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

[To Daisy] You know, for a long time, you were everything that I wanted. You were my hero. And now look at us.

Hale

Ruby, let her go.

I am more than you will ever be.

Daisy

Ruby, I am not here to fight you. You need help.

I don't want your help! I want to crush you.

Hale

Ruby, that's enough! That's enough! You listen to her. She is on your side.

Then why aren't you?! Mom, face it, I was never good enough for you.

Daisy

I've been better. It's like the universe keeps reminding me that I should never have come back from the future. Also, some creep put a bunch of lemons on my bed as some weird sort of prank.

Deke

Sounds like classic Fitz. Look, I, um I feel like you're exactly where you're supposed to be. I, on the other hand, I, I lived in the Lighthouse my entire life, only to time travel into the past and still spend every single day of my life inside the freaking Lighthouse. So it's like, even without Kasius around, this place just has this leash that keeps pulling me back in.

Daisy

Well, I'm glad you stuck around, even if it's a little crazy.

Deke

W-Well, maybe it's not that crazy. I-I-I've been wanting to tell you something since we've gotten, you know, I don't want to say closer, but...

Daisy

You really don't. Everyone who gets close to me ends up dying.

Daisy

If I'm the one you want, fine, I won't resist, but first you have to put Coulson down.

You and I both know you can't be trusted.

Hale

I trust her.

Why would you trust Quake?

Hale

Because she kept her word. When Ruby was infected with Gravitonium, she tried to help.

Infected? Ruby was weak. Gravitonium wasn't intended for some itty-bitty little girl. It was meant for a hero strong enough to handle it.

Hale

You need to take a deep breath and calm your mind, Glenn. You know what's best. It's best if you comply.

Compliance will be rewarded.

Hale

That's right.

And so will your betrayal. [Kills Hale]

May

I'll take care of it. Go home, Phil, now.

Coulson

Are you giving me an order? 'Cause that sounded like you were giving me an...

May

Yes, I'm giving you an order! You're just gonna slow me down, so zip it and get to the... [Coulson kisses her]

Coulson

Thought that might shut you up. Now go.

Daisy

Uh...

Coulson

Not a word, Agent Johnson. That's an order.

Daisy

Copy that, Hot Lips.

Yo-Yo

Stop making me the bad guy. I'm not. You just don't want him to die.

Daisy

Put it down.

Yo-Yo

I don't want him to die, either, but he's just one man.

Mack

[Stops Daisy before she can start forward] No, no! None of that. Think about what you're doing here.

Yo-Yo

You won't listen. I'm in a nightmare, and I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, and none of you can hear me!

Simmons

We hear you.

Yo-Yo

Well, you won't listen! You all saw what happened, and none of you will help me stop this! I'm alone, and even you, even you won't help me.

Mack

No, you're not alone. We're in this with you, but we need to hold it together.

Yo-Yo

There's nothing holding us together.

Mack

Yes, there is! Hope. We never give up. We're always held together by hope.

Daisy

I'm glad you're taking point here at the Lighthouse. Who better than you to decide what the next generation will look like. Get to show them the ins and outs of this place.

Deke

Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna be around for all that. I'll call the mayor and give the tour, but when you get back, I-I think I'll be out of here.

Daisy

[Surprised] Why?

Deke

This is my room. I'm like a squirrel, hoarding anything I can find. Also, side note, found a nature book. Learned about squirrels.

Daisy

Old habits die hard.

Deke

It's more like I'm a damaged person. From a damaged world. If there's even a chance that could happen again...

Daisy

You'd want to see the world before it does.

Deke

I mean, besides, according to Fitz, if the world doesn't crack open and you break the time loop, I'll just blink out of existence anyway, so it's just one more vacancy, right? Come on. I never totally fit in with the gang, anyway.

Daisy

Is that what we are?

Deke

You know, when I first met you guys, I'd never seen anything like that. I'd seen people kill for each other without hesitation all the time, but I'd never seen a group that was willing to die for each other. Your trust, it just seemed too strong to break. And you trying to fix Coulson, that's great. I love the guy, but if you really want to lead one day, then you got to fix that. Just my two cents. I also read a book on idiomatic expressions.

Daisy

Yeah. I'm aware that we rolled the dice with Coulson, and I still believe that we need him for this, but I will admit that I let my emotions get the best of me. I thought that Coulson was the only one who could keep us all on the same page. You would say that's proof that I can't do the job, that I shouldn't lead. Well, I agree. The truth is, I can't hold the team together. But he can. Coulson wants me to call the shots in his absence. Well, that's my decision. Mack should call the shots. He has the biggest heart. I mean, physically, but also, you know... You are our moral center. And, look, I never want to stop being a soldier. He's a general we can all rally behind. Anyone who thinks I'm 100% right about this, raise your hand? :[Everyone raises their hands.]

Coulson

[Enters the room] Couldn't have said it better myself.

Simmons

Oh, thank god.

Fitz

Sir, good to see you.

Coulson

Hold the applause. She didn't go through that for nothing. Time to suit up. So what do we do?

Mack

We save lives.

Mack

Remember how good it felt to walk in here when we first got back? The Zephyr has been the one place we've been able to call home these last few years.

Daisy

I'll always miss the Bus.

May

Me, too.

Yo-Yo

I wish I would've known you guys back then.

Simmons

We were different people back then.

Coulson

I spent a lot of years– Sorry. I've lived a life– surrounded by heroes. None bigger than all of you. Since the day you joined, same as anyone in the line of duty– heroes, because you– because we sign up to lose each other. To get close to good people– and have them taken away. We've all suffered losses. Never lose sight of that.

Daisy

I never forget those we've lost.

May

That's right.

Mack

Yeah. That's why we're putting that badge up in the cockpit. To never forget.

Coulson

You don't have to forget. But you have to move on.

Simmons

No. With respect, sir, you're wrong. We don't move on. We hold that place in our heart, we close it off, we lock the door, we visit from time to time, but we don't move on. Even after we say goodbye.

Daisy

It's time to head home. Yeah, head home and regroup.

Piper

Thank God. I mean, one more week with Davis and we will find a dead body, his.

Davis

Yes, because one more week with you and I will definitely kill myself.

Daisy

You guys never wavered. You stayed on when the rest of the crew got off. Thank you. I know this is a lot more than what you guys bargained for, and I think we will all benefit from getting back to, uh, familiar territory. To loved ones. We need them. And they may need us.

The planet of Kitson is a nasty place, absent any basic scrap of decency.

Piper

Someone just described Florida.

Most are ashamed to utter the word "Kitson" as it sounds like the braying of an animal in heat. There's even a well-known saying, "What happens on the planet of Kitson..."

Daisy

"...stays on Kitson?"

No. "...is contagious and burns."

Daisy

Do you remember when we first met?

Simmons

Yeah. You lived in a van.

Daisy

Mm-hmm.

Simmons

And it really smelled.

Daisy

No, it didn't.

Simmons

Yeah. We called it the Fartmobile. You had, You had big hair.

Daisy

You had big nerd face. What house are you in, hm? Gryffindor?

Simmons

Uh, Ravenclaw. Girl, please.

Daisy

Do you know any spells?

Simmons

[Waves a straw] Expecto Patronum! [Hallucinates a miniature Fitz in a monkey costume balancing on the straw] Hello, little monkey Fitz.

Simmons

Hey, I think my parents are mice.

Daisy

That makes sense.

Simmons

I'm sorry for dragging you across the universe.

Daisy

Oh, no, don't be. It's good. It's only made us closer.

Simmons

I just miss Fitz so much.

Daisy

Aw, yeah. I'm sorry. I wish I had my own Fitz. Well, not Fitz, but, you know...

Simmons

No, I know. You've had just awful luck in that department. It's so sad. But you are so strong now and so confident. I'm so proud of you.

Daisy

Really? It means so much coming from you.

Simmons

You just mean so much. You're my best friend.

Daisy

I love you, too.

Simmons

Your skin is so soft.

Simmons

P-Pardon me, sir, but I have reason to believe that my husband, sorry, uh, my future husband is behind that door.

And what reason is that?

Simmons

Uh, the the the dolphin told me in a secret signal only I can hear that was meant just for me.

Enoch

There is no hope, only loss. Decommissioned. Hunted. I have become a cautionary tale used to steer children away from a life of crime and excess.

Davis

Would it be rude to turn him off? His constant complaining is giving me a headache.

Piper

Yeah, well, you are the Puff-Head who got high and shot up our super-threatening fuse box, so...

Davis

Never mind. Sorry I was wrong. The source of the headache is Piper. Definitely Piper.

Enoch

Poor Fitz. Though now I walk alone, I will never forget my one and only friend.

Simmons

Your only friend? But you have us.

Enoch

When last we met, I forcibly abducted your team and sent you all into a dystopian future.

Daisy

Yeah, maybe not the best start, but in the end, you really came through.

Enoch

I did?

Simmons

In the future, you sacrificed yourself for us. Without you, we never would have been able to get home and save Earth from destruction.

Simmons

Enoch was right. Fitz can't solve time travel without me, but not as a hostage, as his partner. Fitz and I, we're a team. Let the others leave, and I'll go with you.

Daisy

No. No, no. Don't do this. We will find another way.

Simmons

But there isn't one. We're impossibly outnumbered. We're unarmed. Even if we make it to the Zephyr, there's a fleet of ships waiting to blast us into oblivion. This is the end of the road. You followed me for a year across the galaxy. I never would have made it here without you, but I won't keep putting you in danger. Thank you. Now go home.

Daisy

No. Simmons, I, I can't leave you.

Simmons

You have to. Whatever happens, at least I'll be with Fitz. We'll have each other.

Sarge

So, this lady [May] was in love with this dead Coulson guy. Anyone else have a thing for him?

Daisy

Yeah, I'm... Uh, this is too much. [Leaves]

Sarge

Her, too, huh? Daddy issues?
