Jack Bauer: Sunday before you killed my wife, Teri and I were in town at a boardwalk in Venice, just watching all the rollerbladers, the musicians, laughing at the crazy people, spending time together. Teri sees this sno-cone stand, she giggles like a kid, she takes off to get in line, she wants one. I remember I was watching her, I just couldn't help myself. When I looked up, she was talking with this old lady behind her, and the two of them were laughing, and I'm thinking to myself, "How the hell does she do that? How does she strike up a conversation with an absolute stranger, and they just start laughing like they've been friends forever?" That's a gift. I remember thinking, "God, I wish I could do that." But I can't. That was Teri. My wife. That's what you took from this world. That's what you took from me and my daughter. I just wanted you to know that.

Jack Bauer: It felt pretty personal when you killed my wife.

George Mason: I don't know. Are you happy in this job? Believe it or not, I used to want to be a teacher. Long time ago. Know why I didn't? DOD offered me more money. That's how I made my decision. So I made myself miserable and made everyone around me miserable for an extra five thousand dollars a year. That was my price.
Michelle Dessler: Sorry.
George Mason: You know, Michelle, I'm not a big advice giver, but under the circumstances, don't wait for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy. Do it. Because everything else… it’s just background noise.
