Because he cannot sleep at night thinking about her (2.13)


Sydney: What?
Vaughn: I think you know what.
Sydney: I need you to tell me.
Vaughn: You need me to tell you what? That when you're on operations, I can't sleep at night. That when we're in debrief I have to force myself to remember what the hell we're supposed to be reviewing. When all I want to do is kiss you.

Because of their first kiss (2.13)



Because he broke up with Alice (2.14)
Sydney: About last night ...
Vaughn: Is this going to be about Alice?
Sydney: I know it's complicated ...
Vaughn: We're not together anymore.
Sydney: Since when?
Vaughn: Since this morning. The truth is, we've been over for a long time.


Because he loves her place


V: Nice place.
S: I'm gonna get a new couch.
V: Yeah?
S: Well, I don't know...
V: So this is where you live.
S: This is where I live.
V: I love it.


Because dinner can wait so that they can make love for the first time (2.14)


Vaughn: You're so beautiful.
Sydney: Dinner's ready.
Vaughn: You do have an oven. You know, we can reheat.

Because they wake up in bed together (2.15)


SYDNEY: Vaughn?
VAUGHN: How come you never call me Michael?
SYDNEY: I do sometimes. Vaughn?
VAUGHN: What?
SYDNEY: I'm graduating today.
VAUGHN: What? When the hell did you have time to take a class this year?
SYDNEY: I wasn't even going to go to the ceremony but... And I've been lying here remembering why I never gave school up and why I killed myself writing papers instead of... I don't know, accepting that I'd be an agent forever.
VAUGHN: You're going to quit the CIA, aren't you?

Because they are cute and hot




Because she never had anyone to disappoint, until him.



S:I never had anyone to disappoint. That's different now. I'm sorry.

Because she offers him the middle drawer. (2.19)


Sydney: Vaughn. I mean, okay. The backpack is getting a little ridiculous.
Vaughn: What do you mean?
Sydney: (she points to her bureau) The middle drawer. It's yours.


Because they finally got to play hockey


Because he wants to take her to Santa Barbara (2.22)


(Hockey rink. Sydney and Vaughn.)
Sydney: I'm just so relieved for him, it's like I can breathe again.
Vaughn: You know where it's fun to breathe? Santa Barbara. You ever been?
Sydney: Yeah, I love it. The zoo, that giraffe with the crooked neck.
Vaughn: No, I mean, the beach, the Biltmore, the food. La Superica -- you ever been there?
Sydney: No.
Vaughn: Okay, we're going this weekend.
Sydney: Yeah, come on, as if we can go. There'll be some emergency, some--
(A cell rings.)

Because he held her when she was lost.


Because he was so in love with her, it nearly killed him.


S: On the off chance that your hesitation is out of some courtesy to me...you can forget about it. I...I mean... I can handle you being there. Don't worry about me.
V: The other day you said I gave up on us because I didn't have faith; that somehow you didn't mean enough to me.
S: When I said that, I was...
V: No, let me finish. After you died, I used to talk to you...like you were still around. Literally, out loud, whole conversations about...nothing (Vaughn looks lost in memory as he speaks): the weather...Should I get a new car? Should I have another drink?... Then one day...you started answering. I mean, I could hear you in my head...like you were right next to me, Sydney. And although rationally I knew I was a guy who...stayed up nights drinking...talking to his dead girlfriend... Still, I couldn't stop. So, before you tell me you can handle me coming back to the CIA, there are two things you need to know: First...is that I was so in love with you...that it nearly killed me. And second...that I don't regret moving on with my life.

Sydney: If the NSC wants to find me, they will. Look, I was someone else for two years, Vaughn - someone I don't even remember. What am I supposed to do now? Spend the rest of my life in hiding?
Vaughn: Between that and a lobotomy, there isn't a choice!
Sydney:. I can't keep running forever.
Vaughn: I'll do everything I can to make sure you won't have to.
Sydney: Vaughn, why are you doing this? My life is already a disaster . . . now yours is, too.

Because all he can think about is her (3.21)

Vaughn: Whatever Lauren did to me, I want you to know I take full responsibility for what's happened. I messed up, and if you can't get past that, I understand. But will you try?
Sydney: I don't know.
Vaughn: Will you at least think about it? Because it's all I can think about.

Vaughn: Shotgun to Phoenix, how do you read?
Sydney: This is so weird. It sounds like you're right next to me. You can hear me?

Because of Vaughn’s proposal story (4.05)


Phil: How'd he pop the question?
Sydney (fumbling): He...took me to...
Vaughn (cutting in): Santa Barbara, actually.
He gives Sydney a half smile, which she returns. We can tell they are both thinking of the trip they were supposed to go on three years ago.
Vaughn: I had this whole romantic weekend planned. Presidential Suite at the Biltmore, candlelit dinner on the cliffs overlooking the ocean... So we went into town, and she wouldn't stop talking about the zoo. So, we went to the zoo. Figured I'd get it over with. And then I saw how happy it made her. It made me forget about all my stupid plans. And here we had this personal chef making this unbelievable meal at the hotel, and... (pauses) I proposed on one knee in sawdust in front of a giraffe with a crooked neck.
Vaughn gives Sydney this very intense look and she stares back at him, clearly enthralled by his story.
