Jack Bauer quotes from 24

Jack Bauer

Damn it!

Jack

Say hello to your brother.

Jack Bauer

The difference between success and failure is your ability to adapt to your enemy. The people that I deal with, they don't care about your rules. All they care about is a result.

Jack Bauer

I am more than willing to be judged by the people you claim to represent. I will let them decide what price I should pay. But please do not sit there with that smug look on your face and expect me to regret the decisions I have made. Because, sir, the truth is . . . I don't.

Jack Bauer

I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer, and today is the longest day of my life.

So, is she still giving you the cold shoulder?

Jack

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?

Jack

Vincent, Jack Bauer. You planning on seeing Kimberly tonight?

No way, man. We broke up, you know that.

Jack

I just wanted to make sure you knew that.

Chill, man. I don't know where she is. You've got my word.

Jack

That's a real comfort, Vincent, knowing I've got your word.

Jack

Tony. I need detailed background on everyone on Senator Palmer's staff now.

Tony

Why?

Jack

Because I think this is about him and I want us to be prepared.

Tony

If it leaks out that we're screening Senator Palmer, people might think it's because he's black.

Jack

Well, it is because he's black. It makes him the most likely target.

Richard Walsh

How are you doing?

Jack

I can't complain.

Richard Walsh

Can't or won't?

Nina

You're lying.

Jack

Yes I am. But you're still going to have to trust me.

Jack

I was thinking we should try to remember what it was like when we were kids.

Teri Bauer

It's a different world now, Jack.

Jack

Yeah, I know.

Jack

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.

George Mason

I thought we just agreed that it didn't matter.

Jack

Yeah, but I still have to call Walsh and tell him I did everything I could. I would like to cover my own ass.

George Mason

Jack, you're finally learning how to play the game.

George Mason

You have no idea what you're getting yourself into.

Jack

Why don't you explain it to me. You've got five seconds.

Tony

You mind telling me what's going on around here tonight?

Jack

What's going on? You mean besides a 747 falling out of the sky and a threat on a presidential candidate's life?

Tony

Yeah, besides that.

(Suffering from a bullet wound and running through the woods) I can't!

Jack

Shut up! You can and you will!

But I'm slowing you down.

Jack

Yes you are so you'd better start speeding up!
