- Melinda May: It's not what you think, Coulson. It's just an Icer.
- Phil Coulson: This one is not. It's real, with real bullets.
- Skye: Ward said that the Clairvoyant knew how to push all the right buttons.
- Phil Coulson: Raina did that to me, too.
- Skye: Did she mention your father's death?
- [Gesturing to a file on a tablet]
- Skye: Your psych evaluation called it "a defining moment". These aren't just personality tests. They're surveillance on every agent pictures, stats, where you've been stationed, who you'd visit, where you'd like to eat.
- Phil Coulson: [Reading] Dinners at the Richmond. He's been monitoring us. Think about it. The Clairvoyant only knew you'd be at Quinn's villa...
- Skye: After I dropped a tracker. And the only thing he's had trouble seeing is what happened to you after you died.
- Phil Coulson: Because Director Fury wouldn't release that file to anyone.
- Skye: [Realizing where this is going] No...
- Phil Coulson: The Clairvoyant doesn't have abilities. He has security clearance. He's an agent of SHIELD.
- Agent Blake: You a Scorpio?
- [May looks at him]
- Agent Blake: I was just wondering why our newest agent paired the two of us together. Must have thought we were compatible in some way.
- Melinda May: It was random, Blake.
- Agent Blake: You seem like a Scorpio.
- Melinda May: You don't believe in the Clairvoyant, but you believe in astrology?
- Jemma Simmons: We'd like to send a blood sample of yours to some colleagues to do a molecular breakdown. Maybe if you spoke to Agent Coulson...
- Skye: Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea. If Coulson thinks it's important that this thing stays between us, then we should trust him, right? He's the boss.
- Jemma Simmons: So you're saying we should *obey* the rules?
- Leo Fitz: Who are you and what have you done with Skye?
- Phil Coulson: [Skye has just been made a full agent] You earned this.
- John Garrett: Hell, you took two in the gut. More than Sitwell here's ever done.
- Antoine Triplett: You really think the Clairvoyant was on the index?
- John Garrett: Rejected off the index. Possibly. Just hope it's not the amazing Kreskin.
- [Chuckles]
- John Garrett: I used to love that guy.
- Victoria Hand: You realize, Agent Coulson, they have these things called teleconferences now.
- Phil Coulson: Nice to see you too, Agent Hand.
- John Garrett: Damn, I must be getting old. Either that or I drank a lot more in my 30s than I remember.
- Agent Blake: Mr. Peterson... stop. You have a son - Ace. He needs you. We can still help you, Mike.
- Deathlok: Mike Peterson's dead.
- Victoria Hand: In your hunt for Santa Claus? No. I'm taking a transport jet back to the Hub where I can coordinate with the field teams via satellite. Someone's going to have to pull your asses out of the fire when things go south.
- Victoria Hand: The plan was flawed from the start.
- John Garrett: Come on, Vic. The plan was solid.
- Victoria Hand: We have an agent down because we weren't prepared.
- John Garrett: Blake knew the risks.
- Victoria Hand: And don't call me "Vic"; it's condescending.
