Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV Series)

The Asset (2013)

Brett Dalton: Grant Ward

Quotes 

• Grant Ward : I need a new strategy.

  Phil Coulson : Try no strategy. Stop thinking like an operative, start thinking like a person. Maybe Skye will let that person help her.

  Grant Ward : Help her what?

  Phil Coulson : Think like an operative.

• Grant Ward : I know Director Fury felt he owes you after you scarified yourself.

  Phil Coulson : And my card collection.

• Grant Ward : And the attackers?

  Phil Coulson : Invisible.

  Skye : Wait, invisible? Cool.

  [Grant glares] 

  Skye : But terrible.

• Grant Ward : Do you know the hardest thing about boxing?

  Skye : Getting punched in the face?

• Skye : [Doing a fitness workout]  Why do I even have to do this? I'm sure Fitz-Simmons' supervising officer didn't make them do this muscle stuff.

  Grant Ward : You said you wanted to be a field Agent, like Coulson. Well, if you'd like to switch disciplines...

  [shouts to Jemma] 

  Grant Ward : Hey, Simmons. What did your S.O. give you guys for morning drills?

  Jemma Simmons : [excited]  Oh, atomistic attribute drills. Yeah, we'd name the mechanical, chemical, thermal...

  Leo Fitz : ...Electrical properties of materials.

  Skye : [to Ward]  Okay, okay. They made your point.

• Skye : You said you could go in with a man inside.

  Melinda May : And you want to be that man?

  Skye : Fitz-Simmons loved the guy, and he needs help. They could be torturing him, or worse, making him do *strength-training*.

  Grant Ward : But you don't have the background or clearance or experience with any of this.

  Skye : I know.

  [Holds up her phone] 

  Skye : But I've got an invitation.

  [pauses to smile smugly, then continues normally] 

  Skye : Well, technically, it's an e-vite.

• Grant Ward : You're going in with no self-defense skills...

  Skye : I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

  Grant Ward : You need muscle memory, fundamentals, the tools to turn yourself...

  Skye : [Sarcastic]  Into a whole bag of tools?
