Grant Ward quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson

Let's think this through. Skye could be anywhere. Running blind puts our people at risk.

Ward

She is at risk. Hydra is hunting her, full force.

Coulson

Call me crazy, but I think she can take care of herself. The smart move is to wait for her to reach out.

Ward

Look, this isn't your wheelhouse. I'm sure you're a good schoolteacher, but you're a schoolteacher.

Coulson

Maybe, but someone once thought I could be more than that. I had a chance to join S.H.I.E.L.D. A man showed up, when I was fresh out of school–

Ward

I don't have time for a history lesson. [turns to leave]

Coulson

[blocks Ward] I said no, because I was afraid. The way you're afraid right now. Don't let emotion cloud your judgement.

Ward

That's not what's going on here.

Coulson

I could've changed my life that day. But it seemed like too much responsibility. I didn't want to shoulder it. Now I think maybe I should have.

Ward

Well, when I got that offer I took it. I was serving time, arson first-degree, pretty sure my life was over. That's when someone came to me.

Coulson

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent? What was his name?

Ward

She'd laugh that you assumed it was a guy. Her name was Victoria Hand. She was the first person to tell me I could be a good man. Skye was the one who made me believe it. Now she's in danger. I can't just sit around and do nothing.

Coulson

Try not to get killed, okay?

May

Getting this footage out isn't enough to make up for what I did in Hydra, but it's a start.

Daisy

Changing people's hearts and minds is great, but I know a way to destroy Hydra for good. Remember the place Simmons and I were trying to find? Radcliffe told me where to go, how to find it.

Coulson

The way out of this?

Daisy

Yes, yes. If we can get there, all of our problems go away. We just need all the help we can get.

May

I don't know what you mean. There's no magic bullet against Hydra.

Ward

Yeah, and this footage is as close as it comes. I mean people will finally wake up!

Daisy

No, you don't understand! None of this will matter in the long run. It's... [cuts off] Coulson? This is the only chance to actually wake people up.

Coulson

Maybe the only way to solve our problem is to solve their problem.

Daisy

What does that mean?

Coulson

Getting to Radcliffe's coordinates right now is next to impossible. We need a way to divide Hydra's forces. To save ourselves we need to save the world.
