Fitz quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Ward

Skye looks young enough to blend in.

Skye

You’re not exactly Old Man River, and Fitz looks younger than us.

Fitz

Time will come when you won’t make fun of me for that. You’ll be jealous. You’ll be jealous, wrinkly old hags.

Fitz

How's your Scottish accent?

Skye

[in a poor Scottish accent] I don't know. You tell me how great it is, laddie.

Fitz

[in a perfect American accent] American, then.

Skye

Fitz, have you ever heard of an 0-8-4 being a person?

Fitz

No, but I suppose it's possible. I'd hate to meet the guy.

Fitz

Comms are down. There's too much mountain on top of us.

Trust me – it's better. You don't want them hearing the horrible death we're walking into.

Humor, son. You Brits are too serious. Besides, if the job was easy...

Ward

It wouldn't be fun.

Fitz

I'm not afraid - not yet.

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.

Simmons

So you're saying we should obey the rules?

Fitz

Who are you and what have you done with Skye?

Impressive toy.

Fitz

I prefer the term "hard-tech hardware."

As for you, Agent Fitz, you'll hold a very high rank, run our tech division if you volunteer. If not, you'll have no rank and a lot of pain. Of course, either way, your services will be required.

Fitz

You're gonna suffer for what you've done. And I I plan on being a very big part of that.

[chuckles] I like you, kid.

Eric Koenig

What's the difference between an egg and a rock?

May

Edible. Not.

Fitz

Well, that's absurd. The differences are-

Simmons

-innumerable. If you want, I can start listing them but then-

Fitz

-we'll be here all day.

Eric Koenig

You wash up on a deserted island alone. Sitting on the sand is a box. What is in that box?

May

Machete.

Trip

A sat phone so I can call someone to get me off that island.

Fitz

How big is the box?

Eric Koenig

Just say the first answer that comes into your mind. What's in that box?

Fitz

Simmons.

Simmons

That's a hard one. Let me think. The TARDIS.

Skye

I want to say my laptop, fully charged. But I don't want to seem subversive - with the Rising Tide and all...

Eric Koenig

You're over-thinking it.

Skye

The laptop would be stupid, anyway. There's no wi-fi.

Coulson

We have no authority to do this. We're no longer S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. We're...

Fitz

We're vigilantes.

Coulson

I was gonna say, "doing this because it's the right thing to do," but... yeah.

Fitz

He'll recover, he did before. Besides, brains never delete files, they just lose connections, but there's always a back up. It's just a matter of digging and finding them.

Mack

So you've got back up files too?

Skye

There's something very wrong with me.

Fitz

No, you're just different now. You're just different now, and there's nothing wrong with that.

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.
