Quotes
-
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?
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
