Quotes

Agent Eric Koenig : You wash up on a deserted island alone. Sitting on the sand is a box. What is in that box?
Melinda May : Machete.
Antoine Triplett : A sat phone so I can call someone to get me off that island.
Leo Fitz : How big is the box?
Agent Eric Koenig : Just say the first answer that comes into your mind. What's in that box?
Leo Fitz : Simmons.
Jemma Simmons : That's a hard one. Let me think. The Tardis.
Skye : I want to say my laptop, fully charged. But I don't want to seem subversive - with the Rising Tide and all...
Agent Eric Koenig : You're over-thinking it.
Skye : The laptop would be stupid, anyway. There's no wi-fi.
-
Agent Eric Koenig : What's the difference between an egg and a rock?
Melinda May : Edible. Not.
Jemma Simmons : Well, that's absurd. The differences are innumerable.
Leo Fitz : If you want, I can start listing them, but then we'll be here all day.
-
Lian May : You can call anybody you like. Why me?
Melinda May : I needed someone I can trust.
Lian May : That bad, huh?

Phil Coulson : I assume the prisoners are no longer prisoners.
Skye : So... Ian Quinn...
Grant Ward : I'm sorry. He's out. They all are.
Leo Fitz : And Garrett? Did he get away?
Grant Ward : Couldn't stop him taking The Fridge, but I wasn't gonna let Garrett walk... Not after what he did.
Skye : Is he the one who did this to you?
Grant Ward : He was a tough son of a bitch.
Melinda May : "Was? Past tense?
Grant Ward : Soon as I had the upper hand, I put two in the back of his head.
Leo Fitz : Good.
Grant Ward : One from me... One from you.
Antoine Triplett : I would have emptied the mag.
-
Lian May : You're not gonna take her out, are you?
Melinda May : No, mom, I just wanna talk.
Lian May : Good. I've always liked Maria.
-
Melinda May : We have to go.
Lian May : Five hundred miles.
Melinda May : What?
Lian May : Five hundred miles and I don't even get a "thank you".
Melinda May : I was just about to...
Lian May : It's too late.
Melinda May : Thank you.
Lian May : I said too late.

Melinda May : I remember when you brought Daniels in. I know how personal this is for you, but...
Phil Coulson : We don't do personal... not anymore.
Melinda May : Phil, the polygraph cleared me. I'm not hiding anything.
Phil Coulson : You mean you're not hiding *anything* else, unless you *do* know who was behind the Tahiti project.
Melinda May : I didn't ask. I was ordered not to. And you would have done the same thing. Our job is to follow orders.
Phil Coulson : It's also our job to determine right from wrong. Watching someone in agony, searching for the truth, not saying anything - that's wrong.
Melinda May : Look, I was just trying...
Phil Coulson : And don't tell me it's because you care so damn much. Fury's no longer around telling you what to do, so why are you here? You want some orders to follow? Follow mine, or find somewhere else to be.
