Jack VO: There are terrorists planning to make LA go boom.  People inside the government may be involved (queue suspicious Michelle shot.)  And my daughter is implicated in a s#itty subplot.  I've been tracking this bomb since 9 AM and today is the...no I've done that one.  Um this is the second longest day.  No, that sucks, um...

 

Producer: Time is running out.

 

Jack VO: Hey that's great.  Time is running out.

 

The following takes place between 6 PM and 6:01 PM on a day not important enough to deserve a title.

 

Baywatch theme plays, Kim's still running.

 

Producer #1: How many times do we have to show this?

 

Producer #2: Until we come up with something good for Kim's storyline.

 

Marie: OK, now I have to go get the hard drive from my dad's Mac Desktop, too bad I don't have any tools to open this. (Places one finger on CPU, it falls apart, the hard drive falls with it.  She puts it in her purse, cell phone rings.) Hello.

 

Syed: Marie, go pick up the trigger at the place Marko works.

 

Marie: Sure.

 

Syed: And put on a crappy wig.

 

Marie: Done.

 

Jack: Kate, there's a nu-cle-ar bomb in LA.

 

'PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THE BOMB' TALLY CLICKS TO 1324.

 

Palmer: We need proof to arrest Staton.

 

Mike: I found a breast bone in the garbage.

 

Palmer: Let’s go see RFK.

 

Mike: He’s dead.


Palmer: Then let’s see a secret service agent who looks like RFK.

 

Sherry (to Lynne): Meow Meow meow.

 

Lynne: Fiss, Reor!

 

Jack: We’re going to wait until the service at the mosque is over and then identify Ali.

 

Kate: How about I go in and panic, causing Ali a chance to attempt an escape.

 

Jack: Good idea, put this hijab on.  And remember.

 

Kate: I know.

 

Jack and Kate: No letter openers.

 

Roger: Hey, why can’t I listen to my Avril Lavigne MP3s?

 

Three military dudes: Hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup.

 

Main MD: You’re under arrest for treason and having crappy taste in music.

 

TMD take Roger.  The exit.

 

Sherry: David, why won’t you let me in your circle.  It’s like you already know of my devia…oh s#it. (Hangs up)

 

BubWarner: Grrr grrr.

 

Tony: Calm down Bub.

 

BubWarner: I need to practice my monkey for the Pasadena social club presentation of “Planet of the Apes.”

 

Kate enters mosque with an “I’m not the woman you kidnapped and sentenced to be killed an hour ago” sign on her hijab.

 

Imam: Good evening.

 

Kate: THIS ISN’T NAIL POLISH!  AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!  YOU DIDN’T TORTURE ME!! (Runs out) Syed’s in there.

 

Jack: We know, we could hear you screaming.

 

Mike: Last call Staton made was to place an order for a bucket of the colonel’s original recipe.

 

Palmer: Let me talk with him. (To Roger) If you tell us everything, I’ll give you a full pardon.

 

Roger: Well Sherry is offering me PlayStation 2.  Tough luck.

 

Jack: OK Syed Ali looks like a man, wearing black, ummm.  That’s it.  Get in position.  Hey, don’t position the sniper rifle at passers by.  Oh and Kate, I’m going to thank you for helping us out and provide more foundation for a relationship between us.

 

Kim runs, again.

 

Producer: So how do we keep her running?

 

Producer #2: I saw a cougar once.

 

Producer: Let’s put it in.

 

Cougar pops up, Kim runs, gets caught in trap.

 

Producers #1&2: Hey wait a minute!  Why is she not running?  Damn you KIM!

 

Palmer: Hey RFK.

 

Agt. Simmons: Why does everyone keep calling me that!?

 

Palmer: I need you to extract information at any cost.

 

Agt. Simmons: You mean…

 

Palmer: Yes.

 

Agt. Simmons: I’ll call Fox.

 

Michelle: Tony, Reza and Agt. Richards are dyed.  Marie short her.

 

Tony: Yeah, what next, is she going to wear some crappy wig and exchange sexual favors for access to a critical piece of the bomb?

 

Marie: Are you the foresk…I mean foreman?

 

Foreman: Yeah.

 

Marie: Well if you let me get access to this locker and put your job in jeopardy, I’ll give you a (whispers at a censor friendly level)

 

Foreman grabs Marie by the arm and slams the door of his office shut.

 

Agt. Simmons: Where’s the secret recipe?

 

Roger: Original or extra crispy?

 

Agt. Simmons turns on a TV.

 

Announcer on TV: 24 won’t be seen at this time so we can bring you another 2 hour long edition of American Idol.


Roger winces in extreme pain.

 

Agt. Simmons: The recipe!

 

Roger: No, my brain, is it original or extra crispy?

 

BubWarner: I don’t believe that my daughter is a terrorist. (Tony slides a CTU report on the table, Bub looks over it) Well, how about…no it’s there, or what about…it’s air tight.  I always though it’d be me all along.

 

Jack: Do you see Syed Ali.

 

Kate: No, didn’t my description help.

 

Jack: Kate, there are about 4 million people out there in black shirt and black pants.  Let’s go in.

 

Jack runs in to see a guy on fire.

 

Jack: We're going to need a bag of marshmallows and some sticks, you can pick them up down the street.

 

Another Agent puts out the torched guy.

 

Jack: OK, if this is Syed Ali, why doesn't this scene resemble the one in the previews where we apprehend Ali?  DAMMIT!  Fox screwed up the previews again.

 

6:00:57, 6:00:58, 6:00:59, 6:01:00
