Victor Garber: Jack Bristow

Quotes 

• Sydney Bristow : What do you mean? Look there, he's saying... he's saying "Jul" or "Julie"...

  Jack Bristow : He could be saying any number of things. Sydney, I have already subjected this video to the most intense technological scrutiny available to the CIA.

  Sydney Bristow : Maybe "Julia"...

  Jack Bristow : If you want me to do a re-analysis, fine, but you have to stop punishing yourself.

• Jack Bristow : [to Sydney]  When you compelled the NSC to release me from prison, you told me you'd done so because... you needed your father; that you needed my strength. Twelve months in solitary would have an effect on anyone; something that allowed me to stay focused was your... strength. Don't lose it now...

• Jack Bristow : We can assume what they've stolen is a precursor agent requiring further synthesis.

  Eric Weiss : Okay, does everyone here speak science?

  Marshall Flinkman : Yeah.

  Eric Weiss : No, Marshall, they don't.

• Sydney Bristow : I thought you said we need to keep this secret!

  Jack Bristow : Yes, from the NSC, which is what we've done.

  Sydney Bristow : You knew Dixon would order Vaughn to keep this from Lauren. If the NSC found out, I'd be pulled.

  Jack Bristow : In time, you would have come to the same conclusion.

  Sydney Bristow : Maybe, yes, but I wouldn't have acted on it. The last thing I want is to be responsible for driving a wedge between Vaughn and Lauren.

  Jack Bristow : That is a concern I do not share.

• Jack Bristow : Vaughn's been quizzing me about "Julia". I tried shutting down his inquiry, but apparently something you said has made that impossible.

  Sydney Bristow : All I said was that I couldn't talk about it.

  Jack Bristow : Which, of course, has only piqued his interest.
