- Francie Calfo: Hey, how was your trip?
- Sydney Bristow: Oh. Not good. I was working with these people who - they were terminated.
- Francie Calfo: Oh, man. The economy sucks.
- Eloise Kurtz: Just leave me alone! I don't know anything!
- Will Tippin: See, it's people who say that that always know much more than they think they do.
- Sydney Bristow: Don't lecture me about my father. Because of his spy-trade my mother is dead. You couldn't possibly understand what it's like to have a parent die that way.
- Michael Vaughn: There's a book back at Langley. They keep it locked up under glass. Behind it there's a marble wall with stars carved on it. It's a memorial to the agents the Company has lost in action. Families are never told how they died or even where, only that they won't be coming home. I was eight when my father became one of those stars.
- [Vaughn gives Sydney a small box with a child's plastic bug]
- Sydney Bristow: What's this?
- Michael Vaughn: A bug.
- Sydney Bristow: What are you, twelve-years-old?
- Michael Vaughn: No, a *bug*.
- Sydney Bristow: What about the file - the one you pulled for me? There were pages missing. Maybe it didn't end twenty years ago. Maybe he's still working for Russia!
- Michael Vaughn: Stop. Okay? Stop. What matters, what "is" important, is taking down SD-6. Jack - your father - is helping us do that!
- Arvin Sloane: Jack will no longer be working out of Jennings Aerospace. His assignment there is complete. As of today, he will be working here with a cover as portfolio manager for Credit Dauphine. This way, he can more actively participate in the planning and execution of missions.
- Sydney Bristow: [forces a smile] Good.
- Sydney Bristow: I know about you! That you were hunted by the F.B.I.! And I know that mom died because they went after you.
- Jack Bristow: Sydney...
- Sydney Bristow: Every time I think I know just how awful you are, I learn something worse.
- Sydney Bristow: [while undercover] Mon Chéri, I would rather a lamborghini.
- Marcus Dixon: You are the birthday girl.
- Jack Bristow: You don't have clearance.
- Sydney Bristow: Clearance to know how my mother died?
- Jack Bristow: There are rules, Sydney.
- Sydney Bristow: Then you break them!
- Francie Calfo: Bar association dinner. One of the lawyers wanted to sue me because his chicken was undercooked. Can you believe that... an obnoxious lawyer?
- Michael Vaughn: Chances are, we won't have time to pull a switch, so deliver it to SD-6. When they break the code, they'll inform their affiliate offices through the computer network. Thanks to you, we're still downloading from their mainframe.
- Sydney Bristow: How much have you gotten so far?
- Michael Vaughn: Almost two per cent.
- Sydney Bristow: In all this time? That's all you got?
- Michael Vaughn: If we take too much, too quickly, they'll notice the leak. But we're patient. We can get all their internal files and then we can do some real damage.
