Quotes

Palmer: Mr. Prescott, there seems to be a collective feeling that a discussion is called for. In the interest in putting this behind us, I'll agree on one condition. When it's over, if I'm supported you tender your resignation as vice president of this country.
Prescott: Very well, Mr. President.
Secretary of State: I, uh, suggest we all take a few minutes to compose ourselves and, uh, then get on with the proceeding.
Palmer: Let's not mince words, Mr. Secretary. You mean the trial of David Palmer. (edit)
Pierce: I'm not a lawyer, sir, but as far as I can tell, the Constitution has been followed. I have no choice but to ask you to come with us. I'm sorry, sir. (edit)
Palmer: Listen to me, follow me. I know your not in the same room with me... but you can see and hear me plainly enough. Take a good look . Do I seem scared? Am I breaking into a nervous sweat? Am I babbling at a loss for words? Is my voice shaking? Can anyone of you look me in the eye and tell me I'm disabled? (edit)
Palmer: I'm the President, Mike. You don't call me by my first name. (edit)
