Elizabeth Henstridge: Jemma Simmons

Quotes 

• Jeffrey Mace : Agent Simmons?

  Jeffrey Mace : So you're saying it's a little risky.

  Jemma Simmons : I'm saying it's Russian roulette. You've been fortunate so far, but the next injection might cause cardiac arrest. And if it doesn't, the one after is even more likely to kill you, and so on and so on until...

  Jeffrey Mace : Geez. Don't sugarcoat it, Doc. And by that, I mean, please, go ahead and sugarcoat it.

  Jemma Simmons : [sighs]  I'm sorry. I know General Talbot was hoping to replicate what was done to Steve Rogers, but

  Jemma Simmons : but you'll never be Captain America.

  Jeffrey Mace : But, you know, I agreed not to take the serum until you completed the medical tests. I'm even in daily physical conditioning, learning to fight.

  Jemma Simmons : Yeah, and I hear you're doing well.

  Jeffrey Mace : Agent Piper had me pinned in 10 seconds this morning.

  Jemma Simmons : Tomorrow, it will be 12.

  Jeffrey Mace : No, you don't understand. I need my strength. We're already a man down.

  Jemma Simmons : Look, we are all doing everything to find Agent May.

  Jeffrey Mace : I know. And I'm a team player. I'm willing to play any position that gets us the win. But I already went from head coach to quarterback, and now you're telling me I'm gonna be on the bench for the season?

  Jemma Simmons : Sir

  [Chuckles] 

  Jemma Simmons : I have no doubt you will find your place on the footie squad.

  Jemma Simmons : Already? Incredible. He's gone from an explosive gas to a fully functional...

  Daisy 'Skye' Johnson : Jackass?

• Jemma Simmons : Did you just explode Mr. Shockley?
