Dialogue
"Is that what we're celebrating today, the inclusion of your new colleague Fitz on this project?" "No, Aida. Today... Today's your birthday."

- Aida and Holden Radcliffe

Spoken by Aida
"Hello. I'm glad to finally shake your hand, Leopold."

- Aida to Leo Fitz

Spoken About Aida
"No, no. That's not what I meant. I meant: what the hell?" "You've already met Aida. Digital personal assistant, as a voice on the computer. So, uh... I built her a body." "Yeah, a naked body."

- Leo Fitz and Holden Radcliffe

Dialogue
"The hope is that I will be able to prevent future tragedies... save the lives of agents by putting myself in harm's way in their place." "To kill?" "No. I am incapable of that. I will protect. I will serve as a decoy target, a safeguard... a shield."

- Aida and Leo Fitz

Spoken about Aida
"Hey, now I see why you've been spending so much time here." "What?" "Aida. She's beautiful." "Is she? Ah, yeah, she is all right, I guess. I prefer a classical beauty myself." "She's so real. Her— Her conversational responses, her range of motion." "Those are weird things to say about a person." "Fitz, she's an android. You do know she's an android, right?" "Yeah, of course I know that she's an android, 'cause I helped out. Why do you think her dynamic reaction force is so low?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "I wanted to. Obviously, you can't tell the new Director, and what with your Lie Detector tests becoming more frequent, who knows the next time they're gonna call you in and--" "Tomorrow. It's tomorrow." "Well, that's not good. This is one lie you're gonna have to tell." "Actually, I'll have a few."

- Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz

Dialogue
"I don't think we've met. Phil Coulson." "Agent Coulson. I'm Aida." "My assistant." "How long have you been lending a hand to Doctor Radcliffe?" "Since he gave me hands." "Oh, wow, impeccable work. I'm a fellow amputee. What happened, if you don't mind me asking?" "Not at all. I've actually been this way since birth. Thank god for Doctor Radcliffe and Doctor Fitz' work." "Couldn't agree more."

- Phil Coulson, Aida and Holden Radcliffe

Spoken by Aida
"Perhaps I could read the book."

- Aida

Spoken about Aida
"She's an android. So she is my assistant, but she plugs into the wall. So it's like you say, she's a tool."

- Holden Radcliffe

"Fitz, Radcliffe just said it himself The human brain can't handle that book." "Yeah, well, she's not human."

- Phil Coulson and Leo Fitz

"I'm sorry. What did you mean 'not human'?" "Because Radcliffe and I built her, okay? Her mind can't be corrupted because it's just programming. She's a perfect fit." "She's a robot?" "An android. She can handle a quadrillion functions per second, and she can get us home."

- Phil Coulson and Leo Fitz

Spoken about Aida
"Aida's an android." "She's— What did you just say?" "An android." "Had me fooled too." "Well, 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?"

- Phil Coulson, Jeffrey Mace and Melinda May

Dialogue
"Hello, Agent Nathanson." "What? Aida, what are you doing?" "I'm sorry. I know how this feels."

- Aida and Nathanson

Spoken about Aida
"While we're handling the book, your mission is to accompany Dr. Radcliffe and erase Aida's hard drive." "What?" "Aida read the Darkhold." "We can't risk having any of its contents in her memory. It's too dangerous." "Makes sense, although does seem a little bit unfair to Aida, considering how many lives she just saved." "Okay. First of all, that thing is not a "she" it's a damn robot. And second of all, what's the matter with you two chuckleheads? Have either one of you seen a movie in the last 30 years? The robots always attack." "Well, technically speaking, Aida's not a robot she's an android." "That's true." "Android, robot it doesn't matter what you call 'em. The end result's always the same they rise up against their human overlords and go kill crazy."

- Phil Coulson, Holden Radcliffe, Jeffrey Mace, Leo Fitz and Alphonso Mackenzie

"She did not just go all on us."

- Alphonso Mackenzie

Dialogue
"I wasn't expecting you." "Uh, change of plan, my dear Aida. Change of plan." "Is everything okay, Leopold? You look sad." "Yeah. Yeah, no. Everything's fine. Just, um, bit overwhelmed with work, that's all." "I'm sorry to hear that."

- Aida, Holden Radcliffe and Leo Fitz

"I know what you're doing, Doctor. You came here to end my life." "Well, that's not... true, Aida. We simply wanted to make a few upgrades, that's all." "I made a few upgrades of my own."

- Aida and Holden Radcliffe

"It's over, Aida." "I did not kill anyone here. That was intentional." "You murdered Nathanson." "Nathanson insisted he reboot me before repairing my wounds. I regret what happened." "Regret's not part of your programming." "The Darkhold fixed that. It showed me regret and desire - so many astonishing things." "It made you dangerous." "I only wanted to help you."

- Holden Radcliffe, Aida, Phil Coulson and Melinda May (Life-Model Decoy)

"To Aida." "To Aida. Is everything okay, Doctor?" "It will be. It's just... We were so close. She had it in her hand, Aida in her hand! She just couldn't get out with it." "Your previous model had the Darkhold book in her hand." "And all the answers it holds. I've only glimpsed it, but it opened my eyes to possibilities beyond my wildest imaginings. It can show us how-" "How to live forever." "Well, it's a bit more complicated, but yes. Man could, once and for all, break the bonds of his mortal restraints." "Is it still possible to make such a leap without the Darkhold?" "I'm afraid not which is why I took a chance and had Aida make a play for it. It was a risk we had to take." "But she failed." "Ah, through no fault of her own. She played her part to perfection, right down to my little speech about how the Darkhold was making her a real girl. Oscar-worthy stuff."

- Holden Radcliffe and Aida

Dialogue
"Agent May is resilient. She never stops fighting, yet she showed more distress before she woke than during the fight." "That's odd." "No. It makes perfect sense. The flaw isn't in the hardware. It was in May herself. The simulation was rejected because Agent May thrives in conflict and chaos, not tranquility. She's a warrior." "You're saying fighting against me stabilized her?" "Precisely. If we want her to accept the simulation, we need to give her an opponent to fight, an enemy to vanquish, a dragon to slay." "Shall I design a dragon?" "No. I have something else in mind."

- Holden Radcliffe and Aida

"Don't worry. I'm gonna figure out what broke you." "Thank you, Fitz. Thank you."

- Leo Fitz to Aida's first model

Spoken by Aida
"Perhaps you are going to be a problem after all."

- Aida to Melinda May

Dialogue
"Our May Life-Model Decoy should get us the Darkhold, eventually. And if something goes wrong, then we have our safety net." "You're referring to the other android, now in operation." "Yes, our second LMD."

- Holden Radcliffe and Aida

"I like you, Agent May. I don't wish for you to suffer. I promise to make this quick and painless." "Thanks. I'm not worried."

- Aida and Melinda May

Dialogue
"I've observed much human behavior. And the more I see, the harder it gets to find a logic to it." "Oh, you sweet girl, there is no logic to love, anger, wonder, joy—" "I understand the concepts, but I don't feel them myself. And unfortunately they've created a paradox in my programming." "What do you mean? Explain." "My two main parameters are in opposition due to human emotions. I was programmed to protect the Framework but also to preserve your life above all others." "Well, how is that a contradiction?" "Because the greatest threat to the Framework, Doctor, is you."

- Aida and Holden Radcliffe

Spoken by Aida
"To be human is to suffer."

- Aida

Spoken by Aida
"Hello, Daisy. I had a lot of time after you shattered my spine to think about what I'd do when I saw you again. I decided it might be fun to watch you kill yourself."

- Ophelia to Quake

"There are too many feelings, which is why I've decided to only feel one of them: vengeance. It's hot and clean and sharp like a knife. And my vengeance is going to make you suffer the way that I have suffered."

- Ophelia to Leo Fitz

"I am going to kill everyone you love, right in front of you. And there's nothing you can do."

- Ophelia to Leo Fitz

Dialogue
"My arm still hurts. Why won't it heal?" "Let me see." "Don't touch me! If you want to make me feel better, then explain why my arm hasn't healed." "That flame-headed demon was born in the same darkness that created you. You will need to be careful."

- Aida and Anton Ivanov

"Okay, remember what we talked about before?" "How there isn't room in your heart for me?" "No, that being human sometimes means—" "That there's pain and tears and suffering? Yeah, I'm catching on to that pretty quickly. Now I understand why humans have written so many sad songs." "Yeah! Hey, that's a great example. There are lots of ways to express sadness and pain. There's music and art—" "And smashing heads on the floor. That's the one I like the best so far."

- Leo Fitz and Ophelia "Don't you get it? You can't kill me!" "Maybe not. But I'm pretty sure he can."

- Aida's last words with Phil Coulson

Spoken about Aida
"That's the strangest thing I've ever heard... except for the sexy robot that you made that became human and wanted you to stick the old floppy in her love drive."

- Lance Hunter to Leo Fitz
