- Irina Derevko: [Vaughn has come to ask a favor of Irina] Tell me how you feel about my daughter?
- Michael Vaughn: That's none of your business.
- Irina Derevko: Are you in love with her?
- Michael Vaughn: I don't know why that matters.
- Irina Derevko: [cutting him off] I don't have the advantage of observing casual behavior... I'm curious.
- Michael Vaughn: Help me... and I'll tell you what you want to know.
- F.B.I. Asst. Director Kendall: Mountaineer, abort the op and head back. We'll find another way to...
- Sydney Bristow: Abort? We don't have time to find something else!
- F.B.I. Asst. Director Kendall: If you use the machine, they'll know you're there.
- Sydney Bristow: Then I'll run fast.
- Alice: The paramedics called. What was his last meal? Is he allergic to any medication? I got to the hospital as fast as I could... So you work with Michael?
- Sydney Bristow: Yeah. We're in the same bureau at state. I'm Rita.
- Alice: I'm Alice. I'm listed as his emergency contact. I'm Michael's girlfriend. Excuse me.
- Jack Bristow: Are there concerns?
- Arvin Sloane: Since I was made a partner in the Alliance, SD-6 has consistently stumbled in its operations. We lost the terahertz wave camera. We failed to retrieve the formula for zero-point energy. We didn't acquire Derevko's operations manual.
- Jack Bristow: The situation regarding Emily has been a distraction. Informing them puts these setbacks in context.
- Arvin Sloane: Christophe wants me to meet with him in Tokyo. I need a victory, Jack. I need to bring something tangible to the organization.
- Julian Sark: I need access to Arvin Sloane.
- Sydney Bristow: Why?
- Julian Sark: Because I intend to kill him.
- Sydney Bristow: I can get you to Sloane, but only if you promise to let me keep the antidote.
- Julian Sark: No. Sloane first. Then you'll get back your precious antidote.
- F.B.I. Asst. Director Kendall: What exactly did you promise Sark?
- Sydney Bristow: That I would render Sloane unconscious and deliver him to Sark.
- F.B.I. Asst. Director Kendall: So he could kill him.
- Sydney Bristow: Yes.
- F.B.I. Asst. Director Kendall: There are just so many problems with this that I don't even know where to begin.
- Will Tippin: Well, how would you explain a question like this, then? Why can rainbows be seen only when the sun is behind the observer?
- Henry Fields: This wasn't in the test I sent to ETS. I design the questions, I proof the test booklets they print up, and then when they send the final corrected copies, I put them on file.
- Will Tippin: About how many first graders took this test?
- Henry Fields: They administered this in thirty-three states. That's over five million children.
- Jack Bristow: Sloane's on his way to Japan. He plans to stay at a Yakuza-run Ryokan, the Nyoshi Ginza. Use the numbers he gave you and contact Sark. Tell him we will hand him Sloane the night before his Alliance meeting.
- Sydney Bristow: Tell me you agree with me, that we have no choice in this.
- Jack Bristow: Of course we have a choice, and it's a moment I never wanted you to face. To kill someone. I'm not talking about self-defense: I'm talking about premeditated murder. To be there when the door closes on him for the last time. Knowing you are responsible. That is something you never came close to considering before getting to know your mother.
- Sydney Bristow: Approaching the building.
- Julian Sark: Good luck, Sydney.
- Sydney Bristow: I don't need you to wish me luck, you son of a bitch.
- Julian Sark: That's a wonderful attitude.
- Jack Bristow: Almost. Sydney got the antidote. The doctors say your blood levels are looking good.
- Michael Vaughn: How did she do it?
- Jack Bristow: She had Sloane killed.
- Michael Vaughn: You asked me some questions. I told you I'd answer them if you helped me. You did help me. And I thank you for that.
- Irina Derevko: I didn't do it for you.
- Michael Vaughn: I'm trying to live a normal life... which was always hard, given what I do. But it's gotten harder since I met your daughter. It's not that knowing her hasn't made my life better. It has. But it's also made it that much worse... I think I've said enough.
- Irina Derevko: The problem, Mr. Vaughn... Is that to the one person who matters... You haven't said anything at all.
- Michael Vaughn: Listen, this may not mean anything to you, this may not be something you understand, or appreciate, but we have rules. Very clear, important rules that govern the relationship between a handler and his asset.
- Irina Derevko: And between a man and a woman?
- Arvin Sloane: [to Sydney] You know Mr. Sark.
- Julian Sark: I don't think we've ever been officially introduced.
- Arvin Sloane: Mr. Sark is now cooperating with us in our ongoing search for Derevko and the remains of her company.
- Michael Vaughn: Thanks for getting back to me so soon. Uh, the thing is, I think I have a problem.
- Doctor Nicholas: I know you're worried, but we ran every available diagnostic test for viral infections. Everything that could be related to your exposure to the fluid inside the Rambaldi device. They all came back negative.
- Lab Technician: You need blood from the patient. In this case, Vaughn. The equipment that manufactures the serum reads the blood and creates a custom genetic-specific antidote for that particular patient.
- Sydney Bristow: I'll need to take some of Vaughn's blood with me.
- Lab Technician: Yes.
- Sydney Bristow: Wait, wait, wait! Wait a minute, what's going on? Is he going to be all right?
- Attending Nurse: We don't know, but you have to wait here. Your designated cover: "you're with the state department bureau of arms control. Your name is Rita Stevens", give no details about his illness.
