Quotes
-
Lynne Kresge : Sir, the press is starting to ask questions: they know you cut your fishing trip short and they'd like to know why
Lynne Kresge : [after the President sighs] if you'd like I can get Jenny to take care of it
President David Palmer : No, I better take care of it myself
Lynne Kresge : Yes Sir
Eric Rayburn : Sir, we've got a lot to cover
President David Palmer : I have to deal with the press
Eric Rayburn : Sir, we have a serious situation here. Taking a time out to coddle the media
President David Palmer : What you don't get Eric is once the rumor mill starts, then we've got two problems: the last thing we need mass hysteria

President David Palmer : Are we narrowing things down the wrong way? I mean are we making any head way?
Eric Rayburn : It's too soon to tell
President David Palmer : Too soon? Aren't we operating under the assumption this bomb could go off at any moment?
Eric Rayburn : What can I say Mr. President I've never been sanguine about our chances of stopping it, not with just a few hours warning
President David Palmer : What does that suppose to mean?
Eric Rayburn : I'm not going to give up Sir. Every protocol is being followed, every resource is being tapped but if I were you I'd give serious thought about what your plan of action will be if in fact we have a detonation. So I still feel a discussion with the Pentagon this morning is in order
President David Palmer : Alright, thanks
Eric Rayburn : Yes Sir
