Cherry Jones: President Allison Taylor

Quotes 

• President Allison Taylor : [Talking privately, referring to what's written on a piece of paper]  is this true?

  Tim Woods : I'm afraid so ma'am: details are "sketchy" but as of fifteen minutes ago, Jack Bauer stormed the safe house overwhelmed security and "took" Dana Walsh

  President Allison Taylor : Do we have idea where they are?

  Tim Woods : [Slightly shakes his head]  a hard target search is already underway

  President Allison Taylor : Your note also mentioned Charles Logan

  Tim Woods : Yes ma'am his been calling and demanding to speak with you: he insists that I interrupt the press conference

• President Allison Taylor : [Over the phone, referring to Jack kidnapping Dana Walsh]  how in God's name could this have happened?

  Charles Logan : The important thing is not to panic

  President Allison Taylor : [Raises her voice]  you "assured" me Dana Walsh would be "more secure" in the hands of your private contractors

  Charles Logan : We didn't move her out of CTU solely for "security reasons" as I'm sure you remember?

  President Allison Taylor : Do you have me on speaker? Pick up the damn phone

  Charles Logan : Forgive me, I wasn't thinking

  President Allison Taylor : Apparently, neither was I

  Charles Logan : It's a little late for "buyer's remorse", especially because... I was calling with a "solution" to our current problem: Bauer may have Walsh but can't have the evidence yet, we still have a "chance" to stop him

  President Allison Taylor : How?

  Charles Logan : By putting "somebody" inside CTU: "someone's" whose "loyalties" aren't "split", who won't hesitate to see the mission through no matter what the cost

  President Allison Taylor : I already "replaced" one director, I cannot "replace" another

  Charles Logan : No, not a new director: just "someone" to supervise the manhunt for Bauer, I'm recommending Jason Pillar

  President Allison Taylor : Your aid?

  Charles Logan : His federal bureau trained, he was second in command at DIA during the Daniels Administration and he made a name for himself in Afghanistan chasing high value targets behind enemy lines

  Charles Logan : [When she doesn't respond]  of course if you have a better idea, I'll gladly take a step back

  President Allison Taylor : [after thinking it over]  look, I'll tell Tim Woods, that I support you making "operational" change but that's it: no more excuses
