Quotes 

• Melinda May : "You'll never take us alive"? Really? That's a little over the top, don't you think?

  Phil Coulson : I only had a day to come up with this whole thing. Besides, if I let you write the script, no one would say anything.

• Phil Coulson : I shouldn't have to ask any of you to save one of our own.

  Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie : You never ask! You just give your orders, no matter cracked out they are!

  Melinda May : Mack, you'd do well to remember your rank right now.

  Lance Hunter : Really? Rank at a time like this - why don't you shove your rank up your...

  Bobbi Morse : Not helping, Hunter.

  Skye : Guys, stop.

  Lance Hunter : No, it's cathartic. Do you have any thoughts of your own on it, or do you just parrot his?

  Melinda May : Coulson's trying to stop Hydra.

  Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie : We didn't stop anything! We unleashed something on the planet!

  Skye : Please.

  Leo Fitz : No one knows what happened yet.

  Melinda May : It could have been a lot worse.

  Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie : And Skye barely made it out alive!

  Melinda May : Thanks to Trip - he sacrificed his life, Mack!

  Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie : No! He traded his life for hers! And then he was shattered into a thousand pieces!

  Phil Coulson : That's enough! If Trip was here. He wouldn't be arguing, he wouldn't be bitching. He would be gearing up to do what needs to be done. Yes, we're dealing with forces we don't understand, but Hydra I *do* understand. I want everyone ready when the sun comes up - end of discussion.

• Skye : Did you find Raina's body yet?

  Phil Coulson : There's a lot of rubble to dig through, but not yet. Whatever gas came out of that obelisk hit you, too. That's why we're being extra cautious. It's hard to make sense of all of this.

  Skye : What? No, it - No, it isn't. We lost. We failed.

  Phil Coulson : Skye, don't say that.

  Skye : It wasn't because of Hydra. It was because of me.

  Phil Coulson : Don't blame yourself.

  Skye : If I didn't go down there, you could have blown the place!

  Phil Coulson : That was one battle. This is a war.

  Skye : And Ward and my father - the rotten core the center of everything!

  Phil Coulson : We did not fail! Trip prevented a disaster, and Whitehall's dead. We cut off the head. And while Hydra scrambles for a new one, I will crush them! I'm gonna make someone pay - whoever the hell it is.
