Setting: Near a bench in the park, meeting place of Vaughn and Sydney.
Vaughn: Hey.
Sydney: Hi.
Vaughn: Devlin wants you to follow through on Sloane's orders. Apparently, we're both after the same missing piece of code.
Sydney: You're kidding me.
Vaughn: Nope.
Sydney: You already knew about Rambaldi?
Vaughn: I didn't. The agency did. Davinci meets Nostredamus. Personally, I don't buy it.
Sydney: Tell the CIA clerk in Barcelona to prep for a dead drop. Worst case I'll encrypt the code on a radiohead MP3 and leave it on audiogalaxy.
Vaughn: How did Russian underground find out about Rambaldi?
Sydney: Hey you're the intel guy.
Vaughn: What can you tell me about this woman? Anna Espinosa?
Sydney: She was born in Cuba, raised in Russia. One of the last of the Cold War babies, go-to officer at KDirectorate for work and active measures. About a year ago, I had a meeting with an informant in Yugoslavia. Low level, just a guy with Intel who needed the money. Anna recorded the entire conversation with a parabolic mike from the building next door.
Vaughn: How do you know?
Sydney: Because as I was shaking his hand to leave, she blew the back of his skull with a sniper rifle, even though she got what she came for. Her way of telling me I was out of my league.
Vaughn: Be careful.
Sydney: I'll see you when I get back.
Vaughn: No, actually you won't. Uh, I'm being replaced by a senior officer. It seems I wasn't experienced enough to be your handler. It was really good to meet you. Good luck in Madrid.

Setting: Vaughn's office, meeting with Agent Weiss.
Vaughn: He's an idiot! I mean, that's- that's the problem. So- so is Davenport. They're so involved in their own bureaucratic
Agent Weiss: Protocol, I know.
Vaughn: You know who's replacing me?
Agent Weiss: Yes, Agent Lambert.
Vaughn: Agent Lambert! AGENT LAMBERT!!!
Agent Weiss: Can I say something, and not just as a fellow officer, but as a very smart man?
Vaughn: What?
Agent Weiss: You're starting to get a little too emotional about this.
Vaughn: Come on not this again.
Agent Weiss: You are. You are obviously attached to this woman.
Vaughn: This is your answer for everything.
Agent Weiss: If you were paying me to analyze you
Vaughn: Shut up! Stop it!
Agent Weiss: I've got to tell you, I'd actually say that maybe you're a little jealous.
Vaughn: Of Agent Lambert? Give me a break! I mean, the guy may be senior but he's junior, trust me.
Agent Weiss: And now he gets to see Sydney every week, and it's making you crazy.
Vaughn: Look this is not about me.
Agent Weiss: Yes it is.
Vaughn: No it's not!
She's going to Madrid. There's this other agent with KDirectorate. She could NOT sound more dangerous. I'm scared for Sydney. I know I'm off the case. But I want her to come back.
Agent Weiss: Well look there's nothing you can do about it, and you don't even know if this KDirectorate woman will be in Madrid. So, why worry?

Setting: Vaughn's Offce, meeting with Agent Lambert.
Agent Lambert: You sure wrote a hell of a lot about this Bristow girl. Anything else I need to know about her?
Vaughn: I think you'll find that Sydney is quite capable of speaking for herself.
Agent Lambert: Look at her. Wouldn't kick THAT out of bed.

Setting: Stadium in Berlin, Sydney is walking to meet Anna.
Sydney: Who am I talking to?
Vaughn: Your invisible friend.
Sydney: Good. Where are you?
Vaughn: Satellite relay station back in LA, watching you from a two hundred mile orbit.
Sydney: My guardian angel.
Vaughn: I was going to say the same thing to you. Thanks for the promotion.
Sydney: You're welcome.
Vaughn: Heads up.
