Quotes 

• Mike Peterson : Did I beat Captain America's time?

  Trainer : Not even close.

• Mike Peterson : Agent Coulson?

  Phil Coulson : Mr. Peterson, if you could put that bulldozer back where you found it... we need you to suit up.

• Mike Peterson : They tried to take it off of me at the sci-ops facility. Realized they couldn't do it without killing me.

  Jemma Simmons : I'm afraid we're terribly curious. How did they stabilize the Extremis in you?

  Leo Fitz : And keep you from exploding?

  Jemma Simmons : Yeah.

  Mike Peterson : Oh, that wasn't them. That was you two.

  Leo Fitz : Come again?

  Jemma Simmons : What's that?

  Mike Peterson : Your gun. It somehow froze me right at the moment I was about to explode., helped my body absorb the serum, stabilize. Your weapon saved my life.

  Jemma Simmons : [scoffs]  Well...

  Mike Peterson : All that, and it didn't leave a scar, so...

  Jemma Simmons : Well, I...

  Leo Fitz : Well, I should think not.

  Jemma Simmons : Yeah, we couldn't have that, could we? It would be a shame if, especially if you're so, well, formed and symmetrical.

  Jemma Simmons : [to Leo]  Wh-when did you stop talking?

  Leo Fitz : About three embarrassing sentences ago.

• Mike Peterson : Agent Coulson, Agent May.

  [May says nothing and turns away coldly] 

  Phil Coulson : Last time you saw her, you threw her into a brick wall.

  Mike Peterson : Right.

  [pause] 

  Mike Peterson : First time around, I wasn't who I wanted to be, but now I get it. Having all this it's a privilege. And training to be an agent, working with SHIELD, it's me trying to do better, trying to be better. I just need you to give me a shot.

  Phil Coulson : Everyone deserves a second chance. But let me be clear: there will not be a third.
