The Best Milo Pressman Quotes

Morris: [Sarcastically to Nadia, referring to the speed of her getting her work done] could we go a little slower? There's no rush
Nadia: Morris, I'm going as fast as I can: why don't you go back to your station? I'll send it over as soon as I'm ready
Morris: No, I'm curious as to why it's taking you five minutes to do something that should take... ten seconds
Milo: [Walking up to them] because I borrowed two of her processors to run a back channel: she's running on twenty percent
Morris: Oh, yeah? Then why didn't "someone" tell me this?
Milo: I just did
Morris: [to Nadia while walking away] fine. Don't keep any secrets from me darling, we're all on the same side alright?
Nadia: Why'd you lie for me?
Milo: I talked to Buchanan
Nadia: [Referring to government limiting her access because of her ethnicity] It's frustrating
Milo: I'm sorry
Nadia: [after he starts typing on the computer] what're you doing?
Milo: I'm logging you in under my user ID
Nadia: That's illegal
Milo: You didn't do it, I did
Nadia: Thank you

Milo: [while working next to each other] damn it Morris, I didn't want these in tabs, I want these in tables like I told you
Morris: I work much faster in tabs. I thought that is what you wanted?
Milo: No, it's not what I wanted: you're just being a pain in the ass
Morris: [Stands up] you know what? Nobody speaks to me like this
Milo: [Stands up] I just did, so what? Why don't you sit down and get back to work
Chloe: [Walking up to them, after noticing them arguing] this has got to stop: everyone is extremely busy and you two are just distracting everyone around you
Milo: [to Morris] if you can explain to him about following directions...
Morris: [Interrupts him] following directions? Is this what you call this power trip you're on?
Milo: Oh, come on
Chloe: We know all what this is about. Milo, you and I dated a couple times before Morris and I got back together. We saw a couple of good movies but we both agreed it wasn't really "happening"
Milo: Yeah
Chloe: [to Morris] and you, so I dated Milo a couple times, but I chose you so why don't you get over it and stop trying to beat him up?
Morris: [to Chloe] you think this is about my "insecurities"?
Chloe: Yeah, isn't it?
Morris: [Sitting down at his computer] ok fine, you know it in table format, you'll get it in table format. Let's just stop this mad psychotic terrorist bad guy before he detonates a nuke on Wilshire Boulevard, alright?
Chloe: [Before walking away] thank you
Morris: [to Milo as he sits next to him] sorry about that mate and just for the record: there's no lingering jealousy about any films you two may have seen together

Milo: [Talking privately] it's Morris' brother
Chloe: Timothy?
Milo: His on his way to Horizon Regional hospital for severe radiation exposure
Chloe: [Looking at the report he handed her] it says his in critical condition, I'll tell him
Milo: I think we should hold off
Chloe: Why?
Milo: Morris is the best hope for restoring that file, if we drop this on him now, he might completely shut down
Chloe: It's his brother: we can't keep it a secret
Milo: I understand this might sound insensitive, but for a second, put aside the personal feelings so Morris can "consider" what's at stake. We need him to restore that file
Chloe: I know Morris can handle this

Milo: I've told you twenty times: you don't send out a report without a certified header on
Morris: This make twenty one, I'll keep you an update on the count
Milo: Do you and I'm just curious ever open your mouth without sarcasm just spilling out of it?
Morris: [Ignoring him] I'm sorry, are we done here?
Milo: I'm just telling you to be careful, otherwise you will find yourself back selling ladies shoes in Beverly Hills
Morris: You're really settling well into the whole "middle management" thing aren't you?
Milo: What's your problem with me?
Morris: I liked you fine as an analyst, actually you were very good, as a boss: a bit of a bore
Chloe: [Walks up to them, before Milo walks away] what's going on?
Milo: [Referring to Morris] talk to your boyfriend, his on "self destruct"
Chloe: You promised me you'd get along with Milo
Morris: I'm sorry darling, that's just a promise I can't keep
Chloe: I had the same problem with department when I first started, then I learned how to fit in. There's no reason why you can't
Morris: Except I don't happen to be a pretty lady
Chloe: What're you talking about?
Morris: You're a hottie
Chloe: No, I'm not
Morris: [Seductively rubs her lower back] yes, you are: deal with it
Chloe: We're at work
Morris: So?
Chloe: It's unprofessional
Morris: You're saying you don't like it?
Chloe: [Before accessing his computer] no, I'm not saying that. I just came to see if you got a request from Homeland on a priority channel
Morris: No
Chloe: Why'd they send it only to me?
Morris: I don't know
Chloe: [Referring to his working relationship with Milo] just try to get along

Morris: How you holding up?
Milo: I'll be ok
Morris: So, what happened?
Milo: It was just stupid, I was never trained to be a field agent
Morris: Well, maybe they should because you protected Marilyn Bauer: that's what I heard
Milo: I had no idea what I was doing. Things just happened so fast
Morris: Don't "downplay" it to make me feel better, you don't have to do that

Mike: [In an interrogation room] I'm going to ask you again, help me put an end to this
Mike: [as she is silent, grabs her throat] I'm warning you, I will do what's "necessary" to get the answers I need. do you understand me?
Nadia: [after he lets go of her throat] I understand everything, I read your file. I know what you did in Denver: you enjoy hurting people. You "get off" from it
Mike: We're not here to talk about me. We're here to talk about what you know
Nadia: [Raises her voice, before he pulls the back of her hair] I don't know anything
Milo: [Enters the room] get away from her Doyle. I said let her go
Mike: [Let's go of Nadia's hair, to Milo] what the hell are you doing?
Milo: We got the drone pilot's location through Nadia's computer
Mike: Where is it?
Milo: Three blocks from here: 15-30 Hill Crest
Mike: [while leaving the room] we're not through with her Milo
Milo: Are you ok?
Nadia: [Nods] you know I didn't have anything to do with this

Bill: [while entering the conference room] alright, I want to introduce everyone to Mike Doyle: his the new head of Field Ops just in from Fort Bragg. I want all tactical and COMM agents to report to him directly. Jack Bauer is currently being held captive in the Russian Consulate, I haven't opened up that information to anyone on the outside. Doyle will help you put a tactical profile together for an assault on the Consulate
Milo: So we're prepared to provoke an international incident just to "liberate" one of our own operatives?
Mike: No, "liberating" Jack is a secondary goal: our "primary" objective is to abduct Anatoly Markov, the Consul. Now according to Jack, Markov knows how to find Gredenko who controls the remaining three suitcase nukes
Milo: Excuse me. Is nobody worried that this can be considered an "act of war" against the Russians?
Bill: Ultimately, it's the Vice-President's decision, if we go in or not. If Jack is right and Markov is working with Gredenko, the Russians will have to back down
Chloe: [after entering the conference room] Sir, Logan is ready for you
Bill: [to Chloe] thank you
Bill: [to everyone, while leaving] I want a comprehensive search profile on my desk ASAP
Mike: Who has the control keys for the main servers?
Nadia: I do
Mike: Bracket the scenarios into three, I want projected outcomes based on different levels of personnel
Milo: [to Doyle] "Normally" when we run a general attack assessment...
Mike: [Interrupts him] I don't care what you "normally" do and I wasn't speaking to you, I was talking with her
Milo: Yeah, it was so weird I had this "thought" that you might come here and not be a jerk, like you were in Denver but you are
Mike: That's right, just like Denver
Mike: [to everyone] let's get to work

Milo: [while handing her a folder] the escape vectors from Bloomfield: we analyzed every route from the facility, there were over twenty
Nadia: So whoever was holding Audrey could be anywhere in the city now?
Milo: Morris and Chloe are still back timing the satellite feeds, hopefully we'll get a fix on one of the vehicles
Nadia: Alright, keep me posted
Milo: Have we heard anything from Doyle?
Nadia: His team's half way through the forensic feed: we haven't found anything so far
Nadia: [after he doesn't respond] what?
Milo: Never mind
Nadia: Listen, I saw the look you gave me when I was talking to Doyle
Milo: I understand if your feelings for me have changed
Nadia: Milo...
Milo: [Interrupts her] yes I was hurt but if there's something going on between you and Doyle, I want you to know its ok
Nadia: To be completely honest, I don't know what I feel: so much has happened today, I haven't had a chance to think through anything, I just need some time to sort it all out

Milo: What do you think they're going to do to Jack?
Tony: Not going to name a street after him, that's for sure.

Milo: [Taking privately, referring to Morris] he came in and saw me in the infirmary
Chloe: Look, I know his been a little shaky
Milo: Has he been drinking?
Chloe: You smelled it on his breath?
Milo: Yeah
Chloe: I did too, I already talked to him about it: he didn't metabolize the alcohol
Milo: [Confused] he didn't metabolize the alcohol?
Chloe: I know it sounds weird. He took a drink and spit it back out
Milo: How do you know?
Chloe: Because he told me
Milo: And you believe him?
Chloe: I don't have to believe him, I was married to him. If he was drunk, I would know. His not drunk: his been sober for three years
Milo: I didn't know he was an alcoholic
Chloe: Now you know
Milo: You don't think Buchanan should know about this?
Chloe: No, if he slips up again, I will personally tell Buchanan. Just leave it for now

Milo: You aren't going to make this easy for me, are you?
Nadia: You know what? Actually, I am. Whatever you thought might happen between us you can just forget it.
Milo: That's not fair.
Nadia: Milo, believe it or not, I don't even blame you for suspecting me. But you have to admit that this is not the best place to start a relationship.
Milo: Gah-
[kisses her]

Nadia: [to Chloe after she slowly walks up to them] is there a problem?
Chloe: Yeah
Nadia: Are you going to tell us what is?
Chloe: I was installing security upgrades and I noticed you were using Milo's clearance code, in case you didn't know it's a felony security breach
Milo: That must be a mistake: my system's been "glitching" on me...
Chloe: [Interrupts him] it's not a "glitch." Nadia's been working through your user ID so unless she stole it, you gave it to her
Nadia: Milo was just trying to help me do my work: Homeland Security sent down an order restricting my security access because I was born in the Middle East
Chloe: I've heard of that directive and I think it's wrong to racially profiling our own agents but it's a felony security breach for you to be using Milo's code
Nadia: [to Chloe] if you report this, we can't help this situation if we're fired or arrested
Chloe: If I wanted to report you, I wouldn't be talking to you. I'm telling you this so you'd be careful. I noticed it so someone else is going to notice it sooner or later

Mike: [During a briefing] we've got ground teams on all roads leading out of the Shadow Valley looking for Fayed and Gredenko but with SAT support dedicated to finding the drone, there's not much to go on
Milo: And CALTRANS doesn't have any cameras set up in the outlining areas
Chloe: [while entering the room with her laptop] Mr. Buchanan, we figured out how the drone was able to stay hidden from our satellite: whoever is piloting is able to anticipate our repositioning directives, flying through the gaps in the images
Bill: How could he do that?
Chloe: The satellite data is being relayed to the drone pilot from a work station here: we have a "leak"
Bill: One of our own people?
Chloe: Looks that way
Mike: Can you isolate the work station?
Chloe: No, it's being "masked" through a sub circuit. Morris is working on it now but there are over fifty stations in this building, it could take an hour to do a signature trace
Bill: We don't have an hour
Mike: [to Chloe] run a trace match on Nadia Yassir's station
Milo: [to Doyle] Why Nadia?
Mike: Do it
Milo: You think because she's a Muslim...
Mike: [Interrupts him] I'm following standard protocol: she's already "tagged" and been given restricted clearance
Mike: [Sternly to Milo] and yeah, she is a Muslim. That's enough to go on, everyone here is thinking it, even if they won't say it
Milo: [Points his finger at him] your racist
Bill: Milo, I understand your "distaste", we have to "vet" every system in the building, there's no reason not to start with her
Milo: No, sir, there's every reason. Nadia Yassir is one hundred percent loyal to this country, she is not a terrorist
Mike: Is this assessment based on some "private knowledge"? Or is it your "itching" to sleep with her?
Bill: [Yells to them after Milo and Mike grab each other, preventing them from fighting] alright, that's enough
Bill: [to Doyle] that was way out of line
Bill: [to Milo and Mike] we don't have time for your "personal differences." We have to find out whose subverting our system
Chloe: [after checking on her computer] it is Nadia. The signature trace matches her computer
Mike: Shut down her work station

Bill: [During a briefing] since the FAA wasn't able to track Fayed's chopper, we have to assume its set down somewhere outside the "containment" area: we may not know where Fayed is but we know his in possession of a device that will enable him to activate the three remaining suitcase nukes in his arsenal. Our only "potential lead" was uploaded from the hard drive of a laptop at the scene recovered by Jack Bauer and his team, Milo?
Milo: There was an email fragment I was able to restore from the computer's hard drive, it made reference to recent communications between Fayed and Dmitri Gredenko. Gredenko is the former soviet General in charge of turning over Russian nukes to the US for decommission. Ultimately, he was the source of the weapons Fayed now possesses
Nadia: So clearly Gredenko is more involved than we realized? What's interest in helping Fayed?
Bill: Gredenko is an ultranationalist: his desired to harm this country economically and otherwise is in sync with Fayed
Nadia: Have we got any updated intel on his location?
Bill: Interpol just confirmed his no longer in Moscow, since the point of origin of the fingerprint on the email fragment was Pacific Time. I think it's safe to assume his somewhere on the west coast: possibly Los Angeles. Chloe, run a data sweep through INS and Customs channels, see if we can "track" how he got into the country

Bill: [after Milo enters Bill's office] what is it?
Milo: Nadia, she's falling behind on her tasks: what's going on with her?
Bill: Nothing, petition her workload and hand some of it to another analyst
Milo: I've only got her working on one process...
Bill: [Interrupts him] she's doing something directly for me, just do it please?
Milo: With all due respect, is there something going on here you don't want me to know about?
Bill: Yes, there is: either give Nadia enough time to finish the work or give the work to somebody else
Milo: Sir, I'm technical leader on the floor, if you want me to do my job effectively, I need to what's happening
Bill: Because Nadia is of Middle Eastern descent, she's been flagged by Homeland Security
Milo: That's ridiculous: she's lived in this country since she was two years old, a registered republican for crying out loud
Bill: You're wasting your breath. There's nothing I can do about this right now, just let it go will you please?
Milo: No sir, I don't see how we can just "let it go." Aren't we still trying to find four suitcase nukes that might still be in the city? I need everyone on the floor where I can get full speed
Bill: I understand that now get back to work
