The Safe House - Wiretaps

Dr. Barnett: How did you escape?
Sydney: I'm sorry, but Agent Vaughn is missing and my telling Houdini stories to a CIA shrink, no offense, is pointless. No one should be worrying about me; it's him. We should all be looking for him.

Dr. Barnett: And you did all this with a bullet in your shoulder?
Sydney: Do you not believe me?
Dr. Barnett: It's impressive.
Sydney: Not really. One thing I've learned doing this; there's no drug like adrenaline.

Jack: Where the hell are you?
Sydney: I'm in the middle of Taipei. I just got free. Is Vaughn with you?
Jack: No, we haven't heard from him. Sydney, you have to get on this plane, now.
Sydney: Dad, I have to go back for him.
Jack: There's no time. The Taiwanese authorities will check this airstrip.
Sydney: I can't leave him behind. Hold the plane. I'm going back to the lab.
Jack: Sydney, wait!
Will: Who's Vaughn?

Dr. Barnett: Tell me about Vaughn.
Sydney: He's my CIA handler. For a long time, he was the only person I could trust. I think that still might be the case.

Jack: What happened to the guy who shot you
Sydney: There was no guy. It was Mom. And it didn't seem like she worked for Khasinau. It seems that Khasinau works for her.
Will: Um, excuse me. Did you say you were shot by your mother?
Jack: Sit down!

Jack: What did you write about SD- 6?!
Will: Nothing! Just a name! I don't even know what it is! I just heard the name! Why?! Do you know what it is?! Is it a group? Are they good? Are they bad? I mean, do you work with them?

Will: (in reaction to Syd's explanation of SD-6 and what she's doing) Seriously?!

Jack: You and I need to assume Dixon's reported you. The best move for us is for me to take full responsibility.
Sydney: What about Will?
Jack: (turns to Will) You're gonna have a hard time.

Sloane: You gave Sydney the call sign freelancer?
Jack: Yes, that's right.
Sloane: Why?
Jack: Because I didn't trust you. Consider it a paternal instinct. I'm only telling you now because of Tippen's article.
Sloane: I should have had Tippen killed months ago.
Jack: Tippen's kidnapping led us directly to Khasinau. Sydney destroyed their facility; now their organization is fractured. Those that that didn't lose their lives are on the run. This is an opportunity. I understand that I broke protocol, that the alliance would have me killed for what I've done. But if I weren't loyal to you, Arvin, to SD-6, I would have not returned.
Sloane: What about Tippin?
Jack: It's insignificant. He doesn't know anything. And you can't kill him now; it would only call attention. I will see to it that he never writes another article again.

Dixon: Sloane just talked to me. There are times in life when we don't listen to our heart, to what we know to be true. In those moments, we've lost who we are; we've betrayed ourselves. Questioning your loyalty, your virtue, was one of those lost times for me.

Weiss: Listen, about Vaughn, I'm praying, too.

Dr. Barnett: One more thing, you haven't said anything about your mother.
Sydney: What am I supposed to say? Something insightful? The first time I see my mother in twenty years, and she almost kills me, which would have made me the thirteenth CIA officer she's killed. She's former KGB. She's betrayed my father. She's betrayed me. She's betrayed this country. All anyone needs to know about that woman is that she's a bad guy.
Dr. Barnett: I think this was a good beginning.
Sydney: Like I said, I can handle the problems I've got.

Sydney: Ok, we're good at Stage One. The hors d'oeuvers are tasty.
Dixon: Don't forget now, you could always bring me back a few.

Sydney: Vaughn! You have to get up! We have to get out of here! C'mon! They're gonna be back in a second!
(Vaughn doesn't stir and Sydney looks through a cabinet.)
Vaughn: Syd?
Sydney: I am so sorry. I'm gonna shoot you with adrenaline. We have got to run.
Vaughn: Uhhh…don't do that. (Sydney injects him.) Ahhh!

Vaughn: Ow, that hurt!
Sydney: I'm sorry.
Vaughn: Don't be. Where are we?
Sydney: France.
Vaughn: France? Really? France?
Sydney: There's too much to explain. I have to get back before Dixon comes after me. You can get back to Los Angeles, right?
(Vaughn nods and smiles)
Sydney: What?
Vaughn: (big grin) You saved my life.
Sydney: (smiles) I'll see you back in L.A.

Dr. Barnett: So, the operation in France must have gone well. Your spirits seem lifted.
Sydney: The doctor said Vaughn's gonna be alright, so… (long pause) Ok, I see what you're thinking and the answer is no. There is no line being crossed. He's my handler. Vaughn and I have a professional relationship – that's it.
Dr. Barnett: Well, actually, I was thinking about your reporter friend.
Sydney: Oh.

Vaughn: When I was a kid, I was a swimmer. I could swim the 100 meters in 68 seconds. I can't tell you how irrelevant that was that night we were in Taipei. There have been some pretty incredible inventions over the past two thousand years, but none more incredible than the screwdriver, none. I thought I was home free, but they knocked me out. Next thing I knew, I was in France.
Sydney: When I saw you behind that window, I swear to God, I thought you were dead.

Sydney: Anything?
Vaughn: Not yet. So, hey, you know there's some really good restaurants in Barcelona.
Sydney: Yeah, I know.
Vaughn: You know what I was thinkin'?
Sydney: I think I do.
Vaughn: If we could actually be seen in public together, we'd hit the bible and we could get a bite.
Weiss: Yeah, can the whole team come, `cause I'm starving.
