• Phil Coulson : We need a reset here Fitz. Fitz?

  Jemma Simmons : Saying his name repeatedly, does not increase productivity!

  Leo Fitz : Okay, done!

  Jemma Simmons : ...Or maybe it does.

• Skye : [Doing a fitness workout]  Why do I even have to do this? I'm sure Fitz-Simmons' supervising officer didn't make them do this muscle stuff.

  Grant Ward : You said you wanted to be a field Agent, like Coulson. Well, if you'd like to switch disciplines...

  [shouts to Jemma] 

  Grant Ward : Hey, Simmons. What did your S.O. give you guys for morning drills?

  Jemma Simmons : [excited]  Oh, atomistic attribute drills. Yeah, we'd name the mechanical, chemical, thermal...

  Leo Fitz : ...Electrical properties of materials.

  Skye : [to Ward]  Okay, okay. They made your point.

• Jemma Simmons : I thought she was done for, but she has just sweeped up into Quinn's office.

  Melinda May : How did she manage that.

  Leo Fitz : Pfft, she probably just used her

  [realizes Simmons and May are glaring at him] 

  Leo Fitz : Um, uh, uh, how, um... Boobs.

  Jemma Simmons : Oh, that's the ONLY explanation!

• Leo Fitz : Gravitonium. It's an extremely rare high-atomic numbered element.

  Jemma Simmons : That powers the device. It's so extremely rare that most people didn't believe it existed, much less the theory that an isolated positive charge...

  Leo Fitz : ...Would turn the flow from isotropic...

  Skye : [Interrupts]  Guys, high-school dropout here. How does the device work again?

  Jemma Simmons : Well, Gravitonium distorts gravity fields within itself, causing an undulating, amorphous shape.

  Leo Fitz : Which causes these

  [Points to the screen] 

  Leo Fitz : Um, wiggly bits here, but when an electric current is applied, the Gravitonium solidifies. And those gravity fields erupt, randomly changing the rules of gravity around it. Well, so, now you can imagine what would happen to a big rig at 100 kilometers per hour.

  [Slight pause] 

  Leo Fitz : Or, uh, well, you could just remember, 'cause we saw it already, didn't we?
