Alias Season 2 Episode 2

Irina: (to Vaughn) I've given you a gift and all you get from me is one. (Vaughn starts to walk away.) You look just like him.

Sydney: SD-6 and the Alliance believe that my mother's in hiding. And they know that Khasinau is dead, and they're correct to assume that what's left of her organization is vulnerable. The Alliance wants whatever assets they can get their hands on.
Vaughn: So where are they starting?
Sydney: My mother used blackmail. Extensively. In running her operation, she would get dirt on people - powerful, important people - and coerce them into doing whatever she needed. Pornographic photographs, illegally obtained audio files, names, dates, they're all on one computer disk.

Irina: Trust me.
Sydney: Why should I do that?
Irina: Because I'm your mother.

(Sydney's on a mission and she's in trouble, Vaughn consults with Irina for a solution)
Sydney: Did you talk to my father about this?
Vaughn: 2 Minutes ago on the phone while we were waiting for you to go radio silent.
Sydney: And what did he say?
Vaughn: Your dad? (Flashback to Jack's car)
Jack: (on the phone, driving furiously) THE ANSWER IS NO!!!
Vaughn: All I'm saying is that you consider.
Jack: Consider the source!
Vaughn: I don't need to be lectured on what kind of a woman.
Jack: That woman is not to be trusted!
Vaughn: Jack, listen to me.
Jack: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE DISCUSS THIS WITH MY DAUGHTER!!!
(back to the Rotunda control room)
Vaughn: Respectfully Syd I don't think your father can think clearly where mother's concerned.
Sydney: And you can?
Vaughn: I'm trying...

Jack: (about Irina) Sydney, she is the enemy.
Sydney: And so is Sloane. And if the devil herself wants to help me bring him down, fine by me.

Vaughn: You're not the easiest guy to work with, are you?
Kendall: No. No, definitely not.

Francie: You know what I wanna do to the guy who introduced Will to heroin? I want to kill him. With my hands. I just want to kill him.
Jack: I can imagine.

Jack: (to Francie) You know, to the Vietnamese and Chinese, the color white means death and bad fortune. (pause) Try red.

Francie: Let me ask you a question. Let's say you're hanging out at your favorite restaurant, with your friends -- or whatever. You like to go there, you like the food, what color are the walls?
Jack: I'm... not really into interior decorating.

Sydney: Let's get something clear. You are not my mother. My mother was Laura Bristow. Laura Bristow died in a car accident twenty-one years ago. You are a traitor and a prisoner of the United States government. (Irina looks away) Look at me! We will interact only when necessary. You will address me as "Agent Bristow" and answer only the questions I ask. There will be no personal anecdotes, no comments about my job performance, no condolences or congratulations. Do you understand me?

Francie: I just need a liquor license.
Will: No, no, no, what you need is someone who knows how the system works. Someone who can help you navigate. What you need is me. You know, former drug addict reporter... and sometimes lobster impersonator.

Sydney: She told me to pull the alarm.
Jack: Yes, and for all you know, that could've made things worse. Sydney, you're smarter than this. Your mother wants you to think she's your ally. That she can help you get what you want. Her intel might even be accurate once, twice, but the minute you start depending on her, she will gut you.

Vaughn: I know you want to see your daughter. I can guarantee you that is never going to happen unless she knows you're cooperating. Prove yourself. Give Sydney a reason to see you.
Irina: "Sydney"? Interesting

Sydney: The idea that the CIA is willing to work with Irina Derevko is insane.
Jack: Worse, it's naive. Your mother didn't just conveniently turn herself in. This is all part of the manipulation.
Sydney: Well, she's their problem now. She's not yours. And she's not mine.(When putting on her jacket, she winces a little bit.)
Jack: You okay?
Sydney: My shoulder's healing, if that's what you mean.
Jack: It's not, actually.

Kendall: Just so we're clear, Mr. Vaughn, I know all about your participation in busting Agent Bristow out of federal custody. Convince her to talk to her mother, or face charges for obstructing justice and harboring a fugitive.
Vaughn: Guess it's two-for-one day on blackmail.

Sydney: (about Irina) I don't support the death penalty. But I hope she dies for all that she has done. I really do.

Dixon: You know, you always do that.
Sydney: What?
Dixon: What you just did with your hair. It's your thing.
Sydney: I don't have a thing!
Dixon: It is. It's your thing.

Vaughn: (about Sloane's wife death) Killing his wife wouldn't surprise me. Eating his wife wouldn't surprise me

Sydney: How's Weiss?
Vaughn: He's still in the hospital, but the doctors say he's gonna be okay. And until then, I've gotta feed his fish.

Vaughn: When she got done with my father, he could only be identified by his dental records.
