Alias

(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 N.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!

(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 attorney, no due process.

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.

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 antidote. 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 when the VTX is, uh, is metabolized. The, uh, body, it returns to normal.

Kerr: Agent Bristow, I've seen your profile. Your spatial intelligence is stellar. It's...It's no surprise that you can solve the puzzle. Sydney: But I wasn't solving it. When I was standing there, staring at that 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.

Vaughn: I saw de Souza. He told me that you hired him to rig those explosives. Jack: Irina Derevko would eagerly destroy all of our lives. Vaughn: I'm not a big fan, either. It still doesn't justify what you did. Jack: You do good work, Agent Vaughn. But your consistent shortcoming - you should know this - is your naive sense of morality. Evil must be eliminated by whatever means necessary.

Kerr: We had no idea that the sixteen Next Generation weapons would turn out to be children. Sydney: They were being trained as sleeper agents? Kerr: That appears to be the case. See, the best spies have certain traits: proficiency with numbers, three dimensional thinking, creative problem solving. These abilities are all in evidence as early as five years old.

Jack: Sydney, Washington has made a decision regarding your mother. What she did to you invalidated her agreement with the CIA. The government is pressing charges. They're going to seek the death penalty.

Vaughn: I don't see why you're denying this possibility! Sydney: I understand that your authority has been superseded by my father and that maybe you feel irrelevant. But he saved our lives. Remember that! I won't wait to hear from you.

Vaughn: Okay. I'll confer with your father about your counter mission. Sydney: My father? Vaughn: He didn't tell you? Based on your father's instincts in the Madagascar incident, Devlin gave him operational approval.

Sloane: In his last communication to our sources in Vienna, Hater informed us that the triad was engaged in a plot to deploy and develop sixteen "Next Generation" weapons. Dixon: Any idea what "Next Generation" refers to? Sloane: No, which is a major source for concern. According to the communiqué, testing of the weapons is advancing ahead of schedule which means they may soon be put into the field.

Vaughn: The Triad? You never mentioned them before. Sydney: It's a loose coalition of organized crime entities. They deal in mainly drugs and prostitution, but over the past couple of years they've made a significant foray into weapons.

Sydney: I have this memory, when I was six years old. My mother had just died in a car accident. I felt so scared. You were never home, so who was going to take care of me? Then I overheard you talking. You were in your study on the phone. You were talking about Christmas, about me. You were taking care of my Christmas presents. Suddenly, I-I felt so safe. You were taking care of me. That memory's a lie. You weren't talking about that at all. Jack: Sydney. Sydney: I've seen the footage. Mom's briefings with her KGB handler. She was sent here for one specific purpose, to steal information from you about a project you were developing for the CIA. An operation to train children to be American spies. Project Christmas. Ever since Mom came back, you were afraid she'd figure out what you did to me. You weren't trying to protect me from her, you were trying to protect your secret. So the first opportunity you had, you set her up... in Madagascar. Jack: Sydney, understand something-- Sydney: No, Dad, you understand something. You took away my choices in life. You programmed me to be a spy. I will never forgive you for this.

Agent Craig: Listen I heard about Weiss, how's he doing? Vaughn: It was rough, but they say he's gonna be okay, which is more than I can say about the nursing staff.

Will: When I was in sixth grade, I was sort of anonymous. You know, you had the smart kid, and the funny kid, and the good athlete. And I was just Will.

Sydney: Sixth grade was an awkward phase for me. Will: Oh, come on. You, awkward? Sydney: Yeah. Big teeth and little eyes. And I always was a foot taller than everyone else so I sort of hunched over.
