- Daniel Sousa: And nobody seems to look you in the eye right now.
- Melinda May: Hmm, Wait until they all get cellphones.
- Phil Coulson: Now, *this* is the New York City I remember. The honking, the smell of hot dog water. And these are the clothes the grown-ups wore when we were kids, am I right? Still not gonna give me anything, huh? Even copping attitude would be a warm relief.
- Melinda May: Hard to care about where we stand when I the only emotions I have are the ones other people pass to me.
- [bumps into a man]
- Melinda May: Like this guy here, who's feeling ticked off and impatient!
- Phil Coulson: Wow, that's good that you're learning to label and communicate them. That's good. Very healthy.
- Melinda May: Now that feeling's extended to you.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: All of this looks different. These guys have been busy. It looks like they're rerouting power to something big.
- Elena 'Yo-Yo' Rodriguez: Probably nothing good. Let's take the Quinjet and get back.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: What, are you worried? It's still S.H.I.E.L.D., just an active base.
- Elena 'Yo-Yo' Rodriguez: You saw the man in blue.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: The Agent in the throwback uni? Well, hell, I thought he looked pretty tight.
- Elena 'Yo-Yo' Rodriguez: You ever see a James Bond movie, Mack? An underground base full of men in jumpsuits - always a bad deal.
- Deke Shaw: Did you hear anything from Bobo? Bobo... or grandpappy, whatever you want to call him.
- Jemma Simmons: Oh, Fitz. No, I haven't heard. But, um, even if I had I couldn't disclose...
- Deke Shaw: Right, because the Chronicoms would probe our brains and blah, blah, blah, and it's very dangerous, no one can know - I get it.
- Jemma Simmons: We'll be reunited soon.
- Deke Shaw: Well, I hope so. Because if you and Fitz and don't... bump lemons... so to speak... You know, my mom is never going to exist, and then I won't be born... again. I think.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: What happened to blending in?
- Daniel Sousa: I just don't understand the functional appealing of those... elephant pants.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: You mean the bell bottoms?
- Elena 'Yo-Yo' Rodriguez: Then why do you call me "Yo-Yo"?
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Because you always bounce back.
- Daniel Sousa: So these folks are secretly squids.
- Phil Coulson: No, just a few at the top are Hydra. Most are loyal S.H.I.E.L.D., like Stoner.
- Daniel Sousa: Seems to me the joint is pretty jazzed about Insight.
- Phil Coulson: They think it'll keep the world safe. Nobody figures its a Hydra plot. The same happened in my time.
- Daniel Sousa: So the past is doomed to repeat the present. Any idea how Hydra got Insight so early?
- Phil Coulson: I got a feeling it's the Chronicoms.
- Daniel Sousa: You sure, or is that the trout in the milk? Trout in the milk. Is that -
- [grumbles]
- Daniel Sousa: Must be old-timey speak.
- Phil Coulson: We call it circumstantial evidence, so yes, but I like it.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: Enoch, you're here.
- Enoch: Yes. As I have been for the last 40 years. Now buckle up.
- Phil Coulson: Sorry we left you behind, thanks for the lift, and sweet ride.
- Enoch: Thank you. Consumer Reports gave this vehicle a five-star safety rating, and its fuel economy is best in class.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: Wait. Bruce Banner?
- Daniel Sousa: Never heard of him.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: That's 'cause he's just a kid now, but in a few decades, he becomes an Avenger.
- Daniel Sousa: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: It's a good thing.
- Daniel Sousa: S-So they'll do a bad thing - pick him while he's still young.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: Exactly.
- Daniel Sousa: I'm starting to think you guys made the timeline worse than it was before.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: We don't have time to speculate.
- Daniel Sousa: Speculate? This is more than just a trout in the milk. There's only one way Hydra could have gotten names from the future.
