sydney bristow/michael vaughn
we'll find each other. we always find each other.
Seasons Three - Five
season three
:(
V: I came by to see how you were.
S: Are you kidding me!?
V: No, I...just wanted to make sure that you...
S: You didn't come here to see how I am...you came here to see how you are, because you know in your heart what you did...you want to make sure you're okay.
V: I buried you. (pause) Consider that for what that's...
S: (cutting him off) Don't use rational thought as a defense with me, not after all you and I have seen. Vaughn, you and I live and breathe madness every day on the job...there is no...rational thought! I can't even pretend to have a conversation about anything else with you. What it comes down to is faith! What I was hoping you would say is, "Sydney I gave up; I gave up on us. I lost faith." But what you came here for...was closure...and there is not a chance you are getting that from me! I'm not gonna say I understand... I'm not gonna sympathize with you and tell you how hard it must be for you... But.. You wanna know how I am!? I am horrible! Vaughn, I am ripped apart! And not because I lost you... but because...if it had been me... I would have waited... I would have found the truth...I wouldn't have given up on you! And now I realize... what an absolute waste that would have been!
Another sadface. :(
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.
LIAR on the second part!
Okay, man, I'm only at the second episode and already I'm remembering how painful the season was. Sigh, this is gonna be hard. If nothing else could kill me, the angsty pained looks they throw each other will. Like this one:
S: You never should've betrayed me.
There's a whole slew of scenes in Repercussions but also involve Lauren, which means I'm like, NO. They aren't really that significant though. Just the trademarked angsty looks, that's all!
V: What happened between us…everything…the way it is…isn’t anyone’s fault, Sydney. And even though everything's changed, some things don't. I'm not gonna lose you twice.
And now, FINALLY, the season starts getting good. This scene made me cry the first time (okay and all other times) I saw it. :(
S: You're not wearing a wedding ring.
V: No, I thought we'd go to Santa Barbara first and see how that went.
S: You're not married.
V: You really did hit your head, huh?
S: I thought you gave up on us.
V: Syd, when I walked into your apartment, I saw you lying there, I thought God, don't let me miss a chance to tell her how much I love her.
S: I love you.
Even though this is a dream sequence, it's really what Sydney's thinking of, what she wants. Sigh.
S: I can't help it, I just miss you, I do.
V: You know we can't do this.
S: Give me a break, it's a dream, we can do whatever we want. At least I can.
Okay, tangent time! POLL, for my HIMYM flisters: Cobie Smulders reminds you a little of Jennifer Garner, yes/no?
S: Okay, this isn't going to work.
V: What isn't?
S: What have I done to you?
V: Nothing. I don't have a problem with you. I don't have anything with you.
S: Have I offended you in some way? By doing what, coming back, disrupting the perfect little life you had going on?
V: What are you talking about? I'm just sitting here reading a book. I haven't said anything.
S: You haven't said anything in weeks. We're supposed to be working together.
V: If you want to work with someone else, we can make a switch. Is that what you want?
S: I've done everything that I can to try to make this ridiculous situation work. You, me, and Lauren, working in the same office.
V: Yeah, and I have tried to walk around with this fake smile on my face, pretending everything was fine, just the way it used to be. That's not working for me anymore.
S: This is it. When we get back, one of us has to go.
Crossings is by far my favoritest episode ever.
V: Ow.
S: That's for being a jerk on the plane.
V: Listen, earlier, on the plane...
S: It's okay.
V: It's the only thing I could ever count on, the way it felt to be with you, how easy it was. That's all gone now. How are we supposed to get along and be friends? You're right, it's ridiculous.
S: ..I slept with Will.
S: It's okay.
V: We're not going to make it out of here. There's something I need you to know.
S: Vaughn...
S: It's okay.
V: In my life, there is only one person.
S: Don't do this.
S: It's okay.
V: Look at me.
S: Vaughn...
S: It's okay.
V: The only reason I pushed you away...
S: Please...
S: It's okay.
V: The only reason, I didn't know how to be around you.
S: They're coming.
S: It's okay.
V: Sydney...
S: I know. I know. (whispering) We'll find each other. We always find each other.
This scene is pretty much the reason for my existence as a S/V shipper.
S: Every day I wish I could go back in time, but I can't. And as much as I... as much as I still have feelings for you, I won't be the other woman, not ever.
V: I know.
S:: I am sad for you, for you and Lauren, that you have to go through this. But I'm also hopeful. That's what scares me.
V: I understand. When we get home, you want to get a cup of coffee?
S: Yeah.
Hope kills. In Sydney's case anyway. Case in point:
Goodbye Lauren! Will miss you! Not! But I was flailing so hard when I saw this for the first time, what with the long-awaited kiss and Vaughn coming to her rescue and everything, it's pretty much perfection in the moment.
season four
V: Can I come in?
S: If you come in, we both know what’s gonna happen…and I don’t want that-to jump right back in where we were…before everything…to pretend that those years didn’t happen.
V: Well, that would be nice, wouldn’t it?
S: But they did. (pause) We need to take it slow, Vaughn.
V: Yeah, you’re probably right.
Hahahahaha uh huh. I loved the promo for S4 when they showed this scene, and then the one when they're rolling around in bed. SLOW, ALRIGHT!
Which is why we have this nice transitional scene between taking it slow and...
Tada!
I actually really, really love Season Four. Minority?
V: Pizza and vegetables?
S: I know.
But seriously though, S4 has so many cute scenes like this one. What's not to like?
S: Listening to you talk to that woman...
V: I know.
S: I just wanted you to know you can talk to me whenever you want.
V: Thanks.
S: When we get back...maybe you should spend the night.
S: Vaughn?
I bet he wasn't asleep, but eh. NEXT UP! MY FAVORITE S4 EPISODE!!
WEISS: Guys...you don't have to analyze everything you do; you can just...decide to have fun. It's okay.
SYDNEY (defensive): We're fun.
WEISS (scoffing): Yeah, you guys are about as spontaneous as my grandparents...and they're dead.
--
S: (slightly defensive): We don't analyze everything we do. (pause) Do we?
V: (almost too quickly): No, no we don't. (pause) And besides, we agreed to take things slow.
S: Right. (Pause, rationalizing) We're choosing not to be spontaneous...
V: Exactly.
Hee, I love the S4 gang so much.
V: But that's an act. They're well organized, they're professionals; it's part of their test.
S: Which apparently we're failing...
V: No, come on...that was ridiculous...
S: What, did they expect us to do, just drop and go at it on the floor?!
V: If one more person calls us boring...
S: He didn't call us boring, he called us cold... (insecure) Who thinks we're boring?
V: No..nobody...That...that's not the point. So, what's our next move?
HAHAHHAHAHA. This scene amused me more than it ever should.
PHIL: How'd he pop the question?
S: He...took me to...
V: Santa Barbara, actually. (pause) 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.
ARGHGLKSADJFLKADFSLKADFS.
S: The story you told at the dealership... We were supposed to go to Santa Barbara three years ago...and we never made it.
V: Karen and Dave did.
Favorite scene of the episode, maybe season, hands down. Sobs.
S: Well, I happen to like us...even if we are a little cold.
V: And boring...don't forget boring.
S: How could I?
V: You know, we have operational command of this aircraft. The pilot could take us anywhere we want...
S: (playfully scolding): Our orders are to proceed with our extraction. If we were divert this aircraft for our personal use, we would get into a lot of trouble.
V: Wanna have dinner with me in Paris?
S: (no hesitation) Absolutely.
Who said they aren't spontaneous!
S: You were a chick magnet, right?
V: Actually, my first face off I took as a center, I got knocked right on my ass. The other team's center was like this 15-year-old 6 foot 2, bearded...actually, probably on steroids, now that I think about it... Finally, there was 12 seconds left, we were down by a goal... I'd had my teeth kicked in so many times I just said "Screw it..." I stopped caring, won the draw, skated around him, moved in for the shot...
S: You tied the game...
V: Nah, I hit the post. (sighs) But I did learn something...about how we can let fear get in the way. Syd...I know you want to take things slow, but...what are you afraid of?
I just love hockey scenes. Yaar.
S: Oh, you think it's sexy, don't you?
V: Only if I'd done it.
WORD!
S: Yet my feet touch the ground...
That quote is just so mystifying and so quiet and fascinating to me, I don't even know why. Train station!
V: He’s dead, Syd, my father. He’s been dead all along. I think. You know, I’ve- I’ve lived with his death for so long, I would have done anything just to see him again. But then I realized that my father, he would have never left my mom and me, not for anything. The man I knew could never have walked away from the people he loved.
S: How did you know?
V: 'Cause I couldn’t either.
I love that Sydney covered up and planned this entire thing with him to support his search for the truth.
JACK: We’re more alike than I care to admit, Agent Vaughn. And I realized 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.
SpyDaddy approval, yaaay.
S: Crazier things have happened.
V: That’s kinda my point. Syd, without you, I’d be lost. I mean, this world, this job, everything. It would make me insane.
S: I know.
V: (he takes her hands) We’re gonna get through this.
S: How can you be sure?
V: How can I not be? We’re still here. Syd...
I can't be the only one who yelled at Marshall.
S: That’s him. How do you wanna play this? You want to be rough, or do you want me to be rough?
V: You’re always rough.
S: No, I’m not.
V: Yes, you are.
S: That’s not true.
V: Yes, it is.
S: Are you talking about at home or on ops?
V: Both. Hey, I’m not complaining.
S: If I’m rough it’s because you like it when I- Are we on comms?
JACK: Yes, you’re both on comms, right now.
ASLDFKADF. This is one dialogue that will never ever get old.
V: Syd, come here. I had it all planned out.
S: What?
V: I was gonna take you to the beach, Santa Barbara. We’d go out for a walk, maybe when the sun was setting. But now we’re here, and I don’t know what we’re jumping into. And I may never get another chance to do this again. Sometimes I wake up before you do, and I watch you sleep. And I’m overwhelmed because. . .you’re so amazing. And I don’t know why I’m lucky enough to have you in my life, but you’re here with me. (Sydney nods) And I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you trying to make you as happy as you make me.
S: My God, Vaughn.
V: Sydney Bristow, will you marry me?
S: We’re gonna make it out of here.
V: Is that a yes?
S: Ask me on the beach.
S: Just in case, yes.
V: Yeah?
S: Yeah, I want to marry you. (Vaughn puts the ring on her finger.) It’s perfect. So are you.
And so is the scene.
S: I had a thought. What if we just blow off the whole big-wedding thing? What if we just do it on the beach?
V: The beach.
S: What do you think?
V: I like it. Barefoot on the beach, you’d look sexy as hell. Oh, but wait. What about your dad? He doesn’t look like the kind of guy who likes to have sand between his toes.
S: That’s true. So. . .we won’t invite him.
V: Your father?
S: What if we don’t invite anyone? We just elope?
V: You’re serious?
S: I would love it.
V: All right. Then we’ll elope.
S: Have I told you that I love you?
V: Yeah. Go ahead, tell me again.
S: I love you.
V: I love you too.
S: I know. Say it again.
OKAY! And in my mind, the season and series end there!!
Well, fine. :|
season five
S: You're waltzing!
V: Yup. I've been practicing for our wedding.
S: With whom?
V: Weiss.
So, I'm just gonna block all unhappy S5 memories from here on out. I can't do it, ugh, knowing the writers totally butchered Vaughn literally and figuratively. SHAKES FIST.
S: Are we just going to sit here and not talk about the thing we're both thinking about? Where are you with this, Vaughn? I just need to know how you feel. Is it something you want?
V: The truth?
S: Of course.
V: What we do - the things we see everyday. Honestly, no. I didn't think this was what I wanted. I mean, bringing a baby into this world? That is so messed up. I just assumed th-that I'd wait. That we'd wait.
S: For?
V: For things to be safe, or at least safer.
S: Yeah. I get it.
V: But looking at you, all I can think about is what our kid is going to be like. I'm not worried about the world. I just ... I can't wait to meet thi-this new little person.
S: Really? I mean it's pretty great, right?
V: You're going to be an amazing mom, and I'm going to be a disaster. I've never changed a diaper.
The thought of what's gonna happen to him in a minute's time makes me sick.
V: Me too. Sorry, Syd, I'm getting so tired.
S: Close your eyes. I'll be right here.
V: Syd, I love you.
S: I love you, too.
Sobs.
S: It should have a beach.
V: Absolutely. I’ll find a bad guy who owns a really nice beach resort. And you’ll have to go undercover for like, a month. You know what? That sounds pretty dangerous. Maybe we both should go.
S: You’d do that for me?
V: Hey, we’re in this together, right?
Sigh. And it didn't even sound like Michael Vartan, but whatever.
S: I should go.
V: No. I don’t wanna be without you.
S: I know… I miss you.
--
V: Look. (She looks at her finger, ring disappeared now) Sydney Bristow, will you marry me?
S: I - I don’t know what I’m supposed to say…
V: You’re supposed to say ‘yes’.
S: Yes. (Cuts to hypnotised Sydney) I wanna marry you.
S: (trying to control her tears) I don’t care. I don’t wanna say goodbye to you again.
V: I know. I know. It’s ok. I need to go away. We’ll find each other.
--
S: We always find each other. The baby kicked.
V: Really? What's it feel like?
--
S: Don't ever leave me.
V: Never.
I'm not even watching and I'm teary.
V: Listen to me. You’ve got to let me go.
S: I can't.
V: You have to.
S: I can’t, Vaughn… I can’t stand it. Being here without you… I feel like I’m losing my mind! I do. (she takes a deep breath) I don’t even know who I am anymore, what I’m doing, or why I’m doing it…
V: Okay, stop. You remember the last time we were here? Your contact has just been killed in Morocco and your world was collapsing around you and I told you that even in the middle of all these darkness you could not allow it to swallow you.
S: You gave me strength.
V: Yeah… but the truth is, the truth has always been you are the one who has kept the darkness from overtaking me. You can do this. I know you can do this. I’ve seen you do this time and time again!
Oh fuck it, I AM kinda crying.
S: Do you hear that?
V: I didn't hear anything.
S: I know. It's great, isn't it? (Sydney catches the left hand of Vaughn) I wish we could stay here like this forever.
V: There's nothing I want more. They're gonna figure it out, Syd. Sooner or later, they're gonna know you gave'em the wrong name. And when they do, I can't be here. They'll keep using me against you. They won't stop until they get what they want. I have to go.
S: I know.
V: We'll find each other. We always find each other.
You guys, YOU GUYS, I cannot handle this. Also, just so you guys know, I pretty much LOVED this episode the very second it aired, so much so that I provided the screencaps (my previous LJ was thislittlelady!) and transcribed it (my SD-1 username is/was recruited)!
ANYWAY.
The (season)long awaited reunion. Yay.
V: This is pretty amazing.
S: Have you ever seen anything so perfect?
V: No. You did good.
Cutest spyfam, ever.
Their instrumental song was playing in the background and being hauntingly beautiful as always.
finally found.
Okay, so that look on her face when she's like, 'Don't look at me. You're the one who let [Sark] go', hlaskdfjlakdsf. God, I love them so much, and I love this series so much, and I wish there could be a movie but it's all so close-ended. :(
we'll find each other. we always find each other.
Seasons Three - Five
season three
:(

V: No, I...just wanted to make sure that you...

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.
ARGHGLKSADJFLKADFSLKADFS.
S: The story you told at the dealership... We were supposed to go to Santa Barbara three years ago...and we never made it.
V: Karen and Dave did.
Favorite scene of the episode, maybe season, hands down. Sobs.
S: Well, I happen to like us...even if we are a little cold.
V: And boring...don't forget boring.
S: How could I?
V: You know, we have operational command of this aircraft. The pilot could take us anywhere we want...
S: (playfully scolding): Our orders are to proceed with our extraction. If we were divert this aircraft for our personal use, we would get into a lot of trouble.
V: Wanna have dinner with me in Paris?
S: (no hesitation) Absolutely.
Who said they aren't spontaneous!
S: You were a chick magnet, right?
V: Actually, my first face off I took as a center, I got knocked right on my ass. The other team's center was like this 15-year-old 6 foot 2, bearded...actually, probably on steroids, now that I think about it... Finally, there was 12 seconds left, we were down by a goal... I'd had my teeth kicked in so many times I just said "Screw it..." I stopped caring, won the draw, skated around him, moved in for the shot...
S: You tied the game...
V: Nah, I hit the post. (sighs) But I did learn something...about how we can let fear get in the way. Syd...I know you want to take things slow, but...what are you afraid of?
I just love hockey scenes. Yaar.
S: Oh, you think it's sexy, don't you?
V: Only if I'd done it.
WORD!
S: Yet my feet touch the ground...
That quote is just so mystifying and so quiet and fascinating to me, I don't even know why. Train station!
V: He’s dead, Syd, my father. He’s been dead all along. I think. You know, I’ve- I’ve lived with his death for so long, I would have done anything just to see him again. But then I realized that my father, he would have never left my mom and me, not for anything. The man I knew could never have walked away from the people he loved.
S: How did you know?
V: 'Cause I couldn’t either.
I love that Sydney covered up and planned this entire thing with him to support his search for the truth.
JACK: We’re more alike than I care to admit, Agent Vaughn. And I realized 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.
SpyDaddy approval, yaaay.
S: Crazier things have happened.
V: That’s kinda my point. Syd, without you, I’d be lost. I mean, this world, this job, everything. It would make me insane.
S: I know.
V: (he takes her hands) We’re gonna get through this.
S: How can you be sure?
V: How can I not be? We’re still here. Syd...
I can't be the only one who yelled at Marshall.
S: That’s him. How do you wanna play this? You want to be rough, or do you want me to be rough?
V: You’re always rough.
S: No, I’m not.
V: Yes, you are.
S: That’s not true.
V: Yes, it is.
S: Are you talking about at home or on ops?
V: Both. Hey, I’m not complaining.
S: If I’m rough it’s because you like it when I- Are we on comms?
JACK: Yes, you’re both on comms, right now.
ASLDFKADF. This is one dialogue that will never ever get old.
V: Syd, come here. I had it all planned out.
S: What?
V: I was gonna take you to the beach, Santa Barbara. We’d go out for a walk, maybe when the sun was setting. But now we’re here, and I don’t know what we’re jumping into. And I may never get another chance to do this again. Sometimes I wake up before you do, and I watch you sleep. And I’m overwhelmed because. . .you’re so amazing. And I don’t know why I’m lucky enough to have you in my life, but you’re here with me. (Sydney nods) And I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you trying to make you as happy as you make me.
S: My God, Vaughn.
V: Sydney Bristow, will you marry me?
S: We’re gonna make it out of here.
V: Is that a yes?
S: Ask me on the beach.
S: Just in case, yes.
V: Yeah?
S: Yeah, I want to marry you. (Vaughn puts the ring on her finger.) It’s perfect. So are you.
And so is the scene.
S: I had a thought. What if we just blow off the whole big-wedding thing? What if we just do it on the beach?
V: The beach.
S: What do you think?
V: I like it. Barefoot on the beach, you’d look sexy as hell. Oh, but wait. What about your dad? He doesn’t look like the kind of guy who likes to have sand between his toes.
S: That’s true. So. . .we won’t invite him.
V: Your father?
S: What if we don’t invite anyone? We just elope?
V: You’re serious?
S: I would love it.
V: All right. Then we’ll elope.
S: Have I told you that I love you?
V: Yeah. Go ahead, tell me again.
S: I love you.
V: I love you too.
S: I know. Say it again.
OKAY! And in my mind, the season and series end there!!
Well, fine. :|
season five
S: You're waltzing!
V: Yup. I've been practicing for our wedding.
S: With whom?
V: Weiss.
So, I'm just gonna block all unhappy S5 memories from here on out. I can't do it, ugh, knowing the writers totally butchered Vaughn literally and figuratively. SHAKES FIST.
S: Are we just going to sit here and not talk about the thing we're both thinking about? Where are you with this, Vaughn? I just need to know how you feel. Is it something you want?
V: The truth?
S: Of course.
V: What we do - the things we see everyday. Honestly, no. I didn't think this was what I wanted. I mean, bringing a baby into this world? That is so messed up. I just assumed th-that I'd wait. That we'd wait.
S: For?
V: For things to be safe, or at least safer.
S: Yeah. I get it.
V: But looking at you, all I can think about is what our kid is going to be like. I'm not worried about the world. I just ... I can't wait to meet thi-this new little person.
S: Really? I mean it's pretty great, right?
V: You're going to be an amazing mom, and I'm going to be a disaster. I've never changed a diaper.
The thought of what's gonna happen to him in a minute's time makes me sick.
V: Me too. Sorry, Syd, I'm getting so tired.
S: Close your eyes. I'll be right here.
V: Syd, I love you.
S: I love you, too.
Sobs.
S: It should have a beach.
V: Absolutely. I’ll find a bad guy who owns a really nice beach resort. And you’ll have to go undercover for like, a month. You know what? That sounds pretty dangerous. Maybe we both should go.
S: You’d do that for me?
V: Hey, we’re in this together, right?
Sigh. And it didn't even sound like Michael Vartan, but whatever.
S: I should go.
V: No. I don’t wanna be without you.
S: I know… I miss you.
--
V: Look. (She looks at her finger, ring disappeared now) Sydney Bristow, will you marry me?
S: I - I don’t know what I’m supposed to say…
V: You’re supposed to say ‘yes’.
S: Yes. (Cuts to hypnotised Sydney) I wanna marry you.
S: (trying to control her tears) I don’t care. I don’t wanna say goodbye to you again.
V: I know. I know. It’s ok. I need to go away. We’ll find each other.
--
S: We always find each other. The baby kicked.
V: Really? What's it feel like?
--
S: Don't ever leave me.
V: Never.
I'm not even watching and I'm teary.
V: Listen to me. You’ve got to let me go.
S: I can't.
V: You have to.
S: I can’t, Vaughn… I can’t stand it. Being here without you… I feel like I’m losing my mind! I do. (she takes a deep breath) I don’t even know who I am anymore, what I’m doing, or why I’m doing it…
V: Okay, stop. You remember the last time we were here? Your contact has just been killed in Morocco and your world was collapsing around you and I told you that even in the middle of all these darkness you could not allow it to swallow you.
S: You gave me strength.
V: Yeah… but the truth is, the truth has always been you are the one who has kept the darkness from overtaking me. You can do this. I know you can do this. I’ve seen you do this time and time again!
Oh fuck it, I AM kinda crying.
S: Do you hear that?
V: I didn't hear anything.
S: I know. It's great, isn't it? (Sydney catches the left hand of Vaughn) I wish we could stay here like this forever.
V: There's nothing I want more. They're gonna figure it out, Syd. Sooner or later, they're gonna know you gave'em the wrong name. And when they do, I can't be here. They'll keep using me against you. They won't stop until they get what they want. I have to go.
S: I know.
V: We'll find each other. We always find each other.
You guys, YOU GUYS, I cannot handle this. Also, just so you guys know, I pretty much LOVED this episode the very second it aired, so much so that I provided the screencaps (my previous LJ was thislittlelady!) and transcribed it (my SD-1 username is/was recruited)!
ANYWAY.
The (season)long awaited reunion. Yay.
V: This is pretty amazing.
S: Have you ever seen anything so perfect?
V: No. You did good.
Cutest spyfam, ever.
Their instrumental song was playing in the background and being hauntingly beautiful as always.
finally found.
Okay, so that look on her face when she's like, 'Don't look at me. You're the one who let [Sark] go', hlaskdfjlakdsf. God, I love them so much, and I love this series so much, and I wish there could be a movie but it's all so close-ended. :(
