Quotes

add »
(Sydney's off to a meet with Anna Espinoza)
Jack: This is a surveillance, not a boxing match, can I trust you to maintain your professionalism?
Sydney: She brings out the worst of me, but yes of course. (edit)
(Anna Espinoza has abducted Nadia)
Sloane: She won't kill her, it's not her destiny.
Sydney: Please tell me this isn't about what I think it is.
Sloane: If you had faith, you would know what I know.
Sydeny: Faith in a XV century lunatic (turns to Jack) Dad, please tell me Rambaldi is not dictating procedures. (edit)
(Weiss has been on a date with Nadia)
Vaughn: She compared you to ice cream?
Weiss: Vanilla swiss almond, which is really a significant flavour.
Vaughn: I'm not saying it's not.
Weiss: And then she says that I'm a big spoonful.
Vaughn: Yeah, which you took as a compliment. (edit)
Sark: Gentlemen. Were you expecting a bigger party?
Vaughn: This isn't CRF headquarters.
Sark: You're a genius.
Vaughn: Where are we?
Sark: Nowhere. In particular. And that's the truth. Just a nice place for a chat. Really, Michael. Don't look so shocked. You couldn't have had such low expectations of me. Now with regards to your previous request. I will help you locate CRF leadership. But as always, you must do something for me in return.
Vaughn: Why the charade? If you were going to cooperate why run at all?
Sark: For the bubbly, of course (edit)
Sloane: Come on, Sydney...you know of Anna's beliefs. You know the lengths she'll go to see them realized.
Sydney: You wanna talk about beliefs!? This is something you wanna discuss? From where I'm standing, it was your mad obsession with Rambaldi that dragged both me and Nadia into this endless pit of confusion. So, given that, let me ask you: What is it you believe? (edit)

Trivia

add »
The symbolism of the Mark of Rambaldi is explained. (edit)
Sydney tells Nadia about the time she and Anna met in the stadium in "Parity." (edit)
Goof:
Marshall must be kidding when he suggests to order food into the top secret black ops division of CIA which supposedly doesn't exist and which is located at the far end of an underground station. Yet, they got their Chinese somehow. (edit)
Sydney says Espinosa was a Soviet agent raised in Cuba. That's the opposite of what was said in "Parity" when Anna first appeared. There it was said she was born in Cuba and raised in Russia. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Marshal: Why is everybody picking on me, seriously. It's hard work.
Making fun of George Bush and his "It's hard work" line he likes to use in his speeches. Anyone who has seen the SNL skits will understand. (edit)
Visual: Sydney ripping her dress off.
Sydney's impromptu transformation into a hooker echoes Jamie Lee Curtis' scene in True Lies. (edit)
