Jack Bauer vs Walter White: Who's The Most Badass Character?

7. One-Liners

Jack: "You probably don't think I could force this towel down your throat, but trust me I can. All the way. Except that I'd hold onto this little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest the towel, I pull it out. Taking your stomach lining with it. Most people probably take about a week to die. It's very painful." "I'm gonna need a hacksaw." "Damnit!" "The only reason that you're conscious right now is because I don't want to carry you." "You are gonna tell me what I wanna know, it's just a matter of how much you want it to hurt." Walt: "I am the one who knocks." "You're goddamn right." "If that's true, if you don't know who I am, then maybe your best course... would be to tread lightly." "I'm not in the meth business. I'm in the empire business." "I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really - I was alive." WINNER: A tough category, but Jack's quotes tend to be a bit more throwaday in terms of badassery, whereas Walt's best lines stem from years and years of mythology building over the course of the show. It has to go to Walt.
