- Nina Myers: He is gonna put a bullet in my head before I can say hello, and then he'll turn the gun on himself.
- Jack Bauer: We'll make sure he doesn't turn the gun on himself.
- Paramedic: Take off your clothes.
- [after Mason has been exposed to radiation]
- George Mason: Aren't you going to buy me dinner first?
- [pointing his gun in the direction of a noise behind him]
- Jack Bauer: Don't move.
- George Mason: Hey, hey. Service is bad enough on this flight; you don't have to shoot me.
- [some of the symptoms of inhaling plutonium]
- Paramedic: Well, there's hair loss...
- George Mason: I'm already used to that.
- Jack Bauer: You are gonna tell me what I wanna know, it's just a matter of how much you want it to hurt.
- Chloe: I was unfairly harsh to you a few minutes ago, I didn't mean anything.
- Spencer Wolf: All right. Apology accepted.
- Chloe: It wasn't really an apology, it was more of an observation.
- Jack Bauer: [Jack has shot and wounded Nina] You don't have any more useful information, do you?
- Nina Myers: [weakly] I do...
- Jack Bauer: [notices Nina is inching for her gun] No, you don't.
- [fires and kills Nina]
- Jack Bauer: [to Joseph Prado, after breaking every finger in his hand] This will help you with the pain.
- [knocks him unconscious]
- Jack Bauer: [while holding President Logan at gunpoint] A year and a half ago I was warned my life was in danger. I was told the only way to survive was to create the illusion that I was dead. I had the deceive people I cared about. My daughter will never forgive me. Now that I see the depth of your corruption there is no doubt that source of danger was you. David Palmer was a great man and a great president, but he was also my friend. He tried to warn me about you and now he is dead. Other people tried to help me and they are dead. So Mr. Logan, I really have nothing left to lose.
- Chloe: [as Jack strangles an FBI officer and a horrified teenage boy looks on] Don't worry... he's really good at this.
- Nina Myers: I never meant for this to be personal.
- Jack Bauer: It felt pretty personal when you killed my wife.
- Michelle Dessler: I'll go anywhere with you... as long as I don't have to cook.
- Tony Almeida: [laughing] Sweetheart, if you promise not to cook I will take you with me anywhere.
- Charles Logan: Agent Clark, I want you to arrest these men and get them the hell out of here!
- Agent Clark: We have our orders, sir.
- Charles Logan: You take!... You take your orders from me!
- Agent Clark: Not anymore.
- Christopher Henderson: [Holds Jack at gunpoint] Hold it Jack! You weren't really going to let me go, were you?
- Jack Bauer: No.
- [Henderson tries to shoot him, but the gun is empty. He looks at the clip, realizing Jack has outsmarted him. He faintly smiles at Jack]
- Christopher Henderson: Good for you.
- Jack Bauer: You are responsible for the deaths of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, and Michelle Dessler. They were friends of mine.
- Christopher Henderson: That's what happens.
- [Jack shoots him twice]
- [Chloe had to shoot a man in self-defense]
- Edgar Stiles: You okay?
- Chloe: I'm fine.
- Edgar Stiles: Is there anything I can do?
- Chloe: I said I'm fine! I am trying not to think about what happened, I'm gonna process it later, okay?
- Edgar Stiles: Sure, fine.
- [walks away]
- Chloe: Edgar, I appreciate your concern. I really do. Just when I shot that guy, I thought I'd go all fetal position. But the truth is, I didn't feel anything. At all. I hope I'm not some kind of a psychopath.
- Edgar Stiles: Well, he *was* trying to kill you.
- Chloe: Yeah, but still!
- Edgar Stiles: Maybe it's a delayed reaction kinda thing. Maybe you'll freak out about it in a few days.
- Chloe: I hope so.
- Nina Myers: Jack, if you kill me, you won't know who I work for. You think I work for Drazen, but I don't!
- Jack Bauer: I trusted you, Nina...
- Nina Myers: I was just doing my job.
- Jack Bauer: Your job? My wife and daughter almost died today! How many people that trusted you lost their life today because you were doing your job? Walsh, or Jamey? Ellis? How many others?
- Nina Myers: How many people died because of you, Jack?
- Jack Bauer: I know you think you're doing the right thing,
- [raising his voice]
- Jack Bauer: but this is not going to happen.
- Kim: Somebody has to do it!
- Jack Bauer: Someone will, not you!
- Kim: [raising her voice] I'm the best match!
- Jack Bauer: [raising his voice even more] You're not a field operative!
- Kim: I have weapons training. This is decoy work. Saunders' people won't even come close to me.
- Jack Bauer: [shouting] Kim, you don't know what you're talking about. If everything was to go right in this scenario, which not a chance I'm willing to take!
- Kim: [shouting] You're not taking it! I am!
- Jack Bauer: [grabs Kim and puts her up against the wall] The reason why you've got this job,
- [shouting]
- Jack Bauer: the reason why I GAVE you this job is so that I could make sure you'd be safe!
- Kim: [voice breaking] I took this job because I wanted it, not because you wanted me here. I know that this is hard for you, but this is not your decision. This is my job; better yet, my duty. I'm gonna be safe.
- [crying]
- Kim: But I'm doing it.
- Sherry Palmer: We've had a hard day, but when you look at it in perspective, you'll realize I was acting in your best interest. And I know you're so mad at me.
- President Palmer: I'm not mad at you.
- Sherry Palmer: Oh, good.
- President Palmer: I feel sorry for you.
- Sherry Palmer: You feel sorry for me?
- President Palmer: You've lost touch of what it is to be a friend... a parent... a wife. After today, I never want to see you again.
- Sherry Palmer: David!
- President Palmer: Please, Sherry, I've heard it all before. And I don't care what this may do to my candidacy. And it's not because I don't want to be President. I do. I just don't think you're fit to be the first lady.
- Sherry Palmer: Do you really think you can just leave me? Don't you think for a second it'll be that easy!
- President Palmer: Secret Service will escort you back to Washington when you're ready.
- [turns away from her and walks towards the room exit]
- Sherry Palmer: [screaming after David, who is ignoring her rantings] David, you don't just walk away from me! David, you can't do this without me! David, I'm talking to you!
- [a secret Service Agent stops her from following after David Palmer after he leaves the room]
- Sherry Palmer: Get your hands off of me!
- [realizing that CTU has been compromised, Jack makes a special phone call]
- Audrey Heller Raines: Who are calling?
- Jack Bauer: The only person I can trust right now.
- Jack Bauer: A few years ago, my wife was killed because of my job. My daughter has never been the same since. This last year... well, you know what I went through to bring you in. What'd I get for it? A pat on the back. In the end, a demotion and a heroin habit. I'm tired of putting my ass on the line for nothing. I'm DONE putting my ass on the line for nothing.
- [from preview for Season 5]
- Jack Bauer: [angry] When I'm finished with you, you're gonna wish that you felt this good again.
- Tony Almeida: Where the hell do you think you're going, Jack?
- Jack Bauer: Tony, I don't have time to explain right now.
- [Tony pulls out his gun and points it at Jack]
- Tony Almeida: Let's find the time.
- [from Season 5 preview]
- Jack Bauer: If you don't tell me what I want to know, then it'll just be a question of how much you want it to hurt.
- [to Audrey, who was held by the Chinese for a few months]
- Jack Bauer: I know what it's like to feel like it's never going to end.
- Chloe: OK, when the alert level goes down, and the terrorists have been caught, we can have some chamomile tea and I'll tell you all my secrets.
- Jack Bauer: Honey, I've got to start focusing on what I'm doing up here, I'm running out of time, okay? So uh... I-I'm gonna have to say good-bye. I love you more than anything in the world and I'll always be with you, okay? Remember that.
- Kim: Oh. I'm proud of you, and I love you.
- Jack Bauer: I love you too sweetheart... Bye.
- Jack Bauer: I used to be in the military. Used to do field work for the CIA. I've been to some horrible places. I've seen some pretty terrible things. I don't think I've ever been this scared in my whole life.
- Ramon Salazar: What did you learn from Edmunds?
- Hector Salazar: He can take a bullet through the hand without saying anything useful.
- [Jack is taken hostage by Victor Drazen]
- Tony Almeida: How did Jack sound?
- [on the phone]
- George Mason: Alive.
