Michael Vartan: Michael Vaughn

Quotes 

• Michael Vaughn : [Vaughn is waiting for the elevator, you can tell he has something on his mind, it opens and Jack walks out]  How's Dixon?

  Jack Bristow : Same, Sydney and Nadia are there now.

  [Vaughn enters the elevator, it goes to close and Jack stops it] 

  Jack Bristow : You asked me a question earlier that I didn't get a chance to answer; properly...

  Michael Vaughn : I'd say the answer was loud and clear.

  Jack Bristow : We're more alike, than I'd care to admit; Agent Vaughn. And I realize now, that in disapproving of you, I was only hating my own limitations. I wasn't asking myself what would be best for Sydney. If you honestly believe that you can make my daughter happy, then by all means you have my blessing to marry her.

  Michael Vaughn : Okay then.

• Jack Bristow : [Hangs up phone]  As if weapon grade anthrax grows on trees.

  [to Vaughn] 

  Jack Bristow : What is it?

  Michael Vaughn : Oh if this is a bad time I can...

  Jack Bristow : No, please. After dealing with that Chechnyan lunatic for the past couple of hours, whatever business you have will be a welcome relief.

  Michael Vaughn : [Vaughn smirks to himself and walks towards jack desk]  Well we've umm... I know you're a man who... I know you're a man who respects tradition. As... as do I. And...

  Jack Bristow : Please just get to the point agent Vaughn.

  Michael Vaughn : I'm gonna ask Sydney to marry me and I'd like your blessing.

  Jack Bristow : Perhaps you believe my recent illness rendered me less incoherent than before or that my cogitative faculties have been somehow dulled or diminished. Allow me to clarify the facts for you Mr. Vaughn. While I've come to believe that you're not as useless as I first imagined. I still don't feel you have...

  [They are interrupted by loud sirens] 

• Marshall Flinkman : [Vaughn is looking at Jacks office heavily contemplating something and then finally takes a deep breath and starts walking. Marshall stops him]  Oh hey, Vaughn could you sign this? It's for Weiss, his grandfather died.

  Michael Vaughn : Yeah, actually can I do it in a little bit? I need to ask Jack something first.

  Marshall Flinkman : Oh sure, no problem.

  [Marshall starts walking to Jacks office with Vaughn] 

  Michael Vaughn : Where you going?

  Marshall Flinkman : Well I thought I'd go with you to get Mr. Bristow to sign this while we're in there.

  Michael Vaughn : Oh, you know what, actually I need to see him alone, it's kinda personal.

  Marshall Flinkman : Oh, uhh, since when can you tell Mr. Bristow something you can't tell me?

  Michael Vaughn : This is something that I need to ask *Jack*. If you were Sydney's father I could ask you, but... you're not.

  Marshall Flinkman : No... I'm not... I still don't understand, what me not being Sydney's father has to do with you...

  [Vaughn reaches into his pocket and pulls out a ring case, opens it and show an engagement ring to Marshall] 

  Michael Vaughn : Understand now?

  Marshall Flinkman : Oh my god, hey man congratulations! That's fantastic!

  Michael Vaughn : Thanks.

  Marshall Flinkman : I'm sure Mr. Bristow's going to be thrilled.

  Michael Vaughn : Really? I'm just hoping he doesn't shot me on the spot.
