All right, "On this historic occasion..."
Well, it is a historic occasion, sir.
So, is she still giving you the cold shoulder?
If by "she" you're referring to your mother, I'd appreciate if you called her by her name. Mom. And no, she's just busy.
She's busy a lot.
Hello?
Vincent, Jack Bauer. You planning on seeing Kimberly tonight?
No way, man. We broke up, you know that.
I just wanted to make sure you knew that.
Chill, man. I don't know where she is. You've got my word.
That's a real comfort, Vincent, knowing I've got your word.
How long is this going to take?
Why, are we interrupting your social life?
At least I have one.
Funny.
Tony. I need detailed background on everyone on Senator Palmer's staff now.
Why?
Because I think this is about him and I want us to be prepared.
If it leaks out that we're screening Senator Palmer, people might think it's because he's black.
Well, it is because he's black. It makes him the most likely target.
We have reason to believe that by the end of the day an attempt will be made on David Palmer's life.
How are you doing?
I can't complain.
Can't or won't?
If Palmer gets hit, the first African-American with a real shot at the White House, they'll tear this country apart.
You're lying.
Yes I am. But you're still going to have to trust me.
I was thinking we should try to remember what it was like when we were kids.
It's a different world now, Jack.
Yeah, I know.
George. I need you to do me a favor. I need you to call your boss so I can get clearance on the identification of the source.
I thought we just agreed that it didn't matter.
Yeah, but I still have to call Walsh and tell him I did everything I could. I would like to cover my own ass.
Jack, you're finally learning how to play the game.
You can look the other way once, and it's no big deal, except it makes it easier for you to compromise the next time, and pretty soon that's all you're doing; compromising, because that's the way you think things are done. You know those guys I busted? You think they were the bad guys? Because they weren't, they weren't bad guys, they were just like you and me. Except they compromised... Once.
Tony, I need you to do something for me.
For you or for Jack.
You have no idea what you're getting yourself into.
Why don't you explain it to me. You've got five seconds.
The job is on summer. Are you in?
Yes.
Ira Gaines [to Jonathon, who just killed Bridgit]: You're done here.
