Jude Ciccolella: Mike Novick

Quotes 

• Mike Novick : [Over the phone, after looking at his watch]  how are things going over there?

  Karen Hayes : It's a bit of a rough transition from CTU to Homeland but we're getting through it

  Mike Novick : That's good to hear, what'd you need?

  Karen Hayes : I need some clarification: we were sent over here on a directive from the White House but we've been "exclusively" dealing with Vice President Gardener until about two hours ago

  Mike Novick : What happened two hours ago?

  Karen Hayes : The President called me himself and ordered me to arrest Jack Bauer on evidence he was unwilling to share with me

  Mike Novick : Yes, I know about that

  Karen Hayes : Have you seen the evidence?

  Mike Novick : No, actually I haven't

  Karen Hayes : Who has seen it?

  Mike Novick : I don't have a good answer to that

  Karen Hayes : Are you telling me you're not in the loop?

  Mike Novick : Actually I don't think there is a loop: the President is keeping his own "counsel" at the moment

  Karen Hayes : That's a first

  Mike Novick : Yes, it is

  Karen Hayes : Is there anything else you want to tell me?

  Mike Novick : Nothing I can say with any "authority." All I know is that it's been a strange night

  Karen Hayes : I see

  Mike Novick : I wish I could be more helpful

  Karen Hayes : [Before hanging up]  no, actually you've been very helpful, thank you
