Quotes 

• Rescue Worker : [Before walking away]  everything in your car I had cleared out and put it in the ambulance so whenever you're ready to go to the hospital

  George Mason : [Asking how he'll die from radiation poisoning]  so, how's it going to happen?

  Rescue Worker : Excuse me?

  George Mason : You said I might be dead by tomorrow so I'm curious to know what to expect for the rest of the day

  Rescue Worker : There's a latent period where you will be mostly asymptomatic even in the most extreme cases, radiation poisoning can last a while

  George Mason : What's a while?

  Rescue Worker : Up to twelve hours, maybe longer. How do you feel now?

  George Mason : I'm going to puke

  Rescue Worker : I can give you something to control the nausea. At least until the symptoms are more acute

  George Mason : Yeah, like what?

  Rescue Worker : Your hair will start to fall out

  George Mason : [Jokingly]  I'm used to that

  Rescue Worker : You'll start to manifest gastrointestinal hemorrhaging: skin legions, bleeding from the mouth, and nose

  George Mason : How am I going to die?

  Rescue Worker : Your mental functioning will begin to deteriorate and you'll lapse into a coma

  Paramedic : [Interrupting them]  Mr. Mason

  Rescue Worker : Not now

  Paramedic : [Handing George a phone]  it's the guy from your office Tony Almeida

  Rescue Worker : I said not now

  George Mason : [Over the phone]  hey Tony what is it?

  Tony Almeida : They hit us George. They bombed CTU

  George Mason : [Surprised]  what kind of damage?

  Tony Almeida : Damage reports are still coming in but so far we got nineteen of our people dead, twenty wounded, and seven missing

  Tony Almeida : Look, we're bleeding back here. All of our Intel on the nuke was destroyed. I mean it's on the NSA server but Paula wrote the decryption code and she's in really bad shape

  George Mason : Well, do whatever you have to retrieve it

  Tony Almeida : Yeah well I am. That's what I'm trying to do. That's why I called you. Chain of command remember?

  George Mason : Call NSA systems people and get them on it
