Quotes 

• Phil Coulson : Mr. Chan, believe it or not, this could still get worse.

  Chan Ho Yin : Bend someone long enough and they break. Poor little Chan Ho Yen may have believed your lies... but not Scorch!

  Melinda May : Who?

  Phil Coulson : Oh, crap. They gave him a name.

• Grant Ward : You can't save someone from themselves, sir.

  Phil Coulson : You can if you get to them early enough.

  [Looks at Skye] 

• Skye : [about the subjects on the Index]  How are they monitored? Tapped phones? Satellite surveillance... body probes? In dark, unpleasant places?

  Leo Fitz : Body probes, that's ridiculous, SHIELD doesn't do that. We don't do that...

  [Looks at Coulson] 

  Leo Fitz : Do we?

  Phil Coulson : The methods vary.

• Phil Coulson : Go ahead, say it.

  Melinda May : I don't do petty.

  Phil Coulson : But you called it. I trusted my gut even though you said she was a risk.

  Melinda May : When someone breaks into my house, I usually don't invite them to stay. But that's me.

  Phil Coulson : That's me too. Then that alien staff when through my heart.

  Melinda May : Sure it didn't go through the brain?

  Phil Coulson : You really don't do comforting either do you?

• Melinda May : [Speaking Chinese]  Chan, I'm sorry you lived a life you didn't want, but violence will solve nothing.

  Chan Ho Yin : [Also in Chinese]  It will keep me from being kept prisoner. By you, by them; there's no difference. I was given this gift for a reason. To burn bright.

  Melinda May : [Still Chinese]  There's no turning back.

  Chan Ho Yin : [Chinese]  I don't want to go back!

  Phil Coulson : [Looks at May]  So we're good, right?

• Melinda May : His file say anything about him being homicidal?

  Phil Coulson : Just said he was kind of a tool.

• Leo Fitz : Miles Lydon, not Skye - that's to all of our relief.

  Phil Coulson : [to Skye]  You know him.

  Skye : Every hacker in the world knows him.

  Jemma Simmons : Not just the hacker world. He infiltrated the *Kremlin*

  Leo Fitz : Yeah, the picture of, uh, Putin shirtless on horseback, that was his hack.

• Phil Coulson : You've got two choices - take what's in this box, or we put you in a slightly bigger one.

• Melinda May : Everyone, this is Agent Kwan, Chan Ho Yin's case agent. What can you tell us?

  Agent Kwan : [On video-conference]  Not much, I'm afraid. Chan is a magician, so at first, I thought he'd made himself disappear.

  Phil Coulson : File said you caught him violating his index agreement before.

  Agent Kwan : On two separate occasions - Claimed we were "hampering his artistic expression". But late last night, he was taken by professionals. The only thing they left behind Was this scrap of aluminized material.

  Jemma Simmons : Fireproof clothing.

  Grant Ward : So whoever took him knew about his power.

  Agent Kwan : Yes, and we think we know why. Over the last few days, Tech division discovered a crack into our data stream. It's the same cyber punks who hacked us before. Somehow, they got in *again*. It's the Rising Tide.

  [Everyone turns and stares at Skye] 

  Agent Kwan : Hello? It got real quiet. You guys still there?

• Phil Coulson : [Watching Skye hack]  How close are we?

  Leo Fitz : She's identified the remote-access Trojan and the infected endpoint...

  Jemma Simmons : ...And is searching for a tcp to correlate the hypertext with signature information and then, Voila.

  Leo Fitz : ...Bob's your uncle.

  Phil Coulson : You get any of that?

  Grant Ward : Only the uncle part.

• Phil Coulson : [about the Centipede facility]  Building has five floors. The first four are research.Fifth is listed as maintenance, but uses half the building's energy.

  Agent Kwan : Either they're guarding the world's largest vacuum...

  Phil Coulson : Or that's where Chan's being held.
