Was this line from 24 scripted?
In S4 E9 around 22:46 (streaming), Jack is speaking with Tony about how Dina and Behrooz Araz do not show up on any watch lists. At that moment, Erin Driscoll calls Jack.
Jack
Yeah?
Erin
Jack, it's Driscoll. Homeland Security...
Jack
Hold on, Erin. I can barely hear ya. (Walks outdoors with Tony).
Go ahead.
We know that phone calls occurred in real-time. Something felt off about the way Jack asked Erin to wait. I'm curious, does anyone know if this was scripted or there was actually bad cell service?
Best Answer
24 was not actually filmed in real time, it was just set to run in real time. Thus, there were no actual calls made, it was merely acting with a phone as a prop. It's conceivable that the two sides of the phone call weren't even filmed on the same day, since any delays in shooting could adversely effect the natural light and cause continuity issues, and trying to coordinate two actors would lead to twice as many possibilities of lines being screwed up than just having one actor handle their lines.
