ALIAS

What to do on New Year's Eve. This is a question I usually ask myself every year. What I always end up doing is just hanging out with friends or around the house during the day and at midnight I either have fallen asleep or I am watching TV only to look at the clock and it is 12:15. I'm not a much of a drinker or party person so my tradition of doing nothing suits me just fine. So while I was thinking of what I was going to do all day I looked over at the book I wanted to finish and the complete series of Alias that I own. And I decided to do both. So after I finished my book I started to re-watch Alias starting in the middle of season 1.

Now if you haven't seen Alias you need to. It is about spy named Sydney Bristow. And let me tell you it is addicting. It is one of the shows that my sister got me addicted to. When I decided to watch it again to waste some time I thought I would watch one maybe two episodes. Three one and a half seasons later and I am still watching Alias while writing this. That is how addicting this show is. There are so many cliff hangers that there is no way to not watch at least one whole season. The series only has five seaons and the first two maybe three are the best. The show starts lacking in the forth season and seriously lacks is the fifth but is still worth watching. I have rewatched the entire series completely at least three times now going to be four. This is one of the many shows that I think everybody should watch at least once.

Here are a couple of quotes that I love from the show: quotes from imdb.com   I kinda went a little overboard with the quotes but I was drunk on Alias all day and I liked so many that I had to put them in!


Vaughn: Let's take things one step at a time. This is a charge of C4. I can tell because there's 'C4' written all over it.


[Marshall has accidentally shot a man; they need the man's eyes for a retinal scan. Marshall digs into one eye with a letter opener]
Agent Marshall Flinkman: Oh god. It's oozing. It's oozing everywhere, sir.
Agent Jack Bristow: [via cell phone] That means you've ruptured the macula. The eye is useless, abandon it. Approach the second one gently, like a soft-boiled egg. You're going to need a digging instrument to assist with this.
Agent Marshall Flinkman: [looks in a drawer] I've got a spork.
Agent Jack Bristow: [bewildered] What's a spork?
Agent Marshall Flinkman: It's like a half-spoon... half-fork, will that do?
Agent Jack Bristow: That will work.


Agent Marshall Flinkman: Syd, this guy buried you alive.
Sydney: Yeah, but he cheated, he hit me with a car first!



Weiss: Jack is going to shoot you in the face.
Vaughn: Just give me a half-hour head start. Tell him that she called your phone and you gave it to me. We only have ten hours to find Kaplan.
Weiss: If we end up sharing a cell in federal prison, I'm not giving you a drawer.



Francie: "Dear Aunt Stephanie. Unfortunately, as my mother has informed you, the wedding is off so I am returning your kind gift of a coffee maker because, as it turns out, the man to whom I was engaged is a deceitful, two-faced, sex-crazed jackass. All my love, Francie."
Sydney: It's not too harsh.




Vaughn: Now, the guys say it's bitchin, so I assume it's... bitchin.
Sydney: I just wanted to rip his finger right off again. Does that make me a bad person?


Sydney: Why does that guy have such a guilty look on his face?
Francie: Yesterday, Ginger told Rod that Gavin was Ruby's pimp, but Rod didn't even know that Ruby was a prostitute...
Sydney: Who's Gavin?
Francie: Ruby's father.
Sydney: Ew.


Sydney: I'm gonna shoot you with adrenaline - we have got to run.
Vaughn: No. Don't do that.



[Sydney and Marshall have just talked their way past a security post]
Sydney: What did you say to him?
Agent Marshall Flinkman: [nervous] I don't know. I think it was "Go away I can smell you from here" in Ewok.



Vaughn: Are you romantically interested in anyone?
[She looks at him weirdly]
Vaughn: It could be a question.
Sydney: No, I'm not.
[Machine jumps to 56]
Vaughn: Interesting.
Sydney: Wait, ask me that again.
Vaughn: No, I don't have to. We have our answer right here. That's very good. Moving on.



[about Kendall]
Agent Jack Bristow: Legally he's right, Ethically he's an ass.


Vaughn: You're probably gonna say no to this, but I wanna go to India.
Kendall: Go.
Vaughn: "Go"? What... Are you trying to get rid of me?


Sydney: You didn't think about it. Not once. The possibility that Rambaldi could be right about me.
Vaughn: No. I didn't.
Sydney: Why not?
Vaughn: Because I believe in you. Do you think I'd just throw anyone in my trunk?



Vaughn: Yeah... I'll break into the Vatican with you.


[the assassin Sark is introduced as an ally]
Marshall: Hi. Welcome. Don't kill me.

Weiss: Okay, whenever you want to have that talk...
Vaughn: What talk?
Weiss: About the cologne or whatever the hell you're wearing.
Vaughn: I'm not wearing cologne.
Weiss: Well, something's going on. No man naturally smells as good as you do right now.

[talking about Sydney]
Weiss: So she gave you a drawer, huh?
Vaughn: It was a gesture of convenience.
Weiss: And, uh, what did you put it in?
Vaughn: Why do you care?
Weiss: What do you mean, why do I care? Do you know how spoiled you are? You know, a drawer! I wish I had a girlfriend to say 'Hey, do you want a drawer?'
Vaughn: I'll give you a drawer at my place.
Weiss: I don't want a drawer at your place.



Sydney: You know any jokes? Because I could use one.
Vaughn: This grasshopper walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, we have a drink named after you." And the grasshopper says...
Sydney: You have a drink named Doug?
Vaughn: Well, I was gonna use Phil
