Sydney Bristow quotes from Alias

Sydney

[to Lauren] Vaughn and I have a history, a complicated one - I can't deny that, but I won't apologize for it either. If your marriage is in trouble, if you and Vaughn are having problems, I suggest you leave me out of it and take it up with your husband.

Sydney

After mom died, I used to have these daydreams. I would imagine her leading my girl scout troop or taking me shopping for new school clothes. I thought if only she'd lived, she would have been my best friend. When I learned the truth about her, and saw Irina for who she truly was, I was devastated. I won't make the same mistake twice.

Sydney

[to Sloane] I wanna make something clear. I will never forgive you for what you've done to me. To the people I love. No amount of time or distance will ever change that. I'll see you tomorrow.

Sydney

[to Vaughn] Just in case, yeah, I wanna marry you.

Sydney

Dad. Vaughn and I – we're having a baby.

Sydney

[to Rachel] I want to tell you a story. Just stop me if I get something wrong. You were approached in college, someplace public – the quad or walking to class. A man asked you if you wanted to serve your country. When he told you it was for the CIA, you just, you couldn't believe it. But you took the tests, and they were easy for you; they made you feel good about yourself. You probably started work at a false front, some phantom company that had you doing entry-level analysis... Maybe you wondered why you were never sent to Langley. Maybe you wondered why you weren't being trained with other recruits. Then you got promoted.

You've never gotten a D.

Sydney

I've gotten a D!

When?

Sydney

High school Home-Ec. Remember that --

Yeah. What did you do? Embroidered something on a t-shirt.

Sydney

Sweatshirt. That was the assignment.

It was obscene, right? About the teacher.

Sydney

He was a sexist pig. I deserved a scholarship for that. This time I deserve a D.

Who are you working for? I'll not ask you again.

Sydney

Okay. Get a pen. Write this down. E M E T I B. You got that?

Yes.

Sydney

Okay. Now reverse it.

Sydney

I've got bad news for you, man. I'm your worst enemy. I've got nothing to lose.

That's not exactly true. You have teeth. Okay. Let's try one more time. Who do you work for?

Sydney

Augh... Augh..

Sydney

I just want to say... start with the teeth in the back. If you don't mind.

Sydney

[After Danny has been murdered] What did you do?

Sloane

I might ask you the same question. Security section became aware of the breach and performed their function. You're familiar with the codes of conduct, Agent Bristow. You knew these codes apply to you, even if you put to risk the lives of every man and woman working in the agency.

Sydney

Danny wasn't a risk... he was... he was just a man. He was... he was a doctor, he was just...

Sloane

You listen to me. Information about this agency must be treated like a virus. There is only one response to a virus, and that response is containment. You put us in a compromised situation, and even though I despise the countermeasure, we have...

Sydney

Stop saying "we." Stop talking about the agency. You killed the man I love!

Sloane

No, Agent Bristow. You did.

Vaughn

They're reviewing your statement. You wrote a lot.

Sydney

I know.

Vaughn

I mean, it's like Tolstoy long. Devlin says it could take weeks to verify. But I know we could use another double agent in SD-6, so we'll be in contact. I'm going to get you a ride out of here, keep you concealed. Why are you shaking your head?

Sydney

Because you said another.

Vaughn

So?

Sydney

So if you really had one already you most likely wouldn't tell me until I was authenticated.

Vaughn

Unless I had an instinct about you.

Sydney

My bet is you don't...have another double.

Vaughn

We might.

Sydney

But you want me to believe that you do, so that on the off chance that I'm actually looking to be a triple agent I'll report back that there's an existing mole to upset the balance of my agency.

Vaughn

I'm not trying to play you.

Sydney

Yeah, we'll see.

Sydney

You said you wanted to talk about the plan. I'm giving you the plan.

Vaughn

It's not your job to give me the plan. I'm giving you the plan. Tomorrow's your first day back at SD-6. Now, nothing should change. When you get your assignment, you'll detail your mission on a paper bag. [picks one up, showing her] Bag. Then you'll call this number. Memorize it. After three tones, press the appropriate digit -- one through six. Each corresponds to a trash can in a specific location. Now we'll review your information, create a countermission, and we'll contact you posing as a wrong number: Joey's Pizza. Any questions so far?

Sydney

Yeah. Can you show me what a bag looks like again?

Sydney

Since I've known the truth about you, I've asked myself questions. Thousands of questions. But this one I have to ask you now. When Danny was killed... Dad... did you know? Did you know that's what they were going to do?

Jack

Yes. [Sydney slaps him]

Sydney

Don't you ever speak to me again.

Sydney

We've got a red wire, a yellow, a blue, a blue-white, there's a white wire, a yellow-red, an orange-red, a black, a white-black, an orange, a purple, a purple-white, a green, a green-white, a red-white, a light-blue --

Marshall

[On the phone] Okay, a blue-white wire.

Sydney

Okay, cutting the blue-white wire! Okay!

Marshall

Oh, hold the phone!

Sydney

DON'T TELL ME TO HOLD THE PHONE! I'M SITTING ON A TICKING NUCLEAR BOMB!

Sydney

I don't want it to be like that anymore, I'm just sick of it. I mean, I always had this feeling that maybe someday, I don't know, my dad and I would connect. That things could start to get better.

Francie

Well, you know my opinion of your dad.

Sydney

I know.

Francie

But listen. If you can find it in your heart to forgive him for being the kind of guy he's been all your life, which I would find impossible and could never do, then you should make a real effort.

Will

Hi, um, I don't know if I'm talking to the right person, but I need to borrow a million bucks. The Olsen twins went public, and I'm looking to invest.

Sydney

You'll need some collateral. I don't think you've got any.

Will

Well, have you seen my aqua blue Chevy?

Sydney

You mean, with the hula girl on the dash? Yes, sadly, we've seen that.
