Quotes 

• Ian Quinn : S.H.I.E.L.D.'s against everything you stand for. They're big brother.

  Skye : Maybe, but they're the nice big brother who stands up for his helpless little brother when he's getting beat up because he ate a piece of cake that he wasn't... you know, you kidnapped a person!

• Grant Ward : And the attackers?

  Phil Coulson : Invisible.

  Skye : Wait, invisible? Cool.

  [Grant glares] 

  Skye : But terrible.

• Grant Ward : Do you know the hardest thing about boxing?

  Skye : Getting punched in the face?

• Quinn's Main Guard : [after Skye takes Quinn's gun]  Kid's got balls.

  Skye : Thanks, but yuck.

  Ian Quinn : But do you have what it takes to pull the trigger?

  Skye : ...Nope.

  [Skye turns around, jumps off the balcony and into the pool] 

• Skye : [Doing a fitness workout]  Why do I even have to do this? I'm sure Fitz-Simmons' supervising officer didn't make them do this muscle stuff.

  Grant Ward : You said you wanted to be a field Agent, like Coulson. Well, if you'd like to switch disciplines...

  [shouts to Jemma] 

  Grant Ward : Hey, Simmons. What did your S.O. give you guys for morning drills?

  Jemma Simmons : [excited]  Oh, atomistic attribute drills. Yeah, we'd name the mechanical, chemical, thermal...

  Leo Fitz : ...Electrical properties of materials.

  Skye : [to Ward]  Okay, okay. They made your point.

• Skye : You said you could go in with a man inside.

  Melinda May : And you want to be that man?

  Skye : Fitz-Simmons loved the guy, and he needs help. They could be torturing him, or worse, making him do *strength-training*.

  Grant Ward : But you don't have the background or clearance or experience with any of this.

  Skye : I know.

  [Holds up her phone] 

  Skye : But I've got an invitation.

  [pauses to smile smugly, then continues normally] 

  Skye : Well, technically, it's an e-vite.

• Grant Ward : You're going in with no self-defense skills...

  Skye : I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

  Grant Ward : You need muscle memory, fundamentals, the tools to turn yourself...

  Skye : [Sarcastic]  Into a whole bag of tools?

• Leo Fitz : Gravitonium. It's an extremely rare high-atomic numbered element.

  Jemma Simmons : That powers the device. It's so extremely rare that most people didn't believe it existed, much less the theory that an isolated positive charge...

  Leo Fitz : ...Would turn the flow from isotropic...

  Skye : [Interrupts]  Guys, high-school dropout here. How does the device work again?

  Jemma Simmons : Well, Gravitonium distorts gravity fields within itself, causing an undulating, amorphous shape.

  Leo Fitz : Which causes these

  [Points to the screen] 

  Leo Fitz : Um, wiggly bits here, but when an electric current is applied, the Gravitonium solidifies. And those gravity fields erupt, randomly changing the rules of gravity around it. Well, so, now you can imagine what would happen to a big rig at 100 kilometers per hour.

  [Slight pause] 

  Leo Fitz : Or, uh, well, you could just remember, 'cause we saw it already, didn't we?
