Day 4

 * James Heller: When the trial begins you may have an opportunity to escape. You have to take it even if it’s dangerous.
 * Audrey Raines: Maybe we’ll have a chance before then.
 * James Heller: They’re never going to take their eyes off of me. It has to be when their attention is on the trial.
 * Audrey Raines: I don’t wanna get out of here without you.
 * James Heller: Forget about me. You have to take every chance. Promise me.
 * Audrey Raines: Dad, I… I can’t.
 * James Heller: Yes, you can. You can. I want you to live your life, a full life. I want you to have a family. That’s all I care about. You’re my baby.
 * Audrey Raines: I can’t do it.
 * James Heller: Yes, you can. You can do it. Come on now.


 * James Heller: When my wife Susan died, I didn't deal with it at all. Actually, I went to work the next day. I remember thinking to myself, that's life. Quit feeling sorry for yourself. Get over it and get on with it. A few weeks later, I answered a call from an old friend of Susan's who did not know she had died. And when I heard myself saying, "Susan has passed away," when I actually said those words, it hit me. All the pain I was trying to shut out just overwhelmed me. Erin, you can't keep it inside. You cry, you blame God, you blame yourself and then you cry some more. And all the while you let you friends help you. It's pretty simple. Very painful. And I am so, so sorry for you.

Day 6

 * James Heller: (to Jack Bauer) You're cursed, Jack. Everything you touch, one way or another, ends up dead.


 * James Heller: (to Jack Bauer) Simply getting your life back, Jack, isn't going to change who you are. And you can't walk away from it, you know that.  You've tried it.  Sooner or later you're going to get back into the game, and my daughter is going to pay the price, like your wife did.
 * Jack Bauer: You son of a bitch.
