Charles Logan quotes from 24

Charles Logan

Damn you Martie, putting me in such position.

Charles Logan

What are you trying to do, Jack? Whatever it is, you know you won't get away with it! Are you going to kill me? I suppose you want some sort of revenge. I understand that. Bad things happened. I didn't want them to happen. People who work for me, they-they-they went too far, they did things I thought I wanted them to do, but they were wrong! You have to understand, I have always acted in the country's best interest. But you're just trying to get even. Do you realize what effect this will have on the American people?! This day has been trying enough! And now the President is being attacked. If you want to do what's right, you will turn this thing around, and go back. Damn it, Bauer, say something!

Charles Logan

You said that I was a good liar? But I am nothing compared to you.

Oh, you make it sound like our goal was to kill Americans!

Charles Logan

What the hell was your goal, Walt?! Explain that to me!

I'm a patriot, s-- Mr. President. We were acting in the best interest of this country.

Charles Logan

How is any of this in our best interest?

Shoring up a-a strategic partner in the war on terror? Ensuring a stable flow of oil? How is any of that not in our national interest?

Charles Logan

What am I missing, Mike?! T-t-t-there's gotta be some way out, something that I'm not seeing.

You are not missing anything. Any action we take to save Martha would save the Suvarovs. And if that happens, the terrorists will release the gas. Unfortunately, it's that simple.

Charles Logan

And there's nothing we can do, right? Unless I warn them… Martha's going to die with the Suvarovs.

Charles Logan

Are my terms acceptable?

There is nothing you have said or done that is acceptable to me in the least. You're a traitor to this country and a disgrace to your office. And it's my duty to see that you're brought to justice for what you've done. Is there anything else… Charles?
