Quotes 

• James Heller : [Addressing CTU staff]  for those of you that don't know: this is Michelle Dessler, she'll be taking over as acting Director of CTU effective immediately. Tony, I appreciate you "carrying the ball" until Michelle got here, why don't you bring her and everyone else up to speed?

  Tony Almeida : Yes sir, less than an hour ago, we discovered the man responsible for planning today's attacks Habib Marwan has been a long term employee McLennan-Forrester, the third largest defense contractor in the country. Now we know Marwan has been using the alias "Harris Barnes", what we don't know yet is how he managed to evade their security checks, Marwan knows we're looking for him so his probably gone "dark". His association with McLennan-Forrester is our primary focus, Jack Bauer and Paul Raines went to the company to inspect his computer files but as they were doing so an electromagnetic pulse bomb was detonated wiping out the company's database

  Sarah Gavin : It also fried every electrical device within an eight mile radius. Street lights, computers, cars, cell phones, everything

  Michelle Dessler : Were Jack and Paul able to find anything before detonation?

  Tony Almeida : Yeah but we weren't able to contact them since the blast. We have to assume whoever detonated the EMP "thinks" Jack and Paul found something and wants them eliminated

  Michelle Dessler : Have rescue teams been sent into the area?

  Tony Almeida : Not yet. Once we confirmed the effects subsided, we'll send two full teams in with fully functional electronics, the only problem is until we find Jack and Paul, we're not going to be able to do much

  Michelle Dessler : [to the CTU staff]  we want to do everything we can to find Jack Bauer and Paul Raines but the priority to retrieve any information they found at McLennan-Forrester, that's all

• Sarah Gavin : You're aware I was falsely accused of leaking information earlier today?

  Michelle Dessler : Yes, I saw the report

  Sarah Gavin : Erin Driscoll didn't talk to you about it? Or leave a memo?

  Michelle Dessler : Her daughter died today, I think she has other things on her mind

  Sarah Gavin : I understand but there still some "things" that need to be "handled"

  Michelle Dessler : [Confused]  what "things"?

  Sarah Gavin : Well, she promised the accusations would be expunged from my record and I'd be bumped up two pay grades as compensation so I just want to make sure that would still happen

  Michelle Dessler : I'll look into it but not today

  Sarah Gavin : What happened to me was an outrage. Now if you don't do something to resolve it right now, I'll go directly to Secretary Heller

  Michelle Dessler : [Stands up from her desk]  Secretary Heller doesn't run CTU, I do and I am ordering you to go back to work

  Sarah Gavin : Not until you assure me the false be expunged and my pay grade changed

  Michelle Dessler : [after picking up the phone]  I need security over to station one

  Sarah Gavin : Security? What for?

  Michelle Dessler : I need people whose minds are on their job: yours isn't

  Sarah Gavin : Oh, so you're firing me? You can't do that, you need me, I'm juggling active protocol

  Michelle Dessler : We'll manage
