- Melinda May: Today wasn't great.
- Phil Coulson: Cauliflower isn't great. Today was a kick in the balls.
- Glenn Talbot: Keep calling me reactive, Phil. Half the time, I'm reacting to the steaming pile of fart-pebbles you hand me.
- Glenn Talbot: This is politics, Phil. Which means politicians. They are a festering cesspool of toxic waste fires. You swim in those waters, you could get pulled under.
- Phil Coulson: You know, no one likes a smart ass.
- Elena 'Yo-Yo' Rodriguez: That hasn't been my experience.
- Phil Coulson: With Nadeer and her staff in the meeting we have an opportunity.
- Glenn Talbot: What opportunity? I wasn't briefed on any opportunity.
- Phil Coulson: While Nadeer's in with Daisy, Yo-Yo and I will get into her office and plant surveillance.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: We can finally keep an eye on her, figure out her next move.
- Glenn Talbot: What? No! No! No, there'll be no planting, no eyeing, no Yo-Yo-ing!
