Quotes 

• Dr. Franklin Hall : [about Quinn]  He's addicted to exploiting opportunities. He never gives a thought to the friends, ecosystems, future generations left ruined in his wake.

  Phil Coulson : Like Agents Fitz and Simmons, your former students? I've got them in my ear right now, telling me you're not a bad guy. We could've worked with you on this.

  Dr. Franklin Hall : SHIELD? SHIELD is just as guilty of the same thing! Experimentation without thought of consequence! Your search for an unlimited power source brought an alien invasion.

  Phil Coulson : Fair point.

• Phil Coulson : Dr. Hall, Agent Coulson, we have an exit strategy.

  Dr. Franklin Hall : SHIELD?

  Phil Coulson : Yes sir. We let's get you out of here.

  Dr. Franklin Hall : Well, I'm sorry Mr. Coulson; I'm right where I'm supposed to be.

  Phil Coulson : [pauses for a moment, stunned]  I'll be honest. Our strategy did not take into consideration you saying that.

• Ian Quinn : I'm now a naturalized citizen of this fair country. Stunning beaches, beautiful tax laws, and a deep-seated hatred of outside forces telling them what to do.

  Dr. Franklin Hall : Sounds like your dating profile.

• Dr. Franklin Hall : You know, it's one thing to steal my ideas, Ian, but stealing me?

  Ian Quinn : First of all, I never stole your ideas. We've always agreed information should be free.

  Dr. Franklin Hall : It's amazing how much money you made off "free" information.

• Ian Quinn : [about Gravitonium]  I finally found it. And now we get to play with it.

  Dr. Franklin Hall : Do you remember in all our talks on Orchard Street the part where it's very, very dangerous?

• Dr. Franklin Hall : They won't understand the good I did here.

  Phil Coulson : Killing innocent people?

  Dr. Franklin Hall : Saving millions. We have to live with the choices we make, but sometimes we have to die with them too.
