[to Lauren] I must admit, I was concerned for you when Sydney resurfaced. I remembered seeing her with Vaughn: their relationship reminded me of my own with my late wife. It was the kind of bond that even death cannot sever. Hmmm. Well, apparently I misjudged.
S3A Missing Link
I've never worked with anyone who can improvise better than you can . . . but when Simon called you Julia ... your reaction ... You didn't seem surprised.
Vaughn--
No. Tell me what's going on. Look, I know we're not where we were, but even before then, professionally, we never kept secrets from each other. I'm still on your side ...
You're right: we're not where we were. And trust me when I tell you, I am doing you a favor by keeping you out of it.
Vaughn's been quizzing me about "Julia." I tried shutting down his inquiry, but apparently something you said has made that impossible.
All I said was that I couldn't talk about it.
Which, of course, has only piqued his interest.
I can't afford to make a distinction between professional and personal - not in my life. I mean, this job took two years from me. Everything is personal.

Tell me who the hell you're working for!
I'm working for myself, you son of a bitch!
S3Repercussions
A member of Walker's team caught Michael; I still don't know how. Walker ID'd him as CIA --
-- and stabbed him and left him for dead. I already know all this. It's in the briefing. Thank you.
Lauren, that's not . . . Walker had a gun to Michael's head. He was about to pull the trigger. I took his knife . . . I stabbed him myself.
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.
You don't need to be polite with me. We're both past formalities.
Then I'll be blunt. I want you to request a transfer to another field office.
...
I know we're being blunt, but was that a threat? You don't have the authority to have me transferred.
The NSC will support me, when they learn that our working together is compromising their fight against the Covenant.
You've told Bomani you'd work for the Covenant?
Yes. And now I'm telling you that I'm in the position to be a double agent. Working for the Covenant but loyal to the CIA ...What is it, Sydney?
[in disbelief] This is classic ...
Now as far as our technology can detect - and these are next gen tests, as high-end as it gets - he's not lyin', folks.
If there's someone who can fool those tests, it's Sloane.
Yeah, well, in theory, yes. But in practice, he'd really have to be using the next gen's next gen lie detector defeating tech, which frankly, even I can't imagine.
Okay. Just so someone has said it: in the past two years, Sloane has obtained a pardon based mainly on the capture of a criminal who is now free. In addition, Sloane will be allowed to openly participate in Covenant activities, based on the promise that he will inform us of those activities. One could argue that he's just pulled off the con job of the century.
It also appears that Bomani will kill Sloane if we interfere with his plans.
And who here would lose sleep over that?
S3The Nemesis
I miss LA. I miss Emily. I miss the friendship with your father. [sighs] I miss your confidence and trust. Perhaps, I can get it back someday?
You will never have my confidence and trust ... or my father's friendship and respect ... ever.
It's been three weeks since I learned that Sydney murdered Lazarey ... I've been lying to my wife for three weeks.
Vaughn, I know guys who've lied to their wives for a lot longer than that.
You understand that the reason your brother didn't like talking to you is because you say stupid things, right?
Sydney, I was very pleased when Dixon said you'd agreed to be my handler.
It was an assignment, not an agreement - the way a janitor doesn't agree to clean a toilet. But as your handler, you'll do as I say, when I say it. I select your assignments; I design your missions. I control you, not the other way around.
Is that what you used to let Vaughn do? Control you?
...
You will set up a meeting with Sark and Allison. You'll explain to them that their travel plans have been compromised. You'll then offer them assistance in revising their arrangements.
And pass the information along to you.
That won't be necessary. You'll be wearing a wire.
And if they discover that it's a setup?
Then I get to hear them kill you.
I don't know if you've noticed, but, uh…I'm not that smooth around the ladies, well, in fact, I'm a little awkward. Well, I mean, let's face it: You got the looks and I got the brains, but look, I wanted to propose to Carrie, so I came up with an idea, and I was hoping you could give me some objective feedback.
I got the looks, you got the brains!?
This is why people from the CIA should not get married to people from the NSC, man. Don't poop where you sleep...
Thanks a lot.
