Greg Grunberg: Eric Weiss

Quotes 

• Eric Weiss : Did you ever stop to think that the reason you and Sydney work so well together is because of the feelings you have for each other?

  [pause] 

  Eric Weiss : How's that for spin?

  Michael Vaughn : Pretty good.

• Eric Weiss : [Weiss has just prompted Vaughn to finally ask Sydney out on a date while on a mission in Nice]  And?

  Michael Vaughn : We're going to dinner.

  [Weiss breaks into a celebratory dance] 

  Michael Vaughn : I'm going to keep my comm channel open. I need you to monitor the RF frequency.

  Eric Weiss : Got it. Okay, in exchange I get an eclair.

  Michael Vaughn : No, I'm serious, any suspect signal and I want to know about it. Anything.

  Eric Weiss : If they're small, bring at least two!

• Michael Vaughn : I appreciate you trying to cheer me up, but you don't have to do that.

  Eric Weiss : Alright; here's a thought, tell her how you feel.

  [Vaughn rolls his eyes at Weiss] 

  Eric Weiss : I know, I know; I was the one who said this is a line you don't cross. But, that was before I nearly died. And you know what they say about the white light and all that? No... Their wrong... Its darkness...

  [Vaughn rolls his eyes again] 

  Eric Weiss : Darkness!

  Michael Vaughn : I understand.

• Eric Weiss : Hey, you sure you don't want to talk about this?

  Michael Vaughn : There's nothing to talk about.

  Eric Weiss : I share my fights with you.

  Michael Vaughn : No you don't.

  Eric Weiss : Yeah I do. Remember when Alan pissed in the living room?

  Michael Vaughn : That was your dog!

  Eric Weiss : Yeah, but I was angry about it and I let you know how upset I was.

• Sydney Bristow : So I heard you on the phone with base ops; your code name is Boy Scout?

  Michael Vaughn : [Vaughn laughs]  Yeah...

  Sydney Bristow : Why?

  Michael Vaughn : Um... it goes back to CST, Clandestine Service Training. You don't want to hear this...

  Sydney Bristow : Vaughn...

  Michael Vaughn : Okay, the boy scouts have a motto...

  Sydney Bristow : Always be prepared...

  Michael Vaughn : Well, on my first day I showed up and I forgot my field manual. So the instructor said, that is your one screw up, from then on you better be prepared!

  Eric Weiss : [Over coms to Vaughn only, Vaughn signals to his ear for Sydney]  This story is a disaster! Just tell her she's pretty. Are you an idiot?

  Michael Vaughn : [Over Coms]  Look, I'm going to turn you off now, goodbye!

  [Vaughn removes his earpiece] 

  Michael Vaughn : Sorry!
