Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  are we secure?

  Michelle Dessler : My cell's scrambled but don't call me on any agency numbers: I'm being monitored

  Jack Bauer : You were right, Syed Ali's recording was fake. The President is about to invade the Middle East based on falsified evidence

  Michelle Dessler : Do you have proof?

  Jack Bauer : No, not yet but I can get it. I need your help

  Michelle Dessler : It's going to be difficult. Tony's been breathing down my neck ever since I helped you get out of here

  Jack Bauer : You're going to have to get around it. I need infrared satellite at my position now

  Michelle Dessler : Where are you?

  Jack Bauer : You can get the coordinates off my cell phone connection and get back to me

  Michelle Dessler : What're you looking for?

  Jack Bauer : We're surrounded. There's three of us inside, I need to know how many men there are and what their positions are. I've got a friendly at the north end of the alley, behind the dumpster

  Michelle Dessler : Alright, I'll see what I can do

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  thanks

• Jack Bauer : [Over the cell phone, while in the bathroom]  yeah?

  Michelle Dessler : I don't have a lot of time: are you ready?

  Jack Bauer : Give me one sec

  Jack Bauer : [after turning on his cell phone]  OK, I'm ready

  Michelle Dessler : I count eleven, including your friendly. I'm sending you their positions on your infrared map. Their all stationary except for one. His roving. You got it?

  Jack Bauer : [after his cell phone downloaded the positions]  yeah I got it

  Michelle Dessler : Look, how much longer do you need to stay anonymous?

  Jack Bauer : I don't know. Why?

  Michelle Dessler : Tony's watching me

• Tony Almeida : [Waiting for her outside the women's bathroom]  you always take your phone with you to the bathroom? Where's Jack?

  Michelle Dessler : I don't know

  Tony Almeida : We've been monitoring all communications going in and out of this building all day: if you're breaking protocol...

  Michelle Dessler : [Interrupts him]  I'm not

  Tony Almeida : Alright, I'll ask it again, where's Jack?

  Michelle Dessler : [Sternly]  I don't know. But you have to call President Palmer, you have to tell him not to act on the recording until Jack finishes the investigation

  Tony Almeida : So you have talked to Jack?

  Michelle Dessler : [while walking away]  I didn't say that

  Tony Almeida : [after grabbing her arm]  listen carefully, you don't work for Jack, you work for me

  Michelle Dessler : Would you get past your ego for one...?

  Tony Almeida : [Interrupts her]  ego? I got a job to do here, you don't like the way I'm doing it, that's your problem but if you know anything about Jack, you better tell me about it right now

  Michelle Dessler : I have no information. I'm not helping Jack

  Tony Almeida : I hope you're not lying to me

• Michelle Dessler : Carrie

  Carrie Turner : Yeah?

  Tony Almeida : LAPD just called, there's automatic weapon fire at Studio City. Police arriving are finding bodies and military spec weapons, communications' got the address, check it against the coordinates of the images Michelle pulled off the satellite alright?

  Carrie Turner : Right away

  Tony Almeida : [Irritated]  Is it the location Michelle? Is it? The police just got there and they got four bodies, so let's talk

  Michelle Dessler : Yeah, that's it

  Tony Almeida : Alright, we've got to call him immediately, he might need our help

  Michelle Dessler : Jack made it very clear: the only way to get the proof on this tape is if CTU stays out of this

  Tony Almeida : [Raises his voice]  we don't even know if his still alive

  Michelle Dessler : [Dialing the number on a landline]  his on an open channel. You won't be able to trace it but you can talk to him

• Michelle Dessler : I know the rules: I know that I work for you and if you fire me, I wouldn't blame you

  Tony Almeida : This isn't about me firing you, this agency is suppose to be supporting the President of the United States and the rest of this country. Now if I can't account for our agent's actions, all we've got is chaos

  Michelle Dessler : Jack was in an impossible situation, all I was trying to do was to help him get the proof that the Cypress recording is a forgery

  Tony Almeida : Yeah? Where's the proof? We don't any proof, we don't have Jack. He doesn't want to be found. What'd you want from me?

  Michelle Dessler : I just wanted to say I'm sorry

  Tony Almeida : Yeah, well, you've said it. If you don't mind I've got work to do
