chloe O'Brian : Meg found something in the hourly, she's gonna get it to you. I need you to look at it, I'm preparing for this briefing.

  Edgar Stiles : Can't Meg do it?

  Chloe O'Brian : No, it's the job of the lead Tactical, isn't that what you think you are?

  Edgar Stiles : I don't need your sarcasm, okay? I'll take care of it.

• Chloe O'Brian : Edgar, what's the new password for the central server?

  Edgar Stiles : I'll get you on.

  Chloe O'Brian : No, don't get me on, just give me the password so I can access it whenever I want to.

  Edgar Stiles : It's not your area anymore.

  Chloe O'Brian : What are you talking about? You work for me.

  Edgar Stiles : No, I *worked* for you. Worked, with an -ed at the end. Past tense.

  Chloe O'Brian : Edgar, I have been reinstated. So quit being territorial, just give me the password!

  Edgar Stiles : No!

  [Chloe walks over to Curtis] 

  Chloe O'Brian : Curtis, could you please explain to Edgar that I've been rehired to resume my position as head of com?

  Curtis Manning : Things have changed, Chloe. Edgar took over from you, you'll be working for him now.

  Chloe O'Brian : You're kidding? Michelle called me in because things were falling apart here under Edgar. Now give me my command or I walk.

  Curtis Manning : You have equal authority. Just on paper, it has to look like you work for him.

  Chloe O'Brian : Well, I'm not gonna do that. It's a matter of principle.

  Curtis Manning : You'll be bumped up to a term 4 analist. That's a 35 % increase in salary, plus bonus.

  Chloe O'Brian : Well, I should be getting that anyway, but that's not my point. Edgar works for me.

  Curtis Manning : Not today, Chloe.

• Michelle Dessler : [Over the phone with Edgar trying to trace the call and Curtis listening in]  this is Michelle Dessler: Director of CTU, to whom am I speaking to?

  Habib Marwan : This is Habib Marwan, Jack Bauer is alive and in my custody

  Michelle Dessler : I'll need to speak to him

  Habib Marwan : I'll return him to you unharmed in exchange for Behrooz Araz. I will give you ten minutes to secure clearances with your people

  Michelle Dessler : I need more time before I can agree to that

  Habib Marwan : Ten minutes, I will call you then with exact details on how the exchange is to proceed

  Michelle Dessler : [after Marwan hangs up, to Edgar]  did you get a trace?

  Edgar Stiles : No

  Michelle Dessler : Alright, confirm Marwan's identity off voice and process Behrooz Araz, we may need to move him

  Edgar Stiles : Got it

  Curtis Manning : Why is Behrooz Araz worth trading for Jack?

  Michelle Dessler : [Before walking away]  I don't know: have all tactical teams meet me in the situation room

• Tony Almeida : [During a briefing meeting]  alright everyone listen up, this is Bill Buchanan from Division: he'll be overseeing the operation. All department heads run everything through him

  Bill Buchanan : In less than half an hour Habib Marwan wants to make an exchange at the Union Conduit Damn. Behrooz Araz for Jack Bauer now before we decide to move "forward", I need to know a few things: why does Marwan want the boy? What's his value?

  Tony Almeida : We were unable to find any evidence that Behrooz had any critical information

  Bill Buchanan : Did you push him?

  Tony Almeida : Yeah, I don't think the kid knows anything

  Bill Buchanan : Who's doing background?

  Chloe O'Brian : Me, there's nothing specifically that ties these two people together. The parents? Yes, Behrooz? No

  Bill Buchanan : Could Behrooz have "something" implanted in his body? "Something" neither he nor his parents knew about?

  Tony Almeida : No, we had him scanned when he was brought in

  Bill Buchanan : Did you do an MRI?

  Tony Almeida : Yeah

  Bill Buchanan : I don't like giving up something unless I know its value: let's talk about what happens if we don't agree to the exchange?

  Chloe O'Brian : We don't get Jack Bauer back for one thing

  Bill Buchanan : That can't be the deciding factor here

  Michelle Dessler : Well, most importantly if we don't go through with this exchange, we may lose an opportunity to trap Marwan

  Bill Buchanan : Marwan has to know what we're thinking, the chances of him being at the exchange are small

  Michelle Dessler : I agree but we could put a tracer on Behrooz, he might lead us to Marwan

  Bill Buchanan : We tried to trace Jack and Dina Araz an hour ago, they grabbed Jack and killed Dina

  Edgar Stiles : We'll take a different approach: use tracers, two of them. One for Marwan to find, the other one subcutaneous

  Bill Buchanan : There's no guarantee he'll find that one too

  Michelle Dessler : No, sir, there are no guarantees period. The fact is we have no viable leads on Marwan, we have to run with every chance we get

  Bill Buchanan : Have tactical finish up the profiles in five minutes, let's get field teams on their way to the dam now
