Quotes 

• Janis Gold : [upon seeing the CTU logo light up on FBI computer screens]  Hello, Big Brother.

• Renee Walker : [During a briefing]  alright, before we begin everyone make sure you have your updated briefing packets and the latest CDC abstract. Jack, whenever you're ready

  Jack Bauer : Thank you, I know many of you have lost friends and colleagues today, I have too. Unfortunately, the time to mourn these brave men and women is going to have to wait. As many of you are already aware, we're facing the threat of a terrorist event somewhere on the eastern sea border. We don't have specific intel on a timetable of this attack but we do have reason to believe that the people behind this will want to strike immediately

  Tim Moran : [Introduces himself]  excuse me, Tim Moran Field Ops. Who are the people behind this?

  Jack Bauer : Right now we only have two confirmed suspects: Tony Almeida and the woman he's been working with, we're still trying to identify her

  Renee Walker : The assumption is the two of are part of a broader conspiracy as outlined in your briefing material

  Tim Moran : And the nature of the attack? All it says here it's biological

  Jack Bauer : The actual pathogen is a Prion variant designed to attack the central nervous system and ultimately destroy it

  Janis Gold : Do we know what the target is?

  Jack Bauer : No, not yet: we're also unclear on the specifics on the delivery device

  Tim Moran : Well, what leads do we have?

  Jack Bauer : Right now, we're solely working off an operation theory that the people behind this will need to manufacture evidence in an effort to offload the blame for this attack to another group or an individual with terrorist sympathies. During the ensuing panic, these people will move in and seize power under the guise of creating and maintaining stability

  Renee Walker : So our job here is to look for traces of that manufactured evidence

  Janis Gold : How exactly?

  Renee Walker : Pattern searches of suspicious financial transactions, keyword intercepts of existing wiretaps of websites, emails, and data mining of all of NSA and CIA intelligence on jihadist activities over the past six months

  Janis Gold : Excuse me, not only that type of "blanket" surveillance illegal, we don't have the capacity to pull it off: a search algorism simply don't exist

  Renee Walker : Yes, they do at CTU

  Janis Gold : Those servers were decommissioned

  Renee Walker : Not anymore, we're in the process of installing them now

  Janis Gold : What does that make us? "CTU light?" Last I heard the Bureau was a federal entity bound by federal statute

  Renee Walker : Janis, do this or I will someone else who will. I do not have time to argue

  Janis Gold : I'm not arguing, I'm "asking"

• Jack Bauer : [irritated of hearing Janis constantly complaining, rushing up to her]  look, if your need to complain is more important than the lives of the people that are counting on us, go whine somewhere else!

  Chloe O'Brian : Jack, it's ok

  Jack Bauer : No, it is not ok. President David Palmer re-commissioned these servers because he felt it were vital to national security President Palmer made the call! Is that going to be good enough for you? Answer me

  Janis Gold : [nervously, before Jack Walks away]  yes

  Chloe O'Brian : [referring to the fact that Jack mistakenly thought President Palmer was still in Office]  there's something really wrong with him

  Chloe O'Brian : He said President Palmer

  Janis Gold : He meant Taylor

  Chloe O'Brian : He said it twice
