Quotes

Vaughn: The thing is... I think I have a problem.
Dr. Nicholas: I know you're worried, but we ran every available diagnostic test for viral infections, everything that could be related to your exposure to the fluid inside the Rambaldi device. They all came back negative.
Vaughn: Yes, I know... Under my fingernails, there's blood.

Irina: I know what you did for me, proving Sydney's father betrayed her in Magadascar. I would have been executed for that. Thank you.
Vaughn: I didn't do it for you.
Irina: While that might be true, I owe you my life.
Vaughn: You owe me my father's life.

Irina: Tell me how you feel about my daughter.
Vaughn: That's none of your business.
Irina: Are you in love with her?
Vaughn: I don't know why that matters to you.
Irina: I don't have the advantage of observing casual behaviour. I'm curious.
Vaughn: Help me, and I'll tell you what you want to know.

Alice: Excuse me, did they tell you anything?
Sydney: No.
Alice: Paramedics called. 'What was his last meal? Is he allergic to any medication?' I got to the hospital as fast as I could. So you work with Michael?
Sydney: Yeah. We're in the same Bureau at the State. I'm Rita.
Alice: I'm Alice. [small smile] I'm... listed as his emergency contact. Um, I'm his girlfriend.
[Alice whispers an 'excuse me' and walks away crying. Sydney is surprised, to say the least.]

Kendall: Mountaineer, abort the op. Head back. We'll find another way to—
Sydney: Abort?! We don't have time to find something else!
Kendall: If you use the machine, they'll know you're there.
Sydney: Then I'll run fast.

Sark: You and I, we're destined to work together. I truly believe that.

Sark: I could use your help. I need access to Arvin Sloane.
Sydney: Why?
Sark: Because I intend to kill him.

Kendall: What exactly did you promise Sark?
Sydney: That I would find a way to render Arvin Sloane unconscious and deliver him to Sark.
Kendall: So he could kill him.
Sydney: Yes.
Kendrall: There are just so many problems with this that I don't even know where to begin.

Sydney: Tell me you agree with me. That we have no choice in this.
Jack: Of course, we have a choice. It's a moment I never wanted you to face. To kill someone. I'm not talking about self-defense. I'm talking about premeditated murder. To be there when the door closes on him for the last time, knowing you are responsible. That is something you never came close to considering before getting to know your mother.

Sydney: I'm approaching the building.
Sark: Good luck, Sydney.
Sydney: I don't need you to wish me luck, you son of a bitch.
Sark: [smiling] That's a wonderful attitude.

Sloane: God, I'm tense. No big surprise; I saw a man die yesterday. Do you understand?
Sydney: Gomen nasai, Eigo wakarimasen. (I'm sorry, I don't understand English.)
Sloane: Yeah. [sigh] He was in incredible pain, but it was the love he had for his wife that sustained him. I love my wife too. But I had to take action.
[Sydney stabs him with her hairpin, and he collapses.]
Sydney: Tasukete o kudasai! Haiaku!... ('Help, please! Quickly!', etc...)
Sark: You are so good. Do you know that? Send the ambulance.

Sloane: Sydney, good morning.
Sydney: [surprised] Good morning.
Sloane: You know Mr. Sark.
Sark: I don't think we've ever been officially introduced.

Vaughn: You asked me some questions. I told you I'd answer them if you helped me. You did help me. And I thank you for that.
Irina: I didn't do it for you.
Vaughn: I'm trying to live a normal life, which is always hard, given what I do. But it's gotten harder since I met your daughter. It's not that knowing her hasn't made my life better. It has. But it's also made it that much worse. I think I've said enough.
Irina: The problem, Mr. Vaughn, is that to the one person who matters, you haven't said anything.
Vaughn: Listen, this may not mean anything to you. This may not be something you can understand or appreciate, but we have rules. Very clear and important rules that govern the relationship between a handler and his asset.
Irina: And between a man and a woman?

Vaughn: I understand you met Alice.
Sydney: She seems nice.
Vaughn: Yeah, she is. She's a good person. We have a lot of history, we're trying to... you know, we broke up.
Sydney: Yeah, you mentioned that.
Vaughn: A couple months later we saw each other at a friend's and—
Sydney: You don't have to explain.
Vaughn: No, I know, but I want to because if things were the other way around—
Sydney: Seriously. Don't explain.
