Quotes 

• Sydney : Dad, can I ask you something? When you started with SD-6, you knew that they were a mercenary group and that they had no connection with the C.I.A. But I didn't. When I joined, I thought I was going to be saving the world and not making it more dangerous.

  Jack Bristow : What's the question?

  Sydney : Why didn't you say something? I mean, you could have told me what I was really doing - damage instead of good - but you kept quiet.

  Jack Bristow : [sighs]  Revealing the truth about what you were doing would have required revealing the truth about what I was doing.

• Sydney : It took me a second to realize what you were doing.

  Jack Bristow : I was blinking as fast as I could.

  Sydney : I know. I was like, "Hard on your light"?

  Jack Bristow : Guard on your right.

  Sydney : Well, I figured it out. I was just never very good at Morse code.

• Jack Bristow : [to Sydney]  Those cyrillic codes you found in those books - yes, they were orders from the KGB and yes, they were orders to kill. An agent recieved those orders and carried them out, murdering officers of the C.I.A., including your father, Mr. Vaughn. All this is true. But, Sydney, I was not that agent. Your mother was.
