Jemma Simmons quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson

Did you think I wouldn't find out?

Coulson

Sriracha? Beer? That's all? What kind of diet is that?

Simmons

Well, I also have tea. And if my diet is such a concern, then perhaps dead-drops shouldn't involve fast food.

Coulson

We'll revisit that protocol.

Simmons

Do you have any idea what this means? We could kill millions of people, perhaps even billions.

Pretty awesome, huh?

Simmons

If it hadn't have been for Agent Morse, I -

Bobbi Morse

Bobbi.

Simmons

- Bobbi, right. If it hadn't have been for Bobbi, I would never have made it out. Probably be brainwashed, happy to comply to who knows what. [whispers] She's amazing.

Ward

Skye...

Simmons

If I ever see you again, I'll kill you.

Bobbi

I wish I could give you some advice, but I've never been friends with a guy first. It's always been a roller coaster. Fast out of the gate, hit the drop, the turn, the loop, the screeching halt, then back in line to do it all over again.

Simmons

But is the ride worth it?

Bobbi

I'll let you know when it's over.

Simmons

Skye is my friend. She's different.

Fitz

Oh, yeah. Like I was your friend, and then I changed. How did you handle that?

Mack

Uh, t-the point is, secrets don't help any of us. Skye should have just come clean.

Fitz

What, and risked being locked up, studied, or who know what else? No, I wouldn't let her.

Simmons

Oh, you wouldn't let her.

Mack

We could have handled her in a way that could have kept everybody safe.

Morse

It wasn't fair to us, Fitz. We had a right to know.

Fitz

A right to know. What - is that the same way that Sif and the Kree had the right to know?

Hunter

I think the situation is a bit different, mate.

Fitz

No, you would have done to her exactly what they wanted to.

Simmons

You don't know that!

Fitz

Yes, I do know that! They would - you would - you'd "handle her"! Mack just said! Like, uh... like Skye's something to be locked up in a cage somewhere. We should be protecting her.

Mack

No, Fitz. We're the ones that need the protection from her.

Fitz

[to Skye] Things change. That's what I'm saying. So maybe if you can learn how to control this, then... you could have Avenger-level powers, something like Captain America, even.

Simmons

I think it best we keep in mind the unstable natures of Skye's power. If there is an Avenger equivalent, right now I'm afraid it's The Hulk.

Fitz

Well, Hulk, saved the world, last I checked.

Ward

Can we just address the elephant on the plane? I know. This is weird. Mistakes were made.

Fitz

By you.

Ward

And people got hurt.

Fitz

By you.

Ward

And I could stand here and explain again how my parents - and brother left me vulnerable...

May

[scoffs] We all had our traumas, Ward. Didn't turn any of us into psychopaths.

Ward

Well, we all have our own ways of coping, don't we? For example, I was yours.

Coulson

Watch it, Ward!

Ward

Look, I'm just saying we all made mistakes. Coulson handed me over to my abuser, thank you. Skye shot me-

Simmons

After you killed how many people?

Fitz

Yeah, and we were a team and a family, and you betrayed us!

Ward

I know. It's what I regret the most. Not the lying, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents I had to put down, and I'm sorry not even dropping you two in the ocean. It's this. My actions destroyed this. I'll regret that forever. 'Cause there were good times. Right? Before? I mean, for a while there, we were a good team. Weren't we?

Skye

[dramatic pause] I'm still happy I shot you.

Fitz

Yeah, me too.

Simmons

Should've aimed for the face.

Simmons

I know you're looking for signs of PTSD, but I assure you I'm fine.

You've been through something pretty extreme. There will be after-effects, and that's okay. It's okay to struggle.

Simmons

Next time you have doubts about whether someone is real, ask them to hit you.

I'll keep that in mind.

Simmons

Perhaps it's best if we start over since we're going to be working together.

Will

Working together? On what?

Simmons

On getting home.

Will

There's no getting home. Sooner you accept that the better. Survival's all that matters.

Simmons

I will not accept that. There's always hope.

Simmons

Eat, shower, or sleep? What are you gonna do first when we get back?

Will

Eat. Please. Who you talking to? What're you gonna do?

Simmons

Ummm, I'm going to eat in the shower and fall asleep while doing it.

Will

That's very efficient. I expect nothing less.

Will

If you're not with NASA, how did you get into the monolith?

Simmons

It's not with NASA anymore. It's with S.H.I.E.L.D. They've had it for quite some time. I'm not sure how or why.

Will

That's real, S.H.I.E.L.D?

Simmons

It was, I was recruited right out of the academy.

Will

I was a test pilot for the Air Force, recruited by NASA. Now here I am.

Simmons

Here we are. At least you volunteered.

Will

Yeah.

Simmons

[having lost the opportunity to return to Earth] You were right. There's no hope on this planet.

Will

That's what I used to think. Then you showed up.

Fitz

Do you love him?

Simmons

I don't know. I think... yes.

Fitz

Yeah, of course you do. He's strong and smart. And you gave each other hope on the edge of nowhere.

Simmons

Don't do this Fitz.

Fitz

You think I didn't look for dirt on him? I did, and there's nothing. I can't hate him, he's great. Why else would you fall for him? He did everything right.

Simmons

And you dove through a hole in the universe for me.
