Quotes 

• Jemma Simmons : [Exacting a data container from Agent Shaw]  Whatever you do, don't breathe. That was a joke. You should, of course, feel comfortable breathing if you need to, just not through your nose. And very minimally through your mouth.

  [Pulls the container out through his nose] 

  Phil Coulson : That's all the intel you recovered?

  Agent Shaw : I certainly hope so.

  Phil Coulson : Well, uh, thank you, Agent Shaw, for keeping it safe... up there.

• Victoria Hand : I need a two-man team to sneak across the disputed border undetected, break into the separatist stronghold, and disable the weapon in the next 24 hours. And you have two people who fit my bill.

  Melinda May : Not a problem.

  Grant Ward : I was in Georgia during the incursion in '08. I still have contacts on the South Ossetian border.

  Victoria Hand : And you'll have to use them. But we don't have specs on the device, so I need someone on the team who can identify and dismantle it on-site.

  Grant Ward : Do you mean...?

  Phil Coulson : I think she does.

  Leo Fitz : [Cut to Fitz pushing a cart full of gadgets]  I found a localized E.M.P., plus a few other party favors.

  [the door shuts on the cart] 

  Leo Fitz : Oh, come on. What the - Open! It's stuck! The cart's stuck. That's unbelievable.

  [Tries to pry the door open] 

  Leo Fitz : What the hell? Who designed this? In the Hub, of all places.

  [tries to push the cart through the door and it shuts in his face] 

  Grant Ward : ...Seriously?

• Phil Coulson : [catching Skye accessing classified information]  What did I tell you?

  Skye : You told me to trust the system. And the system just sent Ward and Fitz in there to die.

• Grant Ward : Thanks for coming to get us, sir.

  Phil Coulson : We take care of our own.

• Phil Coulson : [In a sketchy interrogation room]  I don't mean to alarm you, but I think you may have a mold problem. That sink with the standing water seems especially concerning.

• SHIELD Clerk : Company.

  Phil Coulson : Yes, I need access to a restricted file. Bravo Charlie Yankee 307604.

  SHIELD Clerk : Authorization code?

  Phil Coulson : X-ray 2896.

  SHIELD Clerk : You're looking for a death and recovery report, sir?

  Phil Coulson : Yes. For a SHIELD agent, mostly interested in his recovery. It took place in Tahiti.

  SHIELD Clerk : I'm sorry, but you don't have access to that document, sir.

  Phil Coulson : There must be some mistake. I'm level 8, I have clearance for that file.

  SHIELD Clerk : The system indicates that you don't. Would you like to submit a formal request to Director Fury, sir?

  Phil Coulson : No. Thank you.

• Skye : On the plane, you're always telling me to think outside the box, so I went off book 'cause I was trying to watch their backs.

  Phil Coulson : Our team can go off book because there is a book. A Hub. An organization watching our backs

• Victoria Hand : It must be nice to be off that plane. I understand you're almost through your recovery.

  Phil Coulson : The plane has nothing to do with my recovery.

  Victoria Hand : I only know what I've read. Seems Fury has a soft spot for his favorites. Not everyone gets sent to Tahiti.
