• Phil Coulson : [Pointing out another warning on the wall]  Here's another one. This is why I got rid of all the S.H.I.E.L.D. logos on our vehicles. It's like... screaming for attention.

  Bobbi Morse : You know... there's a ginormous eagle symbol on top of our jet.

  Phil Coulson : Yeah. Sometimes I can't help myself with the cool.

• Phil Coulson : If we were realistic, we never would have gotten this far.

• Phil Coulson : Skye, hey? Skye are you okay? Skye?

  Skye : It's Daisy.

  Phil Coulson : What?

  Bobbi Morse : It's Daisy now sir. You're really having a hard time with this huh?

  Phil Coulson : Damn it, yeah.

• Bobbi Morse : Who is Professor Randolph?

  Phil Coulson : This monolith has been studied for centuries. Well, Randolph's actually been on the planet for those centuries. And he's traveled through space in a portal. And he's also an alien, So, he's got a lot going for him.

• Skye : So, you think the rock is a portal?

  Leo Fitz : No. No, I'm *proving"* that it's a portal. Okay? To another planet. A, a very old planet. A crack in space/time that carried Simmons away, and carried the sand back. Which means...

  Phil Coulson : She's out there. But, it's been months.

  Leo Fitz : Yeah?

  Phil Coulson : She could be long gone from wherever this thing dropped her.

  Leo Fitz : Yeah.

  Phil Coulson : She could be dead.

  Leo Fitz : Yes.

  Phil Coulson : But, we're gonna find out. Aren't we?

  Bobbi Morse : Yep.

  Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie : Damn right.

  Skye : Yeah.

• Professor Elliot Randolph : To the plane!

  [Excited, he starts walking away until he realizes they are still standing there just staring at him] 

  Professor Elliot Randolph : Am I allowed to say that?

  Phil Coulson : Let's all... go to the plane, I guess.

• Phil Coulson : Okay, Fitz. What do you need?

  Leo Fitz : Uh. Uh, well... More historical data. People have studied this thing for centuries. Um... An expert on quantum mechanics and Einstein-Rosen Bridge Theory. And, uh... a sandwich would be nice.

  Phil Coulson : I might have an idea... about the other things.
