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

Simmons

Whoever took this bullet out did an awful job.

Daisy

I don't get an A for effort?

Simmons

You haven't been to a proper doctor?

Daisy

Well you're hard to get an appointment with.

Robbie

I need to get off this plane, now.

Daisy

[typing on her laptop] That should put you in... rural Utah. And you think you're pissed off now...

Robbie

Now this is the part I never told you, the thing I try to hide. When I was thrown from the car I begged God, I begged the universe, I begged anyone who would listen that you be spared. I swore that I'd give anything to save you.

Daisy

Don't stop there. Then what?

Robbie

Well then I hit the street, and I died. Then there's nothing. It's just darkness. Then I heard a voice. It was asking me if I wanted a second chance, did I want to punish those who hurt my brother? Did I want to avenge my own death? I answered yes, more than anything, yes. I was alive again. And you're right, there was someone there when I came to, but it wasn't a Good Samaritan, it was the Devil. Whatever was inside him, he passed it into me.

Ghost Rider.

Robbie

That's the deal I made. I swore to go after those who spilled innocent blood, and then I was reborn.

Daisy

Hey guys? I've got some big, fat, disappointing news. I can't hack in or shut down the plant's operating system from here.

Fitz

Well, you're out of practice. Too much punching, not enough hacking.

Daisy

Very funny. No, I can't hack in because their system isn't on a network, it predates the internet. Coulson, how did anything ever get done back in the old timey days?

Coulson

I ask myself that all the time.

I knew Robbie was disturbed, but... but I was afraid that was 'cause of me... 'cause I was holding him back.

Daisy

No, you... you're what he held onto. You grounded him.

But I wanted him to leave. You know, figure himself out. I didn't know that was what he was up against.

Daisy

Your brother loves you more than anything.

I just wish we had talked. You really think he's not gone?

Daisy

I know the feeling when someone's gone, and I don't feel that now. Plus, your brother's pretty damn stubborn.

Robbie

Please be careful with my baby.

Robbie

No, no. No, no.

Daisy

It heals itself. Scientifically impossible self-healing car.

Robbie

That only works when I'm the Rider.

Daisy

[Angrily] I never carry a weapon.

[Angrily] You are the weapon. The public was turning against you. Now? They look up to you. You're welcome.

We're a team now, and I have this saying...

Daisy

I read the motivational poster in the bathroom.

Coulson

With Nadeer and her staff in the meeting we have an opportunity.

What opportunity? I wasn't briefed on any opportunity.

Coulson

While Nadeer's in with Daisy, Yo-Yo and I will get into her office and plant surveillance.

Daisy

We can finally keep an eye on her, figure out her next move.

What? No! No! No, there'll be no planting, no I'ing, no Yo-Yo'ing. S.H.I.E.L.D. is now legitimate. We have to remain above reproach.

Coulson

You mean like juicing our directors so we can pretend to be Inhuman? [Talbot shakes his head] Look, you were reacting to the situation we had, you put Jeffrey in place, I understand. But we're S.H.I.E.L.D., we have to be proactive.

This is politics, Phil. Which means politicians. They are a festering cesspool of toxic waste fires. You swim in those waters, you could get pulled under.

Coulson

You and the director can handle it, we'll handle the rest.

How you holding up? It's okay to be nervous you know.

Daisy

Me? Nah, I don't get nervous anymore.

Okay. Well, I'm just saying if you are...

Daisy

I mean it's not like my comfort zone, but I'm good. I'll just tell the truth, I'm good at that. You?

You don't talk much about your childhood, do you? The foster homes? Bouncing around. I imagine a lot of times you felt you had to perform to convince people to like you.

Daisy

Only at the places I wanted to stay. Why are you asking?

Because if you enter every room thinking you have to do a song and dance, eventually everything becomes a performance. And believe me, I know how it feels putting on an act full-time.

Daisy

Yeah, you do, don't you?

Anyway, I know it's not an act with you. Coulson's been saying since day one that you're the real deal, and I've learned to trust his read on people. So...

Daisy

He believed in me before I believed in myself. You too, you know. That's why he still wants you with us. He keeps saying you're trying to do the right thing.

Agent Johnson, as an Inhuman yourself, do you feel more responsibility to help Inhumans than normal Americans?

Daisy

Well, first of all Inhumans are normal, let's be clear about that. But with regard to whom I'll help, I'm here for all Americans, but more often than not, Inhumans are left to fend for themselves with few resources.

So Inhumans cause more trouble?

Daisy

No, Inhumans are more likely to be victims of hate crimes, which is not fair. They are our friends, they are our co-workers, our brothers. They all deserve help, wherever they may be.

Daisy

So, what was it like growing up with four of them?

There was a lot of crying.

Daisy

They picked on you?

I picked on them. It was fun. The laundry was disgusting. Enough DNA to make a clone army.

Daisy

The Watchdogs, the funding, the weapons, the EMP, Senator. It all leads back to you.

Always nice to meet an admirer.

Daisy

This isn't about admiration, or forgiveness.

A butcher does not seek forgiveness from the animals he slaughters.

Daisy

Have you ever read Animal Farm?

Simmons

So, we fight our way through the trained military personnel, then the ultra-powerful android doubles of our friends, somehow make it to the Zephyr, which we can't fly, to escape the base and try to plug our minds into an alternate reality.

Daisy

Okay, well, don't say it out loud, because that made it sound way worse. Let's just keep it one thing at a time, okay?

Daisy

So we have to go. Now.

Simmons

Meet at the rendezvous right away. That's where I programmed the backdoor to get out. And listen, living in there too long may kill you, but dying in there will definitely kill you, so, be careful.

Daisy

You, too.

Simmons

And remember, even if our vitals are going haywire, do not–

Yo-Yo

Do not pull you out or wake you up, I know. It will cook your brains like huevos rotos.

Simmons

Cause permanent damage to the cerebral cortex, yes.

Yo-Yo

Just promise me you'll get our guys back, okay?

Simmons

I promise.
