Marshall Flinkman quotes from Alias

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!

Sloane

Marshall couldn't open the lock box.

Marshall

Uh, in my defense, it was rigged with a brand-new tech, an internal device that will destroy anything inside if opened without the key --

Sloane

Marshall, would you please go back to work?

Marshall

Just to clarify, I'm not being fired?

Sloane

'Back to work' means not fired.

Marshall

Want to have a seat? I got a minor form of scoliosis, so the air ergonomically hugs me. Oh, you want to stretch out? I can inflate the couch.

Sloane

I'll stand.

Dixon

You okay?

Marshall

[Blood is running down his head] Except for my head injury, yeah.

Marshall

[to Sark] Hi. Welcome. Don't kill me.

Sark

Look, I understand that none of you are inclined to believe a word I say but I assure you, it's not in my best interest to betray you. You've given me an opportunity of a lifetime, and I don't intend to squander it.

Vaughn

Marshall? I'm Michael Vaughn. Welcome to the CIA.

Marshall

[smiles nervously] Heard that one before.

Vaughn

[smiles] Well, this time it's for real. [gestures for Marshall to turn] We have a desk set up for you.

Marshall

[turns] Syd!

Sydney

How are you?

Marshall

I'm fine, except every few moments I fight the urge to weep openly. But that's normal, right?

Vaughn

You said everyone in the radius was affected, even people who were taking cover?

Marshall

Yeah. Well, there's no defense against this kind of energy. It goes through walls, concrete, steel, everything.

Kendall

There's no shield.

Marshall

No. Sorry. Oh, um, I should probably also tell you that, um, this kind of energy knocks out computer circuitry. Which means if it's pointed at the sky, it could take down planes.

Marshall

Now as far as our technology can detect - and these are next gen tests, as high-end as it gets - he's not lyin', folks.

Sydney

If there's someone who can fool those tests, it's Sloane.

Marshall

Yeah, well, in theory, yes. But in practice, he'd really have to be using the next gen's next gen lie detector defeating tech, which frankly, even I can't imagine.

Marshall

I don't know if you've noticed, but, uh…I'm not that smooth around the ladies, well, in fact, I'm a little awkward. Well, I mean, let's face it: You got the looks and I got the brains, but look, I wanted to propose to Carrie, so I came up with an idea, and I was hoping you could give me some objective feedback.

Vaughn

I got the looks, you got the brains!?

Sydney

Can you locate the cube?

Marshall

Well, no, not exactly, but I can narrow it down to a ten-yard radius.

Sydney

Marshall, that's called locating it.

I want us to be to married before the baby is born.

Weiss

What? We haven't got a minister!

Marshall

It's okay! I can ordain you over the Internet.

Weiss

By the power invested in me by the, er, United Church of... Mammals, I now pronounce you man and wife.

Marshall

I love you Mrs. Flinkman.

I'm keeping my name.

Marshall

Okay.

Jack

Actually, Ryan alerted local authorities, gave them time to evacuate the building.

Weiss

So he's a humanitarian bomber?

Vaughn

He wanted the bomb squad called in?

Marshall

Well, maybe because he knew there was nothing they could do.

Marshall

I enhanced the audio, and it turns out our friend Mr. Sark made a phone call.

Sark

[on recording] Notify the extraction team. I should be at the LZ on schedule. Do we have the hostages? ... Excellent ... Not if I see you first, love.

Sydney

Are we sure he'll have his computer with him?

Marshall

Does a cowboy leave his gun at home when he goes to the saloon? Trust me, he'll have it.

I want you.

Marshall

C-Come again?

To work for me.
