Quotes 

• CIA Director Hayden Chase : [to Sydney]  Even for you, Agent Bristow, your arrogance today is appalling!

• CIA Director Hayden Chase : I'm recommending to the board that you be stripped of classified clearance and assigned to the Dispatch Office at Langley.

  Sydney Bristow : You're transferring me... to the mail room?

• Sydney Bristow : If this is your... decision, Director Chase... I will no longer burden this agency with the hazard of my participation.

  CIA Director Hayden Chase : Are you opting to terminate your association with the CIA?

  Sydney Bristow : I will say it in English for you: I quit.

• Sydney Bristow : When I was approached about joining a black-ops unit within the CIA, I thought I was doing the right thing. And while I appreciate the necessary protocol in assembling a new team, Arvin Sloane is not...

  CIA Director Hayden Chase : [cutting her off]  I understand you used to work for Sloane.

  Sydney Bristow : Yeah, a criminal psychopath beyond verbal descripition...

  CIA Director Hayden Chase : I know all about Sloane.

  Sydney Bristow : Then allow me to ask the most obvious question in the history of time: How can the CIA let that man, who ran what amounts to a terrorist cell within the borders of this country, run anything?

• CIA Director Hayden Chase : But we can use him now: His contacts, his expertise, and he will be closely monitored.

  Sydney Bristow : I pity the man with that job.

  [Chase just looks pointedly at Sydney] 

  Sydney Bristow : [realization dawns on her]  Wait a minute...

  CIA Director Hayden Chase : With you here... Vaughn, Dixon, and your father, there's a built-in system of checks and balances. If Sloane missteps... you'll catch him. Now, that's it. This is your assignment.

• CIA Director Hayden Chase : I know you spoke of being hungry, looking for a fresh start.

  Sydney Bristow : It was nothing, my father, Vaughn, irrelevant personal stuff. I want to serve my country the best I can.

  CIA Director Hayden Chase : Well this assignment will be a challenge for you. More than you were lead to believe.

  [Director Chase opens a set of doors and motions for Sydney to follow. She walks in and sees Dixon, Jack, and Vaughn] 

  CIA Director Hayden Chase : The four of you chosen, handpicked to help run this team.

  Sydney Bristow : The four of us? Handpicked by whom?

  [Sydney turns around to see Sloane] 

  Arvin Sloane : This is exciting!
