Sydney Bristow quotes from Alias

How'd he pop the question?

Sydney

[posing as a married couple] He took me to...

Vaughn

Santa Barbara, actually. I had this whole romantic weekend planned. Presidential suite at the Biltmore. Candlelit dinner on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. So we went into town and she wouldn't stop talking about the zoo. So we went to the zoo. I figured I had to get it over with. Then I saw how happy it made her. That made me forget about all my stupid plans. And here we had a personal chef making this unbelievable meal at the hotel and I proposed on one knee in sawdust in front of a giraffe with a crooked neck.

Sydney

The story you told at the dealership. We were supposed to go to Santa Barbara three years ago. We never made it.

Vaughn

Karen and Dave did.

Sydney

I know what this is. This is a game to you. A cruel joke at my expense.

Vaughn

What's a game?

Sydney

You and me. Admit it.

Vaughn

No, Sydney, Sydney, listen to me. What are you scared of?

Sydney

I am scared. Scared you're gonna betray me again. Like you did when you married Lauren.

Vaughn

I would never, ever hurt you.

Sydney

Stop. Stop right there.

So how do I know you’re not one of the bad guys?

Sydney

If I was one of the bad guys, you would already be dead.

Marshall

The good thing, slash, bad thing about living in Austria, smoking is not prohibited. Ergo you have just developed a smoking habit. [offers Sydney a cigarette]

Sydney

No, thanks.

Marshall

Good answer, just checking. It is actually a mag strip encoder.

Sydney

Give me the pen? What if these aren't operation names?

Vaughn

What are you doing?

Sydney

Substitiution cipher.

Vaughn

Okay, how'd you see that?

Sydney

My father used to encrypt my crossword puzzles when I was a kid [Vaughn snorts, she looks up] The least of my childhood dysfunctions.

Sydney

Do you know how hard it is to maintain cover while dancing the salsa in three-inch heels?

Vaughn

Actually, I do, but let's not go into that.

Sydney

We give Roberts the coil and put him into play. He makes an exchange, we track the coil back to Arvin Clone.

Sydney

Sorry, that's what we've been calling him.

Weiss

Yeah, also, uh, Marvin Sloane... The Rolling Sloanes...

Sydney

The man, the impostor- everything about him is Sloane. His clothes, his posture, the way he looked at me, it's the way you look at me.

Sloane

And how is that Sydney?

Sydney

Let's just say it's equally disturbing.

Sydney

What the hell were you thinking?!?

Sloane

I'm sure you mean that in the most polite way.

Vaughn

This is where your dad lives, huh.

Sydney

What did you expect?

Vaughn

I don't know, a bunker or something? You've really never been here?

Sydney

No.

Vaughn

That's very strange.

Sydney

As opposed to everything else about my relationship with my father.

Sydney

Remind me to kiss you.

Marshall

Wh-? Ok...

Dixon

What'd she say to you?

Marshall

Uh... nothing.

Sydney

You still trust him.

Jack

I trust that when he laid the seeds for this crisis, he thought he was doing something good. That he didn't see this as a trigger for global genocide.

Sydney

So he's simply a delusional megalomaniac with benign intentions.

Vaughn

How do you want to play this?

Sydney

You mean you want to be rough or you want me to be rough?

Vaughn

Oh, you're always rough.

Sydney

No, I'm not!

Vaughn

Yes, you are.

Sydney

That's not true.

Vaughn

Yes, it is.

Sydney

Are you talking about at home or on ops?

Vaughn

Both... Hey, I'm not complaining.

Sydney

If I'm rough it's because you like it when I... Are we on comms?!

Jack

Yes, you're both on comms. Right now.

Sydney

Vaughn, what are you telling me?

Vaughn

Well, for starters, my name's not Michael Vaughn.
