- Vaughn: [Weiss and Vaughn are running thru the park] Lauren's parents have been married for thirty four years, and they still love being together. I had one day off this month, and I spent it playing Hockey at the ring with High School kids.
- Eric Weiss: That must be fun.
- [They stop running and sit down on a bench. They both pause for a few moments while Vaughn thinks]
- Vaughn: If I need it, can I crash on your couch?
- Eric Weiss: Yeah... you just have to wipe off the Cheese Nips.
- Sydney Bristow: Vaughn, I am sad for you. For you and Lauren. That you have to go through this. But I'm also hopeful. That's what scares me.
- Vaughn: I understand.
- [They pause]
- Vaughn: When we get home... Wanna get a cup of coffee?
- Sydney Bristow: Yeah...
- Lauren Reed: Michael, I got you something while you were gone, open it.
- [He opens up a box to find his father's watch inside]
- Lauren Reed: I realized I forgot the anniversary of your father's death and I felt terribly, and I wanted to do something special to make up for it. It's the watch he gave you, I had it fixed.
- Vaughn: This isn't working.
- Lauren Reed: It's not...
- Vaughn: Not the watch, us... This isn't working for me. I'm not happy.
- Lauren Reed: I see...
- Vaughn: I don't know, I guess for a while I thought I could be... again.
- [pauses]
- Vaughn: But I don't think that's going to happen. I think we should separate.
- Lauren Reed: This is about Sydney, isn't it?
- Vaughn: No it isn't.
- Lauren Reed: Did she give you an ultimatum?
- Vaughn: This is about us, our problems.
- Lauren Reed: She is our problem! Michael, if you're going to destroy my life, the least you can do is be honest about why you're doing it!
- Vaughn: [to Sydney] Lauren and I are separating. When we get home I'm on Weiss's couch.
- Sydney Bristow: Are you sure that's what you really want?
- Vaughn: It is.
- Vaughn: You know these never have to see the surface.
- Sydney Bristow: What do you mean?
- Vaughn: If what's in the Rambaldi box is a danger to you, and these keys are the only way to open it... Maybe they should be destroyed.
- Sydney Bristow: Thank you for saying that.
- Vaughn: [Vaughn sneaks out of bed with Lauren to call Sydney] Sorry about how I got pulled away earlier.
- Sydney Bristow: How is she?
- Vaughn: It's hard, dealing her father's death and betrayal.
- Sydney Bristow: Are you at Eric's?
- Vaughn: No...
- Sydney Bristow: I see... Well I guess we won't be getting that cup of coffee.
- Vaughn: No were not...
- Sydney Bristow: Okay... I'm gonna go...
- Vaughn: Syd...
- [Sydney hangs up the phone and begins to cry. Vaughn goes back to bed and Lauren opens her eyes and smiles]
- Arvin Sloane: In order to maintain my cover, I had to grant Bomani access to certain Omnifam resources. Check the report, Sydney. I detailed all of this.
- Sydney Bristow: You're here because you committed treason by spying on your country. I won't put much stock in your reports.
- Arvin Sloane: Ah, you have such a beautiful smile, Sydney. I miss it.
- Sydney Bristow: If you're executed, I'll be a witness. I'll smile then.
- Julian Sark: Have you been made?
- Lauren Reed: Of course not. If he knew I was Covenant he would arrest me, not break up with me.
- Lauren Reed: My access extends beyond my husband.
- Julian Sark: Perhaps, but Vaughn is central to the CIA's efforts regarding The Passenger, so you must do everything possible to keep him close.
- Jack Bristow: All I have is a paper trail. Not definitive proof but the beginning of what Director Dixon and I believe to be a strong case for the existence of a mole.
- Senator Reed: Other than Sloane.
- Jack Bristow: Or instead of him. At this point, that is unclear.
- Senator Reed: Is it that hard to identify a traitor? Honestly, sometimes I think you people just get too close.
- Jack Bristow: I understand this is difficult.
- Senator Reed: No, no, it's not, because there is nothing here. Lauren is a patriot, and I will not allow you to ruin her reputation based on innuendo and supposition!
- Marcus Dixon: We've looked everywhere on Earth.
- Arvin Sloane: Really, Marcus? Have you? Or is it simply that you've looked everywhere on land?
- Marshall Flinkman: Okay, now this is what I was looking at. That's your basic land mass. But then if I compare the topography with oceanic mapping... heh, Sloane is a genius.
- [Sydney looks at Marshall funny]
- Marshall Flinkman: I mean an evil, horrible genius. Bad man genius. But still, genius.
- Senator Reed: t'd break your mother's heart if she ever found out about this.
- [He shows her the file Jack gave him]
- Senator Reed: . I know because it broke mine.
- Lauren Reed: If it's any consolation, I feel the cause I'm working for is just.
- Senator Reed: I could tell the Agency I learned there was a mole in the Rotunda six months ago, and that I've been conducting my own investigation. I'm a Senator on the Intelligence Committee. No one would say a word.
- Lauren Reed: You would do that for me?
- Senator Reed: Of course I would... I love you.
- Kazari Bomani: [to Sydney] I could never have found this without your help. I thank you for that... You remind me of your mother. I'm sure she would be pleased to know I got the keys from you. After all, the passenger is Irina's legacy.
