Quotes 

• Olivia Taylor : [after entering into his office]  I just came to say how sorry I am

  Ethan Kanin : Well, I appreciate the courtesy: if not the sincerity

  Olivia Taylor : [Referring to him voluntarily resigning]  as much as I feel this is what's best for my mother, on a personal level, I'm sorry you had to go through this, and for some of the harsher things I said to you in anger

  Ethan Kanin : Well, I suppose I owe you an apology too, for accusing of leaking my role in this to the press. I really believe you're trying to blindside me

  Olivia Taylor : [Amused]  come on, considering the impression I gave you, I'm not surprised

  Ethan Kanin : As someone who's known you for most of her life, I'd like to offer some advice

  Olivia Taylor : Of course

  Ethan Kanin : Ambition can be a valuable quality: here in Washington, as well as life, and if unchecked, it can be unhealthy, if not dangerous. You've got yourself a seat at the table, she listens to you. But running a country isn't like running a campaign. It's not about doing whatever it takes to win, it's about doing what's right for the American people

  Olivia Taylor : Sometimes those things aren't "mutually exclusive"

• Olivia Taylor : [Over the phone]  it's me, you can go ahead with that story: it just got better

  Ken Dellao : Tell me

  Olivia Taylor : Ethan Kanin is resigning

  Ken Dellao : What happened? I thought the plan was for him to "twist in the wind" for a while?

  Olivia Taylor : His hand was forced. It seems Jack Bauer just murdered Senator Mayer

  Ken Dellao : [Shocked]  what? Does anybody have this yet?

  Olivia Taylor : Not yet: it's all yours and it's in time for the eleven o'clock news. I told you I'd take care of you didn't I?

  Ken Dellao : You're too good to me

  Olivia Taylor : You just hold up your end, make sure Kanin is the fall guy. My mother's nowhere near this, understand?

  Ken Dellao : She really doesn't have idea that you're the leak?

  Olivia Taylor : No, and it better stay that way

  Ken Dellao : She won't hear it from me. I want to know when we're having that dinner you promised

  Olivia Taylor : Maybe next week?

  Ken Dellao : You always say "next week"

  Olivia Taylor : You better get to work if you're going to make that broadcast
