Quotes
-
Karen Hayes : [Before hugging] how are you holding up?
Sandra Palmer : I can't believe this is happening: it doesn't feel "real"
Karen Hayes : I'm so sorry. Unfortunately, I need to ask you for your help. There's a extremely volatile situation developing at the White House. Daniels is about to launch a nuclear strike against the Middle East
Sandra Palmer : A nuclear strike?
Karen Hayes : And the Cabinet is behind him. I've tried arguing against it but no one's listening
Sandra Palmer : Are they insane?
Karen Hayes : No, they're just scared. Before the attempted the assassination on your brother, Wayne was "reaching out" to the Middle East governments to solicit their help in stopping Fayed and it was working: this strike is a complete reversal of "everything" he was working for
Sandra Palmer : You want Dr. Welton to bring him out of the coma?
Karen Hayes : Yes and I need your consent
Sandra Palmer : But the doctor said he needs to "remain" sedated for a "few days" before the swelling can subside
Karen Hayes : But we don't have a "few days"
Sandra Palmer : Yeah, well even if Wayne regains consciousness, we don't know what "state" he'll be in: physically or mentally
Karen Hayes : We won't know unless we "try", I wouldn't dare to ask you this if I did not think it was absolutely necessary for the sake of our country
Sandra Palmer : [Shaking her head] I'm sorry, I can't do it
Karen Hayes : [as Sandra tries to walk away] please?
Sandra Palmer : I've already lost one brother, I can't lose another one
Karen Hayes : I know you did not ask for this responsibility but like it or not, it is yours. Wayne Palmer is still the President of our country, he's the only one who can stop this from happening and you are the only one who can give Wayne the chance to do what he believes in. Give him that chance, ask yourself what Wayne would've wanted you to do
Sandra Palmer : [Nodding] I'll talk to Dr. Welton and God forgive me if I'm wrong
