Quotes 

• Michael Vaughn : Oh, by the way, I'm meeting with Will tomorrow to help him prep for his psych evaluation.

  Sydney Bristow : Thank you. And I like it.

  Michael Vaughn : What?

  Sydney Bristow : Your new suit.

  Michael Vaughn : Oh. It's not new. I just... don't wear it that often. I came from a funeral. Alice's father died.

• Will Tippin : You ever have a dream where you're back at school and they won't let you graduate because you failed a test? I had that last night.

  Michael Vaughn : Well, we don't screen for general knowledge. It's strictly a psych profile.

  Will Tippin : So I can't fail but I can find out I'm a sociopath.

• Will Tippin : I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but, um, if things go my way, what's next?

  Michael Vaughn : Well, you're cleared to read classified documents and you get a government salary. Which isn't much.

  Will Tippin : Compared to what I make now it's... much.

• Michael Vaughn : Devlin made it clear that we cannot, under any circumstances, allow SD-6 to access Echelon. And sabotaging the mission is too risky after Kashmir. Sloane could start to suspect something. We've considered every option, Syd, there's no other way to do this.

  Michael Vaughn : When you and Marshall return from London, we'll take him into protective custody. He'll be transported to Langley for an extensive debrief.

  Sydney Bristow : As ridiculous as this sounds, SD-6 is his whole life. It's never easy finding out everything you believe in is a lie.

  Michael Vaughn : We'll do whatever we can to make it easier for him, I promise. And when he adjusts, he'll have the option to come work for us.

• Sydney Bristow : Marshall has a photograpic memory. Once the files flash across the screen, he'll remember them.

  Michael Vaughn : Yes, we know that.

  Sydney Bristow : I can't just give SD-6 a fake Marshall!
