I read the FAQ (again) and I did a forum search but could not find a plain old 24 quotes thread. I only found the non-sexy sexy quotes. So, I hope I'm not going to get in trouble for starting this.

I just watched the 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. episode and had to post this quote, because it made me feel all warm and fuzzy (in that trying-to-stop-a-terrorist sort of way).

Tony: The suicice capsules ... For the people down at the hotel ... It's going to get pretty bad down there.
Chappelle: It's against every regulation in the book.
Tony: Yeah.
Chappelle: Do it.

That short sequence renewed my love for Tony and is the first time I've ever wanted to cheer for Chappelle! Funny how a few little lines will do that to you.

Jack to Kim: Again
After she shot the husband-guy that was after her last season.

[Benji]

Jack to Chapelle before shooting him: I'm sorry we let you down.

That is my new favorite line ever, as far as just emotional impact. There's some funny lines from Mason, Sherry and Jack, but that one was just really really sad.

[trippyhop]

On the last episode, Chloe to Tony: "I can't disobey Chappelle! He's mad at me for, like, twelve things already!"

[24-4ever]

Jack to Nina in season 2 after she tells him that as soon as Faheem sees her he'll shoot her and then turn the gun on himself : "We'll make sure he doesn't turn the gun on himself".

[MrHeavyfoot]

Another Nina Quote.

Jack: What did he tell you?

Nina: Everything! (slices terrorist's throat with gift card)

[MKahnFan]

"Bury him." "Where?" "In the ground!" -- Gaines and Rick, discussing Dan's remains, in season 1

"Since midnight tonight, you won't get me to disapprove of a single action he's taken." -- Tony, defending Jack against a witch hunt in season 1

"Thanks... for helping us cut through the red tape." -- Chappelle to Palmer, after Palmer calls the D.O.D. to get around Chappelle's efforts to keep him away from Jack Bauer in season 1

"More importantly, they have misjudged me." -- Palmer, about to defy his nefarious campaign contributors during a televised press conference, in season 1

"You just don't walk away from me!" -- Sherry to David, right before he does just that in season 1

"They're gonna let her go." -- Jack, upon learning of Nina's impending deal, in season 2

"Remember earlier today, when I told you I couldn't wait to get out of here? I don't feel that way anymore." -- George Mason, just before he leaves CTU for the last time in season 2

"I'm proud of you, and I love you." -- Kim to Jack, as he is flying the plane carrying the nuke, in season 2

"There's nothing to be sorry for, Mr. President." -- Agent Aaron Pierce, as he is arrested for assisting Palmer in season 2

"That's a direct order, Ryan!" -- Mike Novick, redeeming himself by ordering CTU to Jack's aid in season 2

"There. I said it." -- Chloe, proud of herself for saying her piece in season 3

"I can still be whatever you need me to be." -- Sherry to David, promising she'll take care of business, in season 3

"My legs are shaking." -- Chappelle, season 3

About a year and a half later, I still use this one all the time, despite it having practically no useful applications in my life:

"I'm gonna need a hacksaw."

[lex_talionis]

One of my favorites is the Gaines' reply on Janet York's dead-or-alive status:

"See, you're either dead, or not dead. There isn't such a thing as 'sort of' dead. Here, let me show you..." Gaines then shoots Dan in the head as Rick looks on, horrified

[MonaLisaVito]

Nurse- Sir, I will call the police!
Jack- Lady, I am the police -- now open the door!

[alamogal]

AsianTerrorMinion: What happened to you?
FauxYork: I had a fight with your wife.

[NotMe]

I'm a long-time lurker, but this thread inspired me to add my all-time favorite--

Jack, to Nina, just before shooting her--

"You have no more useful information." [Bang. etc.]

(That one is handy in so many situations.)

[DMW_SFU]

From Sunday's episode, I loved this:

Chloe: (to Jack, who's trying to save Chappelle, but can't tell her that) Your tone of voice isn't exactly a morale booster.

And I know MKahnFan said it above, but it bears repeating, because it broke my heart, as did much of Sunday's episode:

Chappelle: My legs are shaking.

One more:

Tony: I should be there with you.
Michelle: You are.

Awww. It's really going to break my heart if Michelle doesn't survive this, but it will irritate me if she does. I know it's OT, but does it make sense?

About a year and a half later, I still use this one all the time, despite it having practically no useful applications in my life:

"I'm gonna need a hacksaw."

I use a hacksaw about once a month, and I giggle every time I say I need it. Hee.

[DMW_SFU]

That made me feel really sorry for him funkmiester3218, and it also helped me understand why he's been such a bitter and abrasive jerk for so long.

I use a hacksaw about once a month,

I'm curious, JuliaMac: Why?

From tonight:

Jack: "There is no lawyer. There's just you and me." You go, Kiefer.

[Jen724]

From tonight:

Jack: "There is no lawyer. There's just you and me." You go, Kiefer.

That reminded me of Jack saying, "I'm your lawyer, son" to Alex, the (soon-to-be-dead) hacker dude in S2.

And from somewhere in the vicinity of that scene, we got Sherry's "Jack Bauer's not very high on the food chain" comment.

[DukieJF]

Long time lurker, first time poster...

Gotta love the Kiefer/Nina konfrontation in the parking garage at the end of Season 1. First the gunfight from the kars, then when Kiefer pulls Nina out of the car, his incredulous "DOING YOUR JOB?!" monologue is amazing. He sounds like he just wants to crush her throat right there.

[Eboogie]

Chloe to Kim:

"I'm behind you 110%. I really hope nothing bad happens."

[dzhim]

That reminded me of Jack saying, "I'm your lawyer, son" to Alex, the (soon-to-be-dead) hacker dude in S2.

And that reminded me of "I'm calling the police!" "Lady, I AM THE POLICE!" when rushing Wallace into the clinic a few hours earlier in S2.

[Benji]

Jack is everything, I guess.

Jack (to random CTU employee): Get out before I throw you out!

[amelia41]

One of my favorites from S1

Jack to Greg Pentacoff- "Your lawyer can kiss my ass."

[SeaBreeze341]

Charlie Brown to "Ill Bill" (loving the nickname, BTW): Think!

Chase had all the right to get upset, because he wasn't supposed to be anywhere following the Hotel.

[gischeleman]

someone correct this from tape if possible, but Chloe to Kim:
"That's great energy, Kim. Use it."

That was the knee-slapper of the night in an episode featuring some great Chloe-isms

[shootingstar]

I love quote threads - good ones everyone!

I think we need a favorite scenes thread too. I find myself remembering key scenes so much easier. Sometimes it's the scenario that begs highlighting.

[Insert what you think he said] - Jack whispering to Nina Season 2.

[gischeleman]

Actually, I'm wondering what y'all think is the single best quote from each season. That could make for some lively debate. My off-the-top nominations are:

Season 1: "WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?
Season2: "I'm gonna need a hacksaw"
Season 3: "There I said it" (so far)

[katymo]

The new "WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?" is "WHERE IS YOUR FATHER?!". Damn I enjoy this show's dialogue!

[faninohio]

"I meant everything I ever said to you" was pretty hot dialogue for the KieferNation!
