Jemma Simmons : Do you remember Donnie Gill?
Phil Coulson : I mean, I knew he was a gifted scientist, but you're saying he's... a *gifted* scientist.

Phil Coulson : Did you think I wouldn't find out?
[Opens her fridge]
Phil Coulson : Sriracha? Beer? That's all? What kind of diet is that?
Jemma Simmons : Well, I also have tea. And if my diet's such a concern, then perhaps dead drops shouldn't involve fast food.
Phil Coulson : We'll revisit that protocol.

Jemma Simmons : Morning, Theo!
Theo : That smile; a breath of sunshine in an otherwise dreary morning.
Jemma Simmons : Oh, you're too sweet. And you mix your metaphors.

Kenneth Turgeon : Ms. Simmons, I need everything you have on the samples you're working on.
Jemma Simmons : I'm not done. I'm testing a second set of dn...
Kenneth Turgeon : Right. Just whatever you have.
Jemma Simmons : What I have is more questions than answers.
Kenneth Turgeon : Okay, know what? I get it. You don't have time. Neither do I. The time tables have moved up, and I have been called upstairs to fill them in. No prep time, no powerpoint, just me, pants around my ankles, talking out of my butt.
Jemma Simmons : If you want, I could accompany you, present my analysis...
Kenneth Turgeon : Oh, no, y-you don't want to go up there. The higher you go... the scarier it is.

Sunil Bakshi : Let's discuss your previous employer. Why did you join S.H.I.E.L.D. in the first place?
Jemma Simmons : I was a 17-year-old girl with two Phds and a million questions. S.H.I.E.L.D. had the resources to help me answer them. Now they don't, and Hydra does.
Sunil Bakshi : So your loyalties are with us?
Jemma Simmons : My loyalties are with science. So long as Hydra allows me to do the work I want to be doing, then, yes, my loyalties are with Hydra.
Sunil Bakshi : Well, loyalties can be tested.

Sunil Bakshi : [Going to apprehend Donnie] I'll be listening to everything. You run into any trouble, I'll be in your ear, talking you through it.
Jemma Simmons : And what if he doesn't respond well?
Sunil Bakshi : Then I suppose there'll be a job opening at our laboratory.
