Episode Quotes
Teri: Jack?
Jack: Sweetheart, we already talked about this, remember? You're supposed to call me grandpa.
Teri: You don't look like a grandpa.
Jack: Couldn't agree with you more!
Kim: How was the zoo?
Jack: To be honest with you, we spent most of our time just going back back and forth between the black bears and the polar bears.
Kim: I forgot to mention that she's going through a bear phase.
Jack: Well, she certainly knows what she wants. She reminds me of you.
Kim: That's funny, I always tell Stephen how much she reminds me of you.
Stephen: Sounds like they had fun.
Kim: They always do.
Stephen: What's wrong?
Kim: We talked to him about moving to LA the night we got here.
Stephen: Yeah, he said he'd think about it.
Kim: Yeah and he hasn't mentioned one word about it since and we leave tonight.
Stephen: Well, maybe he has to check with his doctors?
Kim: No, they cleared him two weeks ago. He's finished with treatment. I don't know. My father's been on his own for so long. Maybe he doesn't know how to live any other way.
Stephen: Why don't you just ask him again?
Kim: My father's not the type of person you ask twice.
Jack: Listen, I've been thinking a lot about what we talked about. And I've made up my mind. I want to move back to Los Angeles with you.
Jack: Victor... Victor, listen to me. You got to tell me everything you know about the hitter, so I can call it in, in case we don't make it.
Victor Aruz: If I don't make it, I don't care what happens. Get me to CTU.
Jack: You always were a son of a bitch.
