Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : Who the hell do you think you are? You think this is easy? You think you understand what I'm going through? Because you don't. I am dying. And I was okay with it. I could handle it. And now you've put in front of me the one thing, the one thing that is gonna make this unbearable.

• Jack Bauer : [Over the speakerphone as Renee stands nearby]  madam President, we need to talk

  President Allison Taylor : No, we don't: you need to listen. I appreciate everything that you done in gathering this intel but I still need "more" before I can authorize an airstrike, I'm sorry

  Jack Bauer : With all due respect, I don't think your being "truthful" to us

  President Allison Taylor : Excuse me?

  Jack Bauer : I think you called off the airstrike because Jonas Hodges is in possession of surface to surface missiles armed with the bio weapon and is threatening to use them in case you try to take action against him

  Jack Bauer : [after she doesn't respond]  Tony Almeida witnessed a truck pumping RP-7 rocket fuel into an underground depot situated right next to the bunker where the bio weapons are being stored. The only purpose for RP-7 rocket fuel is to launch missiles. Please just tell us the truth

  President Allison Taylor : Hodges has thirteen python missiles armed with bio weapons that are currently aimed at American cities: he demanded I recall the planes or he would launch

  Renee Walker : What does Hodges want?

  President Allison Taylor : I don't know but he wants a face to face meeting, he'll be here in a few minutes

  Jack Bauer : The only reason he wants a face to face meeting is to lay out his demands and whatever they are, you cannot negotiate with him

  President Allison Taylor : I'm not planning on negotiating with him. Once he places his cards on the table, I am sure that I can make him realize the "futility" of what he is trying to do

  Jack Bauer : Jonas Hodges is a traitor and a terrorist and after everything that's happened today, are you really naive enough to think you can simply talk to him and change his mind?

  President Allison Taylor : I'm not new at this and right now I don't have another option

  Jack Bauer : You do, Tony Almeida is still inside Starkwood

  President Allison Taylor : I ordered him ex-filtrated immediately, what's he still doing there?

  Jack Bauer : I asked him to stand by until I could talk to you: he believes he can gain access to the fuel depot and lay a series of explosive charges and take the missiles out. Now I believe this could work but we need to act quickly

  President Allison Taylor : What about the bio weapons?

  Jack Bauer : RP-7 rocket fuel burns at five thousand degrees, there'd be nothing left

  Renee Walker : Once the weapons are destroyed, Larry Moss and his teams can move in on Starkwood and lock it down

  President Allison Taylor : Hodges gave standing orders to his men to launch the missiles, at the first detection of government interference. If Almeida is detected, thousands of Americans will die

  Jack Bauer : I know there is a risk but I would be asking you to do this if I didn't think it could work. Please, I am begging you, trust me

  President Allison Taylor : How long did the doctors give you to live?

  Jack Bauer : [Caught off guard by her question]  their not sure but the pathogen has started to take effect

  President Allison Taylor : [Before she hangs up]  then there's not much I can do to threaten you with is there? I expect you'll do what you think is right

• President Allison Taylor : [Over the phone]  Jonas Hodges is under arrest

  Jack Bauer : [Relieved]  that's very good news

  President Allison Taylor : You and your team provided me with an "option" and for that I am deeply grateful and so are the American people

  Jack Bauer : Madam President, it was Tony Almeida who risked his life to destroy those missiles and as you know his facing arrest for things he did leading up today and I was hoping maybe you could...

  President Allison Taylor : Jack?

  Jack Bauer : I'm sorry, I completely forgot what I was saying

  President Allison Taylor : You were talking about Mr. Almeida and yes I will take his actions into account

  Jack Bauer : Thank you

  President Allison Taylor : What's happening?

  Jack Bauer : I'm not exactly sure

  President Allison Taylor : I am so sorry you're going through this. I wish there were "something" I could do

  President Allison Taylor : Madam President, I appreciate this phone call but I'm sorry, I have to go

  President Allison Taylor : Of course

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  thank you

• Dr. Sunny Macer : Memory loss is consistent with the disease, I just wouldn't expect it would manifest this quickly

  Jack Bauer : It's not just memory loss, it feels like... I don't know exactly how to explain it. I feel like... I'm losing some "part" of myself

  Dr. Sunny Macer : The disease profile includes personality changes, sometimes hallucinations but this is a weaponized pathogen we don't know much about: the military's still combing through the remains of the bio weapons lab in Sangala so we expect to learn "something" soon

  Jack Bauer : You were able to give me "something" to control the shaking, is there "something" you can give me to help me with this?

  Dr. Sunny Macer : No, I'm sorry

  Jack Bauer : Ok, thank you, excuse me

• Renee Walker : [Walking up to him]  are you alright?

  Jack Bauer : Yeah. I'm going to need to go on record with everything that happened today and we need to do it soon, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to remember the details

  Renee Walker : Ok, first there's something you need to know

  Jack Bauer : What?

  Renee Walker : It's about Kim: she's here, I told her that you were sick

  Jack Bauer : You did what?

  Renee Walker : And she may be able to help with treatment?

  Jack Bauer : [Angrily]  who the hell do you think you are? You think this easy? You think you "understand" what I'm going through? Because you don't

• Jack Bauer : [after she told him she informed Kim that he was infected with the virus and suggested to Kim that she may able to help with his treatment against Jack's request]  no, you listen, I "specifically" told you do not "drag" my daughter into this

  Renee Walker : [Raises her voice]  no one "dragged" her into anything: she's been trying to see you all day

  Jack Bauer : What?

  Renee Walker : She was at the Senate hearing this morning. She flew out from LA to be here but we pulled you out before she could see you: she's been leaving messages at our office all day. They just didn't get to me until just now. If you want, I can tell her you're not here. I can tell her that "you can't see her"

  Jack Bauer : I can't do that. Where is she?

  Renee Walker : Down the hall

  Jack Bauer : Show me

• Kim Bauer : [Seeing him for the first after learning his infected with the virus]  how are you feeling?

  Jack Bauer : I'm ok

  Kim Bauer : You're not in any pain?

  Jack Bauer : No

  Kim Bauer : Let's sit down. Did Agent Walker tell you I was trying to find you?

  Jack Bauer : [Nods]  yeah

  Kim Bauer : I've tried everything to track you down, the State Department, private investigators. Every time I got a phone number, you were gone

  Jack Bauer : I'm sorry. I thought I was doing the best thing for you by staying away

  Kim Bauer : I've missed you so much

  Jack Bauer : I've missed you too. You need to know how sorry I am for everything you had to live through because of me

  Kim Bauer : No, don't do that: don't put that on yourself, I'm the one who should apologize, I pushed you away and instead of taking responsibility for all the mistakes I made in my life, I blamed you. And it was stupid and immature, and now all the time that we've lost. Agent Walker told me that there's a "chance", a small "chance" that I could help you and you don't want me to?

  Jack Bauer : The treatment is "experimental" and I don't think it's going to work

  Kim Bauer : And you don't want to because you're afraid to ask me?

  Jack Bauer : No, there's a "risk" to you

  Kim Bauer : A small "risk" worth taking

  Jack Bauer : Not to me. I'm dying and whatever small "chance" there is to stop that from happening, is not worth the pain of letting you sit there and watch me die

  Kim Bauer : [Before hugging]  I don't want to lose you, I don't

  Jack Bauer : Sweetheart, it's going to be alright
