Alan Milliken : [Over the phone] what do you want?
Wayne Palmer : You know I always thought you had more balls than to threaten me through my brother but you can't talk to me man to man?
Alan Milliken : I don't owe you an explanation. You slept with my wife
Wayne Palmer : That's between you and me
Alan Milliken : Fine. Step down, then it all goes away
Wayne Palmer : That's not your decision
Alan Milliken : We'll see
President David Palmer : [Surprising Wayne by walking up behind him] who are you talking to?
Wayne Palmer : Alan Milliken

President David Palmer : I am not firing my brother
Alan Milliken : That's too bad

Wayne Palmer : [while hugging] what're you doing in here?
Sherry Palmer : Oh, I'm just waiting for them to prepare an office for me
Wayne Palmer : It's good to see you but to be blunt, I don't think your being here is such a good idea
Sherry Palmer : Well of course you don't sweetie because this whole thing is about your indiscretion with Julia and I say that with no judgment
Wayne Palmer : Of course you do because you're the last person on earth who's in a position to pass judgment
Sherry Palmer : Ok let's not play this: we're both too good at it. So, what'd you want me to hear?
Wayne Palmer : Listen, I do appreciate you coming down here...
Sherry Palmer : [Interrupts him] no, no. Skip that part
Wayne Palmer : I forgot part about you, do whatever it is you do around here for a few hours but then I want you to tell David you are unable to find out anything you can use on Alan Milliken
Sherry Palmer : You know if I do that, the only way out of this is if you resign
Wayne Palmer : Which is what I want to do
Sherry Palmer : Well David doesn't want that. Frankly, neither do I
Wayne Palmer : Why do you care?
Sherry Palmer : Because David needs someone like me. Someone who sees things the way they really are, whose not afraid to throw a punch every now and then. It's obvious I can't play that role anymore, but you can. I feel good knowing David's got you and I can make sure he keeps you so save your breath, I'm going to fix this and make sure your brother gets reelected
Wayne Palmer : [Stands up] fine, but don't you forget how dangerous Alan Milliken can be
Sherry Palmer : Oh, I won't forget. I'm afraid you're the one who forgot when you decided to get involved with his wife

Alan Milliken : You got it backwards: your brother should've stayed away from my wife
President David Palmer : Come on, it's over
Alan Milliken : [while on his computer] really? I'm looking at photographs of her and Wayne together an hour ago
President David Palmer : He was just trying to convince her into talking some sense to you
