Alias Quotes

Francie: Okay, so I'm in my Operations and Technology Management class, and I realize two things. One, I prepared the wrong chapter.
Sydney: No!
Francie: I don't want to talk about it. And two, you and I are going to have a Halloween party.

TV Show: Alias
Francie: So, what's going on with work? You always talk about work and you haven't even mentioned it today.
Will: I wasn't working on a S.A.T. story. When I bumped into you guys? There is no S.A.T. story. I was trying to track down a woman named Kate Jones. She was supposed to be seated next to Danny on a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong.

TV Show: Alias
Dixon: Sloane is asking about Berlin. He thinks someone might have gotten to Schiller. He thinks he might be a plant. He wanted to know why you had me change the pick up to Koenig Strasse.
Sydney: I told you, I thought I was being followed.
Dixon: Syd, is there something I should know?
Sydney: No.

Sydney: What's this?
Vaughn: A bug.
Sydney: What are you, twelve years old?
Vaughn: No, a bug.

Sydney: Raid my closet.
Francie: Thanks, but I got boobs.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: What you think you know, you don't know.
Sydney: Then you explain it to me.
Jack: You don't have clearance.
Sydney: Clearance?!
Jack: Yes.
Sydney: To be told how my mother died??
Jack: There are rules, Sydney.
Sydney: Then you break them!
Jack: Think about what you're saying. Acting cavalier about breaking the rules. Think about the last time you did something like that. I'm not a perfect man. I know that. But I am smart enough not to draw simple conclusions and then act upon them. I would think if anyone had learned that lesson it would have been you.

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: [On the possibility that the SD-6 dead drop is a trap] Sydney's life is worth the risk!
Jack: Not to Sydney! Taking them down is what gets her up in the morning, or did you think it was those meetings she has with you?

TV Show: Alias
Jack: Mr. Vaughn, you're young and you're eager, and I understand that. But one thing you're not, and this is something only time can provide really, is wise.

TV Show: Alias
[Marshall uncovers a big red inflatable chair]
Marshall: Want to have a seat? I got a minor form of scoliosis, so the air ergonomically hugs me. Oh, you want to stretch out? I can inflate the couch.
Sloane: I'll stand.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: The irony is they never lied to me about what would happen if I told someone. It was the one thing they said that turned out to be true. Now I'm a double agent for the C.I.A. and I will be until SD-6 is gone.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: Shephard killed Danny. I'm sure you know that already.
Sydney: If I didn't, thanks for breaking it to me gently.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: How do I look?
Dixon: For the record, that's a question you never have to ask anyone.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: Lie detector test.
Sydney: I studied the C.I.A. instruction book on how to take a successful LDT.
Jack: This isn't like that. This test monitors variations in blood flow in the brain. It's very difficult to deceive. Tell your handler Vaughn he needs to prepare you for this. If he can't, he'll get someone who can.

TV Show: Alias
Will: [Reading from a book] "Laura, all my love, forever and a day. Jack." That's not, like, your dad Jack, is it?
Sydney: Yeah.
Will: Wow. That's uncharacteristically sweet of him.
Sydney: I know. He actually has a heart, which I'm learning little by little.

TV Show: Alias
Boss: And on the eve of your first front-page story, you suddenly get cold feet.
Will: What are you saying? What are you saying? I made this whole thing up? Look, I swear to God, the only reason I didn't want this story to run is 'cause I don't want to hurt Sydney Bristow. That's it.
Boss: You're a talented writer, Will, but I promise you, if anything like this happens again the only thing you'll be inventing are facts on your résumé.

TV Show: Alias
Marshall: You know that sound you're hearing, you know, that boom? That's my mind blowing.

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: We both are. We're both doing our job. And I look at Sydney Bristow's test results -- I don't see a single spike. She didn't falter once.
Dreyer: She's guilty. She's the one.
Sloane: I think that's a dangerous accusation made by a desperate man.
Dreyer: I'm not desperate, Mr. Sloane. But I am curious why you feel the need to defend Miss Bristow?

TV Show: Alias
Marshall: [holding a gadget] Okay, now, this thing sucks...literally. Sucks all the information from the computer hard drive right into the internal flash RAM.

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: I always knew there was something about you, from the first time I saw you.
Sydney: A lot can change in seven years.
Sloane: It's been a lot longer than seven years. I've known your father since 1971. I met him at Langley. I knew your mother. I went to your parents' wedding. Sydney, I've known you since you were a baby. I was out of the country for most of your childhood, various operations, but I kept tabs on you. I checked in on you in my own way. I always thought of you as my daughter, even from the beginning. Well, I just wanted to let you know...before you went away.

TV Show: Alias
Will: Okay, okay, whatever, it sucks, all right? But it's why I wanted to become a reporter. I saw this when I was a kid and I loved it. And I was just like, I don't know, all the quick...
Francie: Repartee.
Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it just looked fun. You know, being a reporter looked fun. But it's not. It's not fun. It's a pain in the ass.

TV Show: Alias
Disguised Voice: [On the phone] You have questions about Kate Jones. How far are you willing to go, Mr. Tippin? I need to hear the words "I'm ready."
Will: Why? Why? Could my life be in danger?
Disguised Voice: Say the words.
Will: Yeah, I'm in. I'm ready.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: I need you to tell me what's happening!
Steven: You didn't hear this from me. [Pause] While Sydney and Russek were in Geneva, a transmission was recorded from her location and it was not one of ours.
Jack: You think it was Sydney?
Steven: This is not the first indication that she might be working for someone else.

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: [Speaking to Sydney] For the past few weeks, you've been under suspicion. We knew we had a mole and there were signs that indicated that it was you. And then when you were in Geneva, we picked up a third-party transmission and it seemed to confirm that you betrayed SD-6. And what I just learned is that it wasn't your transmission. It was Russek's.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: In the cell, when Russek was trying to get me to talk, I asked him questions about his interrogation. When he told me that they threatened to kill him, he was blinking at erratic intervals -- a classic indication that he was lying. So, I didn't talk only because I knew he wasn't in any real danger. Either Sloane still thinks I'm the mole and is using me somehow --

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: Look, to you, my job might seem pointless and stupid but it's not. It's far from pointless and if you knew what I dealt with every day, you might even thank me for doing my job so well!
Will: [Confused] What the hell are you talking about?
Sydney: Nothing. I'm going to work. I'll see you guys.

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: I didn't know how it would finally materialize: the darkness. I had nothing to base it on. It wasn't as if the C.I.A. had just betrayed me, that my wife had just been diagnosed with lymphoma. None of that had happened yet. So, whenever life takes an unfortunate turn, as it has this week, I just remind myself that I could see it coming all along.

TV Show: Alias
[After Sydney and Jack have escaped from captivity]
Sydney: It took me a second to realize what you were doing.
Jack: I was blinking as fast as I could.
Sydney: I know. I was like, "Hard on your light"?
Jack: Guard on your right.
Sydney: Well, I figured it out. I was just never very good at Morse code.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: Dad, can I ask you something? When you started with SD-6, you knew that they were a mercenary group and they had no connection with the C.I.A. But I didn't. When I joined, I thought I was going to be saving the world and not making it more dangerous.
Jack: What's the question?
Sydney: Why didn't you say something? I mean, you could have told me what I was really doing -- damage instead of good -- but you kept quiet.
Jack: [Sighs] Revealing the truth about what you were doing would have required revealing the truth about what I was doing.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: What happens when someone you care about is in trouble? What you said, that nothing else matters. It all just goes away. Last week when I learned what my father did for me, sacrificing Russek, it made me sick. But now, I know I would have done exactly the same thing. You should have seen him.
Vaughn: Your father?
Sydney: Yeah, he was like ... he was like a pro. He was good. I mean, the way you talked about him once, what his reputation was, I could see it in action. He was ... impressive.

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: There's nothing routine about that list. There's something very specific about it. It's been a mystery within the agency for over two decades. Who murdered those C.I.A. officers? I'm sorry, but we have our answer now. It was your father. And I'm going to report him.
