Quotes

President Charles Logan : Authorizing the torture of a foreign national is one thing but torturing a US citizen, I can't
Mike Novick : Sir, this man Prado has information on the whereabouts of a nuclear warhead
President Charles Logan : We don't know that for sure
Mike Novick : No, we don't because you're not letting CTU do what they need to do
President Charles Logan : I'm going to wait until the Attorney General gets back to me with an opinion
Mike Novick : Mr. President, we are running out of time
President Charles Logan : [to Walt] you were the first one to raise an objection to this: what'd you think now?
Walt Cummings : I think you need to make a decision Sir, and sooner rather than later
Mike Novick : [Referring to Bill Buchanan waiting to hear the President's decision] what should I tell him?
President Charles Logan : [Raises his voice] stop pressing me for an answer I'm not ready to give, I need more time
-
President Charles Logan : [Over a speakerphone with Mike Novick nearby] how did Marwan get pass your men?
Bill Buchanan : They had to move in before they were ready
Mike Novick : Why?
Bill Buchanan : Secret Service showed up to take Bauer into custody which compromised one of our positions
President Charles Logan : [Stunned] I didn't mean... that's not what I meant to have happened
Bill Buchanan : With respect Sir, your orders were explicit
Mike Novick : What other search protocols are you running?
Bill Buchanan : None: we're essentially without a lead
President Charles Logan : Give us a few minutes, we'll get right back to you
-
President Charles Logan : [after Mike gives him a stern look, referring to his decision that compromised capturing Marwan] this not my fault: none of this would've happened if Jack Bauer hadn't disobeyed my orders in the first place
Mike Novick : I'm sorry Sir but if you're asking me to agree with that assessment, I can't. If it wasn't for Jack, we wouldn't have located Marwan. CTU is waiting for us to call them back with a directive, what would you like me to tell them?
President Charles Logan : [Shaking his head] I have no idea, and that's the problem isn't it? It is my fault we lost him. This man Marwan has a nuclear warhead and I "allowed" him to escape
Mike Novick : Mr. President...
President Charles Logan : [Interrupts him] stop, I don't even know if I deserve to be called that
Mike Novick : Whatever I call you won't change the fact you are the President of the United States
President Charles Logan : I shouldn't be: for the good of this country, I should resign
Mike Novick : That's not an option Sir, not without "destroying" the public's confidence which is already at its limits
President Charles Logan : Then what should I do? Tell me what to do
Mike Novick : [sighs] there's someone who can advise you better than I can. You should "consider" bringing him in here to help you through this
-
Mike Novick : CTU located Marwan: they sent a tactical team to grab him
President Charles Logan : That's good news but I'm curious how they "obtained" Marwan's location? Did they use force?
Mike Novick : Yes Sir, I believe "force" was used but I don't need to remind you this is an extremely time sensitive situation
President Charles Logan : Who's responsible?
President Charles Logan : [after Mike remains silent] who's responsible?
Mike Novick : Jack Bauer
President Charles Logan : [Angrily] I'm the President of the United States. I cannot allow this kind of insubordination to go unanswered especially in times of crisis
Mike Novick : [after Mike continues to remain silent] I want Bauer arrested
Mike Novick : I agree that should happen Sir but I think we should wait until we have Marwan in custody
President Charles Logan : No, I want him arrested now
Mike Novick : Sir, Bauer is heading the field operation
President Charles Logan : [Yells] Jack Bauer is not the only man who can do the job: put someone else in charge
