Quotes 

• President Allison Taylor : [Over the phone]  it's over, Dubaku and Juma are dead: everyone responsible for the terrorist attacks, and their responsible for Roger

  Henry Taylor : Thank God for that

  President Allison Taylor : And there's something else, something "good", that's come out of all this: Olivia is here at the White House

  Henry Taylor : Olivia?

  President Allison Taylor : She's come "home." This crisis, it brought us together. I've asked her to stay on as "special advisor", and she agreed

  Henry Taylor : I can't begin to tell you how happy that makes me

  President Allison Taylor : Me too. Sweetheart, you're tired, you should get some rest. Olivia and I will come to the hospital just as soon as we can

  Henry Taylor : When you can, I'm not going anywhere. Give Olivia my love

  President Allison Taylor : [Before hanging up]  we love you too

• President Allison Taylor : Doctors expect him to make a full recovery

  Ethan Kanin : Henry's a lot tougher than anyone thought

  President Allison Taylor : Oh, maybe this day will end on a positive note?

  President Allison Taylor : [after noticing the expression on his face]  what is it? What's wrong?

  Ethan Kanin : I'm sorry to have to tell you this madam President but Senator Mayer is dead

  President Allison Taylor : [Stunned]  what happened?

  Ethan Kanin : All evidence points to the fact that he was "murdered" by Jack Bauer

  President Allison Taylor : Bauer?

  Ethan Kanin : [Shakes his head]  it's hard to believe I know

  President Allison Taylor : It doesn't make any sense. After everything he's done today, why on earth would he do this?

  Ethan Kanin : We'll know more when we find him

  President Allison Taylor : My God

  Ethan Kanin : Madam President, in light of what's "happened" and for the sake of your Administration, I'm afraid I have no choice but to resign as your Chief of Staff

  President Allison Taylor : Ethan...

  Ethan Kanin : Madam President, please... you need to hear this: inevitably, it'll "come to light", that I sanctioned Bauer's release from custody. Unless I step down immediately, the damage to your Office and you personally will be..."extensive"

  President Allison Taylor : Olivia has already "killed" this story once today, we can "control" the "damage"

  Ethan Kanin : No, not even Olivia can "control" it no, not after this savage murder. The truth is madam President, I didn't do enough to protect you. The truth is I failed you, I should "shoulder the blame" for what's happened

  President Allison Taylor : You're really taking this too far

  Ethan Kanin : Am I? I'm not so sure. As your daughter's made abundantly clear, I have a lot to answer for

  President Allison Taylor : You have done nothing but be an invaluable advisor to me and an even better friend

  Ethan Kanin : I appreciate you saying that madam President but Olivia's right. Political knives will be out: every decision I've made will be scrutinized. They'll be calls for a special prosecutor. You're a great woman, you have great work yet to do, I'm a liability to you now. Don't let me "compromise" your next three years in Office. Don't let me "sink" your agenda

  President Allison Taylor : [Walks up to him, correcting him]  "our" agenda

  Ethan Kanin : Yes, "our" agenda. Trust me madam President, it's the "right thing" to do... accept my resignation, you'll have a letter on your desk in the morning
