Alias Quotes

Lennox: Emma used to say that she had spent so much of her life pretending to be other people that she was afraid she might disappear. And I have been sitting here trying to remember all her aliases. You're right. It's hard to keep track.
Sydney: I lost my fiancé last year and I know we're trained to compartmentalize things that hurt too much, but I still haven't been able to do that. As hard as it is, I would rather feel it than to not feel anything.

Lennox: I could've sworn you were a blonde.
Sydney: I was. My hair's usually brown. Hard to keep track.

Jack: We've decrypted the specs on Project Helix that you and Vaughn obtained. The data describes a breakthrough in next-generation molecular gene therapy. It refers to a new procedure whereby a patient's face and body are reshaped to identically resemble someone else. Agent Lennox was the first test subject to be doubled.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: How is this possible without obvious scarring?
Jack: The procedure isn't surgical. A patient's genetic code is altered to reshape their physical attributes.
Sydney: Is it reversible?
Jack: It's unclear. It only works on people of a certain genetic disposition and the recipient must be induced into a comatose state for several days while their cells regenerate. The data indicates the only way to distinguish the real person from the double is by an ocular scan. A flaw in the iris was deliberately built into the procedure to tell them apart.

Sydney: I've had two years of perspective! I am through letting Arvin Sloane control my life and I don't need your approval to resign! I told you as a courtesy!
Kendall: Well, then, I will pay you the courtesy of informing you that if you leave this agency, you forfeit the clearance to see your mother.

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: Ah... you must be the man that Sark told me about. The man that Sydney was willing to kill me for.
Vaughn: She would have killed you for a lot less.

Vaughn: Marshall? I'm Michael Vaughn. Welcome to the CIA.
Marshall: [smiles nervously] Heard that one before.
Vaughn: [smiles] Well, this time it's for real. [gestures for Marshall to turn] We have a desk set up for you.
Marshall: [turns] Syd!
Sydney: How are you?
Marshall: I'm fine, except every few moments I fight the urge to weep openly. But that's normal, right?

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: Hello?
Sloane: Congratulations, Sydney. You have so many things to celebrate today. I, myself, am still coping with the pain and disappointment of learning that you and Jack were double agents. The two people I trusted most in the world.
...
Sloane: You don't really think it was a coincidence that I happened to be away these past two weeks, do you? The intel that you acquired that allowed the CIA to take down the Alliance -- I provided that. My involvement with the Alliance is merely a means to an end.
Sydney: Why are you telling me this?
Sloane: Because knowing that I'm alive is going to tempt you to come after me. Don't. We've helped set each other free, Sydney. And as much as I wish you well, I will end your life if you get in my way.
...
Sloane: [On the phone] Our first honest conversation, Sydney, and you have nothing to say?
Sydney: Listen to me, you son of a bitch! You have been a plague on my life. You repulse me! Every time I sat across from you, listening to your lies, all I could do was fantasize about slashing your throat!

TV Show: Alias
Dixon: How long have you known?
Sydney: Two years. I wanted to tell you so many times, but I was ordered not to. The CIA had no way to verify what I knew in my heart was true -- that you would never consider working for a man like Arvin Sloane.
Dixon: We were partners. You lied to me, then chose to tell me the truth when it was convenient for you. I never want to see you again.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: [to Sloane] The CIA has a hit list. Thirty-five people worldwide its agents are allowed to kill. Thirty-five out of six billion. You're one of them. Which means when I kill you, I won't even be breaking the law.

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: Can it wait?
Weiss: Apparently not, he wants Sydney too. Are you with her?
Vaughn: Uh ... No. I haven't seen her.
Weiss: You're in bed with her right now, aren't you?
Vaughn: I'm trying... just find out what he wants.

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: You said everyone in the radius was affected, even people who were taking cover?
Marshall: Yeah. Well, there's no defense against this kind of energy. It goes through walls, concrete, steel, everything.
Kendall: There's no shield.
Marshall: No. Sorry. Oh, um, I should probably also tell you that, um, this kind of energy knocks out computer circuitry. Which means if it's pointed at the sky, it could take down planes.

TV Show: Alias
Dixon: I'm out.
Vaughn: Sydney's in trouble.
Dixon: Respect my decision.
Vaughn: I can't do that. Not when your decision may cost Sydney her life. You wouldn't tell Sydney how you infiltrated Kabir's so she found an alternate way in using what turned out to be faulty intel. She was captured and unless we find another confirmed access point, no one will be sent in to get her out.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: We may never have a better chance to get Sloane. Remember, without Irina's help, the operation in Kashmir would have been an embarrassment.
Kendall: Jack, when the hell did we switch places? Derevko could be using this operation just to convince us that she's trustworthy.
Jack: I've had twenty years to reflect on that woman's ability to deceive. Trust me. If she lies to me again, I'll know it.

TV Show: Alias
Irina: I wanted to see you because... it's going to be dangerous, setting this trap. I hope it goes well but there's no guarantee. So whatever happens, there's something I need you to know. Sydney, I love you.
Sydney: Mom--
Irina: You don't have to say anything. I'm pretty sure I haven't earned very much, and that's okay. This was just something I needed to say.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: What is this about? I'd appreciate a little context here. You haven't even given me your name.
Yeager: I'm Mitchell Yeager, I'm counter-intelligence threat analyst. That should give you a little context. I've been sent here to investigate Michael Vaughn. It's come to our attention that over the past three months, Mr. Vaughn has been in contact with a number of unapproved foreign operatives. He's also actively pursued contact with Mr. Pograski, who happens to be a former KGB assassin known to have ties with at least three terrorist organizations.
...
Sydney: Listen to me, there is not a chance that he is a traitor, that he would be collaborating with an enemy.
Yeager: You know, I knew your mother. About twenty years ago, met her with your father. We used to go to a lot of these agency functions, you know. She was, uh, charming. Very disarming woman... who wasn't what she seemed.

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: Look, there is something you don't know about me. I don't like it when people question my loyalty. It makes me insane.
Sydney: This isn't about loyalty. I never said anything about loyalty.
Vaughn: When you ask me if I'm keeping secrets, the suggestion's pretty clear.
Sydney: And you know what? Secrets will be a problem between us. After everything we've been through, you should know that.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: Research? What kind of research?
Vaughn: It's something private. Something just for me.
Sydney: Who do you think you work for? Nothing is private. You're being investigated.
...
Vaughn: I had to find out if she was deceiving us again. I mean, I could not sleep at night knowing I was doing nothing. That somehow, I was helping her.
Sydney: And did you find anything?
Vaughn: Nothing. She's clean.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: Your mother betrayed us. Betrayed the CIA. Her meeting with Sloane was staged to secure her escape.
Sydney: You don't know that. Sloane could've set up the meet to abduct her.
Jack: Before the operation, she swapped the Rambaldi manuscript. She left us with a fake. She and Sloane are now in possession of the original. Sydney, they planned this.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: My mother's earrings. They found a note she left. She wanted me to have them. Just now, when my dad was telling me, the first thought I had was that she was dead, that she'd been killed. I had this whole thing in my head that she died proving herself a hero.
Dixon: No one can be blamed for trusting their own mother.
Sydney: I wish she had been killed.

TV Show: Alias
Irina: I see through you. You must know that.
Sloane: This is who I am.
Irina: You may need to think of yourself as an honorable husband, a father figure, but I don't. I will never see that man in you, which frankly is why we have this agreement.
Sloane: You need to get some rest.
Irina: Never talk to me about your love for Sydney again.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: You were right to investigate her.
Vaughn: Sydney . . .
Sydney: No, it's okay. It's the truth. I'm not blaming you, it's me. I was so naive about her.
Vaughn: I don't think you should be a part of this task force. Look, you know how I feel about Irina Derevko but no one should have to hunt down their own mother, no matter what the circumstances are.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: [watching Emily on security camera footage] She's alive?
Jack: She walked through the front door, told the duty guard she is the wife of Arvin Sloane, that she wants to cooperate with the CIA and that she will only talk to you.

TV Show: Alias
Irina: This plan might not hold up. The CIA knows too much: they could guess why we were after the genetic database.
Sloane: I'm not interested in the database. I want satellite footage of Tuscany. I want to know who murdered my wife.
Irina: We both had to make sacrifices, Arvin. You won't forgive yourself if you stop now. We're so close to knowing what Rambaldi knew.
Sloane: I wish I never heard that man's name.

TV Show: Alias
Sark: I'm like anyone, Mr. Caplan. What I want is that which I never had.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: Vaughn. I mean, okay. The backpack is getting a little ridiculous.
Vaughn: What do you mean?
Sydney: [she points to her bureau] The middle drawer. It's yours.
...
Weiss: She gave you a drawer, huh?
Vaughn: It was a gesture of convenience.
Weiss: And, uh, what did you put in it?
Vaughn: Why do you care?
Weiss: What do you mean, why do I care? Do you know how spoiled you are? You know, a drawer! I wish I had a girlfriend to say "Hey, do you want a drawer?"
Vaughn: I'll give you a drawer at my place.
Weiss: I don't wanna drawer in your place.
...
Weiss: [to Vaughn] If we end up sharing a cell in federal prison, I'm not giving you a drawer.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: I'm not willing to risk your life based on speculative intel you acquired from a Russian spy.
Sydney: Why would she lie?
Jack: That's precisely the question!
Sydney: She turned herself in!
Jack: She's not the first!

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: We downloaded the DNA database Caplan decrypted from the computer he was working on. We finally have a lead on Sloane and Derevko.
Jack: Good. But, Sydney, if you go around me again I'll have you transferred and finding them will no longer be part of your job description.

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: I'm taking a leave. I want you to continue without me.
Sark: Sir, not to belittle your grief, but do not deny yourself the victory of a thirty-year pursuit.
Sloane: If I don't see you again, Mr. Sark, tell Irina that I hope you both succeed where I couldn't.

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: You're saying that five hundred years ago Rambaldi drew the DNA profile of a man who's alive today?
Kerry: It gets even better. Di Regno's DNA profile was a code key. It let us decrypt page 94 of the Rambaldi manuscript.
Dixon: What's on the page?
Brandon: Times and dates, each marking an apocalyptic event.
