John Gallagher Jr.: Jim Harper

Quotes 

• Jim Harper : [Entering the control room]  Do you have the first idea how any of this equipment works?

  Don Keefer : I don't know how electricity works. Just start pressing buttons.

• Don Keefer : [Cocky, still wearing a headset]  Freedom won, and not a bullet was fired.

  Jim Harper : [Just as smug as Don]  Let this day be recorded in the all...

  Maggie Jordan : Your fly's unzipped.

  [She leaves the control room] 

  Jim Harper : I'm not sure how I feel about new confident Maggie.

  Don Keefer : She's lookin' good.

  Sloan Sabbith : [From the studio set]  I can still hear you.

  Don Keefer : [pause]  Do you think there's any chance she's, uh...

  Sloan Sabbith : I'm not pretending.

• Maggie Jordan : I have here an EPA report that's been embargoed.

  Jim Harper : How'd you get it?

  Maggie Jordan : It doesn't matter. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego measured the levels of carbon dioxide atop Mauna Loa, a volcano in Hawaii, and found that it's passed a long feared milestone: 400 parts per million, which is a concentration not seen on Earth in millions of years.

  Jim Harper : [pause]  Here's what happened. You started talking about CO2 levels, and I started thinking about other things in my head.
