Sydney Bristow quotes from Alias

Jack

Sydney, there's something you should know. When I first learned of Sloane's affair with your mother, I was forced to consider the possibility that I wasn't in fact your biological father.

Sydney

You don't even--

Jack

It's not the case. I had our medical files examined. Our relationship is clear. But I wanted you to know, during that brief time before I was reassured my feelings for you never changed.

Vaughn

Your sister - you have to let her go.

Sydney

You're tired. I should let you sleep.

Vaughn

No. My father was killed because he took her from the KGB. He hid her from your mother. That's why she murdered him. I met someone who told me the prophecy. The Passenger and the Chosen One shall battle; neither will survive.

Michael Vaughn

Whatever Lauren did to me, I want you to know I take full responsibility for what's happened. I messed up, and if you can't get past that, I understand. But will you try?

Sydney

I don't know.

Vaughn

Will you at least think about it? Because it's all I can think about.

Sydney

Yeah. I will think about it.

Vaughn

I want to find your sister, but I need to find my wife. Lauren cannot be allowed to get away with what she's done.

Sydney

Well, Lauren might. And you have to be prepared to deal with that.

At seven twenty-two this evening, you were logged in at the safe-house where Nadia Santos is being held. Is that accurate?

Sydney

It was around dinner. I brought her a sandwich.

Where were you before that?

Sydney

Buying her the sandwich.

Sydney

[about Vaughn] You want him to kill Lauren...

Jack

If he doesn't, it will eat at him like a cancer. The only cure is to end it now. She destroyed Vaughn's life.

Sydney

Vaughn's life. Not yours. This is about what Lauren did to Vaughn, not what mom did to you. I don't know what you've told him or how much of all this you've orchestrated, but in some twisted way you got Vaughn carrying your burden. Trying to get you closure by doing the one thing you never had the chance to do – kill the person who betrayed you.

Jack

I did have a chance. And I didn't take it. And not a day went by that I didn't regret letting her go. Vaughn will feel the same way. He will end up like me. And I love you too much to let that happen.

Jack

It must've been lost in the mail.

Sydney

Your invitation?

Jack

Unless it was an e-vite. I don't read e-vites.

Sloane

Because I see in her something I once saw in you: the need to work for what's right. And because you know what it is to put aside personal issues, and that... that's a gift.

Sydney

It's not a gift. What it's been is a necessity, and it's become a burden, and, quite frankly, something I've run out of patience for.

I'm recommending to the board that you be stripped of classified clearance and assigned to the Dispatch Office at Langley.

Sydney

You're transferring me... to the mail room!?

[opens a suitcase] What is inside can be used for good... or evil.

Sydney

Me too.

Sloane

[about Nadia] I knew she would be of great value here... but she chose to leave intelligence. Drop out.

Sydney

You sure she really left? Fake quitting seems to be all the rage.

Sydney

You manipulated Nadia.

Jack

I gave your sister closure.

Sydney

But not the truth.

Jack

Sometimes a satisfying lie, Sydney, can do more good than the awful truth.

So, what's your real name, Charlene?

Sydney

I'm a...

Ima what?

Sydney

I'm a gonna kick your ass.

Sloane

Thank you.

Sydney

For what.

Sloane

For letting my daughter stay with you. As Nadia acclimates to this life, to a new family... she needs support... and you have put my mind at ease.

Sydney

The thought that I did something that might have given you a warm and fuzzy feeling makes me want to kick my own sister out of my house.

Weiss

You don't have to analyze everything you do. You can just decide to have fun. It's okay.

Sydney

[about Vaughn and her] We're fun.

Weiss

Yeah. You guys are about as spontaneous as my grandparents - and they're dead.
