The Moments

Because he recruits her as a double agent (1.1)


Because even Weiss can see Vaughn cares for Sydney (1.2)
Vaughn nervously sitting at desk, fidgeting with a coin. Sydney is on a mission.
Weiss: Any word from her yet?
V: No, I don’t expect to hear anything from her till she gets back.
W: Your girlfriends’ name is Alice.
V: Will you shut up.
W: I’m just checking.
V: Get out of my office.

Because Sydney demands Vaughn become her handler again. (1.3)
Lambert: Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
Sydney: I know exactly who I'm talking to. Tell Devlin if Agent Vaughn isn't on the either end of this earpiece when I turn it on, the C.I.A. gets nothing.

Because Vaughn is her guardian angel… (1.3)


Sydney: Who am I talking to?
Vaughn: Your invisible friend.
S: Good. Where are you?
V: Satellite relay station back in LA, watching you from a 200-mile orbit.
S: (Looking at the sky) My guardian angel.

Because of the car wash scene (1.7)
At car wash
S: You sure you’re okay?
V: Yeah. I just –
S: Did you have a fight with your wife?
V: My what?
S: Your wife
V: What wife? I have no wife.
S: No? There was a picture in your office – you and that woman. I thought you were married.
V: She and I are not remotely – you thought I was married this whole time?
S: I guess so. What’s the big deal?
V: Nothing.

V: Why’d you ask me if I’d had a fight with my girlfriend?
S: I don’t know. Did you?
V: Huge.
S: (grins)
Because Sydney has Vaughn’s number. (1.4)


VAUGHN: (To Sydney) Okay, listen to me. There's something you need to know. When you first walked into my office with that stupid Bozo hair, I thought you were crazy. I thought you might actually be a crazy person. But I watched you, and I read your statement, and I've seen... I've seen how you think, I've seen how you work, I've seen how you are in this job. In this job, you see darkness. You see the worst in people and though the jobs are different and the missions change, and the enemies have a thousand names, the one crucial thing, the one real responsibility you have is to not let your rage, and your resentment, and your disgust, darken you. When you're at your absolute lowest, at your most depressed, just remember that you can always... you know. You got my number.

Because even Jack sees the tensions between them 1.07

Vaughn: Sydney's life is worth the risk!
Jack: Not to Sydney! Taking them down is what gets her up in the morning. Or... did you think it was those meetings she has with you?

Because he bought her a Christmas present 1.10


Vaughn: (embarrassed) I don't know. I was in this store, you know, um... this little antique place.
Sydney: (big smile) What were you doing in an antique store?
Vaughn: I don't know. (laughs nervously) Whatever. Um, look, if you don't like it just... don't tell me.


Because Vaughn wants to go to a hockey game with her 1.14


Vaughn: Yeah. Last week, when you talked about quitting SD-6--
Sydney: I was being naive.
Vaughn: No, but, um, what you said about wanting to go to a hockey game... wanting me to be part of your life... I, uh, I think I wasn't clear about something. (pause) That it would be nice to be in public with you, to actually get to look at you. Grab a pizza or go to a hockey game. I-I just... I wasn't clear that I would really like that, too.

Because Vaughn wants to break into the Vatican with her 1.16

Sydney: We'd have to leave tonight. You in?
Vaughn: (shy smile) Yeah. I'll break into the Vatican with you.

Because he believes in her … and he’ll throw her in his trunk 1.17

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?

Because Vaughn is about a mile across “that” line. 1.21

Weiss: I don't want your thanks. I want it to stop.
Vaughn: Look, Sydney's my responsibility . . .
Weiss: Mike, I'm not going to trivialize your relationship with her by calling it a crush . .
Vaughn: A crush?
Weiss: But whatever it is, it's starting to affect me and if that sounds selfish to you, I was hoping to retire fully vested. I know you genuinely care for her. I do, too. But there is a line that we have been sworn not to cross. We're about a mile past that.
Vaughn: I don't know how to be Sydney's handler without making it personal.
Weiss: Figure out a way.

Because he knows all her favorite spots and tracks her down 1.22


Sydney: Hi. How did you find me?
Vaughn: You told me a couple of months ago that when you feel the need to disappear, you go to the observatory. But the observatory was closed. And then I remembered you said the pier calms you down. But you weren't there. And you weren't at the bluffs and the palisades, either.
Sydney: You didn't really go to all those places.
Vaughn: Yeah, I did. And then I remembered you liked the train station, too. Normal people going to their normal jobs.
Sydney: I can't believe you remember that.

Because he is her ally, never question that.


V: Good. Listen, as far as your mother's concerned, it's ridiculous for you to worry about me. I mean, I'm fine. What she did to my father, I can handle. But when I heard what your father did, coming to see you like that, I realized how insane it must be for him, having your mother back in his life. Which only concerned me because that means he's not making it any easier for you. So before you leave for Moscow I just wanted to say that you might feel alone in all this, like you don't have an ally. (pause) I'm your ally. Never question that.

Because he held her while she cried


Because his watched stopped the day they met 2.8


Vaughn: This watch belonged to my father. It's broken now, but it used to keep perfect time. And when he gave it to me, he said, "You could set your heart by this watch." It stopped October 1st: the day we met. (Sydney is about to respond when her pager goes off, then Vaughn's goes off as well. They look to see who it is.) Kendall.
Sydney: Me too.

[FONT=Georgia]Because he gives her tickets to play mini golf so that he can watch her and Will and Francie play (2.9)


SYDNEY: Hi.
VAUGHN: Hey.
SYDNEY: Any word on the flower?
VAUGHN: Preliminary analysis indicates that it's anywhere from four to six hundred years old. (Syd gives him a look)
VAUGHN: Like I said, preliminary.
(He smiles at her and gives her something.)
SYDNEY: What's this?
(She looks at the mini golf tickets he's given her. Great smile.)
Sydney, Will and Francie all play mini golf together. Sydney's jogging around, having fun. Vaughn watches from nearby, smiling. Sydney laughs and takes another shot. Vaughn leaves.

Because he watches her sleep


S: Hi.
V: Hey.
S: Did you close your eyes at all?
V: On and off. You talk in your sleep.
S: No! What did I say?
V: "Don't frost the pie!" It seemed really important.

Because she was there for him through his sickness




Because Syd admits to Francie that she has a crush on a guy at work.(2.11)

(At Francie's restaurant, Syd and Fracie stitting there, drinking a cup of coffee and talking)
FRANCIE: What?
SYDNEY: I have a crush on a guy from work.
FRANCIE: Really? Who is he?
SYDNEY: Someone in my department. We've worked together for about a year now.
FRANCIE: You're kidding me. What's his name?
SYDNEY: Michael. And he's... I don't know how to describe him. He's smart... and he's funny. He's so cute.
FRANCIE: Hot cute, not goofy cute?
SYDNEY: Hot cute.

Because they actually go to dinner together (2.12)


Vaughn: The nearest Alliance cell is in Zurich. The CIA tracks SD-6 security section. There haven't been any signals, no movement.
Sydney: You're serious.
Vaughn: We've been to restaurants and sat near each other. We've met in parks and convenience stores, and all of them in LA where we are much more likely to be seen. Look, two things -- one, I think it's not that great a risk and two, I am hungry. I'm starving. I mean, we're going to be together anyway, why can't we be eating? Aren't you hungry?
Sydney: Yeah, I'm hungry. (Pauses) Let's do it.
