Daisy Johnson quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lincoln

Safe as houses.

Daisy

What?

Lincoln

It's an expression, people say that.

Daisy

Sure. And someday you can tell me how you survived the Dust Bowl and the Hoover Administration, Grandpa.

Lincoln

That's an ugly side of you, Daisy.

Coulson

The ATCU is looking for a cure. I'm not suggesting that's for everyone, because it's not, but some people might want to...

Daisy

We are not a disease.

Coulson

I didn't say that you were.

Daisy

You can't just expect people to go through that kind of change and immediately have a handle on it. Do you remember how scared I was at first?

Coulson

Yes, I also remember you iced yourself so that you wouldn't hurt any of us. You've got to admit, things are getting out of hand.

Daisy

Just admit it, you're afraid of people like me. Afraid of our power.

Absolutely. Do you even know your own strength? Could you take down this plane for instance?

Daisy

I wouldn't do that.

But if you wanted to? You could kill me right now. Mankind's scary enough as it is, some psycho gets a gun and watch out. But now, people are their own weapon.

Daisy

Not everyone is like...

Some is enough. That's all it takes.

Daisy

You only see the terrible things.

That's not true.

Daisy

I protect people.

It doesn't matter.

Daisy

How can you say that?

Because for every Daisy Johnson, there's a Lash and it's ignorant for you to think otherwise.

Bobbi

So, what do you know about this conference? Other than small, secret, just a few countries.

Daisy

They're calling it a "Symposium on the Alien Contagion". No wonder everyone is afraid of us, when they use words like that. And you know, we're only part alien- and it's not a disease, it's an awakening.

Bobbi

...Interesting word choice.

Daisy

I mean, for me. Terregenesis... made me who I was supposed to be. It's given me a gift, and I use it to stop bad people from doing bad things.

Bobbi

Unfortunately, some of those "bad people" are also Inhumans.

Daisy

Yeah, well you know who else does bad things? Humans! But you don't see any "Symposium on the Human Contagion!"

Bobbi

[shrugs] Humans, we know. Inhumans are brand new territory- people fear what they don't understand. [pause] Any word from Lincoln? How's his, uh, field op with May going?

Daisy

[shrugs] It's just a trial run. But, having been there myself, I'd say... he's miserable.

Fitz

Hey, hey. The residue from the bombs. It's got nitromine in it.

Daisy

I don't know what that is, but your tone of voice makes it sound bad.

Fitz

It's uh, Howard Stark developed it after World War II. It causes implosions.

Mack

Uh. That's weird.

Daisy

Weird, how? That they got their hands on it?

Mack

Nitromine isn't stable enough to be used in a gel based explosive. Or, at least it shouldn't be.

Fitz

So, the Watchdogs have been making improvements to nitromine.

Daisy

Well... just, just to be clear...

Fitz

Actually, I think I've got some sodium hydrogen acetate back in Zephyr 1.

Mack

That'll help if we encounter any more bombs.

Daisy

[Shakes her head in confusion] Sodium hy...

Fitz

Hydrogen acetate.

It neutralizes nitromine.

Daisy

Okay. Thank you, nerd herd.

Daisy

With Mack on bed rest, we could use the extra muscle.

Coulson

He's the only one with extra muscles.

Daisy

I know what's coming.

May

Then get off your ass and show me.

Yo-Yo

What is Hydra?

Daisy

Kidnapping Inhumans, global terrorism, all-around bad dudes.

Daisy

How you been James?

You know, just catching up on my soaps. What brings you out here in the middle of nowhere? Did you break things up with blondie, looking for a lap to cry on?

Daisy

Are you drunk?

Well, I'm Australian, so yes.

Daisy

When Hive takes over a body, he steals that person's memories. That's as close to stealing a soul as you can get.

Mack

Memory is the scribe of the soul.

Daisy

The Bible?

Mack

Aristotle. What? I have dimensions.

Daisy

Hey.

Hive

Sorry. Having trouble; my memories. You were in that one.

Daisy

Do you have any idea what you did to me?

Hive

Yes. I remember. You're in pain.

Daisy

[getting down on her knees] Please... take me back.

Hive

You know, killing me won't make the pain go away. Or will it? I can't remember.

Daisy

I don't want you to die. I want you to suffer.

Daisy

Even when I tried killing him, he beat me. My powers are nothing compared to Hive.

May

I don't give a damn about your powers. They're not what made you an agent. I did.

Daisy

You have no idea what I did. I have nothing left.

May

Why did Andrew save you? Yeah, you did a lot of bad things. All you can do now is balance the scales, do some good. You wanna give up? Live in a box? Go ahead. But that hurt stays in there with you, believe me.

Daisy

[crying] You can't just die for me like this. It's... it's wrong!

Lincoln

I don't know, saving the girl I love and the world at the same time? Feels pretty right to me.

Daisy

You don't get to decide who deserves to die.

Robbie

I'm not the one who decides.
