Jennifer Garner: Sydney Bristow

Quotes 

• Sydney Bristow : Vaughn?

  Michael Vaughn : How come you never call me Michael?

  Sydney Bristow : I call you Michael sometimes.

  [pause] 

  Sydney Bristow : Vaughn.

• Sydney Bristow : I'm graduating today.

  Michael Vaughn : What? When the hell did you have time to take a class this year?

  Sydney Bristow : I wasn't even going to go to the ceremony but... And I've been lying here remembering why I never gave school up and why I killed myself writing papers instead of... I don't know, accepting that I'd be an agent forever.

  Michael Vaughn : You're going to quit the CIA, aren't you?

• Sydney Bristow : I'm thinking about leaving the CIA. Which would mean giving up my clearance to see you.

  Irina Derevko : You're too forgiving, Sydney. Don't pretend I'm something I'm not. I've never been a real mother to you and... you don't owe me a second chance. If you make this decision about me, you're a fool. In fact, if you decide to stay I won't agree to see you anymore. Take care of yourself.

• Sydney Bristow : [on the phone]  Hello?

  Arvin Sloane : Congratulations, Sydney. You have so many things to celebrate today. I, myself, am still coping with the pain and disappointment of learning that you and Jack were double agents. The two people I trusted most in the world.

• Arvin Sloane : You don't really think it was a coincidence that I happened to be away these past two weeks, do you? The intel that you acquired that allowed the CIA to take down the Alliance... I provided that. My involvement with the Alliance is merely a means to an end.

  Sydney Bristow : Why are you telling me this?

  Arvin Sloane : Because knowing that I'm alive is going to tempt you to come after me. Don't. We've helped set each other free, Sydney. And as much as I wish you well, I will end your life if you get in my way.

• Marcus Dixon : How long have you known?

  Sydney Bristow : Two years. I wanted to tell you so many times, but I was ordered not to. The CIA had no way to verify what I knew in my heart was true... that you would never consider working for a man like Arvin Sloane.

  Marcus Dixon : We were partners. You lied to me, then chose to tell me the truth when it was convenient for you. I never want to see you again.
