Will Tippin quotes from Alias

Will

This is an article I've written. Abby, you've got to do this for me. Make sure you keep it sealed, and don't mention this to anyone. And you got to promise me you're not going to open it, unless something happens to me. And if something happens to me, you got to publish it.

Will

[whispering, leaving a message for Syd] Sydney, it's me. Listen, this is going to sound insane but I just found Provacillium in the bathroom and I think that... I think that... uh, okay, just think about it. I think that the double is Franc-

Will

I thought if I had the chance, ending her life would be satisfying. You know, there'd be closure ... It's just as empty as the dreams. It's horrible. There's no ... satisfaction. There's nothing.

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.

Francie

So, what's going on with work? You always talk about work and you haven't even mentioned it today.

Will

I wasn't working on a S.A.T. story. When I bumped into you guys? There is no S.A.T. story. I was trying to track down a woman named Kate Jones. She was supposed to be seated next to Danny on a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong.

Will

[Reading from a book] "Laura, all my love, forever and a day. Jack." That's not, like, your dad Jack, is it?

Sydney

Yeah.

Will

Wow. That's uncharacteristically sweet of him.

Sydney

I know. He actually has a heart, which I'm learning little by little.

And on the eve of your first front-page story, you suddenly get cold feet.

Will

What are you saying? What are you saying? I made this whole thing up? Look, I swear to God, the only reason I didn't want this story to run is 'cause I don't want to hurt Sydney Bristow. That's it.

You're a talented writer, Will, but I promise you, if anything like this happens again the only thing you'll be inventing are facts on your résumé.

Will

Okay, okay, whatever, it sucks, all right? But it's why I wanted to become a reporter. I saw this when I was a kid and I loved it. And I was just like, I don't know, all the quick...

Francie

Repartee.

Will

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it just looked fun. You know, being a reporter looked fun. But it's not. It's not fun. It's a pain in the ass.

[On the phone] You have questions about Kate Jones. How far are you willing to go, Mr. Tippin? I need to hear the words "I'm ready."

Will

Why? Why? Could my life be in danger?

Say the words.

Will

Yeah, I'm in. I'm ready.

Sydney

Look, to you, my job might seem pointless and stupid but it's not. It's far from pointless and if you knew what I dealt with every day, you might even thank me for doing my job so well!

Will

[Confused] What the hell are you talking about?

Sydney

Nothing. I'm going to work. I'll see you guys.

Will

[about his hickey] It's very embarrassing.

Sydney

The fact that I saw it or just that it's there at all?

Will

No, look at it. I feel like I'm 15 years old.

Sydney

That's about the age of your intern.

Will

When I said 15, I knew you would say --

Sydney

Did the Clinton administration teach you nothing?

Will

Sydney tells me you're doing analysis for the bank.

Jack

Strategy. Investment strategy. Arvin made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Oh, that sounds like my husband!

Jack

You're going to tell your contact you want a meeting. A meeting to take place at your contact's discretion.

Will

Why would he lead me to you knowing that you'd want to flush him out?

Jack

He only told you my name so you would realize that my threat to you was a bluff. That I would never hurt Sydney, even if you continue your investigation. He didn't expect you'd have the guts to contact me.

Will

Oh, well, I'll assume that's a compliment.

Jack

The only way SD-6 will let you live is if you destroy the life you've got.

Will

I understand that, but you can't think of another way than this?

Jack

Yes, I can think of a number of other ways. But they all involve your burial.

Will

Is that your idea of a joke? You're morbid, Jack.

Will

Well, I've got four weeks left of community service and then I'm done. Hey, um, you remember last week when I cooperated and let the CIA hypnotize me?

Sydney

Yeah.

Will

What happened with that? I mean, was I helpful at all? And I'm only asking because about five minutes ago I was doing pretty well as a reporter, you know, and now I'm a dishwasher living in denial. That's all.

Sydney

The information you provided was huge.
