Slowly, I want you to pull over, now.

It didn't have to end like this Jack. [Aims at Jack's head behind him] You could've had it all. Jack Bauer: I just want you to know, I didn't want you to feel like I had turned my back on you, that I turned my back on the family.

I gave the order for his assassination. Graem Bauer: And agent Tony Almeida and agent Michelle Dessler. Your co-workers, they're all dead because of me.

	Season 6 / Episode 7: - Day 6: 12:00 P.M.-1:00 P.M. Bill Buchanan: Unbelievable. That's what Graem was holding back? Jack Bauer: Not only was he responsible for David Palmer's assassination, he directed the entire conspiracy. He was trying to protect the company. That's what he's trying to do now.

	Season 6 / Episode 1: - Day 6: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. Jack Bauer: [to Bill Buchanan] Do you know the difference between dying for nothing and dying for something. That's why I'm still alive. That's the only reason why I managed to stay alive in China, so I wouldn't die for nothing. Today, I can die for something. Abu Fayed: [while torturing Jack Bauer] Funny you should mention Assad. Assad's been talking about renouncing violence and negotiating. Abu Fayed: [prepares to jam a sharp metal rod in Jack's back] Assad is a traitor to the cause. And soon he will be dead. That's right, Jack. CTU is about to kill the wrong man. Assad isn't behind these attacks. He's come here to stop them. He's come here to stop... me. Abu Fayed: [jams the metal rod into Jack's back] Jack Bauer: [gasping in beaut pain] Abu Fayed: [pulls the rod out after a few seconds and drops it on the floor and finishes with] You will die for nothing.
	Season 6 / Episode 1: - Day 6: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. Jack Bauer: Do you understand the difference between dying for something and dying for nothing? Today I can die for something. My way. My choice
	Season 6 / Episode 1: - Day 6: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. Jack Bauer: Do you understand the difference between dying for something and dying for nothing? Thats why I fought so hard to stay alive in China, because I didn't want to die for nothing. Today, I can die for something.
	Season 5 / Episode 24: - Day 5: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. Jack Bauer: [Jack is dressed as a co-pilot and holds the "Marine 1" pilot at gunpoint] Captain... I can fly this thing if i have to, which leaves you with one of two choices; you either do as i say and you live, or you don't and you die for nothing, do you understand me?
	Season 5 / Episode 24: - Day 5: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. Cheng Zhi: [Holding Jack hostage] You surely must be aware, Mr. Bauer, that China has a long memory. Only eighteen months ago, you invaded our territory and killed our consul. [Leaning to Jack] Did you really think that we would forget? Hmm? Jack Bauer: [Weakly] I know how this works... I need to make one phone call... Please... just one phone call. [pause, until Jack spits at Cheng, and Cheng's men are throwing Jack on the floor] Kill me... Just... kill me... Cheng Zhi: Kill you? You're far too valuable to kill, Mr. Bauer.
	Season 5 / Episode 24: - Day 5: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. Jack Bauer: A year and a half ago, I was warned that my life was in danger by someone within the government. I was told the only way I could stay alive was to create the illusion that I was dead. I was forced to deceive people that I loved. My only daughter will never forgive me. As I see the depth of your corruption unfold, I have no doubt that you are that source of danger. David Palmer was a great man, and he was a great President. 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, too. So Mr. Logan, I hope you understand... I have absolutely nothing to lose. You are going to be held accountable for your part of everything that happened today. You will not be able to hide behind the Presidency - right here, right now, you are going to face justice! And make no mistake about this, this is personal. And if you think for a second that I am scared to put a bullet in your brain, you don't know me. I am going to ask you one last time. Who are your co-conspirators? You have until the count of three, or I will kill you.
