- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: '55? As in our giant spaceship just appeared in the sky in 1955?
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Let's hope we didn't attract too much attention.
- Phil Coulson: Well, about that... I may actually have some good news. We're just north of Groom Lake, Nevada. Home of Area 51. Probably happens all the time.
- Phil Coulson: We know Area is a S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: We do?
- Phil Coulson: [Matter-of-fact] All the Areas are.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: Wow. Conspiracy Me was so right.
- Jemma Simmons: Daniel, your surname wouldn't happen to be Sousa.
- Daniel Sousa: It would.
- Jemma Simmons: Which would make you the former colleague of Agent Peggy Carter.
- Daniel Sousa: It would.
- Jemma Simmons: I suppose you'll be arresting me now.
- Daniel Sousa: You got it all figured it out, don't you?
- Daniel Sousa: [about the British Jemma] And the lady pretending to be Carter. Worst fake accent you've ever heard.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: You should tell her that.
- Phil Coulson: I'm saying May isn't herself. She was completely emotionless. She went full ninja assassin on Enoch...
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: That sounds like classic May to me. It's the reaction to you that didn't jive.
- Phil Coulson: Yeah, even if she isn't happy to see my face, you'd think she'd be confused or mad or give me something.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: She would be happy. It's odd. But odd is the new normal. I mean, you are a highly sophisticated robot version of yourself, and we're in a diner in the 50s.
- Phil Coulson: See, that part's cool. I mean, look around. We're at the precipice of the space race. It's a golden age of innovation...
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: Is it?
- [glances at a segregation sign]
- Phil Coulson: Well, we still have a ways to go.
- Dr. Pascal Vega: This one's highly experimental - an Electro Magnetic Pulse Discharger. Someday, it might be able to knock out every electronic gadget within 30 feet.
- Jemma Simmons: Give me an hour, I'll save them decades.
- Phil Coulson: John Wayne. A bit overrated, don't you think? I mean you're rugged, you're on a horse. Who cares?
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: I can explain.
- [punches Sharpe unconscious]
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: I'd just rather not.
- Deke Shaw: Look---look, I know I've got a way with words. Some might even call it the gift of gab.
- Melinda May: Nobody ever...
- Elena 'Yo-Yo' Rodriguez: Yeah, no.
- Phil Coulson: Sorry. Really. I'm a fan.
- Jemma Simmons: He really is!
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: We're the good guys, I swear.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: He's like-he's like the grand wizard of Hydra.
- Deke Shaw: "Grand wizard" sounds cool.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: It's not. It's bad. Hydra is very bad.
- Jemma Simmons: [Assessing the Area 61 scientists] Getting to the bottom of this may be difficult. If the Chronicoms have infiltrated, they would all look and act exactly like this.
- Phil Coulson: Okay, now you're just trafficking in stereotypes.
- Gerald Sharpe: [Last lines] I was just abducted by aliens!
- Salty Waitress: Looks like we got a live one.
- Gerald Sharpe: You have to believe me! I saw their spaceship! And... And I'm pretty sure they were Communists... from the future!
