Quotes

Jack Bauer: (about CTU) I hate this place.


Chloe O'Brian: You've come to me for help many times, and I've never let you down. You've asked me to do crazy things. And I've always taken your side. Please. Help me. I can't do this by myself.
Jack Bauer: I'm sorry. I... I can't. Not this time. Not me.
(Kim persuades Jack to stay at CTU and help Chloe)
Kim Bauer: I've never known you to walk away from something like this. If you have to stay, it's all right. You're not letting me down. I understand.
Jack Bauer: Sweetheart, I want to go with you.
Kim Bauer: I know you do. And there is nothing I want more than for you to come with us. I have been waiting so long for this day. We both have. But if something terrible happens and you could've done something to stop it, I don't think you'd be able to live with yourself. Dad, it's okay, you can go.
Jack Bauer: I'm sure President Taylor's gonna be very interested to find out what happened to my informant when I tried to deliver him to you.
Brian Hastings: Excuse me?
Jack Bauer: Paul tried to secure that landing zone with more men. But instead you sent a drone which failed to detect a missile that killed my informant and two of your men. Paul hasn't said anything about it. And neither will I. As long as you let me pursue this.
Brian Hastings: So now you're blackmailing me?
Jack Bauer: You forced my hand. Now I'm forcing yours.
Brian Hastings: You don't wanna be doing this, Bauer.
Jack Bauer: No, I don't. I wanna be on a plane to Los Angeles with my family, but you're not giving me another choice.
Brian Hastings: You wanna waste your time chasing ghosts, knock yourself out. I've gotta stop an assasination plot. Give him the bag.
Jack Bauer: I need Chloe to run Ops.
Brian Hastings: Fine, she's all yours.
Jack Bauer: Thank you.
(Davros points his gun at the Koernig's)
Davros: Now, pick up the phone. Call Captain Ravello. Tell him you're sick and I'm filling in for you.
Jim Koernig: Now, listen you son of a bitch. There's no way--
(Davros shoots Maggie Koernig in the leg)
Jim Koernig: Oh! Oh! What's the matter with you? What are you doing?
Davros: Next time I won't miss the bone. Make the call.
Jim Koernig: All right. All right, I'll make the call. Please, just leave my wife alone, all right?

Trivia

A 'CTU' caption appears in the 'Previously on 24' opening segment for the first time since the penultimate episode of season 6 (4:00 am - 5:00 am). The only difference this time is that it is the New York CTU branch in question, as opposed to Los Angeles.
