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

Coulson

Right now we have more important problems. A five-alarm fire otherwise known as Lance Hunter.

Skye

Is he...?

Coulson

Captured. But if he talks, our entire operation's compromised. We'll have to burn the base and evacuate. I know, and we've just retiled the bathrooms.

Skye

I know you're the boss and you have to compartmentalize everything, but it's not healthy. You need to loosen up. Try yoga or something.

Coulson

I tried it, but I'm really not flexible.

Skye

I'm really sorry, tough to lose people you care about.

Lance Hunter

Secret to that - don't get attached.

Skye

Tried that. Didn't work. For you either.

Hunter

You know, you remind me a bit of Izzy. Raw but sharp, you've got skills. Probably could earn you some real money in the private sector.

Skye

As a mercenary? Yeah, I don't think so.

Hunter

We prefer the term private military contractors. Don't knock it, everyone needs an exit strategy eventually.

Skye

Not me. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s my life now.

Hunter

S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't a life, it's just a job, means to an end. Remember that.

May

In the field you need to maintain control, whatever the situation: hostages, bombs about to go off.

Skye

So what you're saying is what I just did was puny and sad?

May

61 beats per minute, consistent the whole time. Not that puny. Speaking of not puny... here, I want you to get used to this, it's a sniper rifle.

Hunter

Pardon me, just one quick question, you went to S.H.I.E.L.D. academy, right?

May

You didn't. If you did, you would've known better than to shoot us.

Hunter

Apology number 470: I am very sorry Agent May...

May

Don't be sorry. Just wait.

Uh, we were just having a little wager, so did you...?

Skye

Go to the academy? Yeah, no.

Mack

Alright, well have fun with the inventory and remember: Koenig likes them neat.

Ward

A gifted that refuses Hydra is a threat. And threats are taken care of quickly.

Skye

[scoffs] That's the difference between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.

Ward

And that's why Hydra will win. Because while a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is considering right and wrong, Hydra's already taken the shot.

Skye

[Hears a noise over the comms] Wait. What was that?

Coulson

Yeah. That's May.

Skye

Is-is she okay? Is everything okay?

Coulson

Yes. She's laughing. I think the worst of it's over now.

May

[Walks up to Coulson] My face hurts.

Skye

Hey, at least you got away from your ex. The guy I had a crush on is now the psycho living in our basement.

Mack

You know, I wish I could relate, but all my exes are awesome [grins].

Hunter

Is that right? I seem to remember an entire year where you had to pretend you liked quinoa.

Mack

Oh, yeah... that was a dark time.

Skye

Hold on, are you saying that I'm an alien?!

Coulson

It's a theory.

Skye

No, a theory is what scientists use to prove things in nature, this is you telling me that I might be an alien! That's not something you just say like it's no big deal!

Coulson

I was trying not to rattle you.

Skye

Guess what? Epic fail!

Skye

Have you been drinking?

Hunter

I was working. Had to maintain my cover.

Skye

Your cover as what? Ron Burgundy?

Skye

In the history of bad ideas, this is light years ahead of everything.

Coulson

No. Trying to bring dead agents back to life using alien blood blows everything else away.

Raina

Be honest, Skye. Haven't you ever felt lost or had that feeling that you were part of something bigger? Like you were special?

Skye

When you say "special," what you really mean is "alien."

Raina

Is that what you believe? We're human, Skye. We just have the potential to be more. But the Diviner? Now that is most definitely alien.

Skye

Where do you get this stuff? My father?

Raina

Partly. But my grandmother came from a long line of special people who believed in a story, about the blue angels that fell from the heavens. The ancients called them the Kree.

Skye

And what do the Kree want?

Raina

Change.

Skye

This is your one chance to walk away, or I will kill you.

Okay. I'll go. But I'll be waiting for you. After you change, no one else will understand. They'll be afraid. Change is terrifying. But I'm your father, and I love you. I will always love you, Daisy.

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.

May

Not bad. But once I'm pinned, you should try for a finishing blow.

Skye

You want full Mortal Kombat?

May

I want you to stop holding back, Skye.

Skye

I didn't want to hurt you. I didn't want to try to hurt you. I feel like I'm constantly on the verge of…I don't know.

May

Look... we lost Trip, and it hurts like hell, but you can't shut those feelings out. Can't sustain that.

Skye

What's my option? l just might lose it right here?

May

We've talked about this. Control. Embrace your emotions, your nerves. Use them... on your terms.

Skye

I don't know. What I'm feeling…is pretty dark. I'm afraid I'm gonna go postal and tear your head off.

May

Go for it. I promise you won't.

Skye

Tell me about the wedding. I'm thinking May could go either way... understated or full bridezilla. She can be a control freak.

I'm not here to discuss my ex.

Skye

Did you guys have actual conversations? You know, like, pillow talk, or was it just pillow stern looks?
