Sydney Bristow quotes from Alias

Sydney

[watching Emily on security camera footage] She's alive?

Jack

She walked through the front door, told the duty guard she is the wife of Arvin Sloane, that she wants to cooperate with the CIA and that she will only talk to you.

Sydney

Vaughn. I mean, okay. The backpack is getting a little ridiculous.

Vaughn

What do you mean?

Sydney

[she points to her bureau] The middle drawer. It's yours.

Weiss

She gave you a drawer, huh?

Vaughn

It was a gesture of convenience.

Weiss

And, uh, what did you put in it?

Vaughn

Why do you care?

Weiss

What do you mean, why do I care? Do you know how spoiled you are? You know, a drawer! I wish I had a girlfriend to say "Hey, do you want a drawer?"

Vaughn

I'll give you a drawer at my place.

Weiss

I don't wanna drawer in your place.

Weiss

[to Vaughn] If we end up sharing a cell in federal prison, I'm not giving you a drawer.

Jack

I'm not willing to risk your life based on speculative intel you acquired from a Russian spy.

Sydney

Why would she lie?

Jack

That's precisely the question!

Sydney

She turned herself in!

Jack

She's not the first!

Sydney

We downloaded the DNA database Caplan decrypted from the computer he was working on. We finally have a lead on Sloane and Derevko.

Jack

Good. But, Sydney, if you go around me again I'll have you transferred and finding them will no longer be part of your job description.

Sydney

There's a future date listed on the page, isn't there?

Forty-eight hours from now.

Sydney

What's the prediction?

The page doesn't say, it just gives the time. It's the equivalent of midnight, eastern standard time.

Sydney

I have known Will for years. Trust me on this.

Jack

There's another possibility... that the man we have in custody is not Will Tippin. Project Helix. The doubling prototype that you destroyed in Poland was designed to reshape a person's physical attributes to identically resemble someone else. The prototype's database revealed two scheduled recipients of the procedure: Dr. Markovic who was killed, and a second unknown individual.

Sydney

You think Will is the double.

Kendall

We found Provacillium in Will's car. It's a medication usually taken by gene therapy patients to keep the body from rejecting the DNA mutations.

Sydney

If someone wanted to set Will up, this is exactly what they would do -- plant these clues, condition him. I'd like permission to assign Francie protective detail. If Sloane is targeting my friends, she could be next.

Jack

Done.

Sydney

I'd also like to speak to her about Will. She might have information that could help.

Jack

Tell her what you think is necessary, but only what's necessary.

Sydney

You erased it...

Irina

I transferred a copy to a secure location. I'll give it to you. In exchange, I want you to do something.

Sydney

Go to hell!

Irina

If you don't, you'll never clear Will's name. He'll be tried as a traitor and executed. I'll be calling on you soon, Sydney.

Sydney

We received a file, a DNA string, of the person who was doubled.

Will

And?

Sydney

Your DNA didn't match and there was no Provacillium in your blood. You've been cleared.

Sydney

Get off the ledge now!

Irina

Sloane believes he's been chosen to realize the word of Rambaldi. But you, too, have been chosen.

Sydney

If you think I'm bluffing...

Irina

It's you in the prophecy, Sydney, not me. Only you can stop him. Good luck, sweetheart. I love you.

Vaughn

We thought you were dead. They asked me to come back to . . . to explain.

Sydney

Come back from what? What are you talking about? [noticing his hand] Vaughn... why are you wearing that ring?

Vaughn

Syd... since that night... you were missing. You've been missing for almost two years.

Sydney

Where's my father? Or . . . or my mom - have you heard from her since Mexico City? Vaughn said Will's alive. If there was a fire in my apartment, if he thought I was dead, then how did Will survive? Where is he?

Dixon

Sydney ...

Sydney

And Francie - is she dead? Did they find her body, too?

Dixon

I know you have a million questions, but ...

Sydney

I have a lot more than a million questions! I wish I only had a million questions!

Sydney

They told me you were charged with resisting authority. Dad, I don't understand.

Jack

I became obsessed with your death; with finding those responsible. And at a certain point in my pursuit, I needed help. So I contacted the one person I believed I could trust, given the circumstances...your mother.

Sydney

You were working with Mom?

Jack

At the time, she was number 6 on the CIA's most wanted list. The National Security Council, primarily ... Robert Lindsey. You met him?

Sydney

Yes.

Jack

He discovered that I was collaborating with your mother, so he threatened me, questioned my allegiance to this country. He chose to make an example of me - an NSC power play. And here we are.

Jack

Vaughn what?

Sydney

He got married.

Jack

Michael Vaughn is just a boy who was never good enough for you.

Sloane

You remember the Rambaldi device? The machine designed 500 years ago by a prophet? All I did was bring all the pieces together and have it assembled. And when I turned it on, it delivered a message, as I suspected it would. I wasn't prepared for what it said. The message was just one word, one simple word: peace. The epiphany I had at that moment . . . suddenly I saw all the mistakes I'd made, the pain I had inflicted on the world, the people I loved. So I chose right then and there to give information to the CIA with which they were able to dismantle at least two dozen terrorist cells.

Sydney

I don't know how you convinced the CIA that you're trustworthy . . .

Sloane

Why don't you check my files?

Sydney

I know you too well. I don't buy any of it.
