When Sydney finds out the secrets about SD-6, a "division of the CIA", she decides it's best that she tell the man she will soon be marrying, Danny, who gets killed because of it. Then she decides that she needs to stop SD-6 and enlists in the real CIA, like her father. She becomes a double agent, under the eye of her handler, Vaughn. Now her mission is to pretend to be faithful to SD-6, but secretly give information to the CIA.

| Sydney: Maybe I should call my dad... I mean, he is my dad.
Francie: You are schizophrenic! Just remind yourself, unless you're talking about importing airplane parts, that man's got nothing to say. Let him find out when he gets the invitation.
| (On the phone)
Danny: I'm calling because I'm planning on asking Sydney to marry me and... I was hoping to get your approval.
Mr. Bristow: Danny, let me ask you a question.
Danny: Sure.
Mr. Bristow: How well do you know my daughter?
Danny: Um, we've been dating for two years...
Mr. Bristow: Because if you feel the need to ask me about this scenario, I have a sense you don't know Sydney at all.
Danny: Sir, I love your daughter and I want to marry her. That's why I'm calling.
Mr. Bristow: First of all, Danny, the truth is this is just a courtesy call. Like when you say to your neighbor, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night if that's all right with you." What you really mean is, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night."
Danny: Mr. Bristow,...
Mr. Bristow: Sydney doesn't give a damn what my opinion is. What interests me is that you do.
Danny: It's just a custom to call the father, that's all this is...
Mr. Bristow: Well, then, I'll tell you what. I may become your father-in-law, that's just fine. But I will not be used as part of a charming little anecdote you tell your friends at cocktail parties so they can see what a quaint, old-fashioned guy Danny really is. Are we clear?
Danny: Yes, sir...
Mr. Bristow: Good. Then welcome to the family.
| Sydney: Was it good?
Will: For the date, it was. Yes.
Sydney: You didn't like her?
Will: I didn't mind her so much. I don't like my sister anymore. That's the problem, having siblings live with you. They try to get you to meet people that you aren't supposed to meet in real life.
| Will: Her favorite movie of all time. You ready for this? "Pretty Woman."
Sydney: So? I'm sure that's a lot of people's favorite movie.
Will: Yeah, that's probably true. Congratulations. But of all time?
Will: That includes, like, well, any other movie ever made. All of them!
| Sydney: Danny... since my mother died, I always hoped I would find someone to give my life meaning. That person is you. I just met the agency first. I can't quit.
| Dixon: If there's one rule you don't break, that's the rule you don't break.
| (On Sydney's answering machine)
Danny: You're not there... I know you're not there. Or in San Diego. You could be anywhere, doing anything... Which is the crux of the issue... Can I live like this, not knowing where or why, when? Can I live in the dark? And the answer is... the only answer I came up with, Sydney, was... was yes. Sid, I don't care. The whole world's a nightmare anywhere. It's all dangerous. No matter what we do. I couldn't live with myself, saying goodbye to you because of risk. All the risk. The kids... that's something we have to talk about because I want kids. I love kids. But maybe there is a way out because people aren't spies forever. But sometimes people have to say they used to be spies. I miss you, Sid. Come home.
| Sydney: What did you do?
Sloane: I might ask you the same question. Security section became aware of the breach and performed their function. You're familiar with the codes of conduct, Agent Bristow. You knew these codes apply to you, even if you put to risk the lives of every man and woman working in the agency.
Sydney: Danny wasn't a risk... he was... he was just a man. He was... he was a doctor, he was just...
Sloane: You listen to me. Information about this agency must be treated like a virus. There is only one response to a virus, and that response is containment. You put us in a compromised situation, and even though I despise the countermeasure, we have...
Sydney: Stop saying "we." Stop talking about the agency. You killed the man I love!
Sloane: No, Agent Bristow. You did.
| Sydney: I've got bad news for you, man. I'm your worst enemy. I've got nothing to lose.
Suit and Glasses: That's not exactly true. You have teeth.
| Mr. Bristow: About a decade ago, a pool of agents went free-lance. Russian, Libyan, Chinese, Ethopian…
Sydney: The alliance of twelve.
Mr. Bristow: What do you know about them?
Sydney: They're an enemy of the United States. They're mercenaries. They're dangerous.
Mr. Bristow: I'm one of them. SD-6 is not a black ops division of the C.I.A. SD-6 is a branch of the alliance. You work for the very enemy you thought you were fighting.
| Sydney: Who are you to come to me and act like a father? If you want to help me, stay away from me.
| Vaughn: But I know we could use another double agent in SD-6. So I'll be in contact. I'm going to get you out of here, keep you concealed. Why are you shaking your head?
Sydney: Because you said "another."
Vaughn: So?
Sydney: So, if you really had one already you most likely wouldn't tell me until I was authenticated.
Vaughn: Unless I had an instinct about you.
Sydney: My bet is you don't have another double.
Vaughn: We might.
Sydney: But you want me to believe that you do so that on the off chance that I'm looking to be a triple agent, I'll report back there was an existing mole to upset the balance of my agency.
Vaughn: I'm not trying to play you.
Sydney: Yeah. We'll see.

| After Sidney kicks her SD-6 assassin into the car window, he falls down, with his hands down. Jack's car shrieks and when Sidney reaches down to the ground to pick up the gun the assassins hands are up again, falling.
