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

Gordon

I wish you wouldn't stare.

Skye

Uh–

Gordon

Th-that was a joke. I'm not very good at them. I don't mind that you're curious, honestly. And, yes, I used to have eyes. They were blue. This? This was the obvious change for me, but what happens inside can be just as profound. You see, the mist changes everyone differently. The real difference between the two of us is what happened after we went through the mist.

Skye

What do you mean?

Gordon

I knew from an early age how special I was. Had a mentor, a guide of sorts. And the first thing she did after I transformed was embrace me. Tell me, Skye, what was the first thing that S.H.I.E.L.D. did to you?

Lincoln Campbell

Gordon's the only one who knows where we are, and he's the only way in or out. It keeps us secret and safe from the outside world.

Skye

Or it keeps us prisoners.

Lincoln

You're not very trusting, are you?

Skye

I woke up naked on a table in a place no one can even point to on a map, so call me crazy.

Skye

What happened to you?

Raina

Destiny, apparently. I wanted to be set free, but now I can't even bear the light of day. I dread being awake, but my sleep is filled with such horrible nightmares. Children are so afraid of monsters. They should know it's worse to be one.

Lincoln

You know it's really impressive for Jiaying to take anyone under her wing.

Skye

Yeah?

Lincoln

Yeah.

Skye

I like her. I just... I can't... What's her role here?

Lincoln

Her role is, in charge. So really she must like you.

Skye

If she's in charge, how often does she train people?

Lincoln

Since I've been here... let me see... never.

Skye

Something bad happens every time I feel settled somewhere. I'm twenty five and I have never spent more than two years anywhere. The second I made friends at the orphanage; gone. And God forbid I called a foster family home; pack your bags. I got the news on my birthday once, which is a complete farce because I don't even know when I was born.

Jiaying

I'm so sorry.

Skye

S.H.I.E.L.D. was the closest I ever came to having a family. I belonged there, saw what I could be. Even that ended with agents hunting me through the woods.

Jiaying

We're not going to turn on you, or abandon you. This is a safe place.

Skye

See, you say that but I know you're not being straight with me? Why do you care if I stay or go and why are you...

Jiaying

July second. You were born on July second.

You know what doesn’t have the smell of buttery goodness wafting out of it on your way to work?

Skye

A currency exchange?

Skye

Johnson - Is that your last name?

Was. Pretty ordinary, huh? I changed it to something more sinister when I went on the run.

Skye

Daisy Johnson. Huh.

Raina

Don't give up hope just yet. Skye can save Lincoln. I saw her do it.

Skye

[confused] Wh - You've seen it?

Gordon

We think Raina's gift may allow her to see things before they happen.

Skye

I thought her gift was spinning really fast to collect gold rings.

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.

Lincoln

You never should have come for me.

Skye

I had to, Jiaying wouldn't allow it if I...

Lincoln

There's a reason for that. The only thing that's kept us safe all these years is that we were a secret. Now S.H.I.E.L.D. knows we exist, and they won't stop until they find Afterlife.

Skye

[after seeing her mother kill S.H.I.E.L.D. agents] She just killed them. All of them. Didn't even think about it.

Mack

Yeah, I thought my mom was bad when she started watching Fox News.

Coulson

How's he doing?

Okay- for now.

Coulson

Third incident already this month, but at least we're able to get our hands on this one.

Daisy

The rate of new cases is increasing.

Coulson

We knew it would, after the initial reports.

Daisy

A new Inhuman could emerge anywhere, without any idea what's happened.

Coulson

Only in the continental U.S. so far. Plus, this new aircraft can stay in the air much longer than the old plane. Days, really, so rapid response anywhere is-

Daisy

[grins] You love your new toy, don't you?

Coulson

[smiles] I very much love my new toy. But, even with the mind-boggling range on this puppy-

Daisy

Inhumans are still disappearing.
