Alias quotes

Sydney

Do you recognize me?

No.

Sydney

Four months ago, you murdered a man, Michael Vaughn. Do you remember? I do. I was there. It'll be burned into my memory for the rest of my life as the day my child lost its father... So you can imagine what I'd like to do to you. Lucky for you, there's someone I want even more. Tell me where I can find Gordon Dean.

Is this whole routine supposed to scare me? I–I do this for a living.

Sydney

It's a funny thing about pregnancy – hormones. Whoo. I woke up today... [she gives Curtis a dark, threatening look] ...feeling pretty hormonal.

Marshall

Take a look right there. See? That - those vials? That's a nerve agent called Substance 33; it was developed by the Russians during the Cold War - remarkable stuff. You know, in an... end of... civilization... sort of way.

Sydney

You're scared. You should be. No one is coming to rescue you.

Rachel

I am an operative for the U.S. Government, so unless you want to start a war with the CIA, I would suggest–

Sydney

Here's your next problem, Rachel: we're CIA.

Rachel

Well, then this must be some ... big misunderstanding. If you're CIA, we're on the same side.

Sydney

[to Grace] Call Langley and verify her story.

Rachel

You can't. We're off-book, black ops. Langley won't verify us.

Sydney

Well, that's convenient.

Sydney

[to Rachel] I want to tell you a story. Just stop me if I get something wrong. You were approached in college, someplace public – the quad or walking to class. A man asked you if you wanted to serve your country. When he told you it was for the CIA, you just, you couldn't believe it. But you took the tests, and they were easy for you; they made you feel good about yourself. You probably started work at a false front, some phantom company that had you doing entry-level analysis... Maybe you wondered why you were never sent to Langley. Maybe you wondered why you weren't being trained with other recruits. Then you got promoted.

Sydney

Dean took you under his wing. He convinced you that you were so important, you just had to be out there, helping him save the world. How am I doing?

Rachel

You read my file.

Sydney

No, I didn't. Thirteen years ago, the same thing happened to me. Only I had been lied to. What I was told was the CIA was in reality a criminal organization. I think you've been told the same lie.

They're ready for us. We got to go.

Rachel

Do you want to come over here and do the advanced binomial calculus? Because I'd be more than happy to stand there and watch.

Rachel

How can you people sleep after something like this?

Sydney

You just learn to take it where you can get it, I guess.

Jack

You seem to be enjoying your freedom.

Sloane

I was hoping to offer you more than prison food.

Jack

I must confess I'd grown rather fond of the shepherd's pie... I'm assuming you didn't bring me here simply for the cuisine.

You okay?

Rachel

If by "okay" you mean "freaked and embarrassed," then yeah, I'm great.

You should've given me the disk!

Rachel

You were gonna kill me anyway.

Yeah... but I woulda felt bad about it. Now it's gonna be fun.

Sydney

He suspects it's an access key for a secure network.

Rachel

So, we just have to find out which network. Well, luckily there are only ten billion secure networks in the world.

Rachel

Eating dirt. I just hit him with a shovel.

Sydney

A shovel? Is he conscious?

Rachel

Yeah, I think so.

Sydney

Then hit him again.

There are a few more things we need you to do for us.

Sloane

We have a deal.

No. We have an arrangement, which you don't seem to understand very well.

Sloane

You son of a bitch.

I'll be in touch. Til then, I want you to remember one thing: you have something now that you didn't have this morning.

Sloane

What's that?

Hope.

What you're asking me to do - to investigate my own agency - that's treason.

Jack

What's a little treason among old friends?

Marshall

Sounds awesome!

Marshall

Well, Brazil. Isn't that, you know, the place where they have the, um, string... what are they called, not bikinis but, um--

Jack

Thongs.

Marshall

Yes.
