Wednesdays 9:00 PM on ABCJemma Simmons Quotes
Gideon: So how long do we have once the portal reopens?
Mr. Giyera: 73 seconds.
Simmons: He's wrong. Your team's calculations are off at 61. 12 seconds might not seem like much, but on that planet it can be the difference between life and death.
Gideon: Thank you.
Simmons: I'm not doing it for you. Don't want you all mucking up Fitz's return.
Gideon: Did you notice the Hebrew word Maveth carved around the castle?
Simmons: Death.
Gideon: That's right, well death is the only thing returning through that portal. Fitz is just an offering to show it the door.
Fitz: We're never going to help you open another bloody portal.
Gideon: Nobody's asking you to. See, HYDRA's been opening one portal or another for centuries. All it takes is a few stones and a building with just the right vibrational frequency.
Fitz: What's all this about then?
Gideon: The other thing.
Simmons: They don't know how to get back.
Gideon: We're just about to open up the portal. I thought you might want to come and see for yourself.
Simmons: Anyone who goes to that planet will die. That thing on the other side drives people mad.
Gideon: Well that's certainly an interesting theory. Here's another, it wants to come back. And after all these years we've finally found someone to help us do that.
Simmons: I'll never help you bring that thing back, no matter how much you hurt me.
Gideon: Which is why we've agreed to stop hurting you, so that he'd go instead.
Fitz: Do you love him?
Simmons: I don't know. I think... yes.
Fitz: Yeah, of course you do. He's strong and smart. And you gave each other hope on the edge of nowhere.
Simmons: Don't do this Fitz.
Fitz: You think I didn't look for dirt on him? I did, and there's nothing. I can't hate him, he's great. Why else would you fall for him? He did everything right.
Simmons: And you dove through a hole in the universe for me.
Simmons: Do you remember when we first met? I do. You were so quiet and pasty. So incredibly smart. Handsome. Quite a strange feeling, isn't it? Never wanting to be without someone. You must've been so annoyed me following you around all the time.
Fitz: No. Never.
Fitz: So when you said all those things about... I mean, you were tired and dehydrated.
Simmons: I was as clear headed then as I've ever been, when I said all those things. What do you think we should do about it?
Fitz: For now, let's just watch the sunrise.
I don't know what happened to him. If he's alive or dead. But I never would have survived without him.
Will: That thing has been killing everyone that's come through here for centuries.
Jemma: How long have people known about the monolith? And why keep sending people when there's no way back? It's as if they're being sacrificed.
Jemma: Perhaps it's best if we start over since we're going to be working together.
Will: Working together? On what?
Jemma: On getting home.
Will: There's no getting home. Sooner you accept that the better. Survival's all that matters.
Jemma: I will not accept that. There's always hope.
This is Doctor Jemma Simmons updating the file on the monolith Fitz and I have been studying. I now know that it is an alternating matter transportation device. A portal. Quite remarkable really, I've been transported to an unknown planet. In a different solar system.
Everyone always said we could read each others minds, Fitz. So, I really need you to read mine right now. I'm alive, but I'm terribly alone and afraid. So I really need you to come and get me, okay? I know you won't give up, so I won't either.
Jemma: You were right, there's no hope on this planet.
Will: That's what I used to think. Then you showed up.
