Kim Raver: Audrey Raines

Quotes 

• James Heller : Are you ok?

  Audrey Raines : Yeah, how are you holding up?

  James Heller : Considering the situation we're in, I'm doing fine: the truth of the matter is we do not have the manpower to handle this mess

  Audrey Raines : Tell me what I can do

  James Heller : I've prioritized evacuation protocols but I need someone to keep the State Police and the National Guard from bumping into each other

  Audrey Raines : [while looking at a map on a monitor]  alright I'll stop the Guard at the seventy five mile marker and let the police take over from there. We'll maximize room for civilian traffic

  James Heller : I wish we had some other way of getting those people out of there

  Audrey Raines : There's nowhere else to reroute them

  James Heller : Jack has got to find the Override before the rest of these reactors go critical

• Audrey Raines : [Talking privately]  I'm sorry, what is it?

  Edgar Stiles : It's my mother

  Audrey Raines : Your mother?

  Edgar Stiles : She lives near San Gabriel Island: she's in a wheelchair, she doesn't drive and she missed the call to evacuate, now I don't know what to do

  Audrey Raines : Maybe someone from the National Guard can get her?

  Edgar Stiles : I already spoke to the area commander, he said he couldn't spare anyone

  Audrey Raines : I'm sorry, I'm not sure what I can do

  Edgar Stiles : [Hands her a piece of paper]  here's his number. I thought maybe you called him yourself, I hate asking for special treatment: that's not something I normally do but she's my mother

  Audrey Raines : I can't make any promises

  Edgar Stiles : Just promise me you'll try ok?

  Audrey Raines : Alright

• Edgar Stiles : Did you talk to them?

  Audrey Raines : Yes, I'm sorry, they can't get your mother

  Edgar Stiles : Why not? Their five miles off the highway, it wouldn't take much time

  Audrey Raines : They know where she is

  Edgar Stiles : Then what's the problem?

  Audrey Raines : Thousands of people are stuck in the interstate and traffic, it's taken the combined effort of the police and the National Guard to get them moving

  Edgar Stiles : So who cares about one old woman?

  Audrey Raines : They've got to throw their resources into saving the maximum number of lives

  Edgar Stiles : [Before walking away]  if my mother were rich or a politician, they'd find a way to save her
