Lauren and Sydney in “Repercussions”

Lauren

I don't know about you, but I can't work to the best of my abilities while wondering whether or not I'm being polite enough to my husband's ex-girlfriend.

Sydney

You don't need to be polite with me. We're both past formalities.

Lauren

Then I'll be blunt. I want you to request a transfer to another field office.

Sydney

I know we're being blunt, but was that a threat? You don't have the authority to have me transferred.

Lauren

The NSC will support me, when they learn that our working together is compromising their fight against the Covenant.
