- Michael Vaughn: [embarrassed] I don't know. I was in this store, you know, um... this little antique place
- Sydney Bristow: [big smile] What were you doing in an antique store?
- Michael Vaughn: I don't know.
- [laughs nervously]
- Michael Vaughn: Whatever. Um, look, if you don't like it just... don't tell me.
- Jack Bristow: Sydney, I heard about what happened. Are you alright?
- Sydney Bristow: I'm fine.
- Jack Bristow: Russek. That was a shock.
- Sydney Bristow: You didn't?
- Jack Bristow: What?
- Sydney Bristow: Have anything to do with that?
- Jack Bristow: What do you mean, did I engineer it, somehow? No, Sydney, of course not.
- Jack Bristow: I need you to tell me what's happening!
- SD-6 Agent: You didn't hear this from me.... While Sydney and Russek were in Geneva, a transmission was recorded from her location and it was not one of ours.
- Jack Bristow: You think it was Sydney?
- SD-6 Agent: This is not the first indication that she might be working for someone else.
- Arvin Sloane: For the past few weeks, you've been under suspicion. We knew we had a mole and there were signs that indicated that it was you. And then when you were in Geneva, we picked up a third-party transmission and it seemed to confirm that you betrayed SD-6. And what I just learned is that it wasn't your transmission. It was Russek's.
- Sydney Bristow: Russek...?
- Sydney Bristow: In the cell, when Russek was trying to get me to talk, I asked him questions about his interrogation. When he told me that they threatened to kill him, he was blinking at erratic intervals - a classic indication that he was lying. So, I didn't talk only because I knew he wasn't in any real danger. Either Sloane still thinks I'm the mole and is using me somehow...
- Sydney Bristow: Look, to you, my job might seem pointless and stupid but it's not. It's far from pointless and if you knew what I dealt with every day, you might even thank me for doing my job so well!
- Will Tippin: [confused] What the hell are you talking about?
- Sydney Bristow: Nothing. I'm going to work. I'll see you guys.
- Arvin Sloane: One night, this was years ago, maybe two years before you and I met. I just finished my first briefing in The White House. I was new to the CIA. After that meeting everyone got into a limousine to head back to Langley. But I didn't. I told them I was gonna walk for a while. They looked at me sort of a funny, I mean, it was a cold night. So I said I needed to get some air. But the truth is, I was overcome. Itdid accure to me as I was walking down on The White House steps that I was living in a perfect moment. Everything was filled with a promise: my role in CIA, my realationship with a wife that I had not yet met. Still, I could feel a darkness coming. So I wandered around for a while and ended up at The Jefferson Memorial, it was always my favorite one. Looked up across the basin : Lincoln right there. I didn't know how it would finally materialize: the darkness. I had nothing to base it on. It wasn't as if the C.I.A. had just betrayed me, that my wife had just been diagnosed with lymphoma. None of that had happened yet. So, whenever life takes an unfortunate turn, as it has this week, I just remind myself that I could see it coming all along.

- Sydney Bristow: I'm very sorry about the music.
- Severn Driscoll: Excuse me?
- Sydney Bristow: When I drink too much, I play my music too loudly. Last night, I drank too much.
- Severn Driscoll: I didn't hear any music last night.
- Sydney Bristow: That's impossible! You are the man from suite forty-seven?
- Severn Driscoll: No, I wish I were.
- [Sydney's been tortured for being the suspected mole; to the interrogator]
- Sydney Bristow: My name is Sydney Bristow, I've seen you in the office, I always wondered what you did... guess this is what you do.
- Marshall Flinkman: OK, this place you are going to is swanky. Hehe, like super swanky which is why I made you these puppies
- [holds sunglasses in his hands]
- Marshall Flinkman: . Now, not that they only take pictures silently and have telephoto lenses but they are also super swanky
- [puts them on]
- Marshall Flinkman: .
- Sydney Bristow: I'm sorry I was snippy with you about my job.
- Will Tippin: Oh, no. It's your job, you know. You are allowed to be.
- Sydney Bristow: I was a jerk. Sorry I was a jerk.
- [after Vaughn confronts him about Russek's transmission]
- Jack Bristow: Whoever the hell you think you are : checking up on me, pulling my file, second-guessing my choices, let's just both face the facts: you are not that person. Neither your experience nor your intelligence has earned you the right to question the thing that I do. So I'm gonna make two suggestions. One: that you stop it and two: that the next time they assigned you to be my handler, you kindly decline.
