- Jack Bristow: If for some reason this doesn't work, tell my girls I love them; Sydney and Laura.
- Dr. Atticus Liddell: You're going to pull through this Jack. I'll see you on the other side.
- Michael Vaughn: This is where your dad lives, huh?
- Sydney Bristow: What do you except?
- Michael Vaughn: I don't know; a bunker or something... You've really never been here?
- Sydney Bristow: No...
- Michael Vaughn: That's very strange.
- Sydney Bristow: As opposed to everything else about my relationship with my father.
- Sophia Vargas: Eric, you have no idea how excited I am to finally meet you. Nadia says the most beautiful things about you.
- Eric Weiss: Really?
- Nadia Santos: She asked me if you were tall, dark and handsome. I told her you were tall.
- [Weiss and Nadia giggle then kiss]
- Michael Vaughn: You okay?
- [He looks at Sydney, get closer and places his hands on her shoulders]
- Michael Vaughn: You're not okay.
- Sydney Bristow: I don't know how I'm going to do this.
- Michael Vaughn: Well, you know it's not too late, we can always have Weiss dress up as Irina. He'd make a great housewife.
- [Sydney has a small laugh]
- Sydney Bristow: I don't remember my parents; back when they were together.
- Michael Vaughn: Well, you were a little girl.
- Sydney Bristow: I remember the time; I don't remember them .My dad was my dad. He was never around when I was a kid. He was always away on business. My mom, I don't know what my dad was like around my mother. Or what she was like around him. I... I don't know how to do this.
- Michael Vaughn: Syd, it's just a job. It's another alias, like all the others. Just trust your training, follow your dad's cues, follow his lead. Besides, I've got snipers everywhere if he starts to get inappropriate.
- [Sydney laughs a little]
- Nadia Santos: They're ready.
- Michael Vaughn: Hey listen to me. You can do this.
- Sydney Bristow: Ah, thank you! Marshall, remind me to kiss you.
- Marshall Flinkman: Uhhh... okay.
- [He gets a huge grin]
- Eric Weiss: What... What did she say?
- Marshall Flinkman: Uhh... Uhh... nothin'.
- Jack Bristow: [to Sydney playing Laura] what concerns me,I won't be back until next week, I'll miss Sydney's birthday, again.
- Sydney Bristow: That's ok, you'll explain it to her, she'll understand.
- Jack Bristow: She's a child; she shouldn't need to understand her father isn't home to celebrate her birthday. Laura, the only memories I have of my father, are of him leaving.
- [Long pause]
- Jack Bristow: I don't want it to be that way for her, she deserves better.
- [Sydney is about to cry]
- Sydney Bristow: The work you do; is important.
- Jack Bristow: Not as important as her, or you. When I get back from Europe, I'm going to talk to my supervisors.
- Sydney Bristow: What about?
- Jack Bristow: Giving notice. Sorry, I should've discussed this with you before I made a decision.
- Sydney Bristow: No... That means more to me than you'll ever know.
- [Jack kisses her hand and moves to play piano with the little girl]
- Sydney Bristow: [Sydney watches and begins to cry]
- Sydney Bristow: Dad... dad can you hear me?
- [Jack moans]
- Jack Bristow: Hello...
- Sydney Bristow: Hi.
- Jack Bristow: [Very delirious] What are you doin... Why am I...
- Sydney Bristow: I need to ask you something; Dad?
- Jack Bristow: Oh no, it was my turn to pick up Sydney. After dance class, I'm sorry, can you take care of it. I'll cover next time Laura, I promise
- Sydney Bristow: Laura?
