Vaughn decides that THIS is the perfect time to ask Syd to marry him. Not before, in the office. Not after that rockin' night of rough love. Not at their favorite café. Not in the weapons arsenal. Here. On the plane. Right before the dead drop into Clifford. He whispers to Syd to come over. She does. "I had it all planned out," he says. "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." Way to be romantic, Agent Amorous. "We may die in a few minutes, so, wanna get hitched?" I'm being mean. It's actually really sweet. Sorry. To continue.
"Sometimes I wake up before you do," he says, "and I watch you sleep." Stalker. Sorry. Mean again. I really have to stop that. "And I'm overwhelmed because, you're so amazing," he says. "And I don't know why I'm lucky enough to have you in my life. But you're here with me. And I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you, trying to make you as happy as you've made me." "My God, Vaughn," says Syd, almost laughing/crying. He pulls out the ring and shows it to her. "Sydney Bristow, will you marry me?" Ha! She launches herself at him and they totally make out right in front of her entire family. Hee. "We're gonna make it out of here," says Syd. "Is that a yes?" asks Vaughn. Heh. Boy wants an answer! She just kisses him again. "Ask me on the beach," she says. Instead of smacking her around and going, "IS THAT A YES OR A NO?" Vaughn just smiles happily at her.
Jack stands up and walks over to them, barely containing a rather wry smile. "We have sixty seconds," he says. Heh. He smiles at his daughter, she smiles back at him, and his smile grows even more as the Jazz Drums of They're Not The Incredibles But They're Pretty Damn Close snare and snap across the soundtrack. The plane heads toward the glowing red hot spot in the distance. The drop hatch opens. The Bristows & Son stand there, looking down into the clouds. Vaughn puts on his helmet ,nd all five of them drop into the sky. They bullet toward the Clifford and there it is, spinning and twisting above the innocent town it's infecting.
