24 Bingo - eyes down!
I've watched every episode of 24 and love it to bits in all its gung-ho, reactionary and implausible brilliance. Such was its reach chez Rosbif that Mrs R and I are still wont to use 24 speak on occasion. There are certainly plenty of phrases to choose from, and more than enough to make a bingo card. Purely off the top of my head:
Patch me through
I'm sorry about your [dead] friend, I am
I'm going dark
Copy that
Send the building plans to my PDA
I've got a workaround for that
Let's just see how this thing plays out
You're finished, Bauer!
You are going to talk, the only question is how much you want it to hurt
I need a chopper NOW!
I'm sure you can think of more, either about 24 or your own favourite series. Go!

Damn it! 2
In the pilot to Keifer's new series "Touch", he says "Damn it!" in a very Jack Bauer fashion around 5 minutes into the episode, which I'm sure was a deliberate shoutout to the fans...

DROP
THE WEAPON!
We Can Do
This!
3 things you don't hear Jack Bauer saying
1. Just off to the toilet, back in 5mins.
2. What time's lunch? I'm starving.
3. 10pm?...early bedtime for me tonight I think. That bomb will wait until tomorrow
Along with
sod the bloody battery life on this phone.
With All Due
Respect Mr President, that's the wrong play!
Chloe, I need you to do something for me
Backup is still 5 minutes out
There's no time for backup!
That was our only lead!
I need you to trust me
DAMMIT!!!!!
Some excellent reminders folks
Ruff-Diamond, go to the top of the class. And how could I forget Dammit??
Then again, there's always this old favourite: "[x] is the new Head of CTU."
That's an order!
Another thing you never hear Jack Bauer say: "Look guys, I know this slimeball probably knows how to save hundreds of lives, but ask yourselves this: what if he doesn't, and would you want it on your conscience that you allowed the TORTURE of an INNOCENT man. Oh, and by the way, the information drawn from torture victims is notoriously unrelia..."
New 24 Movie
slated to start filming this spring apparently.
Something else you never hear Jack say on 24 - "Dammit, I REALLY need to pee..."
