Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : [after hanging up the phone with Chloe when she confirmed the background information Stoller told him]  you were with Collette Stenger: we need her to help find Vladimir Bierko

  Theo Stoller : How do you know him?

  Jack Bauer : Bierko's responsible for terrorist earlier in the city today. His preparing another one as we speak, Stenger is the only way we can find him. Where is she?

  Theo Stoller : I can't help you

  Jack Bauer : Why not?

  Theo Stoller : Giving up Collette jeopardizes my operation

  Jack Bauer : What operation?

  Theo Stoller : I've been undercover for the last six months, gathering Intel on Collette's clientele. We've identified cells in three countries connected to a dozen more. She's too valuable to give up

  Jack Bauer : If we don't find Bierko, hundreds of thousands of innocent people will die here today. That is more important than your preemptive operation

  Theo Stoller : It's not a question of importance, it's a question of different agendas. Your job is to save American lives, my job is to save German lives. Your asking me to betray my duty to my country, ask yourself what you would do if you were in my position

  Jack Bauer : You better start asking yourself what you would do if you were in mine

  Theo Stoller : I'm here with the permission of your government: you can't touch me

  Jack Bauer : Right, we'll see about that

• Jack Bauer : Your intelligence agency denied our request for cooperation: so is your government

  Theo Stoller : I'm not surprised. Collette Stenger is a "golden goose", there's no upside in giving her up

  Jack Bauer : Maybe I could provide you with one?

  Theo Stoller : Meaning?

  Jack Bauer : I will give you something that's more valuable than Collette Stenger

  Theo Stoller : It's hard to know what that might be

  Jack Bauer : Our roster of all known terrorist suspects working around the world: our "wet list"

  Theo Stoller : As allies, we've requested this "wet list" many times before. The NSA has always said giving us the list would jeopardize operations

  Jack Bauer : It will. I don't work for NSA, I don't work for CTU. This is personal, right now you're not giving me another choice

  Theo Stoller : Alright, I'll give you Collette in exchange for the "wet list"

  Jack Bauer : [Before taking out his cell phone]  good, let's see what we can do

  Theo Stoller : I'm aware of several names that should be on that list: don't try to pass me a fake
