Tony Almeida quotes from 24

Tony

Let me save you some time, Mr. Chappelle. I'm not the biggest fan of Jack Bauer. I don't agree with the way he delegates authority, and I don't like the way he runs operations. But since midnight last night, you won't get me to disapprove of a single action he's taken.

Tony

[to Michelle] So, uh, what are we saying here? If we save L.A. from a nuclear bomb, then you and I can get together for dinner and a movie? is that it?

Tony

Chloe, I'm getting real tired of your personality.

Tony

[to Michelle] Baby, you're alive. And nobody else got hurt because of what I did. Now that's more than I hoped for. I can live with that. Even in prison.

Tony

Some people are more comfortable in hell.

To the world, he's dead. But he is about to become the most wanted man alive.

Tony

She's gone, Jack.

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.

Nina

Tony, I need you to do something for me.

Tony

For you or for Jack.

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.

Tony

How could you do this? Betray your country, be responsible for the deaths of people you work with?

I told you, I didn't know any of that was going to happen.

Tony

Oh, that's right. You're just tappin' on your keyboard, right?

What do you think they're going to do to Jack?

Tony

Not going to name a street after him, that's for sure.

George Mason

Hey! Almeida. I'm on your side. Nina oughta be here right now, what does Jack need her for? You're busting your ass without any resources because she felt like taking a ride with him. If that works for you, great…

Tony

You know what works for me? You keeping out of my personal business, that works for me!

Teri Bauer

[hysterical, talking about Kim] What do you mean you don't know where she is?

Tony

After the safehouse, she didn't trust us and I don't blame her. Get in!

Teri Bauer

We have to find her, Tony! We have to find her!

Tony

Believe me, we're looking. Teri, GET IN THE CAR!

I didn't know how you liked intel presented impromptu. Whether you like it sorted chronologically with an alphabetical key or if you just like separate folders with access tabs...

Tony

Uhh…I don't really care.

Mason

Send somebody else. I need you here.

Tony

To do what, watch Paula die?
