Carlos Bernard: Tony Almeida

Quotes 

• [Tony has a temporary assignment with CTU] 

  Tony Almeida : You know, Edgar, you weren't paying attention. Look, we can't afford for you to be losing focus at a time like this, all right?

  Edgar Stiles : I'm sick of people talking to me like I don't know what I'm doing! Especially people who don't really work here!

• Tony Almeida : [Briefing Jack]  his name is Joseph Fayed, associate professor at Greene University, chemical engineering, came to the US in 1985 to get his graduate degree

  Curtis Manning : We're sending in a tactical team to pick him up now

  Jack Bauer : That's a mistake

  Curtis Manning : Why?

  Jack Bauer : With everything we've seen today, Marwan vetted his inner circle very carefully: that man will die before he says anything

  Tony Almeida : You're probably right but what can we do besides arrest Fayed?

  Jack Bauer : Send someone in undercover, take a chance, they might lead you to Marwan

  Tony Almeida : Come on, we don't have the time to put one of our own people undercover

  Jack Bauer : I'm not talking about one of our own people: Dina Araz

  Curtis Manning : [to Jack]  she's already made her deal. We granted her son immunity, we have nothing left to offer her

  Jack Bauer : Maybe, maybe not. Let me talk to her while you mobilize a tactical team, if I can't get her to cooperate by the time their ready, send them in but it's simple: we either find Marwan or we will not be able to stop what his planning next

  Tony Almeida : Based on what just happened? No

  Michelle Dessler : Where's Chloe? I didn't see her on the active roster

  Tony Almeida : Driscoll forced her to resign

  Michelle Dessler : Why?

  Tony Almeida : Apparently Chloe went against Driscoll's orders: sided with Jack, turns out Jack was right

• Tony Almeida : [while in an interrogation room with Jack, after placing a folder in front of her]  why don't you to look over the timeline? We'll talk through the details

  Dina Araz : [Before closing the folder]  I'm not doing anything until I see my son

  Tony Almeida : We don't have time for that right now

  Dina Araz : Seeing my son is non negotiable

  Jack Bauer : [after gesturing to Tony to leave the room]  you need to learn every aspect of the cover story: your life depends on it

  Dina Araz : Don't worry about me

  Jack Bauer : You can see your son but only for a minute, let's go
