• Skye : Okay, we're sure, right? Everyone's sure?

  Jemma Simmons : We're all on board.

  Leo Fitz : Yeah, let's do this fast.

  Grant Ward : No turning back. No freezing up.

  Leo Fitz : Because if we do, then...

  Grant Ward : All of us die.

  Jemma Simmons : We know.

  Skye : Yeah.

  Leo Fitz : All right.

  Melinda May : [Revs engine]  You guys talk a lot.

• Grant Ward : Where's your side arm?

  Melinda May : If I need a gun, I'll take one.

  Grant Ward : Right, I forgot I was working with the cavalry.

  Melinda May : Don't ever call me that.

  Grant Ward : [after they get attacked by a bunch of commandos]  Should have taken more guns.

• Leo Fitz : [Tied up]  This is my fault. Should have learned kung fu.

  Jemma Simmons : Oh, yeah, but I shouldn't have pushed you into the field in the first place. You weren't ready.

  Grant Ward : It was my job to makea proper threat assessment.

  Leo Fitz : [to Simmons]  Uh, we. *We* weren't ready.

  Skye : This wouldn't have happened if Agent May wasn't on the stick. She would have busted out some of her ninja know how.

  Leo Fitz : Agent May? No. No, no. She transferred from administration.

  Skye : Well, I've seen her destroy a guy, so...

  [They all look at Ward] 

  Grant Ward : You've heard of the cavalry?

  Jemma Simmons : Yeah.

  Leo Fitz : Yeah. Everyone at the academy talks about stor -

  [Sudden realization] 

  Jemma Simmons , Leo Fitz : She's the cavalry?

  Melinda May : [Wakes up]  I told you never to call me that.

• Grant Ward : Looks like Skye might end up as more than just a consultant, despite our reservations. She could turn into a solid asset... with some serious work.

  Melinda May : Well, if she wants to be a field agent, she'll need a supervising officer someone disciplined, someone good.

  [Smiles at Ward] 

  Grant Ward : All right. I'll do it. Just to clarify, you were, uh, talking about me, right?

  [May smiles]
