Quotes 

• Phil Coulson : What's all this?

  Aida : Components from the transdimensional Arch and the neodymium core from an EMP generator.

  Holden Radcliffe : Aida thought they could be quite useful.

  Melinda May : Aida thinks?

  Phil Coulson : Maybe about electric sheep.

  Aida : I take it that was a joke and does not require a response.

• Jeffrey Mace : How many people do we think Morrow has in there?

  Melinda May : A small army. Leftovers from a Chinatown gang and some ex-cons he recruited while he was in prison.

  Phil Coulson : We need to move in.

  Jeffrey Mace : Press is everywhere on this. We can't afford to be seen working with Daisy or Reyes. He's a vigilante killer.

  Phil Coulson : It's a little more complicated than that, but yes. He's also nearly unstoppable, and he's on our side.

  Jeffrey Mace : And what happens when he's not?

  Phil Coulson : Then we deal with him. But right now the reality is this: Eli Morrow just wiped out an entire S.H.I.E.L.D. tac team with a few shards of carbon that he created out of thin air.

  Melinda May : And that's just what we've seen. What else is he capable of?

  Phil Coulson : We need the big guns on this one, and Yo-Yo, Daisy, and Reyes are the biggest guns we have.

• Phil Coulson : [about Aida]  She's an android.

  Melinda May : Had me fooled, too.

  Jeffrey Mace : But that's... Okay. I mean, forget about the fact that I was mildly attracted to her. That totally goes against the Sokovia Accords. Doesn't anyone remember Ultron?

• Melinda May : [leaving a meeting with Mace]  Bold move, telling him about Aida.

  Phil Coulson : It was a strategic play.

  Melinda May : Felt like poking the bear?

  Phil Coulson : More like feeding the bear. I'm hoping if I give him something, maybe he'll give me something.

  Melinda May : Like Senator Nadeer.

  Phil Coulson : I want to know what his deal is with her. She hates Inhumans, hates S.H.I.E.L.D., yet he sends Simmons off to examine a new Inhuman for her. I don't like it.

  Melinda May : Tough, isn't it? Not to be the keeper of all the secrets?

  Phil Coulson : It's not about that. I just want to know whose side he's on.

• Phil Coulson : When this is over; it's time. We are cracking that bottle.

  Melinda May : You don't have to twist my arm.

  Phil Coulson : I wouldn't dare. You might whip my ass.
