Alias - Season 2: Episode 8 - "Passage Part I" - Best line (SPOILER)
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: msgoff

Marshall to Sark as he enters the conference room where Sark has been introduced as a new "ally" of SD-6:

"I'm Marshall... don't kill me"

(I don't think that this is the exact quote, but it was one of his best lines ever).

Posted by: Rob Helmerichs

With Marshall, it's often not the line--it's the delivery.

But I agree!

Funniest line in the show. Had to pause to finish laughing.

Posted by: WinBear

I thought one of the funnier lines was when Jack was explaining about Kendall's ego.

Posted by: Graymalkin

I loved the scene where Jack, Sydney, and Irina were side-by-side gunning the guerillas down. "The family that slays together stays together."

Posted by: DanT

The actual quote was:

"Hi....Welcome....Please don't kill me."

And I too loved it. Had to rewind and watch it twice more.

That's the trouble with deleting an episode right after I watch it - no way to go back and check my failing memory! Thanks, Dan!

I thougth Syd being the "adult" of the 3 was quite funny!

Jack attitude towards Irin cracks me up. And she just keeps pushing his buttons.

And Marshall is just great every time he speaks!

Ohhh! What was with the whole dialogue between Syd, Vaughn and the *ticking* watch? He gettin' "froggy"?

It had something to do with his heart, and how it stopped working the day he met Sydney, so the unspoken implication is that she is his lobster.

Nice explanation, Phoebe!

Posted by: MalachiNY

Thanks Gray but it was a rhetorical question!

Isnt Irina ........... *built*!?

I got the lobster joke!

Posted by: DancnDude

I liked when the guy was checking passports and says how he likes Mom's necklace and she said it was an anniversary gift and kissed Jack. I couldn't help but crack up laughing!

Posted by: Dignan

I think they should back off from the whole Sydney thing for one episode and focus on Marshall, it would be a hoot.

Hell yes. She is beautiful, intelligent and not to be trusted.

It was subtle in the end when Jack made her drop her weapon and she said "Sooner or later you are going to have to trust me." Jack's rsponse wasn't "I'll never trust you", it was "I won't allow you to carry a fire arm".

It's subtle and could be meaningless, or it could represent more conflict for Jack.

Xaa

Posted by: Rob Helmerichs

Yeah...I think Jack's problem is that for all his psychological and moral flaws, he is a much more human person than Irina, and she knows it, and she's using it.

Posted by: Hunter Green

The best part of the "broken watch" sequence was Sydney's hugely ambiguous comment "Me too". Obvious meaning: my pager was also Kendall (which it was). Unspoken meaning... what had she been about to say before it went off? "Me too" perhaps? Very well done.

Posted by: Mike20878

Did I miss something? What ever happened to Jack's hearing for planting the explosives to set up Irina?

Mike

Posted by: MalachiNY

When Syd had that congressman-guy alone in his Limo she lied and said that her and her father were like "working" undercover because there was a mole in the "???" Can't remember where really!? I think it was in congress and one of the branches. That is also how she saved Irina from execution ... said that she knew things about it too. BUT it was all a lie so that her dad and mom would be exonerated (of sorts)

Thats really general of what hapenned. If anyone else has the particulars please post them!

Posted by: Mike20878

Oh, right, I remember now...

Thanks.

I really like this story line with Wil. I wonder where this standardized testing stuff is leading.

Any new theories on Sloane's wife now? If she has apparently been kidnapped who would have put the antidote in her wine?

Mike

Posted by: jlb

Did anyone stop, replay enough times to determine that the finger sent to Sloane was a woman's???

I didn't, and because of that I came up with the theory of what if it was the finger of the colonel that was needed to get the codes out of the case? The whole mission could be some form of setup and what the Family Bristow thought was the colonel may not have been.

Posted by: Blahblah2000

How would anyone take that as "proof" that Emily is still alive? That could've been anyone's finger with her ring on it. Although now that I think about it, I guess Sloane could just check the fingerprints, but who's to say that they didn't dig her up and put that finger on ice right away? I just don't find a finger with a ring compelling evidence that she is still alive, that's all.

Posted by: Hunter Green

I am sure SD-6 has plenty of tests they can do on it, to determine if it's real, if it's hers, how long it's been dead, whether it was dead when it was cut off, etc. Heck, even rinky-dink town coroners in the real world can do most of that. And I'm sure that whoever sent the finger knows what kind of tests SD-6 can (and will!) do on it. The big question is, do they also know how to fake results on those tests?

Posted by: Knative

Even if the fingerprint matched Emily's there's still a way (at least according to CSI :D) to tell if the finger was cut off before or after death.

But it's probably best not to try to mix the two types of shows this much or I'll lose some of that suspension of disbelief.

Posted by: sacherjj

Basically, you can tell if her blood was flowing when the finger was cut off or not. I assume that Slone still has some hair or something else around to do a DNA test to verify that the finger is hers.

Posted by: Blahblah2000

If he used all of SD-6's resources, wouldn't that kind of blow trying to keep the whole Emily-Is-Possibly-Alive secret? I don't know, I guess it's not that big a deal, I just thought the writers could do a little better than a finger. Come up with something creative!

Posted by: Hunter Green

He already had SD-6 analyze the wine and go over his security system. I'm sure he can get things done without blowing his cover if he needs to.

Posted by: JohnJr

I couldn't believe (sorry) that the head of SD-6 would say "I need proof she is alive" first. What a dumbony. I mean, we all know what that entails, right? Certainly he better than we. In a show as good as this, he should have said, let me talk to her. Then let his tech take over and verify her voice print, etc.

Otherwise I think it was a great episode. I agree with you Hunter that her comment of "Me too" was good. :)

The tech guy, speaks a little fast/stuttering for me, and I am getting tired of it, but his line was good :)

I made myself a little mini marathon of Alias. Watched the last four weeks episodes over the weekend!

Oh! I also really love the way they intersperse popular music in with the show. I just wish they would credit the artists in the credits. :(

This has been one of the funniest episodes so far. I want so much for Irena? to be good however i don't think it is going to end up that way.

FYI:

E! News Live is having a segment on Jennifer Gardner tonight (friday) at 6:30pm. I think it's a behind-the-scenes thing.

I wasn't watching the tv when the commercial played, but I heard a sound bite where JG said the words "fake" and "boobs" which got my attention...

I must not get E!... I just went through my wishlists last night and only saw a Tonight Show appearance with Jennifer Garner. It is cool that she is getting better (than Dude, Where's my Car?) movie roles. Dare Devil and Catch Me If You Can (is that the right title to the new Tom Hanks movie) are coming out soon.

Catch Me if You Can is correct. Daredevil is the name of the other.
Catch Me if You Can is based on the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. My dad met him many years ago and has an autographed copy of the book.
It is a great book, but they will seriously have to tone down the part of his life

Spoiler Alert! (highlight to read)
spent in a French prison (I believe it was France, I haven't read the book in years). No, it was not sexual in nature. Merely the horrific treatment inflicted by other human beings.

His treatment during that part of his life is given in great detail in the book. That is one of only two times I have ever been so disturbed that I felt I needed to skip to another part of a book.
