A collection of quotes of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Daisy Johnson, formerly known as Skye.

Spoken by Skye
"You can't walk away from this. With great power comes.... a ton of weird crap you are not prepared to deal with."

- Skye to Michael Peterson

"The secret is out. For decades, your organization stayed in the shadows, hiding the truth, but now we know-they're among us. Heroes... and monsters. The world is full of wonders... We can't explain everything we see. But our eyes are open. So what now? There are no more shadows for you to hide in. Something impossible just happened. What are you going to do about it?"

- Skye

Spoken about Skye
"She's a groupie, all the hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D., tracking powers. She might as well be one of those sweaty Cosplay characters crowding around Stark tower."

- Grant Ward about Skye

Dialogue
"I'm not exactly a team player." "We're not exactly a team."

- Skye and Phil Coulson

"There are two ways we can do this." "Oh, is one of them the easy way?" "No." "Oh."

- Skye and Grant Ward

"You seem nervous Agent Ward." "I'm calling to mind my training. There's no way I'm gonna reveal classified secrets to a girl who's hell-bent on taking us down." "Have you ever killed anyone?" "Yes, a few. High-risk targets. But they were terrible people who were trying to murder nice people. And I didn't feel good afterwards." "And does your grandmother know about these things?" [voice breaking] "Gramzy?"

- Skye and Grant Ward

"[Coming up to Mike in a diner] "Just act natural." "What?" "Just pretend that we're talking." "We are." "Good. 'Cause you never know who's listening." "I don't even know who's talking."

- Skye and Michael Peterson

"[Voice over] "How will you come at us? From the air? From the ground? How will you silence us this time? How can you? The truth is in the wind. It's everywhere. You cannot stop the rising tide. You will not find us. You will never see our faces but rest assured, we will rise against those who shield us from the truth." [See Skye in her van] "And nothing - nothing can stop us in the-" [Coulson and Ward break in] "Hey. What up?" [Ward put a black bag over her head]"

- Skye, Phil Coulson and Grant Ward

"You're in danger." "What do you mean danger?" "S.H.I.E.L.D." [Confused] "Shield what? I should carry a shield?" "S.H.I.E.L.D. Government. Scary men in dark suits who come after guys like you."

- Skye and Michael Peterson

Spoken about Skye
"Skye, the girl is not qualified to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent." "That's why I invited her on as a consultant. S.H.I.E.L.D. does it all the time. Technically Stark is a consultant."

- Grant Ward and Phil Coulson

"And the new girl, she is a risk."

- Nick Fury

Dialogue
"I don't even know where we are going." "Peru. That's where the 0-8-4 was reported." "And an 0-8-4 is?" "Object of unknown origin, kind of like you. Team goes in, determines if it's useful or poses a threat. Last one turned out to be pretty interesting." "What was the last one?" "A hammer."

- Skye and Phil Coulson

Spoken by Skye
"And, oh my God, super spy is ticklish."

- Skye about Grant Ward

Dialogue
"What's up Phil?" "I prefer you not call me Phil." "Ok, you're the boss AC."

- Skye and Phil Coulson

"Maybe, but I called with an equally pressing question for you, my S.O. What are we supposed to do if we have to pee?" "You broke protocol because you need a bathroom break?" "It was a really, really long drive, and everyone's nervous." "There's a container in the bottom of the blue chest." "Bottom of the blue chest. Not the water bottle?" "That's the one." "Did you never learn the thing that boy parts and girl parts are different, and our parts aren't penises?"

- Skye and Grant Ward

Dialogue
"The memory... Was it about your brother?" "Drop it." "Ward, if you ever need me, I am here-" "-To talk. Because that's what you do. You talk, and talk. Don't you ever get tired of hearing your own voice?!"

- Skye and Grant Ward

Dialogue
"The memory... Was it about your brother?" "Drop it." "Ward, if you ever need me, I am here-" "-To talk. Because that's what you do. You talk, and talk. Don't you ever get tired of hearing your own voice?!"

- Skye and Grant Ward

""It's not funny. I was sleeping peacefully. Very clever, Simmons." "I-I didn't do it!" "Oh, well Ward. I don't appreciate-" "Don't look at me!" "Ok, then Skye." "No!" "Well who then? The bunks should be off limits! No, don't laugh! Because I know it was one of you!""

- Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Grant Ward, and Skye

Spoken by Skye
"Funny, Po doesn't look crazy. I'm kidding. He's a walking mug-shot."

- Skye

Dialogue
"Their technology keeps advancing at a disturbingly rapid pace. They must have endless manpower, resources." "And someone with a fat wallet."

- Phil Coulson and Skye speaking about the Centipede Project

Spoken by Skye
"I know I'm not some bad-ass field agent like May or Ward, but this is what I do. You can't kick me off this mission. Listen, I will do whatever you say. All this protocol crap doesn't matter to me. All that matters to me is Coulson."

- Skye to Victoria Hand

"Don't touch Lola."

- Skye

"Coulson, Coulson! Come back, come back, come back, come back."

- Skye

Dialogue
"I heard what you did for me. I think it's time that we remove this. Disengage bracelet." "Are you kidding me?" "Thought you'd like that."

- Phil Coulson and Skye

Spoken by Skye
"Bad seed isn't a S.H.I.E.L.D. term, its just a term."

- Skye

Spoken about Skye
"She wasn't the first one to die. We were headed into the Hunan Province in China. Senior agent had called in an 0-8-4." "An object of unknown origin. We dealt with those before." "He said the entire village had died trying to protect this one. Avery and I were fresh out of the Academy. There were five of us running the back end until we lost communication with the first team. We had been searching. Found the senior agent up under a bridge. He managed to escape with a gunshot wound to the neck, but he bled out. He was still holding on to the 0-8-4. Poor thing was covered in blood. We thought she was dead too, but she was just asleep in a dead agents arms." "Wait, the baby? The girl was the 0-8-4?" "If she had powers or something, we never witnessed it. The five of us helicoptered the kid off. Headed home. After we landed, we started getting crossed off." "Executed." "Tortured. Heads bashed in. Then when it came down to Avery and I, we realized that the only way to keep our people and the kid from being hunted-" "Was to erase her from existence." "Avery was smart. She used to lead agents credentials to fake a level 8 clearance. She'd set up a nearly invisible protocol. The foster system was ordered to move the kid around every few months." "But they still got to Avery." "She died protecting that secret." "And you left town." "I left everything. I mean whoever killed that kid's family and all those agents was a force to be recon with."

- Richard Lumley and Phil Coulson discussing Skye's past

"That's the thing about Skye. What I told her shattered her world. Her lifelong search lead to stories of murder and now it's too difficult to continue. Her search is over. Her story ends here. But you know what she said?" "Tell me." "She said no. Her story started here. Her whole life, she thought she wasn't wanted. That she didn't belong, that every family that took her in didn't want her to stay. Didn't care. But all that time, it was S.H.I.E.L.D. protecting her. Looking after her. That's what she took away from the story. Not the family she'll never have, but the one she's always had. Here I am telling her something that could destroy her faith in humanity, and somehow she manages to repair a little piece of mind. The world is full of evil and lies and pain and death, and you can't hide from it. You can only face it. The question is, when you do, how do you respond? Who do you become?"

- Phil Coulson telling Melinda May how Skye responded when he told her about her past

Dialogue
"It's strategic." "It's adorable." "The Tin Man has a heart after all."

- Grant Ward, Jemma Simmons, and Skye

"When we started this, I told you that you might not like what you learn." "And I told you... That it can't be worse than what I've imagined." "It is."

- Phil Coulson and Skye

Spoken about Skye
"We're her family."

- Phil Coulson

Dialogue
"What is your first name?" "Skye." "And what is your last name?" "Only name. No family. No family name to inherit." "You gave yourself the name 'Skye'?" "Well, the name they gave me at the orphanage was 'Mary Sue Poots'. So..."

- Eric Koenig and Skye

Spoken about Skye
"Because inside, I believe she and I have something in common."

- Raina

Dialogue
"You know, I never gave you enough credit for this whole zen-warrior thing. But I got to admit, it'd be nice to feel nothing right now." "You think I don't feel anything?" "Look at you. You're a statue. And you and Ward had a thing. So if anyone should be furious..." "I'm furious. But I'm sure as hell not gonna waste it on a tantrum. I'm gonna mine it, save it... and when we find Ward, I'm gonna use every bit of it to take him down." "Wish I knew how to use that hate-fu." "I'm up most mornings at five."

- Skye and Melinda May

Spoken about Skye
"The evolution he speaks of, she will be an important part of that."

- Raina

Spoken by Skye
"The rabbit is in the hutch."

- Skye

"She just said more words than I've heard her say in a year."

- Skye

Dialogue
"Wait, what was that?" "Yeah. That's May." "Well, is she ok? Is everything ok?" "She's fine. She's laughing. I think the worst of it's over now."

- Skye and Phil Coulson

"Ha ha, and no. It didn't work out because interspecies relationships are hard. I was a human, whereas she was a demonic hell-beast." "He doesn't like her. " "You don't say." "She's pure evil." "Hey, at least you got away from your ex, the guy I had a crush on is now the psycho living in our basement." "You know, I wish I could relate, but all my exes are awesome." "Is that right? I seem to remember an entire year when you had to pretend you liked quinoa." "Yeah, that was a dark time."

- Lance Hunter, Alphonso Mackenzie, Antoine Triplett and Skye

Dialogue
"How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough."

- Phil Coulson and Skye

Spoken By Skye
"It's all connected. Everything. Ward has information about my father, who just happens to have the alien buzzkill device, which is somehow connected to the writing, that is related to the GH-serum that is in our blood. Like, we're pieces to a puzzle."

- Skye

Dialogue
"We may actually have a shot at finding the city." "Are you sure it's something you want to dig up?" "If we don't, HYDRA will. We need to get there first."

- Phil Coulson and Skye

"If it starts to leak any fluids, drop it, run." "This doesn't sound like a watch."

- Phil Coulson and Skye

Dialogue
"He did it. You know Ward did it." "No doubt in my mind. " "The senator should have let us help." "We tried. But he wanted nothing to do with us. All we can do now is try and catch Ward." "Or put the son of a bitch down."

- Skye and Melinda May

"Stand down Agent 33, we can help you!" "I don't need you help."

- Skye and Agent 33

Dialogue
"You're welcome. Now let's get out of here." "Yeah, me too! Come on!" "It's safer here. And I'm about to do something to Whitehall. I don't want you to see me like that." "I don't mind... seeing. Hell, I'm happy to help." "No. I get to do this myself."

- Grant Ward, Skye, and Calvin Zabo

"Stop it! Stop it or I'll shoot! Dad!" "He took something from me." "No. He saved you from killing more people. Now, get up and get away from him." "You have to finish what we started." "No, I don't. I'm not going down there. I'm not gonna change or transform or whatever the hell you think is gonna to happen." "Why can't you see it's a good thing?" "Maybe it's all the dead bodies laying around or the fact that HYDRA wants it. I'm gonna make sure the Obelisk never gets down into that city. And you're going to leave. This is your once chance to walk away. Or I will kill you." "Okay. I'll go. But I'll be waiting for you. After you chance, no one else will understand. They'll be afraid. Change is terrifying. But I'm your father, and I love you. I will always love you, Daisy."

- Skye and Calvin Zabo

"Your whole life... our whole lives have been leading up to his moment." "Sorry. I don't buy into the whole "this is your destiny" thing. We're taking the Obelisk, and we're leaving. There's too many lives at stake." "You got it all wrong. Whitehall, everyone has got it all wrong. This doesn't destroy. It gives life - new life. We finally get to find out what we become. (the Obelisk floats onto a pedestal)" "Make it stop." "I can't. Neither of us can now."

- Raina and Skye

Spoken by Skye
"There is something very wrong with me..."

- Skye

Dialogue
"Did you find Raina's body yet?" "There's a lot of rubble to dig through, but not yet. Whatever gas came out of that obelisk hit you, too. That's why we're being extra cautious. It's hard to make sense of all of this." "What? No, it - No, it isn't. We lost. We failed." "Skye, don't say that." "It wasn't because of HYDRA,It was because of me." "Don't blame yourself." "If I didn't go down there, you could have blown the place!" "That was one battle. This is a war." "And Ward and my father, the rotten core, the center of everything!" "We did not fail! Trip prevented a disaster, and Whitehall's dead. We cut off the head. And while HYDRA scrambles for a new one, I will crush them! I'm gonna make someone pay... whoever the hell it is."

- Skye and Phil Coulson

"I've been in quarantine before, and I know it can drive you absolutely nuts." "Thanks. I was beginning to feel like a leper." "Are you kidding? You managed to be taken hostage by three known murderers, you gunned Ward down, then were blasted by an alien chemical weapon and walked out unscathed. Leper? I think you're a rock star."

- Bobbi Morse and Skye

"I shouldn't have to ask any of you to save one of our own." "You never ask! You just give your orders, no matter cracked up they are!" "Mack, you'd do well to remember your rank right now." "Really? Rank at a time like this? Why don't you shove your rank up your..." "Not helping, Hunter." "Guys, stop." "No, it's cathartic. Do you have any thoughts of your own on it, or do you just parrot his?" "Coulson's trying to stop HYDRA." "We didn't stop anything! We unleashed something on the planet!" "Please." "No one knows what happened yet." "It could have been a lot worse." "And Skye barely made it out alive!" "Thanks to Trip. He sacrificed his life, Mack!" "No! He traded his life for hers! And then he was shattered into a thousand pieces!" "That's enough! If Trip was here, he wouldn't be arguing, he wouldn't be bitching. He would be gearing up to do what needs to be done. Yes, we're dealing with forces we don't understand, but HYDRA I do understand. I want everyone ready when the sun comes up. End of discussion."

- Phil Coulson,Alphonso Mackenzie,Melinda May, Lance Hunter, Bobbi Morse, Skye, and Leo Fitz

Spoken about Skye
"Skye is my friend. She's different." "Oh, yeah. Like I was your friend, and then I changed. How did you handle that?" "Uh, t-the point is, secrets don't help any of us. Skye should have just come clean." "What, and risked being locked up, studied, or who know what else? No, I wouldn't let her." "Oh, you wouldn't let her." "We could have handled her in a way that could have kept everybody safe." "It wasn't fair to us, Fitz. We had a right to know." "A right to know. What... is that the same way that Sif and the Kree had the right to know?" "I think the situation is a bit different, mate." "No, you would have done to her exactly what they wanted to." "You don't know that!" "Yes, I do know that! They would--you would--you'd "handle her"! Mack just said! Like, uh... like Skye's something to be locked up in a cage somewhere. We should be protecting her." "No, Fitz. We're the ones that need the protection from her."

- Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, Alphonso Mackenzie, Bobbi Morse, and Lance Hunter

Dialogue
"Not bad. But once I'm pinned, you should try for a finishing blow." "You want full mortal combat?" "I want you to stop holding back, Skye." "I didn't want to hurt you... I didn't want to try to hurt you. I feel like I'm constantly on the verge of... I don't know." "Look... we lost Trip, and it hurts like hell, but you can't shut those feelings out. Can't sustain that." "What's my option? l just might lose it right here?" "We've talked about this. Control. Embrace your emotions, your nerves. Use them... on your terms." "I don't know. What I'm feeling... is pretty dark. I'm afraid I'm gonna go postal and tear your head off." "Go for it. I promise you won't."

- Melinda May and Skye

Spoken by Skye
"My entire life I've been searching for my parents, and my search ended with answers that are so much worse than I could have imagined."

- Skye

Dialogue
"I'm not here to discuss my ex." "Did you guys have actual conversations? You know, like pillow talk? Or was it just pillow stern looks?"

- Andrew Garner and Skye

Spoken about Skye
"What was in the case, Jemma?" "Something to help Skye." "Because you want to change her, is that it?" "Stop it. I don't want to change Skye, the Diviner did that. I'm just trying to fix her."

- Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons

"Things change, that's what I'm saying, so maybe if you can learn to control this then you could have Avengers level powers. Something like Captain America even." "I think it best we keep in mind the unstable nature of Skye's power. If there is an Avenger equivalent right now, I'm afraid it's the Hulk." "Well, Hulk saved the world last I checked."

- Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons

Dialogue
"I'm sorry about everything that's happening Skye." "Not your fault. The blame begins and ends with my dad." "Well, you wouldn't be the first person to have parents with misguided intentions." "Nope, just the first whose crazy dad lured her to an alien city to get earthquake powers." "Yeah."

- Phil Coulson and Skye

Dialogue
"What does it feel like, your gift?" "I don't know. Um... It's intense. Like 1,000 bees trapped inside of me. And I feel it all the time. It's always there. And I can't stop it." "Why would you want to stop it?" "Because I destroy everything around me." "That is simply not true. Every object in this universe gives off a vibration. Did you know that? Nothing rests. Animals, trees, people, even this ratty couch. And you... you have the ability to tap into those vibrations. Don't you see? You can become magnificent. But something's inhibiting you, constraining your energy." "Uh, no. No, no. My, um... my friend's a scientist. She made these to protect me." "Or do they protect people from you?" "No, it's not like that. My powers, I-I can't control them. And when I try to, it hurts me." "Most gifts come with a price, but you could learn to manage it. I apologize. I'm saying too much. This is probably not the best place to continue our conversation. You don't have the tools and the understanding that you need just yet." "To do what?" "To be who you were always meant to be. Without fear, without pain. We can offer that to you." "How?" "I'll take you to a place where you can be with people like us." "Us? How many are there?" "You can learn about yourself, your gift. You can be safe. But only if you want to come. When you're ready, I'll find you."

- Gordon and Skye

Spoken about Skye
"Seven agents down, Calderon barely hanging on, and you want to defend that thing?" "What happened wasn't her fault. I was there. Calderon fired at her." "She was armed and hostile." "She was scared and defending herself." "I don't care if she was chasing butterflies. We can't wear kid gloves around something with powers of that magnitude."

- Robert Gonzales and Bobbi Morse

Dialogue
"Imagine a thousand years of evolution taking place instantaneously. That's what happened to you after the mist. These treatments, we're helping your body adjust properly to the change. Transitioning you quickly and painlessly; I hope. We usually like to start the process right after the mist but..." "How long? How long, when can I go?" "You got places to be, people to see?" "I'm worried about my friends. I think they're in danger." "You're the one that's in danger Skye, remember? You're being hunted."

- Lincoln Campbell and Skye

"Can you warm up food with your powers? Because that would be awesome." "I have never tried; but I did warm up a small pool once." "Any five-year-old can warm up a pool."

- Skye and Lincoln Campbell

Spoken about Skye
"I dream of Skye and her father at dinner. A bouquet of daisies. And she's so happy."

- Raina

Dialogue
"Something bad happens every time I feel settled somewhere. I'm twenty five and I have never spent more than two years anywhere. The second I made friends at the orphanage; gone. And God forbid I called a foster family home; pack your bags. I got the news on my birthday once, which is a complete farce because I don't even know when I was born." "I'm so sorry." "S.H.I.E.L.D. was the closest I ever came to having a family. I belonged there, saw what I could be. Even that ended with agents hunting me through the woods." "We're not going to turn on you, or abandon you. This is a safe place." "See, you say that but I know you're not being straight with me. Why do you care if I stay or go? And why are you..." "July second. You were born on July second."

- Skye and Jiaying

"You know it's really impressive for Jiaying to take anyone under her wing." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "I like her. I just... I can't... What's her role here?" "Her role is, in charge. So really she must like you." "If she's in charge, how often does she train people?" "Since I've been here... let me see... never."

- Lincoln Campbell and Skye

Dialogue
"I won't give up. I can't give up." "None of us want to, Fitz, but..." "Fitz, you tried. Okay? You tried your hardest. Everybody knows that." "No. I missed something."

- Leo Fitz, Daisy Johnson and Bobbi Morse

Spoken by Spoken by Daisy Johnson
"You're my new best friend."

- Daisy Johnson to Elena Rodriguez
