Sean Astin: Lynn McGill

Quotes 

• Bill Buchanan : [During a briefing]  although we were able to limit casualties at the mall, the terrorists made good on their threat to release the nerve gas on US soil: unless we catch a break, we can expect to suffer multiple attacks that would result in mass causalities

  Bill Buchanan : [to Lynn when he arrived late]  I assume you wanted me to start without you?

  Lynn McGill : [Irritated]  just tell me where we are

  Bill Buchanan : LAPD is setting up a perimeter around the terrorists last known location. We activated all search protocols including satellite and CALTRANS surveillance

  Lynn McGill : But we don't have any "real" leads do we?

  Lynn McGill : [after Bill doesn't respond]  if Jack Bauer followed orders to maintain his cover, we could've intercepted these people

  Audrey Raines : We don't know that for sure: what we do know Jack's field decision saved over eight hundred innocent people

  Lynn McGill : In the long term, it'll cost us a hundred times that many people

  Audrey Raines : In the meantime, we've contained the physical threat and the media's awareness, which would've triggered massive civil unrest

  Lynn McGill : You tell yourself that if you want to: the facts remains these terrorists are at large. Nineteen canisters of Sentox nerve gas and we don't know where or when they're going to hit us next

  Bill Buchanan : We're all aware of the situation

  Lynn McGill : Why does she keep defending Bauer? I want Bauer placed in custody, I want him brought in here, I want him held responsible of what's happened

  Bill Buchanan : Jack can be disciplined later. Taking him out of the field right now is a mistake

  Lynn McGill : [Sternly]  don't tell me how to do my job

  Bill Buchanan : He was authorized by the President

  Lynn McGill : But he works for me and so do you. I want him here now: the rest of you maintain your search protocols. Send your progress reports to my screen in ten minutes

• Lynn McGill : Someone's "screwing" with me and I won't tolerate it

  Bill Buchanan : "Screwing" with you how?

  Lynn McGill : Audrey Raines' phone log has been erased

  Bill Buchanan : What?

  Lynn McGill : [Hands him the log on paper]  take a look

  Bill Buchanan : Probably a system glitch

  Lynn McGill : It wasn't a glitch: she did it on purpose

  Bill Buchanan : Audrey? You think Audrey did this?

  Lynn McGill : I know she did

  Bill Buchanan : That's ridiculous. She's one of the most "by the book" people I know

  Lynn McGill : You don't go "by the book" when you're trying to hide something. Did you know she was on the phone with Jack right before he attacked Curtis?

  Bill Buchanan : No, I didn't know that: what does that prove?

  Lynn McGill : There's something going with these two, what's their history?

  Bill Buchanan : You know their history, they worked together at DOD

  Lynn McGill : There's more than that right?

  Bill Buchanan : It got personal later on

  Lynn McGill : Personal? And you didn't it was important to tell me that?

  Bill Buchanan : No, I didn't, what difference does that make?

  Lynn McGill : When did she find out Jack was still alive?

  Bill Buchanan : This morning with the rest of us

  Lynn McGill : You sure about that?

  Bill Buchanan : I was there, I saw her reaction

  Lynn McGill : It could've been an act

  Bill Buchanan : You're starting to sound paranoid

  Lynn McGill : I don't care how I sound. From this point on, I want all of our people on a tight leash, if someone has a hidden agenda, I want to know about it. CTU's become way too porous and that's your fault

  Bill Buchanan : I don't need to hear this from you

  Lynn McGill : You don't need to hear this from me? Then tell me why Audrey erased her phone logs?
