I haven't seen 24 so I don't know much about him, but wouldn't it be really hard to spend quality time with a guy like that?
He makes very good use of time.... but there's never enough of it ;~D
Heh...you'd be surprised at how many "moments" are worked in.
It's a little stressful for the watchers, though, 'cause we're thinking "You guys don't have TIME FOR THIS!!! The world is going to END if you don't stop the sweet talkin' and get back to WORK!!"
