Mike Novick
- Mike Novick: [Over the phone, after looking at his watch] how are things going over there?
- Karen Hayes: It's a bit of a rough transition from CTU to Homeland but we're getting through it
- Mike Novick: That's good to hear, what'd you need?
- Karen Hayes: I need some clarification: we were sent over here on a directive from the White House but we've been "exclusively" dealing with Vice President Gardener until about two hours ago
- Mike Novick: What happened two hours ago?
- Karen Hayes: The President called me himself and ordered me to arrest Jack Bauer on evidence he was unwilling to share with me
- Mike Novick: Yes, I know about that
- Karen Hayes: Have you seen the evidence?
- Mike Novick: No, actually I haven't
- Karen Hayes: Who has seen it?
- Mike Novick: I don't have a good answer to that
- Karen Hayes: Are you telling me you're not in the loop?
- Mike Novick: Actually I don't think there is a loop: the President is keeping his own "counsel" at the moment
- Karen Hayes: That's a first
- Mike Novick: Yes, it is
- Karen Hayes: Is there anything else you want to tell me?
- Mike Novick: Nothing I can say with any "authority." All I know is that it's been a strange night
- Karen Hayes: I see
- Mike Novick: I wish I could be more helpful
- Karen Hayes: [Before hanging up] no, actually you've been very helpful, thank you
