- Sydney Bristow: You said you wanted to talk about the plan. I'm giving you the plan
- Michael Vaughn: It's not your job to give me the plan. I'm giving you the plan. Tomorrow's your first day back at SD-6. Now, nothing should change. When you get your assignment, you'll detail your mission on a paper bag.
- [picks one up, showing her]
- Michael Vaughn: Bag. Then you'll call this number.
- [gives her card]
- Michael Vaughn: Memorize it. After three tones, press the appropriate digit - one through six. Each corresponds to a trash can in a specific location. Now we'll review your information, create a countermission, and we'll contact you posing as a wrong number: Joey's Pizza. Any questions so far?
- Sydney Bristow: Yeah. Can you show me what a bag looks like again?
- Agent Eric Weiss: Impressive.
- Vaughn: Yeah.
- Agent Eric Weiss: Balls of steel. That's what I'm going to call you from now on. Hey, have you met Balls of Steel?
- Sydney Bristow: I lost my mind a little. I started imagining things.
- Will Tippin: Whatever the hell you're talking about, maybe you're not imagining it. Syd, this is what I do. I might be able to find something that the police overlooked!
- Sydney Bristow: Stop it! Please. I'm trying to move on here. I need your help to do that. Okay?
- Marshall Flinkman: Okay. Who here has trouble falling asleep at night, hmm?
- [raises his hand - the others just look at him]
- Marshall Flinkman: No one else does? OKay. Well, anyway, myself, on occasion, I find it difficult to nod off - mind racing, ideas, et cetera. So, this kind of pertains to the whole sleeping thing.
- Sydney Bristow: Since I've known the truth about you, I've asked myself questions. Thousands of questions. But this one I have to ask you now. When Danny was killed... Dad... did you know? Did you know that's what they were going to do?
- Jack Bristow: Yes.
- [Sydney slaps him]
- Sydney Bristow: Don't you ever speak to me again
- Sydney Bristow: I don't know what is your problem with me. Maybe it's because I am a woman or you don't like my attitude or something like that, and I am sorry about that but I don't feel like wasting time here. There is only one why we are going to mobilise SD-6 and that's my way. I am sorry for being a forthright or a female but this is how it's going to be.
- Michael Vaughn: [showing her map of SD-6] Since I have been at CIA I only have seen this map grows. This is what you are in the middle of, Sydney.
- Will Tippin: Do you wanna eat your food?
- Sydney Bristow: I want to finish with my clothes first so I could feel like I live here.
- Marshall Flinkman: [to Sydney] Hey, listen, I don't normally get overly personalized. I don't like to cross that line. I mean, you probably don't know this about me, but I am not really much of a social person. I don't... I like myself. I mean, I enjoy myself. I just don't feel that kind of pressure when I am all by myself. Did you ever feel that way?
- Sydney Bristow: You can say anything you want to me.
- Marshall Flinkman: I just wanted to tell you that i am really sorry about your fiancé and it's nice to have you back.
- Marshall Flinkman: Cut the blue wire.
- Sydney Bristow: I'm cutting the blue wire.
- Marshall Flinkman: Wait, hold your phone!
- Sydney Bristow: Don't tell me to hold the phone, I'm sitting on a ticking nuclear bomb!
- Sydney Bristow: Eating newspaper's a condition?
- Will Tippin: Yeah, yeah. This is what I write about. This is how I make a living. And Lintback says my writing's too judgemental and I'm like, "Well, who cares? She's not gonna read it anyway, she's gonna swallow it."
- Agent Eric Weiss: Your girlfriend's name is Alice, right?
- Michael Vaughn: Would you shut up?
- Agent Eric Weiss: I'm just checking to see...
- Michael Vaughn: Get out of my office!
- Sydney Bristow: I know I just started working with you guys at the C.I.A., but listen to me. If we're gonna bring down SD-6, we have to eliminate their source of arms -- Anini Hassan.
- Ineni Hassan: Three of her majesty's favorites.
- Sydney Bristow: Charlie got an offer.
- Will Tippin: Hey, that's great! Where?
- Charlie Bernard: Leming Letterman. That's corporate law. Downtown office.
