Episode Quotes
Sydney: (about SD-6) As I said before, Mr. Kendall, they were very convincing. Now, I might not have been a genius at nineteen years old, but I was smart enough to know what questions to ask. They had all the right answers.
Kendall: Says here you were a genius.
Jack: Haladki. I'll talk to him.
Vaughn: No, the problem is he's not talking.
Jack: (seriously) He'll talk to me.
Kendall: And after she died, your father raised you? Is that right?
Sydney: No. He hired a nanny.
Jack: (to Haladki) Just so we're clear: you report this conversation, and you'll never wear a hat again.
Sydney: No, I don't have a hard time keeping a secret. What I don't enjoy is lying to my friends, or being in a constant state of jetlag from flying to the far corners of the world for a man that I wish were dead.
(Vaughn is driving and Sydney is in the trunk)
Sydney: You didn't think about it. Not once. The possibility that Rambaldi could be right about me.
Vaughn: No. I didn't.
Sydney: Why not?
Vaughn: Because I believe in you. Do you think I'd just throw anyone in my trunk?
