Phil Coulson quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hunter

Three men, heavily armed - bet there's more where they came from.

Ward

Does it matter? They got a cyborg on board with rockets in his arm.

Coulson

He's not a cyborg - he's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent... with rockets in his arm.

Coulson

Robert. It's good to see you.

Is it?

Coulson

Okay. It's good to see my bus. But, hey. You look well, too.

Ward

Can we just address the elephant on the plane? I know. This is weird. Mistakes were made.

Fitz

By you.

Ward

And people got hurt.

Fitz

By you.

Ward

And I could stand here and explain again how my parents - and brother left me vulnerable...

May

[scoffs] We all had our traumas, Ward. Didn't turn any of us into psychopaths.

Ward

Well, we all have our own ways of coping, don't we? For example, I was yours.

Coulson

Watch it, Ward!

Ward

Look, I'm just saying we all made mistakes. Coulson handed me over to my abuser, thank you. Skye shot me-

Simmons

After you killed how many people?

Fitz

Yeah, and we were a team and a family, and you betrayed us!

Ward

I know. It's what I regret the most. Not the lying, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents I had to put down, and I'm sorry not even dropping you two in the ocean. It's this. My actions destroyed this. I'll regret that forever. 'Cause there were good times. Right? Before? I mean, for a while there, we were a good team. Weren't we?

Skye

[dramatic pause] I'm still happy I shot you.

Fitz

Yeah, me too.

Simmons

Should've aimed for the face.

[holds out the Tool Box] Time to honor our agreement.

Coulson

[Takes the Tool Box, opens it, hands it back] Here you go. Unlocked and all yours. Go nuts. At least until Fury shows up and asks for it back. [pause] Oh. Spoiler alert. [His cell rings] Oh. Hey. [He shows Gonzales that it's a call from Maria Hill] I have to take this.

Lincoln

The indexing? They just asked a lot of questions. I'm sure you guys already have my blood from when I was out, right?

Coulson

It's protocol.

Lincoln

Hydra said the same thing.

Hunter

You're really going to let Captain Ahab just waltz in there and have a fireside chat with Skye's mom?

Coulson

I am, though that is a really strange way of putting it.

Coulson

If I don't put my faith in them, then S.H.I.E.L.D. will fall apart all over again.

Hunter

Hate to break it to you, but S.H.I.E.L.D. will also fall apart if a dozen angry enhanced blokes rain terror on us all.

Fitz

[excited] Sir! Good news. I modified my field generators to act in unison as a quantum field disruptor.

Coulson

Great. You're saying you found a way to shut down Gordon's teleportation ability?

Fitz

[deflated] Well, now my news sounds less good.

Mack

What the hell took you so long?

Coulson

It's a big boat. With poor signage.

Coulson

How's he doing?

Okay- for now.

Coulson

Third incident already this month, but at least we're able to get our hands on this one.

Daisy

The rate of new cases is increasing.

Coulson

We knew it would, after the initial reports.

Daisy

A new Inhuman could emerge anywhere, without any idea what's happened.

Coulson

Only in the continental U.S. so far. Plus, this new aircraft can stay in the air much longer than the old plane. Days, really, so rapid response anywhere is-

Daisy

[grins] You love your new toy, don't you?

Coulson

[smiles] I very much love my new toy. But, even with the mind-boggling range on this puppy-

Daisy

Inhumans are still disappearing.

Hunter

[on the Black Ops group who are capturing Inhumans] They're not Hydra. You know I've been digging, and my street sources tell me Hydra's gone silent. Eerily silent, yes, but-

Coulson

Yep. The Hydra finances we track are static; no money's changing hands.

Hunter

And by the looks of the hardware these gung-ho nutters are using, they're well-funded. [holds up one of their guns]

Coulson

So, if this woman's not Hydra, what is she?

Mack

[indicates her files] Everything else? I mean, look at this- two years, CIA-

Hunter

Is that MI6?

Mack

Yeah, at which time she was consulting with the CDC, apparently.

Coulson

All under different aliases.

Hunter

Hmmm- I like her.

Mack

How we supposed to track down someone like this? We can't look everywhere.

Coulson

If we can trace that hardware, that'll give us a place to start. [to Hunter] Take that down to Bobbi in the lab- have the team analyze it.

Hunter

Ohhh no, no, no- no, I- I'm not going anywhere near Bobbi. [Coulson and Mack give each other incredulous looks]

Coulson

Fine, I'll take it to her myself. [removes his mechanical forearm] I wouldn't want you to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

Hunter

Yeah, I know that's sarcasm, and I'm choosing to accept your thoughtfulness at face value.

Coulson

Mack, you should head downstairs, assist Skye with intake.

Mack

Daisy.

Coulson

Daisy! Damn it. [shakes his head] Hard for us to get used to, huh? [Hunter and Mack shrug]

Mack

Mmmm... No, just you.

Bobbi

Who is Professor Randolph?

Coulson

This monolith has been studied for centuries. Well, Randolph's actually been on the planet for those centuries. And he's traveled through space in a portal. And he's also an alien. So, he's got a lot going for him.

Bobbi

This looks a lot like it was made to hold...

Fitz

The monolith! This machine was designed to control the portal. To open and close it at will.

Coulson

Do you know that? Or is that just what you hope it to be?

Fitz

Well there's only one way to find out.

Daisy

If the point of the machine was to resonate the room at a certain frequency; I can do that.

Coulson

And you can replicate it?

Daisy

Kind of drilled into my brain.

Coulson

And it could kill you. How long to you think you could hold it?

Daisy

Maybe a minute.

Coulson

If it's too much, you pull back. I can't lose you too.

Coulson

Skye, hey? Skye are you okay? Skye?

Daisy

It's Daisy.

Coulson

What?

Bobbi

It's Daisy now sir. You're really having a hard time with this huh?

Coulson

Damn it, yeah.
