(Will dreams he tells Francie about Sydney and the CIA)
Vaughn: It's common to dream about work, have anxiety over keeping it a secret, especially in the beginning.
Will: Really?
Vaughn: Yeah, but don't worry, it goes away after a while.
Will: The excitement?
Vaughn: No, the dreams.
-
Vaughn: (about Irina) I had to find out if she was deceiving us again. I mean, I could not sleep at night knowing I was doing nothing. That somehow, I was helping her.
Sydney: And did you find anything?
Vaughn: Nothing. She's clean.
-
Irina: There's one thing. The tracker you put in my shoulder.
Jack: You want it removed?
Irina: If they discover I've been tagged, it's over. We both know that.
-
Sydney: Do you think there's a chance you'll get Sloane?
Irina: I wanted to see you because... it's going to be dangerous, setting this trap. I hope it goes well but there's no guarantee. So whatever happens, there's something I need you to know. Sydney, I love you.
-
Vaughn: Look, there is something you don't know about me. I don't like it when people question my loyalty. It makes me insane.
Sydney: This isn't about loyalty. I never said anything about loyalty.
Vaughn: When you ask me if I'm keeping secrets, the suggestion's pretty clear.
Sydney: And you know what? Secrets will be a problem between us. After everything we've been through, you should know that.

(CIA counter-intelligence is investigating Vaughn)
Sydney (about Vaughn): Listen to me, there is not a chance that he is a traitor, that he would be collaborating with an enemy.
Yeager: You know, I knew your mother. About twenty years ago, met her with your father. We used to go to a lot of these agency functions, you know. She was, uh, charming. Very disarming woman... who wasn't what she seemed.
Sydney: It's a mistake Mr. Yeager to confuse Michael Vaughn with anything regarding my mother.
Yeager: She killed his father.
Sydney: I will not spy on Michael Vaughn.
Yeager: Ms. Bristow what is your priority? National security? Or your new boyfriend?
-
Sydney: What is this about? I'd appreciate a little context here. You haven't even given me your name.
Yeager: I'm Mitchell Yeager, I'm counter-intelligence threat analyst. That should give you a little context. I've been sent here to investigate Michael Vaughn. It's come to our attention that over the past three months, Mr. Vaughn has been in contact with a number of unapproved foreign operatives. He's also actively pursuing contact with Mr. Pograski, who happens to be a former KGB assassin known to have ties with at least three terrorist organizations.
-
Jack: Sloane doesn't know that you're in CIA custody.
Irina: He thinks I'm in hiding, as he is.
Jack: If Sloane believes you've surfaced, obtained the manuscript he's after, he'll want to meet with you. Negotiate a purchase.
-
Francie: Good. I'm gonna count back from five. When you wake up you'll have no memory of this conversation, all you'll remember is that tonight, you had the best sex of your life. 5 4 3 2 1.
-
Sydney: Ask yourself, 'Would you betray someone you love?'
CIA Investigator: Well I guess we have an answer to the intimacy question.
-
Jack: (about Irina) I've had twenty years to reflect on that woman's ability to deceive. Trust me. If she lies to me again I'll know it.
-
Irina: I remember the first time you introduced me to Sloane. You were both working at the CIA, he came to the house for dinner. You were true friends.
Jack: Yes. We shared a similar unsentimental patriotism... and a devotion to our wives. But Sloane changed and... it was Rambaldi that did it. I'm not sure what it is - he never told me - but Sloane has a personal connection to Rambaldi.
Irina: I lived for years with the same obsession, to find a higher meaning in Rambaldi's work. I never understood how you managed to avoid getting caught up in it.
Jack: I had something neither of you did.
Irina: Sydney...
-
Kendall: Jack, you make this happen, you can have my job.
Jack: No, thanks.

(After getting a call)
Sydney: I have to go in.
Vaughn: Of course you do, it's your day off.
