Jack Bauer: Listen, I've been thinking a lot about what we talked about. I've made up my mind. I wanna move back to Los Angeles with you.
Kim Bauer: Really?
Jack Bauer: Yeah. I've got a friend who's got a private security firm. Said he'd give me some consulting work. He's also got a place I can rent.
Kim Bauer: (smiling) Dad, I don't know what to say.
Jack Bauer: Come here.
(they hug eachother)
Jack Bauer: You don't have to say anything, just give me a ride to the airport tonight.
Kim Bauer: Wait, you're coming with us tonight?
Jack Bauer: If that's okay.
Jack Bauer: The best I can do for you, Victor, is get you an ambulance. I don't work for the government anymore. I'm out.
Victor Aruz: Oh, this you're gonna wanna hear.
Jack Bauer: Why?
Victor Aruz: Why? Because you're the guy who always does the right thing. There's a big hit going down.
Jack Bauer: On who?
Victor Aruz: President Hassan at the UN. He's getting taken out.
Jack Bauer: When?
Victor Aruz: Today. Before he can sign this thing with Taylor. You see? Told you you'd be interested.
Jack Bauer: You better not be screwing with me.
Victor Aruz: I'm not. I swear, I'm not.
Jack Bauer: Who's the hitter? What's his name?
(shouts) Who's the hitter?
Victor Aruz: I don't know his name. He's Russian or something.
Jack Bauer: Not good enough! Who is the hitter?
Victor Aruz: Look. I know how to find him and stop him before he makes the hit. But I'm not saying another word until I make my deal.
Jack Bauer: You're lucky I'm retired.
(Chloe hands Hastings Victor Aruz's file)
Chloe O'Brian: It was in a proprietary database. That's why it took so long.
Brian Hastings: Still, it shouldn't have thrown you. You've been here a month.
Chloe O'Brian: Almost a month. And I've had to re-learn the interface on every major system here. Everything's changed.
Brian Hastings: You're having trouble adapting, I understand. But I don't think it's a question of your intelligence.
Chloe O'Brian: (sarcastically) Thanks.
Brian Hastings: I think it's ambivalence.
Chloe O'Brian: Ambivalence?
Brian Hastings: I know the only reason you took this job was because your husband was downsized. Am I wrong?
Chloe O Brian: No! I mean, yes! Please, just give me a little more time to get up to speed here. Mr Hastings, I need this job.
Brian Hastings: Fair enough. But I'm all about efficiency, so if your performance doesn't improve, you
may wanna rethink working here. I trust this has been clarified?
Chloe O'Brian: Sure. You really wanted to be more efficient, why don't you just say if I don't catch up soon, I'm gonna be fired.
(Victor lies on the ground after being caught up in a missile attack on a CTU helicopter, having already sustained a gunshot wound)
Victor Aruz: The hitter has someone on the inside. Close to Hassad.
Jack Bauer: Give me a name. Give me a name. Give me a name! Victor. Victor, who's on the inside? Victor. Victor! Come on. Come on. Come on.
(Jack checks Victor's pulse and attempts to resuscitate him)
Jack Bauer: (to Agent Ortiz) He's dead.
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?
Dana Walsh: Arlo. Can I ask you something?
Arlo Glass: Yes, I'm available Saturday night. And I can change my plans for Friday, if you want. Also, I'm free on Thursday.
Dana Walsh: Look, Arlo, I'm sorry. It's just... a situation's come up and I have to go home for a while.
Arlo Glass: Dana, we're in the middle of a major protocol.
Dana Walsh: I understand that, and I won't be long, I promise. But I need you to cover for me. Put the finishing touches on the profile for Renee Walker and Jack Bauer.
Arlo Glass: And if I ask you what this is about, you'll tell me--
Dana Walsh: That it's none of your business.
Arlo Glass: Right. Thought so.
Dana Walsh: Send it to Chloe's screen as soon as you're finished.
Arlo Glass: Okay.
Dana Walsh: Thank you, Arlo. I owe you one.
Arlo Glass: One what?
Arlo Glass: (to Dana Walsh) You know, if something's bothering you... you've always got my shoulder to cry on. Or any other body part...
Arlo Glass: Hey, O'Brian. Notice anything weird about Dana?
Chloe O'Brian: Miss Perfect?
Arlo Glass: She seems distracted, always making excuses to leave.
Chloe O'Brian: Maybe she's avoiding you.
Arlo Glass: What?
Chloe O'Brian: That's what I would do if someone was drooling over me all day. You're lucky she hasn't reported you to human resources.
Arlo Glass: If you weren't so jealous, you'd see I was asking you a serious question.
Chloe O'Brian: (sarcastically) Oh yeah, I'm jealous. Please, won't you stare at my ass as I walk away? (Chloe leaves her desk and walks off)
Lugo Elson: No calls till we get to Vladimir.
Jack Bauer: (pointing gun at Lugo) Does this look like a situation where you get to make demands?
