Memorable quotes

 * Jason Pillar: Bauer might be trying to get out of the country. We'll find him, it's only a question of time. (hangs up phone)
 * Jack Bauer: (aiming a gun at him from behind) Maybe a little quicker than you thought.


 * Jack Bauer: Everybody I took out had a hand in today's attack.
 * Jason Pillar: But who made you judge and jury?
 * Jack Bauer: President Taylor, when she agreed to the cover-up. I would have accepted justice...by law. But that was taken away from me...by people like you. So you're right: I am judge and jury.


 * President Allison Taylor: In one hour, you will stand beside me in the Council Chamber, and you will sign the treaty your husband and I agreed to.
 * Dalia Hassan: I will not!
 * President Allison Taylor: You will. Because, if you don't, my administration will disclose hard indisputable evidence that agents inside your Intelligence Service attempted to detonate a nuclear device on our soil, which will give me all the justification I need to retaliate against the IRK with the full force of the American military. It will be decades before your country recovers! (pause) But it doesn't need to come to that. All you have to do...is sign the agreement.


 * Jack Bauer: (on the phone to Charles Logan) I have a 556 rifle pointed straight at your head.


 * Jack Bauer: I want you to call President Suvarov, and have him meet you where you are as soon as the press conference is over.
 * Charles Logan: What am I supposed to tell him?
 * Jack Bauer: Try the truth for a change. Tell him you've got credible intelligence about a threat to his life.
