Episode 5.05: Rewind

―R. Hale to Leo Fitz^[src]

Dialogue

"Is that why they left you behind? For you to take the blame?"
"No, they wouldn't leave me. They wouldn't... I'm done."
"You're done when I say you're done. If you don't cooperate, you're gonna be here for a very long time."

―R. Hale and Leo Fitz^[src]

Episode 5.11: All the Comforts of Home

Dialogue

"This is my assignment, okay? And in the adult realm, we all have to answer to someone. Even me. I do what I must–"

"For you, Ruby. I do this for you, okay? So try to remember that."

―R. Hale and Ruby Hale^[src]

"I told you I'd find you once S.H.I.E.L.D. showed up again."

"I'm not interested in a hired gun. I'm putting together a team."

―R. Hale and Carl Creel^[src]

Episode 5.12: The Real Deal

Dialogue

"You got something?"
"I don't know. Thinking Deke Shaw could possibly be an LMD, I ran a genetic profile to see if he was biologically linked to anyone."
"And it came up with a match?"
"No. It came up with two."

―Hale and Candice Lee^[src]

Episode 5.13: Principia

"I told him the truth."

―R. Hale and Ruby Hale^[src]

Episode 5.14: The Devil Complex

Spoken by Hale

"Benevolence is not enough. Your charisma and empathy is only gonna get you so far. I don't lose sleep at night worrying about the difficult calls. I do what's necessary. And, yes, sometimes, people have to die. But I'm willing to pull the trigger."

―R. Hale to Phil Coulson^[src]

Dialogue

"You're the leader of a domestic terrorist organization. I'm just trying to bring you to justice."
"I missed the part where bring to justice and blow up with beacon bombs are analogous."
"I have orders not to let you escape by any means."

―R. Hale and Phil Coulson^[src]

"If you thoughtless of me, I wouldn't be here."
"You're here because the Confederacy allows it. You want a seat at the table, you must prove you are deserving of it."
"I've secured what I believe to be the final piece."

―R. Hale and Qovas^[src]

Episode 5.15: Rise and Shine

Spoken by Hale

"After New York, my predecessors made contact with life beyond the solar system. They gave us this to travel to the stars and meet with them. Face to face. I learned my predecessors hadn't just made contact. They had struck a deal for protection."

―R. Hale to Glenn Talbot^[src]

Dialogue

"You're just jealous."
"Of you being a teacher's pet? They've got you better trained than any of our mutts."
"You're jealous because I am going places."

―R. Hale and Jasper Sitwell^[src]

"We're not gonna find it by digging up our history. Instead, we should look to where the Tesseract came from to find new materials."
"Meaning?"
"Outer space."
"Finally! Some forward thinking."

―R. Hale and Daniel Whitehall^[src]

"You're the only candidate left with the other... necessary qualifications."
"You want me to be..."
"Artificially inseminated. It's quite exciting, yes? You should be honored. You will give birth to our new leader."

―Daniel Whitehall and R. Hale^[src]

"Hold on. I happen to think that Air Force is a very good placement. You get to see combat, flight training. You could even become an astronaut. That's why I joined."
"An astronaut? Why didn't you ever tell me? That would've been so cool. You would've been like ten times cooler."
"Maybe. But I wouldn't have had you."

―R. Hale and Ruby Hale^[src]

"S.H.I.E.L.D. captured Gideon Malick."
"Is he talking?"
"It's bad. We have to move fast."

―Fischer and R. Hale^[src]

"I didn't choose Hydra. I was born into it. Just like you were born and raised and indoctrinated under the Stars and Stripes."
"Indoctrinated? No. I wasn't. I am not some wing nut, and I stand by my red, white, and blue."
"No. You stand by a country founded in oppression."

―R. Hale and Glenn Talbot^[src]

"I'd like to tell you my story, and I think you'll know it's time."
"Time for what?"
"It's time for S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra to finally unite."

―R. Hale and Phil Coulson^[src]

"We've been searching for an old Whitehall program. It's a Particle Infusion Chamber. It's designed to create the most powerful man."
"Like Captain America."
"Better than that. Personally, I'd like to see the most powerful human not be a man."

―R. Hale and Phil Coulson^[src]

Episode 5.16: Inside Voices

Dialogue

"Why not talk to Coulson about it? He has experience with it. And I think after two days in isolation, maybe an olive branch–"
"We've done the olive branch. We stick the screws to him now. A week without sleep and food, we'll see what he has to say."

―Ruby Hale and R. Hale^[src]

"Who the hell do you think you are?"
"I'm the Destroyer of Worlds."
"Then go get them."

―R. Hale and Ruby Hale^[src]

Episode 5.17: The Honeymoon

Dialogue

"I have great plans for you."
"Like Whitehall had great plans for you? You have always said that you wanted a choice, but you've never given me one."
"I know that I've demanded a lot from you recently, but I–"
"No, Mom, you've demanded the impossible!"

―R. Hale and Ruby Hale^[src]

Episode 5.18: All Roads Lead...

Dialogue

"Stop! Stand down! That's an order! I surrender."
"And we totally believe you."
"There's no time for us to fight each other, I need your help. We all need to leave right now."

―R. Hale and Quake^[src]

"All I ever wanted was for you to reach your true potential. I'm sorry. I pushed you too hard."
"Mom, this was a mistake."
"No. My daughter is not a mistake."

―Hale and Ruby Hale^[src]

Episode 5.20: The One Who Will Save Us All

Spoken by Hale

"I've been angry for so long. You know, every time I got passed over, ignored, talked down to, I just swallowed it. I told myself I'd make it better for Ruby, but that anger was just always there the hatred. In the end, all I did was carry out Hydra's agenda. I never even took a breath, stop to think about the gift that life had given me."

―R. Hale to Phil Coulson^[src]

Dialogue

"You need to take a deep breath and calm your mind, Glenn. You know what's best. It's best if you comply."
"Compliance will be rewarded."
"That's right."
"And so will your betrayal."

―R. Hale and Glenn Talbot^[src]
