• Well, the thing is that...maybe she wasn't quite dead.
  • Who: Dan Mounts
  • Notes: Character is one of the two kidnappers of Kim Bauer who claimed to Ira Gaines that he killed her best friend Janet York even though he failed and she was taken to hospital. Gaines reveals that he heard from his people that Janet was in the hospital, prompting Dan to say this quote. Gaines explains that there's no such thing as "sorta dead," and that you're either dead or not. He shows this by shooting Dan dead.

• Who are you? Where's my father?
  • Who: Janet York
  • Notes: Character is treated in the hospital and her father Alan York requests to speak to her to see if she's up to answering Jack's questions in order to find and rescue Kim. However, when Janet wakes up, she does not recognize the man who claimed to be her father, prompting the quote. The imposter, revealed to be one of the terrorists and presumably the one who reported to Gaines that Janet was in the hospital, suffocates her to death and shuts off the monitoring system.
