Quotes 

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

  Leo Fitz : By you.

  Grant Ward : And people got hurt.

  Leo Fitz : By you.

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

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

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

  Phil Coulson : Watch it, Ward!

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

  Jemma Simmons : After you killed how many people?

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

  Grant 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?

  [dramatic pause] 

  Skye : I'm still happy I shot you.

  Leo Fitz : Yeah, me too.

  Jemma Simmons : Should've aimed for the face.

• Phil Coulson : [Hydra has just blown up their ship while the team is on the Quinnjet, hoping to hide among the ship's debris. The Quinnjet is being rocked and shimmied around the sky with burning chunks of the ship falling all around it]  I'm starting to think this wasn't a very good plan. Is there anything you can do about the drop?

  Melinda May : Not if you want Hydra to believe we're debris.

  Phil Coulson : I'm really startin' to wish I hadn't eaten that Hot Pocket earlier.

• Phil Coulson : Since when did you become a high ranking member of team Gonzales?

  Melinda May : Someone had to run the base while you were gone. Having a seat allowed me to keep you safe.

  Phil Coulson : I was fine on my own.

  Melinda May : Seems that's how you operate best.

  Phil Coulson : What the hell is that supposed to mean?

  Melinda May : That you've been lying to me. Every since S.H.I.E.L.D. fell, all those overseas trips you were taking. They were never about recruiting new agents were they? You want to tell me what Theta Protocol is?

  Phil Coulson : No.

  Melinda May : Because you don't trust me.

  Phil Coulson : Because you're not the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

  Melinda May : Neither are you.

• Bobbi Morse : We've got a problem. Without Deathlok's feed we don't have eyes on the ground.

  Grant Ward : Not true, I have a man working on the inside, Sunil Bakshi.

  Bobbi Morse : I know Bakshi, he's a HYDRA agent.

  Grant Ward : Not anymore, now he works for me.

  Melinda May : Says the HYDRA agent.

  Grant Ward : My days with HYDRA are over. Just an independent contractor trying to make amends.

  Robert Gonzales : We remain skeptical.

• Melinda May : We all had our traumas, Ward. Didn't turn any of us into psychopaths.

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

  Phil Coulson : Watch it, Ward.
