Marcus Dixon quotes from Alias

Dixon

Noah, I'll be straight with you. I don't trust you. Which wouldn't be such a problem, except that I'm an intelligence officer and if you stick around, sooner or later, my life is going to be in your hands and yours in mine. And in that scenario, the only person truly safe will be you.

Dixon

I speak nine languages. Techno is not one of them!

Dixon

The emotional toll this has taken and my current state of mind convince me I am no longer the best guarantee of her return. Therefore, I am stepping down temporarily as director of this task force until this matter is resolved. Jack, I trust you will stand in my stead and do everything in your power to bring my daughter back to me.

Dixon

Sloane is asking about Berlin. He thinks someone might have gotten to Schiller. He thinks he might be a plant. He wanted to know why you had me change the pick up to Koenig Strasse.

Sydney

I told you, I thought I was being followed.

Dixon

Syd, is there something I should know?

Sydney

No.

Sydney

How do I look?

Dixon

For the record, that's a question you never have to ask anyone.

Dixon

You okay?

Marshall

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

Dixon

How's it hanging, Syd?

Sydney

Very funny.

Excuse me. May I cut in?

Dixon

[Referring to Sydney] Of course. But I should warn you: she likes to lead.

Dixon

How am I supposed to know what you believe when you've been lying to me? I'm your partner!

Sydney

Just think about this for a minute. Just think about everything we've been through. Just think about who I am. Now, what I am going to ask you to do is just accept the fact that I cannot tell you what this is about. What I am doing is classified but Dixon... I swear to you that I am not betraying this country. I could never do that. You know that!

Dixon

I don't need rhetoric, Sydney. Right now, I need a reason not to report you to security section.

Dixon

How long have you known?

Sydney

Two years. I wanted to tell you so many times, but I was ordered not to. The CIA had no way to verify what I knew in my heart was true -- that you would never consider working for a man like Arvin Sloane.

Dixon

We were partners. You lied to me, then chose to tell me the truth when it was convenient for you. I never want to see you again.

Dixon

I'm out.

Vaughn

Sydney's in trouble.

Dixon

Respect my decision.

Vaughn

I can't do that. Not when your decision may cost Sydney her life. You wouldn't tell Sydney how you infiltrated Kabir's so she found an alternate way in using what turned out to be faulty intel. She was captured and unless we find another confirmed access point, no one will be sent in to get her out.

Sydney

My mother's earrings. They found a note she left. She wanted me to have them. Just now, when my dad was telling me, the first thought I had was that she was dead, that she'd been killed. I had this whole thing in my head that she died proving herself a hero.

Dixon

No one can be blamed for trusting their own mother.

Sydney

I wish she had been killed.

Vaughn

You're saying that five hundred years ago Rambaldi drew the DNA profile of a man who's alive today?

It gets even better. Di Regno's DNA profile was a code key. It let us decrypt page 94 of the Rambaldi manuscript.

Dixon

What's on the page?

Times and dates, each marking an apocalyptic event.

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!

Lauren

Under authority of the National Security Council, Robert Lindsey has instructed me to relieve you of duty as director of this task force until he arrives to assume control.

Dixon

On what grounds?

Lauren

Obstruction of justice. Willingly conspiring to impede an international investigation into the murder of Andrian Lazarey.

Lauren

These premises are to be locked down until Lindsey arrives with Federal Agents. That means, until such time, nobody leaves.

Dixon

I take it you have Sydney in custody.

Lauren

Not yet. But we know where she is.
