| Sydney: Glug� glug� glug� Guard #1: What did she say? Guard #2: I dunno. Pull her head out of the toilet bowl for a second. Sydney: (gasps for breath) Guard #1: What did you say just then? Sydney: (still gasping) I said, �Can I please have a snorkel?� Guards: (stare) Sydney: �what? Why are you staring at my hair? Guard #1: It�s pink! Sydney: �yeah? Guard #2: But it�s� pink! Sydney: Are we done here? Guard #1: �it�s still pink. Sydney: Oh, for Christ�s sakes. Just handcuff me to the chair already! Sydney: Stupid essay. How am I supposed to know how much wood a woodchuck can chuck? Danny: �whoa, wait a second. Weren�t you just being tortured for information a second ago? And wasn�t your hair� pink? Sydney: Geeze, don�t you start. This is where we start the seemingly-never-ending tradition of 75% of the episode being a flashback. The hair colour change helps you tell what�s past and what�s present, see? Danny: �no. Sydney: Wahh. Danny: (incredibly off-key singing) Build me up, Buttercup, don�t break my heeeeeeeeart! Sydney: Owww! My ear drums are bleeding! Danny: So, will you marry me? Sydney: All right, but only on the condition that you get professional help with your singing. Danny: Something tells me I won�t have to worry about that for long� Francie: Oh wow, your ring is so sparkly and stuff! Your mum would be so proud! You know, the dead one? The one who died 20 years ago� Sydney: Yes, thank you Francie. I think we have established that my mother is dead. Francie: Just helping. Did you tell your dad? Sydney: Nope. Danny rang him to ask permission... Jack: (answers phone) Hello, Jack Bristow, �legitimate airplane parts exporter� speaking. Danny: �hang on! Hang on! Is this a flashback within a flashback?!? Jack: �did you call me for a reason? Danny: Oh, right. This is Danny. I wanted to get your permission to marry Sydney. Jack: �whaaa?!? Who is this? Danny: Danny. Danny Hecht. Sydney�s boyfriend? Jack: I think my daughter�s a little young to be getting married, Mr. Hecht. Hell, I�m surprised she�s dating at her age! Danny: �she�s 27! Jack: �really? Wow, I am a bad father. Danny: So can I marry her? Jack: Why are you asking me? Sydney doesn�t want anything to do with me these days. Danny: How come? Jack: (sighs) Oh, she�s still holding it against me for all the little things. Not having time to give her piggy-back rides. Not letting her play any video-game that wasn�t a first-person shoot-em-up. Always busy spying� er� spying on rival aircraft sales when I should have been spending time with her. But I think it all went downhill when I wouldn�t let her get a puppy. Danny: Well, she�s got Will now. Jack: Yeah, good point. Okay, okay, you can marry her. I�ll sign the permission slip. But no loud parties on Saturday nights. Danny: Spoilsport. Will: My pink-haired sister keeps on setting me up on all these blind dates, but I don�t like any of them. Sydney: That�s nice. Will: Hey look! Watch me take off my shirt and show off my chest! Sydney: Uh-huh. Hey, guess what? I�m getting married! Will: Maybe I�m being too subtle. Sloane: Sydney, I want you and Dixon to go to Taipei and see if their nasty government is building this. (holds up complicated looking diagrams) Sydney: What is it? Sloane: Damned if I know. But it looks funky. I want it. Sydney: Okay then. Hmmm� Taipei� do I speak the language? Sloane: You speak every language, dumbass. Marshall: Here�s a whole bunch of high-tech garbage to help you accomplish your mission! Just don�t try eating any of it like last time. Dixon: (whines) But I was hungry� Danny: (to Sydney�s stomach) How is a baby going to fit in there? Sydney: It�s the miracle of childbirth, honey. Danny: Yes, but in your stomach?!? You�re a friggin� twig! Sydney: I�m a secret agent. Danny: Don�t change the subject! Sydney: I have to go now. Business trip. Danny: Okay, I�ll call you tonight. Sydney: Can�t. I�ll have my phone off whilst I�m busy snooping. Danny: Okay, I�ll just blab to your answering machine about my feelings regarding your being a spy. Sydney: �Kay. Love you! Sydney: How come you�ve never told your wife, Dianne, about being a spy for SD-6? Dixon: You mean apart from the fact that Sloane would have her killed if I did? Sydney: Oh sure, if you want to use logic� Creepy Little Chinese Dude: You�d better have a good reason for snooping around the entrance to my top secret weapons lab! Sydney: Umm� I�m looking for the bathroom? C.L.C.D.: Let me check my reasons list� (pulls a notebook out of his pocket and checks) Okay, that�s fine then. Sloane: I have to kill Sydney�s fianc�e. Jack: Good. The little bastard thought he could get around my rules by throwing a loud party on a Sunday, but we�ll show him! Muwahahaha! Sloane: You scare me sometimes. Guard #1: Your hair�s pink again. Sydney: Then I guess we�re taking a break from the flashback for a moment. C.L.C.D.: Hello. I�m here to torture you. ^_^ Sydney: Oh poo. C.L.C.D.: Tell me who you work for, or else I get to start hurting you! Sydney: Okay, get a pen. Write down� E-M-E-T-I-B. C.L.C.D.: Aha! The Ethnic Masters of Economics, Tidiness, Inn-keeping and Business! Excellent! We shall launch a nuclear strike against them at dawn! Sydney�s brain: Should I tell him to reverse the letters? �naah. Assassin: Er, hi. I�m here to kill you. Danny: Just answer me one question. Is this part of the flashback again? *BANG* Danny: Ow. (thuds) Sydney: You killed the man I love! Sloane: No Agent Bristow, you did. Assassin: Ahh� sorry to be technical and all, but it was actually me. My bad! Dixon: Syd, you have to come back to work. It�s been 3 months. Sloane doesn�t trust you any more. He�ll smack you up! Sydney: Pfft. Sloane couldn�t smack up his dying-of-cancer wife. Dixon: Hey sshhh! The audience isn�t supposed to know about that yet! Sydney�s brain: (hiding in a car park from hired goons) Ha! I�ll trick those hired goons good! I�ve asked Francie to call me back, but I�m going to drop my phone here and make a run for it! (She does so. The phone rings, and one of the hired goons comes over, gun drawn) Hired Goon: Aww� (sighs and answers) Hello, Sydney�s phone? Dixon: Hi, you can please tell Sydney, �I told you so,� for me? Goon: No problem. Sydney: Daddy! You saved me! With the killing and the shooting and the reckless driving and the� Jack: Sydney, I work for SD-6. Sydney: Couldn�t you have chosen a less dramatic time to tell me that? Jack: Apparently not. Oh by the way, SD-6 are the bad guys. They�re part of the Alliance, not the CIA. Sydney: Huh. You�d think I�d be smart enough to figure that out myself, wouldn�t you? So who are the Alliance? Jack: They�re just the bad guys, okay? Geeze, why always with the questions? �Who are the Alliance? Is Santa Claus real? Did you really tell Danny he couldn�t throw loud parties?� Sydney: I just want to know what you have against loud parties. Jack: They bug me, okay? Now get out of the country before Sloane kills you. Sydney: Can I borrow your sister�s credit card? And her passport? Oh, and maybe one of her radioactive pink wigs? Will: Sure. Why not? Sydney: Okay, so here I am in Taipei. Now what? Random Bystander: Well whilst you�re here, why don�t you break into Creepy Little Chinese Dude�s lab and steal that funky looking doo-dad? Sydney: Ooh, good idea� I mean, hey! Don�t blow my cover! I�m supposed to be incognito! R.B.: Oh please. You really think you�ll blend into a crowd with that hair? Sydney: Hmm. Good point. Sydney: Owww! C.L.C.D.: What�s your problem? Sydney: You�ll pulled out one of my teeth! C.L.C.D.: Yeah. I enjoyed it. Sydney: Well, it did look like fun� (flips the chair over, landing on C.L.C.D. and pulling the handcuff keys from his pocket. She frees herself, then picks up the pointiest looking torture device.) Can I give it a try? C.L.C.D.: Mummy! Sydney: Okay, I�ve got Creepy Little Chinese Dude�s funky looking doo-dad. Now I should really blow up his top-secret weapons lab� but how? Goon #1: Hold it right there! Sydney: Ahh, hired goons. Always there when you need them. (turns on a gas stove) Goon #1: (sniffs) You smell something? Goon #2: Yeah, I do! We should shoot it! Goon #1: Okay! KER-BLAMMO!!! Sydney: Here�s your stupid funky looking doo-dad. Now will you stop trying to kill me already? Sloane: You didn�t say the magic word� Sydney: Grrr� Sydney: Can I be a double agent please? Vaughn: Sure. Sign here, here and here, then write down your life story. Weiss: Ah, I�ve finally made it into a scene! Now I get to show off the full range of my secret agent talents! Vaughn: Weiss, get Sydney another pen, will ya? Weiss: Wahh. Jack: Guess what? I�m a double agent too! Sydney: You�re just full of surprises, aren�t you? Jack: Gas too. My doctor says I need to change my diet. Sydney: That I did not need to know. |
