Julian Sark quotes from Alias

Sark

[on the phone] It killed you, didn't it? Seeing him drop the gun for Sydney.

Lauren

No it isn't a good time. Can I call you in the morning?

Sark

He's there with you, is that it? Though he'd rather be with her. You know, it's quite a charade you two are engaged in.

Sark

Doesn't it bother you?

Vaughn

What's that?

Sark

A bombmaker arranges for a meeting on a plane and then doesn't show up. I don't know about you, but that concerns me.

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.

Sark

I'm afraid I'm going to need some insurance to guarantee I reach my extraction point safely. This collar contains a lethal cardiotoxin. Once I place this on your daughter, you'll have two minutes to disarm it before the compound is released into her system.

Dixon

You son of a bitch! That was not part of our agreement!

Sark

This mechanism is well within your disarming capabilities. Two minutes is generous, in my opinion.

Sark

Have you been made?

Lauren

[about Vaughn] Of course not. If he knew I was Covenant he would arrest me, not break up with me.

Sark

I'll ask you again: where is the Passenger?

Vaughn

Holding that thing ... you almost look like you've reached puberty.

Sark

I must say - your disguise, it addresses a certain proclivity of mine.

Lauren

If this works, I'll happily make your sick little fantasy come true.

Vaughn

[to Sark] I'm not gonna kill you. That would be too easy. But I'll leave you so disfigured that when you walk down the street people will pity you. Lauren is gonna pay for the damage she's done to the people I care about, not for having had an affair with you. I don't give a rat's ass who she's sleeping with. So for the last time: where is she?

Vaughn

Ready to talk?

Sark

Yes. When I first learned of your wife's true allegiance, I almost felt pity for you. How embarrassing it must've been to learn that the woman you shared your bed with was only using you as an unfortunate means to an end.

Vaughn

I wouldn't do this, if I were you.

Sark

But then, she wasn't sharing your bed lately, was she? She was in mine. Or in my car. Or the elevator. Or a garage. There is one time – this is my favourite – we were engaged in an alley and she called you to tell you she loved you. [Vaughn twists Sark's arm] That woman was deliciously filthy.

Vaughn

[to the guard] We're old friends.

Sark

Actually, given our shared intimacies with your late wife, I may even go so far as to say that we're family. Mr. Vaughn, your timing is impeccable. The last of my broken bones has finally healed and I sit before you a fresh canvas for your aggression. But before we begin whatever inquisition you're here for, there is a pesky question that's been lingering in my head. Do you mind?

Vaughn

Go ahead.

Sark

Was it the infidelity or the espionage that motivated you to kill the woman I loved?

Vaughn

The woman you loved?

Sark

Yes. Loved. You know, she once actually told me that she longed to love you... but the mundane existence you provided couldn't hold a candle to my passion.

Vaughn

That wasn't for sleeping with the woman I was married to. I couldn't care less about her.

Sark

Gentlemen. Were you expecting a bigger party?

Vaughn

This isn't CRF headquarters.

Sark

You're a genius.

Vaughn

Where are we?

Sark

Nowhere. In particular. And that's the truth. Just a nice place for a chat. Really, Michael. Don't look so shocked. You couldn't have had such low expectations of me. Now with regards to your previous request. I will help you locate CRF leadership. But as always, you must do something for me in return.

Vaughn

Why the charade? If you were going to cooperate why run at all?

Sark

For the bubbly, of course.

Vaughn

Does this make you feel better, watching this happen?

Sark

It gives me hope that I can still achieve closure.

Vaughn

Guys like you don't believe in closure. That would actually require you to care about something.

Sark

Perhaps that's true. Perhaps all I can hope for is a moment for us all to share. You, me, her. And letting go of all pretexts and subterfuge, we can finally admit the truth. Your wife loved me. Not even death can change that. Do it. Open it.

Vaughn

You want your moment? Take it.

Vaughn

Stop.

Sark

My agreement, Mr. Vaughn, allows for this. A perfect triangular pattern, consistent with CIA training. It was you. You did this.

Vaughn

Yes, I did.

Sark

I'll take you to CRF. But I want you to face what you did. I want you to look at her.

Sark

I gave you my word, Mr. Vaughn. Am I to take it that you don't trust me?

Vaughn

You're about to betray one of your former partners; it doesn't really instill faith in your loyalty.

Sark

My past infidelities are just that; mistakes I've learned from... repented for. I've become a trustworthy man.

Sark

Ah! You shot me!

Vaughn

Yeah and I'll keep shooting you until you either give me the codes or bleed to death. Your choice.
