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

Daisy

Where I come from, we protect each other.

Deke

You are storming the castle. Any plan how you're gonna do that alive? [No answer] That's what I thought.

Daisy

This is what I do. My friend's life is on the line, so I'll figure something out.

Deke

Oh, just all in, totally blind, huh? It's a stupid way to play, even if you have a good hand. You should be playing the long game.

Daisy

The long game?

Deke

Yes. I can make it so that you could waltz down there with an invitation from the big man, but that takes serious time. It takes finesse.

Kasius

You were right. It's a rare occasion that I am surprised, but count this among them.

Deke

I told you she'd find her way down here. And demonstrating her powers, no less. That right there is a weapon of mass destruction, tied up in one pretty, little package, all for you. We can talk about price later, but I expect that you'll be more than fair.

Kasius

So, this is Quake, Destroyer of Worlds. How is it possible that she's here?

Deke

The important thing is... she's yours.

Daisy

I'll kill you. I swear.

Deke

Sorry, sweetheart. I'm just playing the long game.

We do this, demonstrate our powers, and go with whomever buys us because our families get compensated once we're gone.

Daisy

You mean they get paid to sell you.

I mean they have a better shot at survival. Survival is everything.

Daisy

This is insane.

This is life. Otherwise, our families could pay the price. You have people you care about I heard that much. If you care about them, I suggest you play the game. And if they pit us against each other, I suggest you try to win. 'Cause I will.

Daisy

How is Fitz even here?

Simmons

I don't know! He just showed up out of nowhere with his own spaceship.

Daisy

It's a baller move. Not to mention the whole bounty-hunter look he's rocking.

Simmons

I still prefer him in cardigans.

Daisy

Do you have any idea what he's planning?

Simmons

Yeah, I'm not sure, actually. We haven't had a moment to speak, though it would seem he's here to purchase us.

Daisy

What if it doesn't work?

Simmons

I have a knife. [Shows Daisy a butter knife.]

Daisy

We can do better.

Simmons

Well, there was limited cutlery to choose from.

Fitz

I have a ship. We get there, then comes the plan. Hey, how's your head?

Daisy

I'll tell you when the ringing stops. By the way, "fight to the death"? Really?

Fitz

Yeah, well, I had to make a splashy entrance.

Daisy

Yeah, well, you could have jumped in the octagon yourself, then.

Fitz

Well, wouldn't be fair. I do push-ups now. Double digits.

Simmons

You have no idea how good it is to see you. You're here... with a spaceship. Seems impossible.

Fitz

Nothing is impossible anymore.

Simmons

Full story later.

Fitz

Yeah, there will be pints.

Simmons

There will be gin.

Daisy

Well, it's convenient, you showing up right now.

Deke

Convenient? No, it's mind-blowing I managed to escape my room after Coulson welded the door shut. I had to crack a window. A lot of my personal valuables are now floating around space, thanks very much, everybody.

Daisy

What? This story's supposed to make me feel better, that Coulson locked you up?

Deke

We were working out our differences, all right? I don't have time to get into this.

Fitz

Can we discuss this after we're out of the line of fire?

Deke

Yes, thank you, this guy. Now please follow me. We go up the service shafts. It'll lead us right onto the trawler.

Daisy

No, no, no, no. This is the guy that sold me to Kasius.

Simmons

Oh. Kill him. He's a snake.

Fitz

I'm gonna cut his throat open.

Deke

I'm a pragmatist, all right? Just lis... just listen. I told you that I would lead you to your friend. There she is. And I stopped you from doing something drastic that would have gotten people killed in the process. [Notices a wounded Fitz.] Though you don't look great.

Fitz

Thank you.

Deke

When you're a kid, you... you learn fast not to cross the Kreepers because they'll send you to the surface, and up there, you die. But, hey, turns out that everything's a lie and people can survive up here, and even that batty old lady made it.

Daisy

The one who sees through time? Probably should've mentioned that.

Deke

Yeah, well, I thought she was crazy, all right? And as I mentioned, dead. Back in the Lighthouse, Virgil used to bring her tea every day and listen to her stories. That is, until Kasius sent her and my dad topside.

Daisy

Must have been sad to lose him. I'm... sorry.

Deke

No, I was too bitter to be sad. As far as I was concerned, his loony theories got my mom killed. So he gets himself sent to the surface... good riddance. Then you guys actually show up...

Daisy

Sucks when your parents get to say, "I told you so."

Deke

Yeah, he can say it. I just hope he says that he forgives me.

Daisy

Yeah, well, from my experience, he probably wants the same thing.

Fitz

To me, Robin was a little girl only days ago.

Simmons

We're not meant to see a life like this... at its beginning and end. It's too much.

Coulson

Maybe it makes us appreciate how short life really is.

Daisy

So, what now?

Deke

We live on this crashed airplane until the Kree or... or the roaches or the gravity storms finish us off.

Coulson

I think we can do better than that.

Daisy

Yeah, but at least that way, I don't go back in time and quake the world apart.

May

We do go back. Robin told me how. We can save everyone. Just one question, though. Who's Flint?

Coulson

I'm sorry she [Robin] had to go like that. You want to talk about it?

May

I, um... don't know where to start.

Coulson

An old woman tells you that she was your daughter and that you'll save the planet from cracking apart. Doesn't happen every day.

May

It's hard to believe.

Coulson

That we can do it?

May

That... I was a mom. I just... I can't see it.

Coulson

I can.

Daisy

Yeah. You'd be that no phone, no TV, 7:30 curfew kind of mom. [May scowls] You're kind of... proving my point with the face.

Deke

Oh, damn it. Really? We had to leave the machine in the hands of some automaton? I knew the moment that I laid eyes on all of you that it was gonna spell my downfall. I'll go. I'll secure the machine and save the weird robot.

Daisy

Well, I'll come. It'd be better if we take the plane together.

Deke

Yeah. No duh. But none of the time travelers can go, because you all need to be at the rendezvous when it's turned on, so do the math.

Coulson

You're one guy against the Kree. You'll be massively outgunned.

Deke

I'm kind of trying to do the whole hero thing here, man. Is that your pep talk? You guys get killed, and who saves the world then? I told my parents not to believe in this roach-crap fairy tale, and they went and they died for it anyway. And I'm probably next in line. But there is no way in hell that I am gonna let some blue Kreeper destroy that machine before I get to see whether or not that damn thing was worth any of this.

Daisy

Look, I'm sure you put up a good fight, but if my ride home depends on that machine, I'm gonna secure it myself.

Deke

You, you drive me out of my skull, this part of you this impetuous, bullheaded squabble

Daisy

I was offering backup, genius.

Deke

No, when the other side of you is a friggin' hero who can't help herself but do good, then be great. The world needs that person to make it home. Just try not to destroy it when you get there.

Daisy

It was almost nice knowing you.

Deke

And you're a pain in my ass.

Daisy

Um, Chief... Wellins, is it? I'm here for Deke Shaw over there. I'm his state-assigned social worker.

Well, he didn't mention a social worker was supervising him. Your name?

Daisy

Sinara. Sinara Smith. It's Portuguese, Sinara, not Smith. Uh, he wandered off during a day trip. My apologies.

He was out of control.

Daisy

Yeah.

Deke

Says you.

Daisy

He's not even my toughest customer, believe me. Just a little... slippery. If you check online, you'll see that I sent out an alert when I lost him.

What are Mr. Shaw's issues?

Daisy

I mean, how much time do you have, sir? Uh, complex neurological deficiencies, low... low I.Q., poor motor skills. Oh, he hasn't, uh, soiled himself today, has he?

Daisy

How do you show up in another time and, like, immediately get arrested?

Deke

Have you even tried Zima?

Daisy

I thought they might have gotten you to talk about us or something.

Deke

What? No. I know you guys are covertness. I'm not gonna talk about you. You forget, I survived the Kree.

Daisy

Yeah, by ratting people out.

Deke

Yes, true, that did happen. But not this time.

Daisy

I thought you'd be, like, emotionally distraught or something.

Deke

Emotionally distraught? This is awesome! I thought that I was gonna die. But instead, I'm about to go for a walk outside. Also, there is "an outside." I was walking here, and, yes, I was pretty drunk, but I... I saw in a store window there was these green apples and steaks and these... and these things called gummy bears. You know what people aren't eating here is sterilization pellets. I love this place so much.

Daisy

How could you... keep this from us?

Coulson

I'm sorry. I didn't want you trying to find a solution when we had bigger problem...

Daisy

We had a solution. Tess was brought back from the dead. We had a solution right there.

Coulson

I didn't want to go through all that... again.

Daisy

So you just give up? You don't get to do that. You make life-and-death decisions for us all the time, and we're not allowed the same courtesy? After everything? We deserved to... We deserved to know. [Leaves, with Coulson looking on]

Mack

How much more time does he have on his clock?

Simmons

Um, I won't be able to tell until I can chart its progression, but even now, he's at risk of various... At some point, sir, your heart will just stop beating.

Simmons

You would point a gun at me?

Fitz

The Doctor would. He programmed it to make sure I'd go through with it. He didn't want to hurt you. Just like he didn't want to hurt Mack. But it's just... I wouldn't have done any of this if I didn't believe it was going to work.

Simmons

You don't know it's going to work.

Fitz

The science is sound. There are always risks involved. You know that, Jemma.

Simmons

You're right, but potentially paralyzing Daisy or destroying the world are two massive risks, Fitz.

Fitz

Let's hope that that doesn't happen.

Daisy

No. No, no, no, no, no. Fitz, Fitz, Fitz! No, please. Please, Fitz. Fitz, I am begging you. Please, you do not want to do this.

Fitz

No, I don't. But I have to.

Daisy

No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no! [softly] I will... I will never forgive you.

Fitz

I suspect you won't be the only one.

Fitz

We had to seal the rift shut.

Daisy

[Very angry] By any means, no matter how sadistic.

Fitz

Okay. Well, would you have agreed to do it?

Daisy

Never.

Fitz

Well, then, I didn't have a choice.

Daisy

[enraged, pushes him against the wall with her powers.] You didn't have a choice? You drugged me, you restrained me, and you cut into me.

Fitz

I don't feel good about it, either, but in a few hours, the town up there would've been affected, as well, so, I'm sorry. I don't need your forgiveness. I just need you to trust me.

Daisy

You are not leaving this room. You are Hydra.

Fitz

Well, that's an advantage. I salute the same flag as those people.

Daisy

Yeah, but we don't turn on our own here.

Fitz

Do you want me to recount all the times that you did?
