- Phil Coulson: [Coming up to Skye and Trip, who are readying their weapons] What are we gonna do, storm Oahu?
- Skye: We don't know yet.
- Phil Coulson: Ditch the guns. Take this.
- [Hands her what appears to be a watch]
- Skye: What is it?
- Phil Coulson: It's a watch. Deliver it to Cam, the owner of the Kahananui repair shop. Here. It'll need the following inscription... "Dearest Darren, I count the seconds we're apart. Love, your island flower." You got that?
- Skye: "Island flower"... got it. Anything else?
- Phil Coulson: If it starts to leak any fluids, drop it, run.
- Skye: This does not sound like a watch.
- Phil Coulson: [Hands Trip a button] Take this to the Ka Pua dry-cleaner on Makaimoimo street.
- Antoine Triplett: Maka-what, now?
- Phil Coulson: Not the one on Hookelewaa.
- Antoine Triplett: Am I good with this in my pocket?
- Phil Coulson: That depends. You ever want kids?
- Phil Coulson: Fitz, how you coming with the transceiver patch?
- Leo Fitz: I've got it down to 7 minutes, 20 seconds.
- Phil Coulson: That's not good enough.
- Leo Fitz: No, that's with my bad hand. With both, I can do it, definitely.
- Senator Christian Ward: That is not how I think, Grant! That's how *you* think!
- Grant Ward: And now you're taking it back on me. You take after mother.
- Senator Christian Ward: Listen to yourself! Just listen to yourself! You twist every act and blame it on somebody else! Mom and Dad were terrible, but they didn't put the match in your hand when you burnt down that damned house! And I didn't squeeze the trigger when *you* killed all those people!
- Grant Ward: No. It is my fault. I let you all hollow me out, control me.
- Senator Christian Ward: Spare me the non-apology. I'm a senator.
- Grant Ward: I take responsibilities for my actions, Christian. Now it's your turn.
- Senator Christian Ward: What are you...? The well. You're still blaming me for the well. We both know that it was you who nearly killed Thomas down there.
- Grant Ward: Do you sleep better telling yourself that?
- Senator Christian Ward: You know, I don't know what crazy lies that you've built up all these years, but the well doesn't even exist anymore. It's gone. Mom and Dad buried it.
- Grant Ward: Oh, no. They just covered it up.
- Skye: Hey, whatever you're doing, just take a break. What are you doing?
- Leo Fitz: Coulson has me patching a transceiver into a system that's not even meant to handle one.
- Antoine Triplett: You can do that in your sleep.
- Leo Fitz: In my sleep, yes, I'm quite good at it. Problem is, I'm awake.
- Bobbi Morse: I can't argue someone to suicide.
- Lance Hunter: Clearly you've never had an argument with yourself, then.
- Werner Reinhardt: You must be dying to understand all the items you recovered. They're fascinating, no?
- Peggy Carter: I don't suppose you'll tell me where they came from.
- Werner Reinhardt: A myth from the East of a star that fell from the heavens; of blue angels who came bearing a gift for all mankind, meant to save the world.
- Peggy Carter: You don't strike me as a believer.
- Werner Reinhardt: Oh, I've based my whole life on it. History just has the details wrong.
- Peggy Carter: Then set history straight.
- Werner Reinhardt: These visitors... they didn't come to save the world. They came to conquer it.
- Skye: You didn't want to crack him yourself?
- Phil Coulson: Bobbi is as good as they come. My job now is to keep an eye on the big picture.
- Skye: And you found something to chase.
- Phil Coulson: Fury. I've been thinking a lot about what made him such a good director. His communication skills - flawed. But he could see five steps ahead, which, for a one-eyed man, is impressive.
- Skye: He knew his enemies.
- Phil Coulson: And for better or worse, he could think like them. Whitehall has a weapon that's unpredictable, but he's not. I don't want to be in a footrace to stop him. I want to be waiting at the finish line.
- Lance Hunter: Come to join the festivities?
- Jemma Simmons: Mr. Bakshi almost killed me a few times.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Well, pull up a seat.
- Jemma Simmons: I'm surprised she's so... civil.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Want to see his head bashed in?
- Jemma Simmons: That would be wrong, wouldn't it?
- Bobbi Morse: How can you follow Whitehall? He's sort of a milquetoasty middle-management type. Now you, you got that whole classic Bond villain thing going on. Why not lead?
- Sunil Bakshi: My time will come. Like Whitehall, I worry about the long view.
- Bobbi Morse: And I worry that you've been brainwashed. Did Whitehall pull an MK-Ultra on you?
- Sunil Bakshi: I'm not one of those fanatics that Hydra controls. Dr. Whitehall is a disciple of Red Skull, Hydra's founder, shared his vision. I'm part of a grand history. Cut off one head, and two...
- Bobbi Morse: Two grow back. Yes, yes. yes. Hell, I'll hand you the sword if Whitehall's head will get you the gig.
- Calvin Zabo: [Talking about Whitehall] He thinks the Diviner is just a weapon, he has no idea of its true power, of what's inside. Oh, there's something inside.
- Phil Coulson: What are we talking about? Tesseract level power?
- Calvin Zabo: Sure. I don't know what that is.
- Werner Reinhardt: So, curiosity brings her back. Have you come to make a deal?
- Peggy Carter: With the devil? I considered it. As you've said, the skies might open up one day. Your work will be valuable. But if that day comes, I know who I'd want by my side. It isn't you.
- Werner Reinhardt: We could learn so much together.
- Peggy Carter: Instead, we'll forget... forget you, forget your work. When I leave, no one else will come, no one to hear your stories, study your deadly artifacts. You'll be buried.
- Werner Reinhardt: I seriously doubt that. Nothing stays buried forever.
- Calvin Zabo: Conquer? You heard "Conquer"? I think you got a bad translation. The way I understand it, it was "end" - to end mankind. Sparing a chosen few, needless to say.
- Daniel Whitehall: Hmm. And that's why it's called the Diviner.
- Calvin Zabo: Yeah. It decides who lives, who dies... who will inherit the Earth.
- Daniel Whitehall: And only someone who can carry the Diviner, is allowed to enter the city.
- Calvin Zabo: Or more importantly, the temple inside. But *I* can get you in.
- Daniel Whitehall: And if I let you take a team, where will you take them? How do you intend to find this city?
- Calvin Zabo: Well, I'll have to look everywhere really, really hard.
- Daniel Whitehall: I'm not giving you men and money on the off chance that you'll find this place. Or if you do, that you'll not take its true power for yourself.
- Calvin Zabo: Me?
- [scoffs]
- Calvin Zabo: Nah! No, I'm not management material. I'll leave that power part to you.
- Daniel Whitehall: Then why? What do you have to gain?
- Calvin Zabo: I have nothing to lose. I've lost everything important to me. And I want to kill those who took it... and finally be reunited with my family.
- Daniel Whitehall: Reunited?
- Calvin Zabo: In the afterlife.
- The Doctor: [Talking about the obelisk] Tell me what you do know, sir, and I'll fill in the blanks.
- Daniel Whitehall: I know that a special few can touch it without suffering. But I have yet to figure out how this weapon can be...
- The Doctor: [Interrupts] Weapon? That's so small-minded.
- [Retracts slightly]
- The Doctor: Uh, for someone with such a big mind. It's a key. It can kill, sure, but only to protect itself from those it doesn't divine... hence the catchy name... to be worthy.
- Daniel Whitehall: I'm interested in science, doctor, not folklore.
- The Doctor: [Continues] ... Worthy of unlocking its true power.
- [Whitehall perks up]
- The Doctor: Oh, I got your attention. There's a place, and if one of those special people you speak of takes this Diviner to that special place, it won't just kill. It will do something... scientifically speaking... much, much cooler.
- Sunil Bakshi: We grow stronger every day while S.H.I.E.L.D. clings desperately to a world it no longer understands. We will rip it from your hands.
- Bobbi Morse: I've read the HYDRA pamphlet. Didn't your mother ever teach you, if you're gonna talk, say something.
- Sunil Bakshi: I could go back to being silent.
- Bobbi Morse: Well, might as well if you have no thoughts of your own. I don't understand how you can work for someone so...
- Sunil Bakshi: Call him evil all you want.
- Bobbi Morse: Nope. I was gonna say... boring.
- Peggy Carter: [Enters interrogation room] Werner Reinhardt.
- Werner Reinhardt: That was a neat trick.
- Peggy Carter: I'm sorry. I don't follow, doctor.
- Werner Reinhardt: [Gestures to the pen on the desk in front of him] It's a pen. You wanted to see what I would do with it. After all, there are so many uses, no? Escape, confession, homicide... suicide.
- Peggy Carter: It's true. I wanted to find out what kind of man you were. You didn't use the pen, so now I know.
