- Michael Vaughn: Sydney spoke to you...
- Jack Bristow: All I ask is that you hear me out.
- [Vaughn nods and looks down]
- Jack Bristow: My marriage with Irina, in spite of everything, was a happy time for me; it was easy being with her. There were times, moments, when I become curious, how would she occupy her morning, what were her plans while I was out of town. Usually she told me, but occasionally she'd stop what she was doing, walk over and offer me a kiss; A spontaneous gesture. But on one occasion it struck me, this impulsive kiss, what if it was an evasion; camouflaging the truth in an expression of love. Of course I dismissed my concern immediately, merely my professional paranoia. After all she was my wife I don't regret having married her. I have Sydney because of our time together. What I do regret is that once I saw signs of her duplicity, once I sensed her betrayal, I chose to ignore it. All I'm asking is that you be responsive to the signs if and when they present themselves.
- Michael Vaughn: You never respected me. Never thought I was worthy of your daughter. So I'm not surprised you're so quick to think Lauren is betraying me. But whether or not you or Sydney believe me, I know the life I'm living, and I know the woman I am married to. Lauren is not Irina, and I am definitely not you.
- Eric Weiss: You know, Syd, nobody would blame you for hating him for going back to her.
- Sydney Bristow: He's not the one I hate. How horrible does that sound?
- Eric Weiss: Well I'm mad at her, and I don't even think he's that cute.
- Sydney Bristow: My dad thinks Lauren's leaking information to the Covenant.
- Eric Weiss: I don't understand... didn't Senator Reed confess to being the leak before he died?
- Sydney Bristow: Yes, and his confessions answered all the questions my father had raised. But I can't help it, I still have doubts.
- Eric Weiss: All right, let me ask you a question: do you think she's the mole, or do you just want her to be the mole?
- Marshall Flinkman: [to Sydney and Vaughn] Don't worry because lucky for you, I kind of have a name in the hacker community myself...
- [sotto]
- Marshall Flinkman: 'black kitty'.
- Sydney Bristow: Are we sure he'll have his computer with him?
- Marshall Flinkman: Does a cowboy leave his gun at home when he goes to the saloon? Trust me, he'll have it.
- Kazari Bomani: This girl, her work for us of late has been uneven.
- Julian Sark: The Il Dire machine is in our possession because she managed to steal it from the CIA. She is a considerable asset.
- Kazari Bomani: [skeptical] An asset for you in ways that do not interest me.
- Michael Vaughn: Lauren, no one's judging you.
- Lauren Reed: I've seen the way they look at me... like I'm a traitor too. To tell you the truth, I don't blame them.
- Michael Vaughn: People are just angry.
- Lauren Reed: And I'm not? He was my father! You have no idea what it's like to think you know someone, to love them, and then figure out it was nothing but lies.
- Cypher: Nice trick. Looks like I'll have to readjust my firewall settings.
- Sydney Bristow: I could still get through.
- Michael Vaughn: What, are you suggesting Lauren framed her own father?
- Sydney Bristow: I know it's hard for you to consider.
- Michael Vaughn: Hard for me? My wife just found out her father was betraying her, not to mention our country.
- Sydney Bristow: But if I saw her...
- Michael Vaughn: You didn't.
- Jack Bristow: What about Vaughn?
- Sydney Bristow: I've tried talking to him about it. He won't even entertain the possibility. It's like he can't hear it.
- Jack Bristow: Perhaps he can't hear it from you.
- Lauren Reed: [on the phone] What else did Bomani tell you? Did he instruct you in the quietest way to murder me?
- Julian Sark: Absolutely not.
- Lauren Reed: You pathetic little errand boy. Tell Bomani he'll get proof of my worth the next time he sees me, when I deliver the Passenger.
- Marcus Dixon: You recall that I requested Dr. Barnett's notes from her sessions with Sloane?
- Jack Bristow: Yes. Did they reveal anything?
- Marcus Dixon: Yes. There is something in the notes that concerns you. In one of his sessions with Barnett, Sloane admitted having an affair with Irina while you were married.
- Lauren Reed: [to Vaughn] You have no idea what it's like to think you know someone, to love them and then figure out it was nothing but lies.
- Lauren Reed: I'm looking forward to a nice weekend alone.
- Michael Vaughn: Me too
- [pauses]
- Michael Vaughn: So what did you do while I was gone?
- [Lauren stops what she was doing and saunters over to Vaughn and kisses him]
- Lauren Reed: I missed you. I'm going to run a bath.
- [Vaughn has a pained look on his face, and then begins to search thru Laurens things. He finds a secret compartment in her suitcase with a red and black wig, guns and a passport]
