Melinda May
- Melinda May: You saw it. That was Coulson. Even had the same damn twinkle in his eye.
- Daisy 'Skye' Johnson: Or Sarge finally learned how to land a joke.
- Izel: Tell me. What do you feel?
- Sarge: Anger. And fear. Fear of this pain that's been a knife in my heart for so long.
- Melinda May: That's love. That pain is love. I know because... I was afraid of it, too. But you let me feel it. You gave that gift to me. You pulled me out of that cubicle, you gave me purpose, a crew... Remember me. Remember us. Daisy and Mack, and Yo-Yo, Fitz and Simmons. You love us.
- Sarge: You're right. It's love. The pain is love.
- Melinda May: Yes.
- Sarge: And I know how to end it.
- [stabs May with the sword]
- Sarge: To cut it out of me. Slice it away and be done with it.
- Melinda May: You think I haven't seen something like this before?
- Sarge: Doubtful.
- Melinda May: Our friend Robbie Reyes had something inside him, not exactly a Teddy bear. He was able to control it.
- Sarge: That's my point. I don't know that I can control it.
- Melinda May: What is it?
- Sarge: That's her song. I hear it in my sleep.
- Melinda May: I don't like this.
- Sarge: It means she's close, to opening the gate, to summoning them; last chance to walk away.
- Melinda May: I'm not afraid.
- Sarge: That's one of us.
- Melinda May: Whatever we're about to face in there, you'll do the right thing.
- Sarge: How can you know that?
- Melinda May: Because I know who you are.
- Sarge: Look, this isn't gonna be easy to hear, but if you're harboring any hope that after all this, I'm gonna turn into this "Coulson" guy, you gotta let that go. Do I want an alien passenger in my head? No. But if I kick it loose, what's left of me won't be the love of your life.
