(At Francie’s restaurant kick-off party)
Sydney: Where’d you find all these people?
Francie: Can you believe it? I invited 100 people, thinking that maybe 70 would show up-
Will: Well you said you were worried-
Francie: He tells his entire A.A. meeting.
Will: They’re good people-
Francie: I’m sure they’re fantastic, but we make 90% of our profits from the bar - they don’t drink! (edit) (Vaughn interrogates De Souza)
Vaughn: This is not a good time to be a terrorist Manolo, a couple of years ago you would’ve had some civil rights, now we just through you in a cell, no due process. (edit) Will: I have this new friend of mine in my work detail: Tommy Marijuana. We call him Tommy Marijuana, because there’s Tommy Marijuana and Tommy Crystalmeth. (edit) SD-6 Agent: There are no fingerprints on the glass. The wine is a '99 Hadley Cabernet Franc, unremarkable vintage. What is remarkable is what I extracted from inside the wine. I was so surprised I redid the test but I'm certain. It's VTX, a calcium-based anitdote. Extremely scarce.
Sloane: Antidote to what?
SD-6 Agent: Uh, mainly heart attack inducing toxins. Kertotic acid, um, sodium morphate. VTX simulates death, it slows the lungs, nearly stops the heart, which is how it prevents the poisons from causing cardiac arrest. And then the VTX is, uh, is metabolized. The, uh, body, it returns to normal. (edit) Kerr: Agent Bristow, I've seen your profile. Your spatial intelligence is stellar. It's no surprise that you can solve the puzzle.
Sydney: But I wasn't solving it. When I was standing there, staring at the puzzle, it was like I remembered where every piece belonged. There wasn't any thought involved. You said the KGB developed a similar project, it's possible that my mother new the techniques and maybe she -
Kerr: Agent Bristow. If you are looking to uncover a trauma then I need to warn you. Hypnotic regression can trigger severe nightmares, flashbacks, acute depression -
Sydney: Understand that to do what I do, maintain my cover at SD-6, I compartmentalize a lot. But the idea that I might have been programmed to be a spy... I can't tuck that away. I need to know what happened to me. (edit)

Goof: When Sloane steps out of the shower to see the wine glass and looks in the mirror to re-adjust his towel. His man-thong to make it look like he was naked is clearly seen.

(edit) Number 47: When Sydney is giving the IP address to the CIA, she opens port 47. (edit) Sydney hacks into a server with the IP address "199.181.134.104". The hostname for this IP address is "alias1.starwave.com". (edit) Goof: When Sidney traveled to Budapest, she left her car in front of the Parliament building. In this episode there is a red star on the Parliament building. The red star hasn't been on the Parliament building since 1989, when communism failed in Hungary, and the building has since been renovated. So that scene is a bad montage with Sidney (in 2002) and the Parliament building (before 1989). (edit)
