- Sydney Bristow: You know, peach isn't really in this season.
- Michael Vaughn: I heard peach was the new green.
- Sydney Bristow: I thought beige was the new green.
- Michael Vaughn: No beige is the new peach.
- Sydney Bristow: Okay.
- 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...
- Sydney Bristow: Why did the NSC want me in on this?
- Lauren Reed: I wanted you... Michael said you were the best.
- 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.
- Michael Vaughn: I'm losing the signal.
- Eric Weiss: I'm aiming the mike right at her.
- Michael Vaughn: I should have worn the ring.
- Eric Weiss: Get over yourself. No one aims the mike like I do.
- Eric Weiss: It's not an alias she's ever used with us before.
- Michael Vaughn: There's no mention of a Julia in her SD-6 files.
- Eric Weiss: Right. Which means, last two years, when she was supposedly being held by the Covenant...
- Michael Vaughn: What? You think she was operational?
- Arvin Sloane: [to Lauren] I must admit, I was concerned for you when Sydney resurfaced. I remembered seeing her with Vaughn: their relationship reminded me my own with my late wife. It was the kind of bond that even death cannot sever. Hmmm. Well, apparently I misjudged.
- Eric Weiss: [talking with Vaughn about Sydney] What ever she just did, man, she's good. She is really good.
- Michael Vaughn: I've never worked with anyone who can improvise better than you can... but when Simon called you Julia... your reaction... You didn't seem surprised.
- Sydney Bristow: Vaughn...
- Michael Vaughn: No. Tell me what's going on. Look, I know we're not where we were, but even before then, professionally, we never kept secrets from each other. I'm still on your side...
- Sydney Bristow: You're right, we're not where we were. And trust me when I tell you, I am doing you a favor by keeping you out of it.
- Sydney Bristow: I can't afford to make a distinction between professional and personal... not in my life. I mean, this job took two years from me. Everything is personal.
- Marshall Flinkman: [holding a machine that could reveal the sex of his baby] You know, I could find out right now.
- Carrie Bowman: Touch me with that thing and you die.
- 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.
- Simon Walker: Tell me who the hell you're working for!
- Sydney Bristow: I'm working for myself, you son of a bitch!
- Lauren Reed: What about my father?
- Arvin Sloane: Well, he knew how badly you wanted to become field rated, and he thought it was too dangerous, so he made sure it didn't happen. But you knew that... didn't you?
- 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.
