Alias

(Vaughn's making small talk on his date with Sydney, Weiss meanwhile surveils the date) Weiss: (through Vaughn's ear piece) Your story's a disaster, tell her she's pretty.

Sydney: There are many things I hate about Arvin Sloane, but the one I hate the most is the way he wraps his criminal activities in the flag.

Weiss: Have you given any thought to the fact that maybe all that work was done because of the way you guys feel about each other? (Pause) How's that for spin? Vaughn: It's not bad.

(Weiss has just prompted Vaughn to finally ask Sydney out on a date while on a mission in Nice) Weiss: And? Vaughn: We're going to dinner. (Weiss breaks into a celebratory dance) Vaughn: I'm going to keep my com channel open. I need you to monitor the RF frequency. Weiss: Got it. Okay, in exchange I'll take an eclair. Vaughn: No, I'm serious, any suspect signal and I want to know about it. Anything. Weiss: If they're small, bring at least two!

Weiss: You sure you don't want to talk about this? Vaughn: There's nothing to talk about. Weiss: I share my fights with you. Vaughn: No you don't. Weiss: Yeah I do. Remember when Alan pissed in the living room? Vaughn: That was your dog! Weiss: Yeah, but I was angry about it and I let you know how upset I was. Vaughn: I appreciate you trying to cheer me up, you don't have to do that. Weiss: Okay, here's a thought: tell her how you feel (Vaughn gives Weiss a stare) I know, I know, I was the one who said, this is the line you don't cross... but that was before I nearly died, and you know what they say about the white light and all that? No. They're wrong, it's darkness (Vaughn gives Weiss another stare) darkness!

Vaughn: The nearest Alliance cell is in Zurich. The CIA tracks SD-6 security section. There haven't been any signals, no movement. Sydney: You're serious. Vaughn: We've been to restaurants and sat near each other. We've met in parks and convenience stores, and all of them in L.A. where we are much more likely to be seen. Look, two things -- one, I think it's not that great a risk and two, I am hungry. I'm starving. I mean, we're going to be together anyway, why can't we be eating? Aren't you hungry? Sydney: Yeah, I'm hungry. (Pauses) Let's do it.

Vaughn: Involving you had no upside. Sydney: There's no upside to keeping me informed? You didn't tell me about Manolo or that you had discussions with my mother! You didn't even tell me that you were seeing Alice again! Vaughn: Wait. What is this about? Sydney: This is about me being too old to be coddled!

Sydney: How long have you known about this? Jack: I didn't tell you because it didn't concern you! Sydney: If the Alliance thinks you're lying to them, they'll kill you. That concerns me! Jack: What concerns me is having them suspect that you're my accomplice. That's why I've kept you out of it.

(Jack and Irina discuss the calls Sloane's being getting) Irina: There must be dozens of ways to blackmail The Alliance, all of them far less elaborate than this one. Jack: So we can assume a secondary objective, was to make Arvin suffer. Someone harboring an acute hatred... meaning it could be anyone.

Marshall: Actually, um, Mr. Sloane, I noticed you're not wearing the tie I gave you. (Sloane ignores his comment) Marshall: (faded smile) It's okay.
