You died. There's no way you can go through a trauma like that and not come out of it changed.

May

I'm doing what we always do. We're going to fix this. Together.

Fitz

I wanted it to be a person. Some super powered psychopath. Someone I could hurt. Someone I could punish. That I could do. What I can't do is protect you guys from stuff I can't even see or understand.

Ward

I've been where you are right now so please believe me when I tell you you don't have to be afraid.

Coulson

You and Simmons are so tight, it's like you're psychically linked.

Skye

Simmons: This is the victim's brain.
Coulson: It looks like a burnt baked potato.

I even let them tag me like a stray dog.

We don't want to hurt you Chin. I'm sorry, but we have too.

Coulson

Coulson: Go ahead, say it.
May: I don't do petty.
Coulson: But you called it. I trusted my gut even though you said she was a risk.
May: When someone breaks into my house, I usually don't invite them to stay. But that's me.
Coulson: That's me too. Then that alien staff when through my heart.
May: Sure it didn't go through the brain?
Coulson: You really don't do comforting either do you?
