Season 5Memorable QuotesSuit: Who are you working for? I'll not ask you again. Sydney: Okay. Get a pen. Write this down. E M E T I B. You got that? Suit: Yes. Sydney: Okay. Now reverse it. "Forgive me for being forthright, or female, but this is the way it's going to be." "Time is a factor here. You know how much time? Seven years. That's how long I worked for SD-6 before I found out who they really are. And now that I know, my days of blindly following orders are over." "The irony is they never lied to me about what would happen if I told someone. It was the one thing they said that turned out to be true. Now I'm a double agent for the C.I.A. and I will be until SD-6 is gone." After mom died, I used to have these daydreams. I would imagine her leading my girl scout troop or taking me shopping for new school clothes. I thought if only she'd lived, she would have been my best friend. When I learned the truth about her, and saw Irina for who she truly was, I was devastated. I won't make the same mistake twice. "I understand why you're reluctant. You're number eight on the CIA's most wanted list, I get it. But you have to understand: these people killed my fiance, the father of my child. I'm going to enlist every resource available to immobilize them, and if that means that this is the last time you and I see each other, that is fine by me. Just tell me how you want to do it." Vaughn: We're not gonna make it out of here. There's something I need you to know. Sydney: Vaughn... Vaughn: In my life, there's only one person... Sydney: Don't do this. Vaughn: Look at me. Sydney: Vaughn... Vaughn:: The only reason I pushed you away... Sydney: Please... Vaughn: The only reason I didn't know how to be around you... (hear marching) Sydney: They're coming. Vaughn: Sydney... Sydney: I know, Vaughn. I know. We'll find each other. We always find each other.
