Quotes
-
Wayne Palmer : [Over the phone] I thought I was clear, you can't be contacting me today
Julia Milliken : I'm scared: they've already started questioning Beatrice and I'm next. I don't know what to say
Wayne Palmer : Where's your lawyer?
Julia Milliken : His not here yet
Wayne Palmer : Ok, first of all, you're innocent, remember that alright?
Julia Milliken : I'm not innocent. I let Sherry convince me not to give Alan his medication, I could've saved his life
Wayne Palmer : You don't know that
Julia Milliken : What about Sherry? Has she said anything to the President?
Wayne Palmer : No, she told him it was an accident. Whether he believes her is another matter
Wayne Palmer : [after David unexpectedly walks up to him then pretends to be talking to someone else] yeah, Bill the President just walked in so I'm going to have to get back to you
Julia Milliken : [after he pauses] Wayne?
Julia Milliken : I'm so scared
Wayne Palmer : Yeah, I understand that remember what I said ok?
Julia Milliken : Yeah
Wayne Palmer : [Before hanging up] alright
President David Palmer : What did Bill have to say?
Wayne Palmer : He found out Alan died
President David Palmer : That didn't take long
Wayne Palmer : Yeah, he wants us to know we have his support on the health care bill
President David Palmer : That's good
President David Palmer : [Before Wayne walks away] have you spoken to Julia yet?
Wayne Palmer : No
President David Palmer : Maybe you should call her? Get her side of the story
Wayne Palmer : I think we should stay far away as possible
President David Palmer : Which means you don't believe Sherry? That it was an accident?
Wayne Palmer : I don't know what to believe, all I know is what it will look like you calling Sherry to deal with Milliken and a few hours later he winds up dead

Sherry Palmer : What's going on?
Sherry Palmer : You tell me
Sherry Palmer : Look, it's late and I'm a little too tired...
Wayne Palmer : [Interrupts her] I know about Alan Milliken
Sherry Palmer : Yes, it's awful but I already told David what happened
Wayne Palmer : Except you left out the part about you preventing Julia from giving Alan his medication: you stood there and watched a man die
Sherry Palmer : You would've done the same thing had you been there
Wayne Palmer : [Angrily] I wouldn't have been there in the first place
Sherry Palmer : Listen, David asked me to come here to help clean up your mess, what did you think he expected me to do?
Wayne Palmer : What he expected for you was to get Alan off his back but not like this
Sherry Palmer : Complex problems sometimes have the simplest solutions
Wayne Palmer : Oh, for God's sake
Sherry Palmer : You're upset. That's understandable but what's done is done
Wayne Palmer : You are insane
Sherry Palmer : We can control the situation, we just need to be on the same page
Wayne Palmer : No, I'm sorry but David's going to have to handle this
Sherry Palmer : David can't know about this. For his own protection, if he doesn't know anything, he has nothing to deny
Wayne Palmer : We can't cover this thing up
Sherry Palmer : We can and we will, that's why you're talking to me instead of David because you understand what has to happen
Wayne Palmer : Yeah, you've got it all figured out don't you?
Sherry Palmer : What did you say to Julia?
Wayne Palmer : Not to talk to anyone until she spoke to a lawyer
Sherry Palmer : Good then as long she keeps her mouth shut, we'll both be fine

Wayne Palmer : No
President David Palmer : I'm your brother, I think I know when there's something on your mind
Wayne Palmer : No, I just want to make sure your ok
President David Palmer : I'll let you know when this is all over
Wayne Palmer : I joined your Administration because I thought I'd be an asset. The last thing I ever wanted was to be a thorn in your side
President David Palmer : You are an asset
Wayne Palmer : There are a lot of other smart people out there you could've hired
President David Palmer : But none that I trust as much as you
