Joey: Okay, so are we rescuing Inhumans or saving Coulson? Or attacking HYDRA? Or is there some kind of combo? Sorry, new guy just trying to understand how this whole S.H.I.E.L.D. thing works.
Hunter: This is how S.H.I.E.L.D. works. Make a plan. Plan turns to rubbish. Make a new plan. Oh just to be crystal clear, this is the part where the plan turns to rubbish.

Ward: You know, everyone had this place wrong. It isn't death. It's a new beginning. Malick was right, this was all meant to be. The fact that you followed me here. That we're in this together. That just confirms the fact that I am part of a grand plan. I see that now.
Coulson: I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
Ward: You will.

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.

Bring it back my friend. Be the one that finishes what HYDRA started. We're making history today.

Gideon

I always thought Fitz would give up the world for you. Looks like now he finally has his chance.

Ward

Ward: Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. There's a much simpler way to make you talk.
Fitz: Leave Simmons alone.
Ward: See first thought I had when we met was, wow this guy's really carrying a torch. It was sweet, really. Not adult sweet, more like a cartoon puppy dog with his heart beating outside its chest.
Fitz: Don't do this.
Ward: I even told you to make a move before it was too late. Guess what? Too late.
Fitz: Please.
Ward: Just tell me how she came back and this all ends. Simple as that.

If Coulson doesn't make it out, you get that closure you've been searching for. Closure's not something I ever put much stock in. What I believe in, is moving forward. Never looking back.

Gideon

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.

Coulson: Sounds like there's a lot you're willing to forgive.
Daisy: I will never forgive him. He murdered Rosalind just to hurt you. He killed Koenig because of me.
Coulson: He knew once Koenig outed him as HYDRA he'd lose you.
Daisy: And the sad part is, that's when I finally understood him for the first time. The reason Ward kills isn't because he feels nothing. It's because he feels too much.

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.

Thousands of years ago, an Inhuman was born on this planet that was destined to rule it. So powerful, so fearsome, that others were consumed with dread and so they banished it from the Earth. Sent it through the portal to a distant planet. HYDRA was founded with the sole purpose of engineering its return.
