Elizabeth Henstridge: Jemma Simmons

Quotes 

• Jemma Simmons : There's no principal that would support Telekinesis.

  Leo Fitz : Not yet. We did believe for a bit, though, remember? Freshman year? When Sally Webber made the books fall off the table in neurobiology?

  Jemma Simmons : Oh, well, that was a particularly cruel prank.

  Leo Fitz : You screamed like a girl.

  Jemma Simmons : I am a girl!

• Phil Coulson : Ward, take a firearm. Escort Fitz-Simmons downstairs, assess the damage, get us up and running.

  Jemma Simmons : Wait. Guys, um where's Fitz?

  Leo Fitz : [Cut to Fitz, locked in a closet]  Hello? Can anybody hear me? What the hell's happening? Did we crash? Who was screaming? This is not funny, Jemma, if this is a prank. This is a prank.

• Leo Fitz : Things got out of hand. May sorted it out. She's the Cavalry.

  Skye : Where does that name come from, anyway?

  Leo Fitz : You don't know?

  Jemma Simmons : Didn't Ward tell you?

  [Skye shakes her hand] 

  Jemma Simmons : Of course not. You spent no time at the academy. It's quite a story.

  Skye : Yeah, well, Ward isn't exactly a chatty S. O.

  Leo Fitz : Well, imagine if you will a heavily secured compound. Manama, Bahrain. Multiple S. H. I. E. L. D. agents are taken hostage, tortured for information. May's mission: eliminate the threat.

  Skye : You mean kill people.

  Jemma Simmons : Not people: entire squads of mercenaries; almost 100.

  Leo Fitz : More than 100.

  Jemma Simmons : More than 100 men, heavily armed. Her vehicle got totaled, so she rode in.

  Leo Fitz : And, um, she had a M249 in each hand.

  Jemma Simmons : Right. In each hand. And she rode in on a horse.

  Leo Fitz : Hence the name

  [Whispers] 

  Leo Fitz : the Cavalry.

  Skye : Is this real?

  Jemma Simmons : She eliminated the enemy threat single-handedly.

  Leo Fitz : She saw a lot of hurt that day.

  Skye : Is that why she's so...

  Jemma Simmons : Happy?

• Jemma Simmons : All I can tell from these brain waves is that she's upset.

  Skye : You need a computer for that?

• Jemma Simmons : It makes no sense for a man to complain about safety issues whilst causing them. Another theory is...

  Grant Ward : Theories don't matter. Only facts, and the fact is, a bullet will take you out of whatever world you're in.

• Grant Ward : That isn't a word in our language.

  Jemma Simmons : Our language? You mean the English language, first spoken in England?
