Alias Quotes

Jack: Vaughn's been quizzing me about "Julia." I tried shutting down his inquiry, but apparently something you said has made that impossible.
Sydney: All I said was that I couldn't talk about it.
Jack: Which, of course, has only piqued his interest.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: I can't afford to make a distinction between professional and personal - not in my life. I mean, this job took two years from me. Everything is personal.

TV Show: Alias
Walker: Tell me who the hell you're working for!
Sydney: I'm working for myself, you son of a bitch!

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: A member of Walker's team caught Michael; I still don't know how. Walker ID'd him as CIA --
Lauren: -- and stabbed him and left him for dead. I already know all this. It's in the briefing. Thank you.
Sydney: Lauren, that's not . . . Walker had a gun to Michael's head. He was about to pull the trigger. I took his knife . . . I stabbed him myself.

TV Show: Alias
Lauren: I don't know about you, but I can't work to the best of my abilities while wondering whether or not I'm being polite enough to my husband's ex-girlfriend.
Sydney: You don't need to be polite with me. We're both past formalities.
Lauren: Then I'll be blunt. I want you to request a transfer to another field office.
...
Sydney: I know we're being blunt, but was that a threat? You don't have the authority to have me transferred.
Lauren: The NSC will support me, when they learn that our working together is compromising their fight against the Covenant.

TV Show: Alias
Lauren: You've told Bomani you'd work for the Covenant?
Sloane: Yes. And now I'm telling you that I'm in the position to be a double agent. Working for the Covenant but loyal to the CIA ...What is it, Sydney?
Sydney: [in disbelief] This is classic ...

TV Show: Alias
Marshall: Now as far as our technology can detect - and these are next gen tests, as high-end as it gets - he's not lyin', folks.
Sydney: If there's someone who can fool those tests, it's Sloane.
Marshall: Yeah, well, in theory, yes. But in practice, he'd really have to be using the next gen's next gen lie detector defeating tech, which frankly, even I can't imagine.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: Okay. Just so someone has said it: in the past two years, Sloane has obtained a pardon based mainly on the capture of a criminal who is now free. In addition, Sloane will be allowed to openly participate in Covenant activities, based on the promise that he will inform us of those activities. One could argue that he's just pulled off the con job of the century.
Lauren: It also appears that Bomani will kill Sloane if we interfere with his plans.
Sydney: And who here would lose sleep over that?

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: I miss LA. I miss Emily. I miss the friendship with your father. [sighs] I miss your confidence and trust. Perhaps, I can get it back someday?
Sydney: You will never have my confidence and trust ... or my father's friendship and respect ... ever.

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: It's been three weeks since I learned that Sydney murdered Lazarey ... I've been lying to my wife for three weeks.
Weiss: Vaughn, I know guys who've lied to their wives for a lot longer than that.
Vaughn: You understand that the reason your brother didn't like talking to you is because you say stupid things, right?

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: Sydney, I was very pleased when Dixon said you'd agreed to be my handler.
Sydney: It was an assignment, not an agreement - the way a janitor doesn't agree to clean a toilet. But as your handler, you'll do as I say, when I say it. I select your assignments; I design your missions. I control you, not the other way around.
Sloane: Is that what you used to let Vaughn do? Control you?
...
Sydney: You will set up a meeting with Sark and Allison. You'll explain to them that their travel plans have been compromised. You'll then offer them assistance in revising their arrangements.
Sloane: And pass the information along to you.
Sydney: That won't be necessary. You'll be wearing a wire.
Sloane: And if they discover that it's a setup?
Sydney: Then I get to hear them kill you.

TV Show: Alias
Marshall: I don't know if you've noticed, but, uh…I'm not that smooth around the ladies, well, in fact, I'm a little awkward. Well, I mean, let's face it: You got the looks and I got the brains, but look, I wanted to propose to Carrie, so I came up with an idea, and I was hoping you could give me some objective feedback.
Vaughn: I got the looks, you got the brains!?

TV Show: Alias
Weiss: This is why people from the CIA should not get married to people from the NSC, man. Don't poop where you sleep...
Vaughn: Thanks a lot.

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: By the way, you look beautiful.
Sydney: Spare me.
Sloane: You know, Sydney, we should dance.
Sydney: Like hell.
Sloane: There was a time you trusted me.
Sydney: That was before I knew who you were . . . That was before I knew who I was.

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: You killed Javier Perez, you son of a bitch!
Jack: You've just returned from a traumatic experience, Mr. Vaughn. You're understandably emotional, which would explain your baseless accusation.
Vaughn: You're right, I am emotional. I get that way when I see a gun pressed to my wife's temple!
Jack: Ours is a risky business.
Vaughn: If you ever put my wife's life in danger again, I will kill you!
Jack: Then perhaps you finally understand the moral compromises you'll make when someone you love is in danger.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: It must've been lost in the mail.
Sydney: Your invitation?
Jack: Unless it was an e-vite. I don't read e-vites.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: Sloane gave you a key, which he claims was sent to him some time before you woke up in Hong Kong.
Sydney: Yeah, his claim was pretty convincing: it was written in my handwriting.
...
Jack: Remember when I told you that during the time you were missing, I contacted your mother? That cipher text was encoded using a method that she devised.
Sydney: What does this mean? That I was in contact with Mom during the two years I was gone?

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: If the NSC wants to find me, they will. Look, I was someone else for two years, Vaughn - someone I don't even remember. What am I supposed to do now? Spend the rest of my life in hiding?
Vaughn: Between that and a lobotomy, there isn't a choice!
Sydney: I can't keep running forever.
Vaughn: I'll do everything I can to make sure you won't have to.
Sydney: Vaughn, why are you doing this? My life is already a disaster ... now yours is, too.
Vaughn: What happened between us - everything. The way it is ... isn't anyone's fault, Sydney. And even though everything's changed, some things don't. I'm not gonna lose you twice.

TV Show: Alias
Lauren: Under authority of the National Security Council, Robert Lindsey has instructed me to relieve you of duty as director of this task force until he arrives to assume control.
Dixon: On what grounds?
Lauren: Obstruction of justice. Willingly conspiring to impede an international investigation into the murder of Andrian Lazarey.
...
Lauren: These premises are to be locked down until Lindsey arrives with Federal Agents. That means, until such time, nobody leaves.
Dixon: I take it you have Sydney in custody.
Lauren: Not yet. But we know where she is.

TV Show: Alias
Jack: We're waiting for Sloane.
Vaughn: You called Sloane on this?
Jack: You and I will be the prime suspects behind any attempt to free Sydney from NSC custody. Sloane has agreed to make it seem as if it were the work of the Covenant. Do I trust him on this? Not necessarily.

TV Show: Alias
Lauren: But Sydney's made it very clear she doesn't remember anything.
Lindsey: But when we searched her flat in Rome, we found a coded message taped to the underside of her desk. Now, if she can decode that message, it may help us infiltrate or even take down the Covenant.
Lauren: What if she doesn't recognize the code?
Lindsey: As long as she demonstrates a willingness to cooperate, that surgery will be nothing more than a threat.
...
Lauren: No, I'm sorry, but if I'm going to chronicle our treatment of Sydney Bristow, I need to see how she's being treated.
Lindsey: How do you suppose it was that Sydney Bristow knew to flee the country before she was even aware the NSC wanted to take her into custody?

TV Show: Alias
Vaughn: The fact that you're letting me see this place means: it's not your only one, is it?
Jack: You're smarter than you look.

TV Show: Alias
Sloane: You and Sydney still believe I'm pursuing some hidden agenda. Now, whatever you may perceive that agenda to be, clearly it would be easier to obtain if you were both dead, given that you're my most vocal detractors - my most capable antagonists.
Jack: Or you need us for something. Something you believe only we can provide.
...
Sloane: You and Sydney are my absolution, my penance. You're all I have left.

TV Show: Alias
Campbell: [to Sydney] Your personality profile reveals your one major weakness: empathetic suffering is harder for you to sustain than physical torture. So ... thanks for caring.
...
Sydney: You better make sure I'm a vegetable when you're done with me...

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: What happens if what we're looking for isn't metal?
Jack: Then we're screwed; it isn't an unfamiliar situation.

TV Show: Alias
Lauren: I know how hard this might be for you ...
[Sydney punches her.]
Sydney: That was for turning me in to Lindsey.

TV Show: Alias
Brazzel: Be aware that if you encounter a new memory, it might be traumatic.
Sydney: But it won't necessarily be real.
Brazzel: Oh, it will be to you.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: I can't help it, I just miss you. I do.
Vaughn: You know we can't do this.
Sydney: Give me a break, it's a dream - we can do whatever we want. At least, I can.

TV Show: Alias
Sydney: Remind me to kiss you.
Marshall: Wh-? Ok...
Dixon: What'd she say to you?
Marshall: Uh... nothing.

TV Show: Alias
Marshall: Wow. Mr. Bristow hallucinated the one man who could actually save his life. Even his delusions are lucid.
