- Sydney Bristow: Vaughn?
- Michael Vaughn: How come you never call me Michael?
- Sydney Bristow: I call you Michael sometimes.
- [pause]
- Sydney Bristow: Vaughn.
- Michael Vaughn: [Marshall is offered a job with the real CIA] Hi, I'm Michael Vaughn. Welcome to the CIA.
- Marshall Flinkman: Uh, yeah I've heard that one before.
- Arvin Sloane: Ah... you must be the man that Sark told me about. The man that Sydney was willing to kill me for.
- Michael Vaughn: She would have killed you for a lot less.
- Sydney Bristow: I'm graduating today.
- Michael Vaughn: What? When the hell did you have time to take a class this year?
- Sydney Bristow: I wasn't even going to go to the ceremony but... And I've been lying here remembering why I never gave school up and why I killed myself writing papers instead of... I don't know, accepting that I'd be an agent forever.
- Michael Vaughn: You're going to quit the CIA, aren't you?
- Sydney Bristow: I'm thinking about leaving the CIA. Which would mean giving up my clearance to see you.
- Irina Derevko: You're too forgiving, Sydney. Don't pretend I'm something I'm not. I've never been a real mother to you and... you don't owe me a second chance. If you make this decision about me, you're a fool. In fact, if you decide to stay I won't agree to see you anymore. Take care of yourself.
- Sydney Bristow: [on the phone] Hello?
- Arvin Sloane: Congratulations, Sydney. You have so many things to celebrate today. I, myself, am still coping with the pain and disappointment of learning that you and Jack were double agents. The two people I trusted most in the world.
- Arvin Sloane: You don't really think it was a coincidence that I happened to be away these past two weeks, do you? The intel that you acquired that allowed the CIA to take down the Alliance... I provided that. My involvement with the Alliance is merely a means to an end.
- Sydney Bristow: Why are you telling me this?
- Arvin Sloane: Because knowing that I'm alive is going to tempt you to come after me. Don't. We've helped set each other free, Sydney. And as much as I wish you well, I will end your life if you get in my way.
- Jack Bristow: Simply put, it's the study of geometric objects and how they fit together. All Alliance facilities have been raided yet we haven't found a single Rambaldi artifact. If Sloane was expecting our raid, he could've had everything moved to a secure location. He must be using Caplan to help him assemble a Rambaldi device.
- Michael Vaughn: So what happens when Sloane puts the pieces together?
- Jack Bristow: Whether or not you believe Rambaldi was a prophet, he did anticipate technological advances, many of which seem most applicable to warfare. It's likely Sloane is building a weapon.
- Neil Caplan: I don't understand. Why do you want me? I'm nobody.
- Arvin Sloane: You're going to help me put them together because, you see, Mr. Caplan, I know that you feel like you're only a hostage right now. But I assume you became a scientist to discover what secrets the universe has to offer. Believe me, when we're done here, you'll be thanking me for giving you the answer. So why don't you go ahead and take a look?
- Marcus Dixon: How long have you known?
- Sydney Bristow: Two years. I wanted to tell you so many times, but I was ordered not to. The CIA had no way to verify what I knew in my heart was true... that you would never consider working for a man like Arvin Sloane.
- Marcus Dixon: We were partners. You lied to me, then chose to tell me the truth when it was convenient for you. I never want to see you again.
- Julian Sark: I made contact with our point man. He's assembling a team for the bank but I must question your decision to lead them in yourself. In spite of your precautions, it's wildly risky, given your new level of notoriety.
- Arvin Sloane: I'm approaching the finish line of a thirty-year odyssey. I won't let anyone else take the final steps for me.
