I wonder if GreyAdder is going to compare torture styles. And will Michelle be able to single-handedly destroy in 4 seconds the self-esteem Tony has built up in the last 4 episodes? And how many light sources will they contrive in and around the building given that everything got fried in a, what, 8-block radius? Can’t wait! 🆒 ---

Whining “Level threeeee. But I used to be a level six.” I would think a level three clearance is pretty good for a guy who was convicted of treason. He was convicted right? ---

I’m wondering if this pilot could possibly be flying a refueling plane for Air Force One. Is Paul going to make it? Could Curtis be any more boring at CTU? Please quit wasting this guy! Secretary Heller never gets his feathers ruffled, that is for sure. Maybe he’ll be the POTUS next year. Assuming we need a new one. What’s the over/under on Tony and Michelle hooking up before the season is over? ---

Final line… “The president’s on a tight schedule.” 6:45 AM: Get on Air Force One 6:50 AM: Pre-flight checks 6:55 AM: Take off 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM: Fly around. So how much distance would they have covered by now, in 13 straight hours of flying in Air Force One? Just wondering… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/24-season-4-episode-13-7-00pm-8-00pm/294535.md?page=2)
