- Skye: Hold on, are you saying that I'm an alien?
- Phil 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!
- Phil Coulson: I was trying not to rattle you.
- Skye: Guess what? Epic fail.
- Phil Coulson: [after searching for Skye's father] You're having one hell of a day, huh?
- [Skye starts crying]
- Phil Coulson: [Gives her a hug] It's okay. It's okay.
- Lance Hunter: So, is this a group-hug-type situation?
- Phil Coulson: You find anything?
- Lance Hunter: The place has been cleared out Must have left in a hurry. Agent May's checking the back room.
- Skye: [Sniffs] Have you been drinking?
- Lance Hunter: I was working. Had to maintain my cover.
- Skye: Your cover as what, Ron Burgundy?
- Leo Fitz: Why are you still staring at me?
- Jemma Simmons: Because you just admitted that I'm not real.
- Leo Fitz: Oh, please. I'm not gonna have this conversation with myself again.
- Lance Hunter: [Watching Coulson and Raina] The tiny girl in the flower dress? That's who everyone's making such a fuss about?
- Raina: It's good to see you, Agent Coulson.
- Phil Coulson: Raina.
- Raina: I was worried you weren't going to accept my invitation, but perhaps I wasn't the only one looking forward to our next meeting.
- Lance Hunter: Is she *hitting* on him?
- Melinda May: Yep. That's what she does.
- Skye: What about the writings you've been giving me? Why don't you tell me your source, and I'll follow up?
- Phil Coulson: I'm afraid that's classified.
- Lance Hunter: Well, you're the boss man. Maybe you could de-classify it.
- Phil Coulson: I could. I won't
- Lance Hunter: [Looks at the painting they took from Miami] I was a fat baby.
- Skye: You know this is, like, a religious painting, right?
- Lance Hunter: Yeah, well, when aliens started scribbling on the back of it, it kind of voided god's warranty, as far as I'm concerned.
- Skye: Tell me what you know about this.
- [Shows him a picture of the alien writing]
- Grant Ward: I first saw that when we were in Belarus... me and you... and later on, when Garrett started etching that in the glass.
- Skye: Garrett carved this stuff himself? Did he say what it was?
- Grant Ward: No, but he wasn't making a lot of sense after he was injected with the GH-formula.
- [Suddenly concerned]
- Grant Ward: These writings they're not yours, are they?
- [Gets a look]
- Grant Ward: Good. That's good, 'cause once Garrett started, he couldn't stop. The writing was anywhere he could carve it - on the walls, on the floor.
- Skye: [Thinks of Coulson speaks under her breathe] On his desk.
- Grant Ward: To be honest, I was almost relieved when S. H. I. E. L. D. put him down. The Garrett I knew was long gone once the writing started. And whatever took his place, I don't think it was meant to survive.
- Phil Coulson: First night I saw Garrett's writings... it just triggered something in me.
- Skye: What do you think caused it?
- Phil Coulson: The GH-formula, most likely. Garrett and I were both injected - not a coincidence.
- Skye: Yeah, but so was I, and I haven't written anything like that.
- Phil Coulson: Which is either very good, or... a whole different kind of scary, which is why we had to monitor you.
- Skye: Whoa. Wait. *Monitor*? That is a very specific word.
- Phil Coulson: We didn't tell you about this because we wanted to passively observe see if the writing would trigger something in you.
- Skye: So, what you guys put, like, tiny hidden cameras in my bunk?
- Phil Coulson: Not in your bunk - But I think you're focusing on the wrong details here.
- Skye: I didn't react the same way.
- Phil Coulson: Right. I believe Garrett and I had a negative reaction to the alien DNA in our system. Maybe you didn't... because it was already there.
- Jemma Simmons: I don't mean to sound ungrateful, because I am truly grateful, but who are you?
- Bobbi Morse: Bobbi Morse. Coulson sent me in to infiltrate HYDRA and keep an eye on you.
- Jemma Simmons: Well, you did a spot-on job, really. You were quite intimidating.
- Bobbi Morse: Sorry about that. I had to assess other security issues that were in play.
- Jemma Simmons: Yeah, like every HYDRA agent receiving an e-mail blowing my cover?
- Bobbi Morse: Yeah, that was a curve ball.
- Calvin Zabo: I hear you've been looking for this.
- [Shows him the Obelisk]
- Daniel Whitehall: The Obelisk!
- Calvin Zabo: In its native language it's called the Deviner. One of many little details I know about this thing.
- Daniel Whitehall: Can you tell me how to use it?
- Calvin Zabo: Better yet, I'll teach you how to survive it.
- Daniel Whitehall: Now why would you do that?
- Calvin Zabo: We share a common enemy: a guy named Phil Coulson. I thought maybe together you and I could kill him, along with, you know, everyone else.
- Antoine Triplett: [listening to Bobbi and Hunter bicker] What's the story there?
- Melinda May: Did Hunter ever tell you stories about his she-devil ex-wife?
- Antoine Triplett: All the time.
- [May nods at Bobbi]
- Antoine Triplett: Damn.
- Jemma Simmons: What sort of hell cow produces carmine milk?
- Kenneth Turgeon: I don't know. File just says "Bessie".
- Phil Coulson: Tell me where to find the Obelisk.
- Raina: I'm afraid it's out of my hands.
- Phil Coulson: That really doesn't work for me. I've seen what that thing can do. It's too dangerous to be out in the real world.
- Raina: You've only seen the beginning. Just because something's powerful doesn't make it dangerous.
- Phil Coulson: In this case, it's more the death and destruction.
- Raina: You must believe me, Agent Coulson we want the same thing.
- Phil Coulson: Unless it's an end to this conversation, I'm pretty sure we don't.
- Phil Coulson: I don't like being threatened.
- Raina: This isn't a threat. It's a gesture of goodwill. I would like nothing more than to delete that photo.
- Phil Coulson: And in return, what do you want?
- Raina: From you? Nothing. But I will need to take Skye with me.
- Phil Coulson: Excuse me? What in the hell is this really about? And why, also in the hell, do you think I would ever let that happen?
- Raina: To prevent every HYDRA employee from receiving an automated e-mail with that photo.
- [Hits a button on her phone]
- Raina: You have two minutes, after which, there's nothing I can do.
- Calvin Zabo: [after Raina asks him for the Obelisk] It's the only thing that will make her understand... understand me. I won't turn it over. I'm sorry.
- Raina: Daniel Whitehall will cut me to pieces.
- Calvin Zabo: [Unmoved by this] Yes. He will. I suggest you go back to his office and beg to him. Maybe he's turned soft in his old age.
- Raina: [Moves to the door] I really wanted to bring you Skye.
- Calvin Zabo: That's not her name.
- Bartender: Eight went down... dead.
- Sunil Bakshi: And the others?
- Bartender: Some sick, everyone else scared, but very much alive.
- Sunil Bakshi: How disappointing. Return immediately to give your report personally. Dr. Whitehall will not be pleased to hear that we, again, have failed.
- Raina: I'm in trouble.
- Skye's Father: And here I thought you were bringing me good news.
- Raina: I need the Obelisk back...
- [Gets a harsh look]
- Raina: ... Temporarily, just until I can make other arrangements.
- Skye's Father: And what about ours? After all these years, I thought you'd show more respect.
- Raina: [Desperate] Please, I beg you...
- Skye's Father: [Harsh] Don't beg. It reminds me of what you were when I found you. Hungry, in the streets, with just those fairy tales your grandmother told you.
- Raina: You said you'd make them come true.
- Skye's Father: You said you'd bring me my girl.
- Raina: And I did.
- Skye's Father: You brought me a picture and a promise. I still only have the picture.
