- Michael Vaughn: Let's just take this one step at a time. This is a charge of C-4. I can tell, 'cause it says "C-4" everywhere.
- Will Tippin: Being a reporter sucks. Can I just establish that?
- Francie Calfo: Okay.
- Will Tippin: Hi.
- Francie Calfo: Hi, and what have we been drinking?
- Will Tippin: Uh, I don't know. It was something with a little horse on the label. Or a dog, I don't know. Some mythical creature condemned to live in a bottle for the rest of eternity. Doghorse, it's a doghorse. Did I mention that my life sucks? Did I mention that?
- Marcus Dixon: You okay?
- Marshall Flinkman: [blood is running down his head] Except for my head injury, yeah.
- C.I.A. Agent Steven Haladki: Any irregularities at all?
- Michael Vaughn: What, you mean other than a desperate message from an agent begging for help?
- [Sydney and Vaughn attempt to defuse one of the explosive charges]
- Sydney Bristow: You studied bomb defusing at Langley?
- Michael Vaughn: Just seminar style, nothing field specific.
- Sydney Bristow: Does anyone ever learn anything at seminars?
- Sydney Bristow: I'm here.
- McKenas Cole: You are the badass that's been killing my men? I don't know I... I just kinda thought you'd be an ugly guy.
- Eric Weiss: If I found out that you screwed Vaughn, you do understand this : your ass is mine.
- C.I.A. Agent Steven Haladki: I am not scared of you.
- Eric Weiss: You should start being scared of me.
- McKenas Cole: [hasn't heard from Chen] I feel like I'm a mom at the mall! He said he was going down to the sub-basement. I don't know if his walkie's not working, if he's on a coffee break...
- McKenas Cole: Dear person, beating up my men. I assume that you're an employee here. I am now standing in Sloane's tastefully minimalistic office. And if you're not here, standing in front of me in the next 20 seconds, I'm going to start executing your friends, starting with the man that I assume to be your partner... Mr. Jack Bristow.
- Arvin Sloane: So easy for you to blame me, huh? When you know the truth. You got your own men killed. That helicopter was waiting for you...
- McKenas Cole: I had a man down! I was saving Whitney's life. You know that!
- Arvin Sloane: Yeah, at the expense of all the other men. Those men counted on you to lead them to safety. They trusted their life to you and you led them to slaughter.
- Eric Weiss: And what if there has been a takeover?
- Michael Vaughn: [gets his gun out of his locker and loads it] If I'm not back in a couple of hours, I'm probably dead.
- Eric Weiss: Good to know.
- Sydney Bristow: Dixon contacted you?
- Michael Vaughn: Not directly. Through Langley. Said SD-6 was under attack. Are you okay?
- Sydney Bristow: It's true. There's a team of six, maybe seven. They've got the latest military specs. They're after something in the vault.
- McKenas Cole: [to Sydney] I know you didn't wanna kiss me, but when I was taking a hit off that bottle before, I backwashed in it. I mean, like, really big-time.
- McKenas Cole: [to Sydney] Yeah, you didn't want to kiss me, but working for a scumbag like Sloane, that's alright by you. Well, let me tell you something about that weasel boss of yours, he will disappoint you one day, and I hope to God I'm there when that day happens, you will hate him.
- [Sydney and Vaughn find one of the explosive fail-safes]
- Michael Vaughn: There's got to be at least 200 Lbs. here, enough to level the building.
- Sydney Bristow: It's a fail-safe, Sloane has 3 of these rigged to the vault in case...
- Michael Vaughn: 3?
- Sydney Bristow: The doors opens they all blow.
- Michael Vaughn: Then maybe they shouldn't open the vault.
- Sydney Bristow: *They* being the 6 men with machine guns.
- McKenas Cole: You know... for a lot of guys it's their socks, their piece, their guns, their bullets custom hollow tips, but for me I have always sucked my luck from a bottle of champagne.
- Francie Calfo: [to Will] Well, if I were you and if I thought I may be able to help somebody, I would.
- McKenas Cole: [to Sydney] See, the problem with you kickboxers, ain't none of y'all can take a punch!
- [punches her]
- Sydney Bristow: [to McKenas Cole] I think you're right. Taking a punch is something I gotta learn how to do.
- [kicks him]
- Will Tippin: [holding a black wig] I thought I looked like Gabe Kaplan.
- Kelly McNeil: Who's that?
- Will Tippin: Doesn't matter.
- [Sloane can't go to his office to defuse a bomb due to him being cuffed]
- Arvin Sloane: You could take my fingerprint.
- Marcus Dixon: [both tied to chairs] A failsafe's been activated. If the vault's opened, it will detonate C-4 charges hidden throughout the building's sublevel. Sydney has a chance to disarm them, but only if there are *no* surprises.
- Marcus Dixon: All the more reason we need to call Langley. Jack, under normal conditions you can pull rank. These are not normal conditions.
