James Morrison: Bill Buchanan

Quotes 

• Bill Buchanan : [Over the phone]  are you on your way to the Consulate?

  Jack Bauer : Yes

  Bill Buchanan : Before you get there, you need to know something: there was an assassination attempt on President Palmer. He was wounded but we don't know the extent of his injuries yet

  Jack Bauer : My God, how did this happen?

  Bill Buchanan : Details are still coming in, Secret Service thinks it was Assad

  Jack Bauer : What?

  Bill Buchanan : They think he smuggled in some kind of explosive device into the White House bunker

  Jack Bauer : That doesn't make sense, Assad was working with the President to stop Fayed

  Bill Buchanan : That's what he "said" he was doing

  Jack Bauer : He wasn't lying

  Bill Buchanan : His dead: it doesn't matter if it was him or not, he can't help us stop Fayed, which means your following our only "live" lead

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  I understand, I'll get back to you as soon as I'm at the Consulate

• Bill Buchanan : [Over the phone]  where are you?

  Karen Hayes : I'm still at the airport waiting for my plane, why? What's up?

  Bill Buchanan : About a half an hour ago there was an attempt on the President's life

  Karen Hayes : [Shocked]  what?

  Bill Buchanan : They won't know the full extent of his injuries until he regains consciousness

  Karen Hayes : There's been nothing of this in the news

  Bill Buchanan : It hasn't been made public yet: the Vice President's on his way back to the White House, his already "assumed" Executive Duties

  Karen Hayes : I have to go back

  Bill Buchanan : You think Daniels will have you back? You already tendered your resignation

  Karen Hayes : Nothing's been processed: technically I can withdraw my resignation. I've got to go back, I'll call you when I get there ok?

  Bill Buchanan : [Before hanging]  alright
