Quotes 

• Osterlind : They're grounding flights from LAX.

  Stephen Saunders : Did all the couriers get out with their vials?

  Osterlind : New York, Washington, San Francisco made it through; they're on their way. I re-routed Las Vegas; our man is driving there now. But we missed Chicago and Cleveland.

  Stephen Saunders : Did you revise the casualty projections?

  Osterlind : Of course.

  [hands him folder] 

  Osterlind : Here they are.

  Stephen Saunders : Just give me the number.

  Osterlind : Two to five million dead within the first 48 hours.

  Stephen Saunders : [shrugs]  Good enough.

• Stephen Saunders : So, Michael... tell me how it went down in Mexico.

  Michael Amador : I didn't think you needed to know... as long as you got what you wanted.

  Stephen Saunders : You were stupid enough to believe that Jack Bauer had turned against CTU, and now you've got every intelligence agency in the country after you.

  Michael Amador : Bauer's story checked out.
