Alan Milliken: [Over the phone] what do you want?
Wayne Palmer: You know I always thought you had more balls than to threaten me through my brother but you can't talk to me man to man?
Alan Milliken: I don't owe you an explanation. You slept with my wife
Wayne Palmer: That's between you and me
Alan Milliken: Fine. Step down, then it all goes away
Wayne Palmer: That's not your decision
Alan Milliken: We'll see
President David Palmer: [Surprising Wayne by walking up behind him] who are you talking to?
Wayne Palmer: Alan Milliken
President David Palmer: The hell you think you're doing?
Wayne Palmer: [Before handing David the phone] cleaning up my own mess
President David Palmer: Hello Alan
Alan Milliken: That brother of yours is going to be your undoing
President David Palmer: I am not firing my brother
Alan Milliken: That's too bad
President David Palmer: And I have no intention on losing my health care bill. I spent two years putting it together
Alan Milliken: Except your three votes short last time I checked, you better brace yourself for some disappointment
President David Palmer: I don't want to go to war with you
Alan Milliken: It's your choice Mr. President
President David Palmer: The choice you're giving me is unacceptable, there has to be another way to work this out
Alan Milliken: On any other issue I'd bend over backwards for you: not on this one
President David Palmer: Then you have only yourself to blame for the consequences and I promise you, you won't like them
