Quotes 

• Brian Hastings : [Over the phone]  we are "exhausting" all efforts to ascertain who took Bauer and where but until any progress is made, we just have to "hope" that Jack can find some way of "salvaging" the operation on his end

  Rob Weiss : [Over the speakerphone as Taylor stands nearby]  what makes you even think Bauer's still alive?

  Brian Hastings : Only the fact that he wasn't killed at the point of abduction

  President Allison Taylor : Mr. Hastings, I need a realistic assessment: what are the odds of finding and securing these nuclear weapons within the next few hours?

  Brian Hastings : I can't answer that ma'am but the longer we're out of touch with Bauer, the less likely are our chances

  President Allison Taylor : Alright Mr. Hastings, continue to coordinate with my Office, I want updates every thirty minutes

  Brian Hastings : [Before Weiss hangs up]  yes ma'am

• President Allison Taylor : [During a conference call]  Jack, President Taylor, you're on with Mr. Hastings and my Chief of Staff: CTU has been keeping me apprised of your involvement in this, I'm sorry it's taken this long for us to speak

  Jack Bauer : I understand and please forgive me for getting straight to the point: the man we have in custody, Sergei Bazhaev is willing to cooperate. He said he will hand over the fuel rods in exchange for full immunity for him and his son

  Rob Weiss : [Sarcastically]  is that all? Why don't we give him a parade down Broadway too?

  President Allison Taylor : Jack, you've been dealing with this man. Is there no other way to getting the location of the nuclear materials out of him?

  Jack Bauer : His file said he did twelve years in a Russian labor camp: in the timeframe, we're not going to break him in time, I can see it in his eyes

  President Allison Taylor : Mr. Hastings, what is your assessment?

  Brian Hastings : Well, at first "brush", I'd say an immunity deal is premature but under the circumstances, I'll defer to Jack's judgment on this

  President Allison Taylor : Gentlemen, I have a peace deal that's going to fall apart at any moment unless I can show President Hassan that we have stopped his brother from smuggling those fuel rods out of the country: make the deal Jack

  Jack Bauer : Madam President, his going to want this in writing

  President Allison Taylor : He'll get it but in the interest of expediency, put him on the phone with me

  Jack Bauer : [Before walking over to Sergei]  yes ma'am

  Jack Bauer : [to Sergei]  The President of the United States wants to talk to you
