- Grant Ward: Do you believe I'm telling you the truth?
- Skye: [Nods] I just don't know why. I don't know what you hope to achieve by it.
- Grant Ward: I don't hope for me. I hope for you.
- [pause]
- Grant Ward: I know something, and I want you to believe me when I say it.
- [Stands up and walks towards her]
- Grant Ward: Your father is alive. He's looking for you. And some day, if you let me, I'll take you to him.
- Phil Coulson: What am I hearing?
- Lance Hunter: Agent May shot me.
- Phil Coulson: Repeat?
- Lance Hunter: May shot me.
- Antoine Triplett: Man, I wanted to be the one.
- Jemma Simmons: Do you remember Donnie Gill?
- Phil Coulson: I mean, I knew he was a gifted scientist, but you're saying he's... a *gifted* scientist.
- Leo Fitz: Is there anything more?
- Phil Coulson: That I'm keeping from you? Yeah. I'm Director. There's a helluva lot more.
- Grant Ward: Hydra's protocol on gifteds is pretty straightforward. An acquisition team is sent out to convince or capture the gifted. If those two options aren't possible, then they'll take them out.
- Skye: Even if the gifted doesn't pose a threat?
- Grant Ward: A gifted that refuses Hydra is a threat. And threats are taken care of quickly.
- Skye: That's the difference between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.
- Grant 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.
- Lance Hunter: Skye, you cover the door.
- Skye: You don't give the orders, Trainspotting.
- Lance Hunter: I'm not Scottish!
- Phil Coulson: Did you think I wouldn't find out?
- [Opens her fridge]
- Phil Coulson: Sriracha? Beer? That's all? What kind of diet is that?
- Jemma Simmons: Well, I also have tea. And if my diet's such a concern, then perhaps dead drops shouldn't involve fast food.
- Phil Coulson: We'll revisit that protocol.
- Skye: [after practicing at the shooting range] I imagined they were all Ward.
- Melinda May: Imagine they're all targets. Don't get cocky. This is step one.
- Melinda May: It's all about...
- Melinda May, Skye: Control.
- Skye: I know.
- Melinda May, Skye: Over your mind, your body.
- Melinda 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.
- Melinda May: [Checks monitor on Skye's wrist] 61 beats per minute. Consistent the whole time. Not that puny
- Lance Hunter: [about to parachute out of the plane] Your first jump?
- Skye: Second. First was with Coulson and Lola. It's a car. It flies...
- [Gets blank look]
- Skye: Yeah, this is my first.
- Jemma Simmons: Morning, Theo!
- Theo: That smile; a breath of sunshine in an otherwise dreary morning.
- Jemma Simmons: Oh, you're too sweet. And you mix your metaphors.
- Kenneth Turgeon: Ms. Simmons, I need everything you have on the samples you're working on.
- Jemma Simmons: I'm not done. I'm testing a second set of dn...
- Kenneth Turgeon: Right. Just whatever you have.
- Jemma Simmons: What I have is more questions than answers.
- Kenneth Turgeon: Okay, know what? I get it. You don't have time. Neither do I. The time tables have moved up, and I have been called upstairs to fill them in. No prep time, no powerpoint, just me, pants around my ankles, talking out of my butt.
- Jemma Simmons: If you want, I could accompany you, present my analysis...
- Kenneth Turgeon: Oh, no, y-you don't want to go up there. The higher you go... the scarier it is.
- Daniel Whitehall: I believe in second chances. I want us to work together. I want you to become a valued member of our organization. Surrender... and you will find meaning. Surrender... and you will find release. Take a deep breath. Calm your mind. You know what's best. What's best is you comply. Compliance will be rewarded. Are you ready to comply, Agent 33?
- Agent 33: I will never work for Hydra!
- Daniel Whitehall: I expected it would be a long night. Why I decided to treat myself.
- Sunil Bakshi: Let's discuss your previous employer. Why did you join S.H.I.E.L.D. in the first place?
- Jemma Simmons: I was a 17-year-old girl with two Phds and a million questions. S.H.I.E.L.D. had the resources to help me answer them. Now they don't, and Hydra does.
- Sunil Bakshi: So your loyalties are with us?
- Jemma Simmons: My loyalties are with science. So long as Hydra allows me to do the work I want to be doing, then, yes, my loyalties are with Hydra.
- Sunil Bakshi: Well, loyalties can be tested.
- Phil Coulson: Maribel del Mar. Anchored in the port of Casablanca. It's a privately owned cargo ship. Supposed to cast off this morning but didn't. It's frozen in ice.
- Antoine Triplett: Iceberg in the middle east? Gill's not subtle.
- Ship's Captain: You have no idea what you are bringing down on yourself. We will find you.
- Donnie Gill: I know. I want to be left alone, but you people won't stop coming after me! So I'm done hiding. It's time Hydra learned once and for all. I'm not interested. I'm not afraid...
- [Freezes the Captain]
- Donnie Gill: I'm pissed off!
- Sunil Bakshi: [Going to apprehend Donnie] I'll be listening to everything. You run into any trouble, I'll be in your ear, talking you through it.
- Jemma Simmons: And what if he doesn't respond well?
- Sunil Bakshi: Then I suppose there'll be a job opening at our laboratory.
