I had never watched 24 until very recently. I had heard all about it and read about it on blogs. I watched the show one night and people started recommending it and warning me at the same time. They said it was addictive, they said to go out and buy the previous seasons so that I would know what was going on. I did and I have and now I’m addicted. This after just a couple of weeks.
So, now that I’m yet another American Jack Bauer fan, I thought I’d put up a list of some of his quotes. Anyone who follows 24 has undoubtedly heard them before, but … we don’t have time for your personality disorder!!!
- I’m federal Agent Jack Bauer. This is the longest day of my life.
- I have killed two people since midnight. I haven’t slept in over 24 hours. So maybe you should be a little more afraid of me than you are now.
- Jack Bauer breaks every finger in Joseph Prado’s hand then says, ‘This will help you with the pain.’ He then knocks him unconscious.
- I need an interrogation room prepped NOW!
- When I’m finished with you, you’re gonna wish that you felt this good again.
- I need you to trust me.
- If you don’t tell me what I want to know, then it’ll just be a question of how much you want it to hurt.
- I don’t have time to explain right now.
- I need to talk to the president.
- Part of getting a second chance is taking responsibility for the mess you made in the first place.
- You probably don’t think that I can force this towel down your throat. But trust me, I can. All the way.
- I need you to data mine the files.
- The only reason that you’re conscious right now is because I don’t want to carry you.

Would you believe I’ve never seen an episode of 24? Perhaps I’ll borrow the DVD’s from a friend…
My TT is about support.
BSC: Be careful - I wrote that I had not seen a single episode of 24 on this blog one day and the next thing I knew I was addicted (not quite really addicted - but … yeah, addicted). Thanks for coming by
“24″ is a great show. Cool quotes Beth!
I’ve been enjoying it Layla. This is the first season I’ve watched it. They really ARE long days!!!
I’ve been knocked offline twice - and am hoping I can get this comment in before being knocked off again. My browser doesn’t like your blog for some reason!
Anyway - I bought the first season DVD of 24 - started watching it, but got sidetracked - and it’s now boxed up in one of my storage rooms. So AFTER we move into the new house this summer, I’ll get around to watching again.
BSC: Have you upgraded to IE7? This template doesn’t like IE6. I’m hoping that’s what it is anyway!
i have not seen 24 but I want to so bad…. i think I am gonna rent the passed seasons and catch up!
BSC: Resist the urge - don’t let these people talk you into it! They did me and now I’m hooked! But in all the 24 hours I’ve watch, I’ve never seen him sleep - I’m still trying to figure that one out
Which is why Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.
When Jack was a kid, he made is parents eat his vegetables. Because killing Jack Bauer doesn’t make him dead, it just makes him angry. He couldn’t find his keys one time, so he tortured himself until he revealed the location of his keys. He once played a game of Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun and WON!
Okay, I totally stole all of those. They’re pretty funny, though.
(I rented and watched seasons 1 through 5 this past fall. I’m pretty much desensitized now.)
BSC: OH NO! I just started watching the first 5 seasons. I can see where this is leading me! lol
I’ve been addicted to 24 since the first episode of the season one. I can’t count the times he’s said, “I need you to trust me.” LOL I’m thrilled you’ve joined the 24 Bandwagon. Welcome!
Great list!
BSC: Thanks for the welcome! I have a lot of catching up to do - but I’ve heard him say, ‘I need you to trust me.’ a bunch of times already! lol
What’s that ? Never heard of it, is it a tale out of a CIA torture place ?
BSC: That a show here in the U.S. I think Jack Bauer is the American version of James Bond.
Does this mean that since I’ve never seen the show that now, thanks to you, I’ll become an addict? I’ll have to consider that one…great idea for a thirteen.
BSC: I do actually think that’s what that means. I just made one little post on here about 24 a couple of weeks ago, I had never seen it before and not - just 2 weeks later this is my 3rd post about 24. I think that’s probably not a good thing! I just keep watching to see when he ever sleeps? No wonder he’s so cranky!
that’s why I’ve never seen it, I don’t like to become addicted to shows
I always zap to another channel when it comes on!
BSC: That’s very wise. Keep doing it. That’s what I did right up until a couple of weeks ago and now it’s too late!
I’m addicted, too. Those are some classics.
Here’s one more: “Set up a perimeter…”
Now that you mention it, I think I’ve heard him say, ‘Set up a perimeter ..’ in every episode I’ve watched! Of course, I haven’t watched that many yet
I only got hooked last year after avoiding any hint of 24–My dad got us sucked in. Great List!
Happy TT!
BSC: I avoided it right up till this season - other bloggers made me do it. It’s their fault! lol
SanDiego named a street after Jack Bauer,but they had to change the name because no one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.
Love Jack!
BSC: LOL. I just want to make sure I don’t ever cross Jack Bauer! lol
I’ve only seen a few minutes of one episode and it didn’t appeal to me. But, that might change.
Check out my TT.
I don’t watch the tele but the quotes sounded interesting.
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT’ing!

My T13 is an admission newsflash to become an A-Team Cruiser - we’ll have some fun later on - check it out
I absolutely love 24! My husband and I have been addicted since about minute 3 of Season 1! It’s an awesome show!

Great list and happy tting! My list on thirteen things about the color red is up!
Those are great. I enjoyed them and I don’t even watch the show!!
My T13 is about why I am glad to be home!
BSC: Thanks! I bet you are glad to be home. Traveling is nice - but gets old. I like to sleep in my own bed!
I love this show! But I’m sad they killed off one of my favorite characters already this year.
BSC: Who was that?
I LOVE this show and your TT was fantastic. Such.A.Good.Show.
