Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Season 2

Jim Morita:
Guten Tag boys. Alright, nice and calm, no sudden moves or we'll tie a blasting cap to your-hey Dugan, what's the German word for nuts?

Dum Dum Dugan:
I don't know, Jim. But tie a blasting cap to him, I bet we'll hear it.

Peggy Carter:
These assets are now under the protection of the Strategic Scientific Reserve. They'll be hidden out of sight, indefinitely... as will you.

HYDRA Officer:
Cut off one head, two more shall grow in it's place.

Carter:
Then I guess we'll keep cutting them off.

Coulsoun:
You've said in your numerous public appearances that you have a facility where you're storing the technology and prisoners captured in the S.H.I.E.L.D. raids, yes?

Talbot:
Yeah, I'm flattered you keep up with my press.

Coulson:
[impersonating Talbot] It's Private Tilden, isn't it?

Private Tilden:
Yes sir.

Coulson:
Well, I don't care I about this register or that. I want General Jones and his friends sent directly to the ordinance depot to meet me.

Billy Koenig:
Go bigger, go bigger!

Coulson:
Or I'll have you so deep in horse manure, son, you'll need a damn snorkel!

Coulson:
We have to fight on for him, for those we've lost. We have to take risks, so that the sacrifices they made were not made in vain, and then we'll disappear.

Trip:
No need to think the worst till it shakes your hand and says hello.

Skye:
Is that another one of your grandma's sayings?

Trip:
Fortune cookie. Had some kung pao chicken the other night.

Coulson:
Right now we have more important problems. A five-alarm fire otherwise known as Lance Hunter.

Skye:
Is he...?

Coulson:
Captured. But if he talks, our entire operation's compromised. We'll have to burn the base and evacuate. I know, and we've just retiled the bathrooms.

Skye:
I know you're the boss and you have to compartmentalize everything, but it's not healthy. You need to loosen up. Try yoga or something.

Coulson:
I tried it, but I'm really not flexible.

Skye:
I'm really sorry, tough to lose people you care about.

Lance Hunter:
Secret to that - don't get attached.

Skye:
Tried that. Didn't work. For you either.

Hunter:
You know, you remind me a bit of Izzy. Raw but sharp, you've got skills. Probably could earn you some real money in the private sector.

Skye:
As a mercenary? Yeah, I don't think so.

Hunter:
We prefer the term private military contractors. Don't knock it, everyone needs an exit strategy eventually.

Skye:
Not me. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s my life now.

Hunter:
S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't a life, it's just a job, means to an end. Remember that.

Raina:
Hello?

Coulson:
Who is this?

Raina:
Agent Coulson, I'm glad you got my message.

Coulson:
Raina, as I live and breathe.

Raina:
It's been a while since we've spoken.

Coulson:
I'm kind of in the middle of a manhunt; can we make this quick?

Raina:
Why? You need time to trace this call, don't you? I take it then you haven't tracked down Mr. Creel or the item he stole.

Coulson:
What do you know about that?

Raina:
I know HYDRA's about to get their hands on it.

Coulson:
Congratulations.

Raina:
Let me be clear - Mr. Creel is working for HYDRA. I am not.

Coulson:
Why the breakup? Bad dental plan?

Raina:
HYDRA has only one thing on their minds - world domination, which is so 1945

Coulson:
What do you want Raina?

Raina:
It's what I don't want. Which is the obelisk falling into the hands of people who don't understand it.

Guard Theo:
That smile, a breath of sunshine in an otherwise dreary morning.

Simmons:
You're to sweet, and you mix your metaphors.

May:
In the field you need to maintain control, whatever the situation: hostages, bombs about to go off.

Skye:
So what you're saying is what I just did was puny and sad?

[May checks Skye's heartbeat]

May:
61 beats per minute, consistent the whole time. Not that puny. Speaking of not puny... here, I want you to get used to this, it's a sniper rifle.

[Hunter and Mack come by]

Hunter:
Pardon me, just one quick question, you went to S.H.I.E.L.D. academy, right?

May:
You didn't. If you did, you would of known better than to shoot us.

Hunter:
Apology number 470: I am very sorry Agent May...

May:
Don't be sorry. Just wait.

Alphonso MacKenzie:
Uh, we were just having a little wager, so did you...?

Skye:
Go to the academy? Yeah, no.

[Hunter sighs]

Mack:
Alright, well have fun with the inventory and remember: Koenig likes them neat.

[Simmons enters her home gun drawn to find Coulson]

Coulson:
Did you think I wouldn't find out?

[Simmons lowers her gun]

Colsoun:
Sriracha? Beer? That's all? What kind of diet is that?

Simmons:
Well, I also have tea. And if my diet is such a concern, then perhaps dead-drops shouldn't involve fast food.

Coulson:
We'll revisit that protocol.

Hunter:
May shot me.

Trip:
Man. I wanted to be the one.

Fitz:
Is there anything more?

Coulson:
That I'm keeping from you? Yeah, I'm Director, there's a hell of a lot more. But there is one other thing you should know. Simmons is on an assignment. That's why she hasn't been in contact. That's why she left.

Mack:
Sir, notice the car? 1962 Rolls... restored it myself.

Coulson:
I noticed. Still not letting you work on Lola.

Coulson:
This is fun, right? Isn't this fun? Look - [Holds up his sleeves] Cufflinks!

May:
I will pay you $500 right now for a pair of flats.

Skye:
[Hears a noise over the comms] Wait. What was that?

Coulson:
Yeah. That's May.

Skye:
Is-is she okay? Is everything okay?

Coulson:
Yes. She's laughing. I think the worst of it's over now.

May:
[Walks up to Coulson] My face hurts.

Coulson:
We're blown.

May:
Why?

Coulson:
No idea. I think Talbot's still pissed 'cause we kidnapped him that time.

May:
So, what did she do? Fake me. How'd you know that she wasn't me?

Coulson:
Little things. And she wanted to get coffee.

May:
Ah. Punch her in the face?

Coulson:
I did.

May:
Good.

Coulson:
I think the conspiracy nut in you had a few too many lattes this morning.

Daisy:
I did have a latte. It was a double.

Coulson:
Where are you taking the victims?

Price:
That's classified. Oh, it's not fun when it's you, right? Can't believe I just said that to the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson:
You know, I'm really not feeling the spirit of cooperation here.

Simmons:
I know you're looking for signs of PTSD, but I assure you I'm fine.

Garner:
You've been through something pretty extreme. There will be after-effects, and that's okay. It's okay to struggle.

Coulson:
Mr. Frye we can help you, but you have to trust me. This Lash is not some angel of mercy.

Dwight Frye:
No, he's no angel. He's just a guy trying to do the right thing.

Ward:
A gifted that refuses Hydra is a threat. And threats are taken care of quickly.

Skye:
[scoffs] That's the difference between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.

Ward:
And that's why Hydra will win. Because while a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is considering right and wrong, Hydra's already taken the shot.

Daniel Whitehall:
Why cling to the founding principles of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Freedom. Equality. Individual rights. These principles make mankind a plague on this planet. Think of a forest. It dries up and catches fire with the first spark. Now, mankind would fight that fire, believing every individual plant perfect in its own individual way. But it's the fire that's perfect. Essential. Now more magnificent plant species, like the giant sequoia, their seeds need the heat of that fire to crack open and be born. To literally rise from the ashes. And they will live for a thousand years. You don't need to keep burning. Rise. Be born.

Talbot:
[to Coulson] You know, I spent five long months in an enemy war camp. You people make me miss those days.

Skye:
Hey, at least you got away from your ex. The guy I had a crush on is now the psycho living in our basement.

Mack:
You know, I wish I could relate, but all my exes are awesome [grins].

Hunter:
Is that right? I seem to remember an entire year where you had to pretend you liked quinoa.

Mack:
Oh, yeah... that was a dark time.

Raina:
I can help you -

Whitehall:
Raina, I'm not like most of the people with whom you interact. I'm not easily confused. I've been around too long to lose sight of what's mine. I generally don't do my own dirty work anymore. We should all aspire to do only that which we enjoy, don't you agree? But in your case, I will make an exception.

Simmons:
Do you have any idea what this means? We could kill millions of people, perhaps even billions.

Kenneth Turgeon:
Pretty awesome, huh?

Skye:
Hold on, are you saying that I'm an alien?!

Coulson:
It's a theory.

Skye:
No, a theory is what scientists use to prove things in nature, this is you telling me that I might be an alien! That's not something you just say like it's no big deal!

Coulson:
I was trying not to rattle you.

Skye:
Guess what? Epic fail!

Skye:
Have you been drinking?

Hunter:
I was working. Had to maintain my cover.

Skye:
Your cover as what? Ron Burgundy?

Simmons:
If it hadn't have been for Agent Morse, I -

Bobbi Morse:
Bobbi.

Simmons:
- Bobbi, right. If it hadn't have been for Bobbi, I would never have made it out. Probably be brainwashed, happy to comply to who knows what. [whispers] She's amazing.

Hunter:
Bobbi?

Bobbi:
Hey, Hunter. Nice suit.

Hunter:
"Nice suit"? Really? That's what you're leading with? [pause] What did you do to your hair?

Bobbi:
Ever heard of "undercover"?

Hunter:
I prefer you blonde.

Bobbi:
Well, I didn't do it for you. Two seconds in, there's already a tone.

Hunter:
Th-this isn't a tone, this is my speaking voice when I'm upset with an unreasonable person!

Trip:
[chuckling, to May] What's the deal there?

May:
Hunter ever tell you stories about his she-Devil ex-wife?

Trip:
All the time. [He looks at Bobbi. May nods] Damn.

Christian Ward:
[to Coulson] You may think you know Grant Ward, Mr. Coulson, but trust me. Underneath every lie he tells is just another lie.

Ward:
[about Christian] He'll smile, bare his soul. It is all manipulation. He is a master at it. Look, I know what I am. But my brother? He's worse.

Ward:
I'm still a part of your team.

Coulson:
My team? You th-- You are not, nor you'll ever be, on my team. You dropped Fitz-Simmons out of a plane. You murdered Victoria Hand and Eric Koenig. You betrayed every one of us, you deluded son of a bitch! The only reason you're alive is because you were of use! And the only reason you're being transferred is because your brother is of more use.

[Ward is being marched out of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and sees Skye]

Ward:
Skye...

[Simmons steps protectively in front of Skye]

Simmons:
If I ever see you again, I'll kill you.

Christian Ward:
Dignatares, ladies and gentlemen, less then 48 hours ago, brave men and women lost their lives at this very spot where I'm standing now, and I think we owe it to them to discuss something all often elusive - the truth. Sometimes we want something simpler than they actually are, but... the tough reality is, we are complex creatures. And I've come to understand something that the world must, as well. There is a difference between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra. One was an organization built on protection, and the other - world domination. And just as good and evil existed side-by-side within S.H.I.E.L.D., the same was true in my own home. At first, I was ashamed to share this truth with the world, but my younger brother, Grant Ward, was a member of Hydra. He was a traitor. He was a traitor to his friends, his family, and his nation. When evil sits to ones own heart, that is when the surest hand must cut it out. I give my word. I will personally make sure my brother is punished for his crimes. But as is so often true, the darkness lingers longer than the light. And while S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone, Hydra is a problem that world must still face. Otherwise, that darkness will grow and spread and cast a shadow over us all.

Skye:
May gave out specific instructions: you go on a date with a crazy wall. I get to chaperone.

Hunter:
Subtlety is key.

Bobbi:
You were dressed like a cowboy.

Coulson:
I was put in charge of the T.A.H.I.T.I. project so those people are my responsibility. If going back in this machine saves even one life, then it's worth the risk.

Skye:
In the history of bad ideas, this is light years ahead of everything.

Coulson:
No. Trying to bring dead agents back to life using alien blood blows everything else away.

Fitz:
He'll recover, he did before. Besides, brains never delete files, they just lose connections, but there's always a back up. It's just a matter of digging and finding them.

Mack:
So you've got back up files too?

Simmons:
Peggy Carter, founder, happens to be British, held this in her hand!

Christian Ward:
[to Grant Ward] Listen to yourself! Just listen to yourself! You twist every act and blame it on somebody else! Mom and Dad were terrible, but they didn't put the match in your hand when you burnt down that damn house! And I didn't squeeze the trigger when you killed all those people!

Christian Ward:
[to Grant Ward] You lie to yourself. You want to know why? It's simple. You can't reconcile all the ugly, horrible things you do with the hero you so desperately want to become.

Coulson:
What are we talking about? Tesseract-level power?

Dr. Calvin Johnson:
Sure. I don't know what that is.

Coulson:
You realize we're talking life and death here.

Calvin:
I know! It's exciting, isn't it? I mean, both sides racing to the temple, life and death, flesh and blood, emotions! Who knows how it'll shake out? All I know is, my baby's gonna be right there in the center of it.

Hunter:
Doesn't matter what I ask. I can't trust the answer.

Bobbi:
Write that sentence down, hand it to your therapist.

Bobbi:
Will you never trust me?

Hunter:
But I'll never stop wanting to.

Sam Koenig:
[to Raina] Sorry, but you're gonna need a lanyard.

Bobbi:
I wish I could give you some advice, but I've never been friends with a guy first. It's always been a roller coaster. Fast out of the gate, hit the drop, the turn, the loop, the screeching halt, then back in line to do it all over again.

Simmons:
But is the ride worth it?

Bobbi:
I'll let you know when it's over.

Coulson:
There are three million people on this island, and I'm not going to let Hydra turn them into collateral damage.

Raina:
Be honest, Skye. Haven't you ever felt lost or had that feeling that you were part of something bigger? Like you were special?

Skye:
When you say "special," what you really mean is "alien."

Raina:
Is that what you believe? We're human, Skye. We just have the potential to be more. But the Diviner? Now that is most definitely alien.

Skye:
Where do you get this stuff? My father?

Raina:
Partly. But my grandmother came from a long line of special people who believed in a story, about the blue angels that fell from the heavens. The ancients called them the Kree.

Skye:
And what do the Kree want?

Raina:
Change.

Ward:
Skye, I give you my word; come with me, we won't fire a single shot. Everyone gets out alive.

Billy Koenig:
Good one. Is that what you told my brother before you killed him?

Ward:
How many of you are there?

Skye:
[to Ward] Maybe you don't remember, but we've played this game of "let's kidnap Skye" before, and it didn't end well for you.

Calvin:
[to Skye] I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, that I couldn't protect you. That I couldn't teach you about the stars...[voice breaking] Or sing you to sleep. I know I'm a terrible disappointment, but I'm here now. And everything that's about to happen is supposed to happen.

Calvin:
[to Skye] I'll make plenty of time to answer all of your questions. But first, now that he's served his purpose, I'm gonna kill the man who destroyed my life. Best day ever.

Skye:
[after shooting Ward]) Never turn your back on the enemy. You taught me that.

Skye:
This is your one chance to walk away, or I will kill you.

Calvin:
Okay. I'll go. But I'll be waiting for you. After you change, no one else will understand. They'll be afraid. Change is terrifying. But I'm your father, and I love you. I will always love you, Daisy.

Coulson:
We did not fail! Trip prevented a disaster, and Whitehall's dead. We cut off the head. And while Hydra scrambles for a new one, I will crush them! I'm gonna make somebody pay, whoever the hell it is.

May:
"They'll never take us alive!"? Really? A little over the top, don't you think?

Coulson:
I only had a day to come up with this whole thing. Besides, if I let you write the script, no one would say anything.

Calvin:
Raina, let's not lose our heads.

Raina:
What happened to me?!

Calvin:
Metamorphosis, by the look of it.

Raina:
I was supposed to become something divine, something transcendent. My grandmother said I'd be an angel, not some gnarled freak of nature covered in thorns.

Calvin:
You always did like flowers.

Raina:
I can't live like this. My insides feel like gravel. I cut myself when I move. [crying] I can't live as this repulsive creature.

Calvin:
Then don't.

Skye:
There's something very wrong with me.

Fitz:
No, you're just different now. You're just different now, and there's nothing wrong with that.

May:
Not bad. But once I'm pinned, you should try for a finishing blow.

Skye:
You want full Mortal Kombat?

May:
I want you to stop holding back, Skye.

Skye:
I didn't want to hurt you. I didn't want to try to hurt you. I feel like I'm constantly on the verge of…I don't know.

May:
Look... we lost Trip, and it hurts like hell, but you can't shut those feelings out. Can't sustain that.

Skye:
What's my option? l just might lose it right here?

May:
We've talked about this. Control. Embrace your emotions, your nerves. Use them... on your terms.

Skye:
I don't know. What I'm feeling…is pretty dark. I'm afraid I'm gonna go postal and tear your head off.

May:
Go for it. I promise you won't.

Simmons:
Skye is my friend. She's different.

Fitz:
Oh, yeah. Like I was your friend, and then I changed. How did you handle that?

Mack:
Uh, t-the point is, secrets don't help any of us. Skye should have just come clean.

Fitz:
What, and risked being locked up, studied, or who know what else? No, I wouldn't let her.

Simmons:
Oh, you wouldn't let her.

Mack:
We could have handled her in a way that could have kept everybody safe.

Morse:
It wasn't fair to us, Fitz. We had a right to know.

Fitz:
A right to know. What - is that the same way that Sif and the Kree had the right to know?

Hunter:
I think the situation is a bit different, mate.

Fitz:
No, you would have done to her exactly what they wanted to.

Simmons:
You don't know that!

Fitz:
Yes, I do know that! They would - you would - you'd "handle her"! Mack just said! Like, uh... like Skye's something to be locked up in a cage somewhere. We should be protecting her.

Mack:
No, Fitz. We're the ones that need the protection from her.

Sif:
Yet you do not serve a king?

May:
Not really how it works with us.

Sif:
I wonder if I serve the king as the great warrior you say I am.

May:
Odin? Oh, we know you do. You've met him.

Sif:
Shut... up.

Sif:
Kava means keys.

Coulson:
Keys?

Sif:
A device used to unlock...

Coulson:
Yeah. I know keys.

Sif:
Coulson, your people make decisions based on logic.

Coulson:
Usually.

Sif:
Usually. As do mine.

Coulson:
Leaving Skye with us is the logical choice, I promise.

Sif:
No. No. That is not what I mean. Asgard is millennia beyond you in our pursuit of science and knowledge. And we have learned there are some things that can never be understood.

Coulson:
Is this little talk one of 'em?

Dr. Andrew Garner:
I haven't worked with S.H.I.E.L.D. in a long while. I moved on for a reason.

May:
It's a different S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson's the director now.

Garner:
Okay, but why me? Is this Skye that bad?

May:
She's that good. A good agent.

Skye:
Tell me about the wedding. I'm thinking May could go either way... understated or full bridezilla. She can be a control freak.

Garner:
I'm not here to discuss my ex.

Skye:
Did you guys have actual conversations? You know, like, pillow talk, or was it just pillow stern looks?

Garner:
[about Skye] She thinks the world of you.

May:
Well, I taught her how to fire an automatic. Of course she likes me.

Karla Faye Gideon:
Maybe it would make more sense just to forget about S.H.I.E.L.D. M-Move on. I mean, haven't they robbed us of enough?

Calvin:
That's the point. We can't forget. We can't just slink away and let them take from us. From me! They took my little girl. They stole her from me, and they still have her. She isn't safe there. Losing a child, it, it tears you apart! I'm just like you. I wasn't strong. I couldn't protect the people I loved. So I tried to change, improve myself, with chemistry. Results were inconsistent. Some volatility issues. But I keep working on a formula. Always tweaking. We can't stop now. We can't let them make us afraid or make the world afraid of us! They are the criminals, and we're gonna shine a light on that!

Mack:
You were right. For a while there, it all went to hell. It was bad. But now Bobbi and I work for an organization, an outlier that came out of the wreckage from what Fury left.

Hunter:
What organization, Mack? Who the hell are you working for?

Mack:
S.H.I.E.L.D. The real S.H.I.E.L.D.

Robert Gonzalez:
You must be Lance Hunter.

Hunter:
And you must be crazy.

Fitz:
[to Skye] Things change. That's what I'm saying. So maybe if you can learn how to control this, then... you could have Avenger-level powers, something like Captain America, even.

Simmons:
I think it best we keep in mind the unstable natures of Skye's power. If there is an Avenger equivalent, right now I'm afraid it's The Hulk.

Fitz:
Well, Hulk, saved the world, last I checked.

Hunter:
So that's what this is about; you guys don't want Coulson in charge. I'll be the first to admit the guy's not perfect. Sometimes chews with his mouth open, tends to hog the mic on karaoke night. But other than that, he's not so bad really.

Ward:
I know what you're going through. My family did a number on me. Stripped me down, left me hollow. I was a shell. So, when someone finally did come along and offer to build me back up, I didn't resist. Even though what he really did was make me a killer.

Kara:
But you seem so well-adjusted.

Ward:
It was a long road. Took getting locked up to give me some perspective. But then I paid my family a visit. They were surprised to see me, but I think that eventually, we were able to dig in, really express our feelings.

Kara:
That's it?

Ward:
I haven't looked back since. You are the only one who can find yourself.

Talbot:
Lieutenant, when was the last time I got your name right?

Lieutenant:
Never. Sir.

Talbot:
You are correct.

May:
The last person who betrayed me? I broke his larynx.

Mack:
The most dangerous kind of pain is the kind you can't feel.

Gordon:
I wish you wouldn't stare.

Skye:
Uh–

Gordon:
Th-that was a joke. I'm not very good at them. I don't mind that you're curious, honestly. And, yes, I used to have eyes. They were blue. This? This was the obvious change for me, but what happens inside can be just as profound. You see, the mist changes everyone differently. The real difference between the two of us is what happened after we went through the mist.

Skye:
What do you mean?

Gordon:
I knew from an early age how special I was. Had a mentor, a guide of sorts. And the first thing she did after I transformed was embrace me. Tell me, Skye, what was the first thing that S.H.I.E.L.D. did to you?

Gonzales:
Nice office. Lots of light.

Coulson:
You haven't even delved into the record collection.

Gonzales:
I have no plans of moving in. You may not know who I am, but I -

Coulson:
Oh, no. I actually know quite a bit about you, Robert. You started in S.H.I.E.L.D. young, like me, dropped out for awhile when your wife passed, but then came back with a vengeance, rose to command the Iliad three years later and, by all accounts, became one of the best commanders S.H.I.E.L.D. ever had. I know this because I spent months searching for you when S.H.I.E.L.D. fell, because I'd heard you were a good man, 'cause I wanted you on my team.

Gonzalez:
I wish I could say the same. I wish you were the man you were even two years ago. But by all accounts, you're not.

Coulson:
You didn't know me then, and you don't know me now.

Gonzales:
I know that Fury brought you back from the dead.

Coulson:
Right. I didn't ask for that. But I've come to appreciate the gesture.

Gonzales:
And that he filled your veins with alien blood. God knows what that did. Weaver thinks it made you into some kind of a messenger for an alien race. Can you say with certainty that that's not true?

Coulson:
You really think they're gonna help you?

Gonzales:
Everyone on your team is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. We'll let them make their own decisions.

May:
[Shoots Gonzales in the back with an Icer] Already made mine.

Coulson:
That's really a nice entrance.

[Hunter writes down "L. Hunter" on a napkin and shows it to Coulson.]

Coulson:
What's that?

Hunter:
You offered me a permanent position. Consider that my contract. So, what's the plan, boss?

Lincoln Campbell:
Gordon's the only one who knows where we are, and he's the only way in or out. It keeps us secret and safe from the outside world.

Skye:
Or it keeps us prisoners.

Lincoln:
You're not very trusting, are you?

Skye:
I woke up naked on a table in a place no one can even point to on a map, so call me crazy.

Lincoln:
Our gifts don't have to be terrifying. They're a part of us. I felt lost before I came here, too. Looking for answers in the all the wrong places. But we're connected to something bigger and older than than we could have ever imagined, something extraordinary. Don't walk away from it.

Calvin:
[to Gordon] You clearly have an unfair advantage, and we clearly don't see eye to eye.

Skye:
What happened to you?

Raina:
Destiny, apparently. I wanted to be set free, but now I can't even bear the light of day. I dread being awake, but my sleep is filled with such horrible nightmares. Children are so afraid of monsters. They should know it's worse to be one.

Gonzalez:
This is not about Coulson. It's not about me. It's not about anyone on this ship. It's about S.H.I.E.L.D. We cannot afford to be enemies to each other when there are new threats out there waiting for the moment we are at our weakest. A house built on shifting sand will fall. And without a strong and united foundation, S.H.I.E.L.D. will fall again.

Eva Belyakov:
I've had their pain. Now give me yours.

May:
Come on. I've got plenty to share.

Lincoln:
You know it's really impressive for Jiaying to take anyone under her wing.

Skye:
Yeah?

Lincoln:
Yeah.

Skye:
I like her. I just... I can't... What's her role here?

Lincoln:
Her role is, in charge. So really she must like you.

Skye:
If she's in charge, how often does she train people?

Lincoln:
Since I've been here... let me see... never.

Jiaying:
Your gift is quite destructive, but look at the music you can make.

Skye:
Something bad happens every time I feel settled somewhere. I'm twenty five and I have never spent more than two years anywhere. The second I made friends at the orphanage; gone. And God forbid I called a foster family home; pack your bags. I got the news on my birthday once, which is a complete farce because I don't even know when I was born.

Jiaying:
I'm so sorry.

Skye:
S.H.I.E.L.D. was the closest I ever came to having a family. I belonged there, saw what I could be. Even that ended with agents hunting me through the woods.

Jiaying:
We're not going to turn on you, or abandon you. This is a safe place.

Skye:
See, you say that but I know you're not being straight with me? Why do you care if I stay or go and why are you...

Jiaying:
July second. You were born on July second.

Raina:
I dream of Skye and her father at dinner. A bouquet of daisies. And she's so happy.

Lincoln:
It's not a dream.

May:
The girl...she didn't understand...I couldn't save her...

Calvin:
You know what doesn’t have the smell of buttery goodness wafting out of it on your way to work?

Skye:
A currency exchange?

Skye:
Johnson - Is that your last name?

Calvin:
Was. Pretty ordinary, huh? I changed it to something more sinister when I went on the run.

Skye:
Daisy Johnson. Huh.

Lincoln:
What are you made of?

Deathlok:
Whoever you are, you don't want to do this. I'm a friend of Skye's.

Lincoln:
Sure. And I'm the Hulk.

Hunter:
Three men, heavily armed - bet there's more where they came from.

Ward:
Does it matter? They got a cyborg on board with rockets in his arm.

Coulson:
He's not a cyborg - he's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent... with rockets in his arm.

Coulson:
[to Mack and Bobbi after a fire fight between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra] I doubled back after Hydra took off. The cleanup crew really sucks, doesn't it?

Coulson:
Robert. It's good to see you.

Gonzales:
Is it?

Coulson:
Okay. It's good to see my bus. But, hey. You look well, too.

Raina:
Don't give up hope just yet. Skye can save Lincoln. I saw her do it.

Skye:
[confused] Wh - You've seen it?

Gordon:
We think Raina's gift may allow her to see things before they happen.

Skye:
I thought her gift was spinning really fast to collect gold rings.

Bobbi:
If you didn't want me to go, then why did you vote to allow it?

Gonzales:
Because Coulson's only using his own people. Figured it was worth the risk.

Bobbi:
Those are S.H.I.E.L.D. agents going on that mission, Robert.

Gonzales:
I'm aware of that, Agent Morse. We're fighting a war with an enemy that is without honor. Sometimes, we make sacrifices for the greater good.

Ward:
Can we just address the elephant on the plane? I know. This is weird. Mistakes were made.

Fitz:
By you.

Ward:
And people got hurt.

Fitz:
By you.

Ward:
And I could stand here and explain again how my parents - and brother left me vulnerable...

May:
[scoffs] We all had our traumas, Ward. Didn't turn any of us into psychopaths.

Ward:
Well, we all have our own ways of coping, don't we? For example, I was yours.

Coulson:
Watch it, Ward!

Ward:
Look, I'm just saying we all made mistakes. Coulson handed me over to my abuser, thank you. Skye shot me-

Simmons:
After you killed how many people?

Fitz:
Yeah, and we were a team and a family, and you betrayed us!

Ward:
I know. It's what I regret the most. Not the lying, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents I had to put down, and I'm sorry not even dropping you two in the ocean. It's this. My actions destroyed this. I'll regret that forever. 'Cause there were good times. Right? Before? I mean, for a while there, we were a good team. Weren't we?

Skye:
[dramatic pause] I'm still happy I shot you.

Fitz:
Yeah, me too.

Simmons:
Should've aimed for the face.

Gonzales:
[holds out the Tool Box] Time to honor our agreement.

Coulson:
[Takes the Tool Box, opens it, hands it back] Here you go. Unlocked and all yours. Go nuts. At least until Fury shows up and asks for it back. [pause] Oh. Spoiler alert. [His cell rings] Oh. Hey. [He shows Gonzales that it's a call from Maria Hill] I have to take this.

Lincoln:
You never should have come for me.

Skye:
I had to, Jiaying wouldn't allow it if I...

Lincoln:
There's a reason for that. The only thing that's kept us safe all these years is that we were a secret. Now S.H.I.E.L.D. knows we exist, and they won't stop until they find Afterlife.

Lincoln:
The indexing? They just asked a lot of questions. I'm sure you guys already have my blood from when I was out, right?

Coulson:
It's protocol.

Lincoln:
Hydra said the same thing.

Skye:
Our ancient ancestors called themselves Inhumans and we just want to be left alone.

Hunter:
You're really going to let Captain Ahab just waltz in there and have a fireside chat with Skye's mom?

Coulson:
I am, though that is a really strange way of putting it.

Coulson:
If I don't put my faith in them, then S.H.I.E.L.D. will fall apart all over again.

Hunter:
Hate to break it to you, but S.H.I.E.L.D. will also fall apart if a dozen angry enhanced blokes rain terror on us all.

Hunter:
Forget about the plane. Can you pull up the...

Fitz:
Footage of Bobbi. From the base. Before she left. Good idea.

Hunter:
You know I am capable of finishing my own...

Fitz:
Sentences. Yes, you are. Sorry.

Fitz:
[showing Hunter footage of May and Bobbi] Okay, that's May.

Hunter:
Yeah. And that's the woman that once set my 1967 convertible GTO on fire. The question on the table is not who, but where!

Mack:
What'd you do with Skye?

Alisha:
Follow me and I'll show you. [splits into 4 versions of herself and they move in different directions]

Mack:
I can't wait to get off this boat.

Skye:
[after seeing her mother kill S.H.I.E.L.D. agents] She just killed them. All of them. Didn't even think about it.

Mack:
Yeah, I thought my mom was bad when she started watching Fox News.

Alisha:
I'm headed downstairs to secure the armory. I'm also upstairs in the conference room.

Fitz:
[excited] Sir! Good news. I modified my field generators to act in unison as a quantum field disruptor.

Coulson:
Great. You're saying you found a way to shut down Gordon's teleportation ability?

Fitz:
[deflated] Well, now my news sounds less good.

Hunter:
Taking a bullet for me was stupid.

Bobbi:
Walking into a trap when you know it's a trap is stupid.

Mack:
What the hell took you so long?

Coulson:
It's a big boat. With poor signage.

Mack:
It's Gordon, right?

Gordon:
And you are?

Mack:
I'm the guy that kills Gordon.

Gordon:
I'm trapped in here! That's not possible! What did you do?

Fitz:
Science, biatch.
