Jack Bauer

Jack Bauer: The only reason that you're conscious right now is because I don't want to carry you.

Nina Myers: He is gonna put a bullet in my head before I can say hello, and then he'll turn the gun on himself.
Jack Bauer: We'll make sure he doesn't turn the gun on himself.

[pointing his gun in the direction of a noise behind him]
Jack Bauer: Don't move.
George Mason: Hey, hey. Service is bad enough on this flight; you don't have to shoot me.

Jack Bauer: I'm federal agent Jack Bauer, and today is the longest day of my life.

Jack Bauer: You are gonna tell me what I wanna know, it's just a matter of how much you want it to hurt.

Jack Bauer: [Jack has shot and wounded Nina] You don't have any more useful information, do you?
Nina Myers: [weakly] I do...
Jack Bauer: [notices Nina is inching for her gun] No, you don't.
[fires and kills Nina]

Jack Bauer: [to Joseph Prado, after breaking every finger in his hand] This will help you with the pain.
[knocks him unconscious]

Jack Bauer: [while holding President Logan at gunpoint] A year and a half ago I was warned my life was in danger. I was told the only way to survive was to create the illusion that I was dead. I had the deceive people I cared about. My daughter will never forgive me. Now that I see the depth of your corruption there is no doubt that source of danger was you. David Palmer was a great man and a great president, but he was also my friend. He tried to warn me about you and now he is dead. Other people tried to help me and they are dead. So Mr. Logan, I really have nothing left to lose.

Christopher Henderson: [Holds Jack at gunpoint] Hold it Jack! You weren't really going to let me go, were you?
Jack Bauer: No.
[Henderson tries to shoot him, but the gun is empty. He looks at the clip, realizing Jack has outsmarted him. He faintly smiles at Jack]
Christopher Henderson: Good for you.
Jack Bauer: You are responsible for the deaths of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, and Michelle Dessler. They were friends of mine.
Christopher Henderson: That's what happens.
[Jack shoots him twice]

Jack Bauer: Kim, I want you to point the gun at his chest and pull the trigger now.

Nina Myers: Jack, if you kill me, you won't know who I work for. You think I work for Drazen, but I don't!
Jack Bauer: I trusted you, Nina...
Nina Myers: I was just doing my job.
Jack Bauer: Your job? My wife and daughter almost died today! How many people that trusted you lost their life today because you were doing your job? Walsh, or Jamey? Ellis? How many others?
Nina Myers: How many people died because of you, Jack?

Jack Bauer: I know you think you're doing the right thing,
[raising his voice]
Jack Bauer: but this is not going to happen.
Kim: Somebody has to do it!
Jack Bauer: Someone will, not you!
Kim: [raising her voice] I'm the best match!
Jack Bauer: [raising his voice even more] You're not a field operative!
Kim: I have weapons training. This is decoy work. Saunders' people won't even come close to me.
Jack Bauer: [shouting] Kim, you don't know what you're talking about. If everything was to go right in this scenario, which not a chance I'm willing to take!
Kim: [shouting] You're not taking it! I am!
Jack Bauer: [grabs Kim and puts her up against the wall] The reason why you've got this job,
[shouting]
Jack Bauer: the reason why I GAVE you this job is so that I could make sure you'd be safe!
Kim: [voice breaking] I took this job because I wanted it, not because you wanted me here. I know that this is hard for you, but this is not your decision. This is my job; better yet, my duty. I'm gonna be safe.
[crying]
Kim: But I'm doing it.

Jack Bauer: A few years ago, my wife was killed because of my job. My daughter has never been the same since. This last year... well, you know what I went through to bring you in. What'd I get for it? A pat on the back. In the end, a demotion and a heroin habit. I'm tired of putting my ass on the line for nothing. I'm DONE putting my ass on the line for nothing.

[from preview for Season 5]
Jack Bauer: [angry] When I'm finished with you, you're gonna wish that you felt this good again.
