- Sydney Bristow: [after getting a call] I have to go in.
- Michael Vaughn: Of course you do, it's your day off.
- Sydney Bristow: Weiss, have you seen Vaughn?
- Eric Weiss: That's all I am to you... just a conduit to Vaughn. Have you ever seen Vaughn and said "Hey, where's Weiss?"
- Michael 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 Bristow: This isn't about loyalty. I never said anything about loyalty.
- Michael Vaughn: When you ask me if I'm keeping secrets, the suggestion's pretty clear.
- Sydney Bristow: And you know what? Secrets will be a problem between us. After everything we've been through, you should know that.
- Jack Bristow: Sloane doesn't know that you're in CIA custody.
- Irina Derevko: He thinks I'm in hiding, as he is.
- Jack Bristow: If Sloane believes you've surfaced, obtained the manuscript he's after, he'll want to meet with you. Negotiate a purchase.
- Sydney Bristow: What is this about? I'd appreciate a little context here. You haven't even given me your name.
- Counter Intelligence Analyst Mitchell Yaeger: 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 pursued contact with Mr. Pograski, who happens to be a former KGB assassin known to have ties with at least three terrorist organizations.
- Jack Bristow: We may never have a better chance to get Sloane. Remember, without Irina's help, the operation in Kashmir would have been an embarrassment.
- F.B.I. Asst. Director Kendall: Jack, when the hell did we switch places? Derevko could be using this operation just to convince us that she's trustworthy.
- Jack Bristow: 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.
- Sydney Bristow: Listen to me, there is not a chance that he is a traitor, that he would be collaborating with an enemy.
- Counter Intelligence Analyst Mitchell Yaeger: 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.
- Irina Derevko: 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 Bristow: 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 Derevko: 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 Bristow: I had something neither of you did.
- Irina Derevko: Sydney.
- Michael Vaughn: Well, 'cause it's common, you know, to dream about work, have anxiety over keeping it secret. Especially in the beginning.
- Will Tippin: Really.
- Michael Vaughn: Goes away though.
- Will Tippin: What, the excitement?
- Michael Vaughn: No. The dreams.
- Sydney Bristow: Ask yourself, "Would you betray someone you love?"
- Counter Intelligence Analyst Mitchell Yaeger: Well I guess we have an answer to the intimacy question.
- F.B.I. Asst. Director Kendall: Jack, you make this happen, you can have my job.
- Jack Bristow: No, thanks
- Sydney Bristow: Do you think there's a chance you'll get Sloane?
- Irina Derevko: 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.
- Irina Derevko: There's one thing. The tracker you put in my shoulder.
- Jack Bristow: You want it removed.
- Irina Derevko: If they discover I've been tagged, it's over. We both know that.
- Sydney Bristow: Research? What kind of research?
- Michael Vaughn: It's something private. Something just for me.
- Sydney Bristow: Who do you think you work for? Nothing is private. You're being investigated.
- Francie Calfo: [Allison has hypnotized Will] Now I'm going to count back from five, and when you wake up, you will remember nothing of this conversation. All you will remember is that you had the best sex of your life.
- Michael Vaughn: 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 Bristow: And did you find anything?
- Michael Vaughn: Nothing. She's clean.
- Irina Derevko: We need to be up early.
- [pause]
- Irina Derevko: We should get to bed.
- Jack Bristow: Yeah we should.
- [they kiss]
