Quotes 

• Phil Coulson : I heard what you did for me. I think it's time that we remove this.

  [Talks to her wrist binder] 

  Phil Coulson : Disengage bracelet.

  [Bracket comes off] 

  Skye : Are you kidding me?

  Phil Coulson : I thought you'd like that.

• Raina : It induces theta brain-wave frequencies to help uncover the secrets buried in the subconscious. If you cooperate, you can surf those waves.

  Phil Coulson : I've gone surfing. That is definitely not like surfing.

• Phil Coulson : Evening, Doctor.

  Dr. Streiten : Agent Coulson.

  Phil Coulson : You weren't operating on my heart. I know about Tahiti.

  Dr. Streiten : I was afraid this day would come.

  Phil Coulson : Because of what I'd do?

  Dr. Streiten : Because of what I've done. After New York, you weren't dead for 8 seconds or 40 seconds or whatever they put in your file. You were dead for... days.

  Phil Coulson : That's impossible.

  Dr. Streiten : It should be.

• Phil Coulson : You will not get classified intel from me.

• Phil Coulson : What makes you so sure this machine will even work?

  Raina : It worked on me.

  Phil Coulson : One thing before we start - what is it with the flowers?

  Raina : Who doesn't like flowers? I'm glad you noticed.

• Raina : I know you don't want to believe it, but you can't tell me nothing makes you doubt, makes you wonder what happened in Tahiti.

  Phil Coulson : It's a magical place. I keep saying that.

  Raina : Don't you want to know why?

• Raina : This is turning into an interesting day, isn't it?

  Phil Coulson : So, you're my friend now? 'Cause I've seen what you do to your "friends".

• Phil Coulson : Why was that machine messing with my brain?

  Dr. Streiten : After what you'd been through we wanted to restore the man you'd once been, so we gave you a pleasant memory of a beautiful island. We didn't want you to be that... thing.

  Phil Coulson : What did I become, Doctor? Tell me.

  Dr. Streiten : You'd lost your will to live. We tried to give it back. I'm sorry, Agent Coulson. Truly, I am.

• Edison Po : [after Coulson tries to escape, sees he's in a ghost town]  The town that the bomb forgot. It was built in the '40s for nuclear testing, but when the cold war ended, the town was spared.

  Phil Coulson : Not exactly prime real estate.

  Edison Po : Mm, true.

  [Significantly] 

  Edison Po : There's nothing but desert for hundreds of miles. But I really like it. It's nice here. The children are always playing

  [Solider comes up and grabs Coulson by the neck] 

  Edison Po : ... Yet never make a sound.
