Quotes
-
Mikhail Novakovich : Thank you for seeing me, I know that you are very busy
President Allison Taylor : It's alright, please sit down
Mikhail Novakovich : Can I assume that there's a "change" in the status of President Hassan?
President Allison Taylor : I'm afraid not
Mikhail Novakovich : Then he is still being held by terrorists?
President Allison Taylor : For now, yes
Mikhail Novakovich : Are you "hopeful" that CTU can recover him?
President Allison Taylor : We're following a lead now and yes we are very "hopeful"
Mikhail Novakovich : What is the nature of the lead?
President Allison Taylor : I'd rather not get into specifics: you will be told the second we know
Mikhail Novakovich : I need to stress if President Hassan isn't recovered, his government will be in disarray: the peace agreement will have no chance of success
President Allison Taylor : I'm aware of that... there's no point to speculate on a worst case scenario, we're not there yet
Mikhail Novakovich : I just want to make our position clear: if Hassan dies, there is no agreement
President Allison Taylor : If I didn't know better, I think you were "hoping" for that would happen?
Mikhail Novakovich : Madam President...
President Allison Taylor : [Sternly] you believe this treaty will weaken your "influence" in the region. Your country has been looking for any excuse to pull out
Mikhail Novakovich : I realize you are under a great deal of pressure but there is no reason for these "baseless" accusations: my country has been more than supportive. We are "here", are we not?
President Allison Taylor : Perhaps I spoke too harshly? I just don't need you to remind me how perilous the situation is. I do appreciate your support and I "hope" I can count on it when we find President Hassan
Mikhail Novakovich : Of course
