Mack Mackenzie quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[after finding her team, Mack and Daisy holding each other at gunpoint] Everybody, stand down! S.H.I.E.L.D.'s not the enemy, and you definitely don't wanna piss off the young Agent Johnson here. [indicates Daisy, who glares at her] We've got about nineteen Agent Johnsons on our side, though none that can take down a building. [Coulson appears at her side] Rosalind Price, by the way.

Daisy

Coulson?

Coulson

It's okay. The A.T.C.U. is here to help.

Mack

Really? 'Cause the other day, they wanted Daisy's head for their trophy case!

Coulson

Agent Mackenzie.

Bit of an exaggeration- but, that was then, and this is now. And, right now, we're here to contain a threat, same as you. Fan out! [she and her team move out]

Daisy

[angrily to Coulson] I get that you cut a deal with them, but for the record-

Coulson

It's a means to an end.

Daisy

[sharply] Ours, or theirs?

Hunter

Is that a person?

Daisy

Oh god.

Hunter

Is he dead?

Daisy

No they're monitoring him. He's alive.

Mack

But in, some kind of what... a coma?

Daisy

This is ATCU. This is where they're storing Inhumans they find. Like animals in cages.

Bobbi

All we have to do is take control of the castle and open the portal so they can return.

Mack

So, just take the ultra-fortified Hydra castle and open the alien portal. That's it? You know, you're wired different than most folks.

Bobbi

I'm not saying it'll be easy.

Hunter

I wouldn't mind hearing it's gonna be easy.

Bobbi

It'll be easy.

Hunter

Doesn't work if I know you're lying.

Hunter

Invisibility. Imagine the possibilities.

Bobbi

What are you imagining?

Hunter

Nothing fun.

Bobbi

Get used to it. Can't put the Terrigen genie back in the bottle. Powers are the new normal.

Mack

Maybe you're just jealous.

Hunter

Damn right I am. Tell me you didn't try one of those little fish oil pills. I had my fingers crossed for X-ray vision. [pause] I was just curious! I wasn't the only one.

Bobbi

I mean I thought about it, I didn't actually do it.

Mack

[Tied to a chair in Elena's apartment] The chair's an upgrade. At least there's that.

[In Spanish] I don't know what you're saying.

Mack

Yeah, I don't know what you're saying.

Mack

[Gathering intel on Elena] She works a clerical job in a museum. At night, art classes.

Hunter

Artist turned gun runner. Kinda sexy.

Bobbi

No record.

Mack

It doesn't add up.

Hunter

She's got powers. That's how it adds up. [At Joey's and Daisy's hard looks] Andrew was a lovely head shrinker before he turned into a not so lovely Inhuman serial killer.

Mack

Point made.

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.

Mack

[observing the imploded building] Do we take this to bring back with us? Study it?

Fitz

Uh, yeah, sure. Have you been working out? 'Cause it weighs, like, 100,000 tons. It's a building.

Mack

So... no, then.

Fitz

What does he think you do?

Mack

Insurance.

Fitz

Well, not any more, I'd wager.

Mack

You're gonna tell us everything you know. About Malick, about your plans, about that thing you brought back through the portal.

I should thank you. Without S.H.I.E.L.D., he never would've made it home.

Mack

[chuckles] Wow. You're really drinking the Kool-Aid, aren't you? Oh, this leader of yours must be a real charmer.

We don't have leaders. We're working towards a common goal.

Mack

That's what they tell you when you join a cult, but it's actually not true.

Mack

How's he holding up?

May

No one comes to me with their feelings.

Mack

Makes sense.

May

Coulson has another way. But it's risky and irresponsible.

Mack

Then why are you smiling?

Coulson

Ok, the plan's simple. Go in, kill Hive, get out.

May

What's protocol when it comes to the other Inhumans in town?

Coulson

Do not engage unless absolutely necessary. These people are under Hive's control. We don't want to hurt them. I can't be with you on the ground, but I will be watching your helmet feeds. Be careful and be smart. This may be our only chance to catch Hive by surprise.

Mack

And worse case scenario? If Hive can't be killed?

Coulson

I suggest running. Very fast. Away.

May

Was that a spaceship?

Coulson

It's too small. Looks like more of a satellite.

Mack

Why am I not relieved?

Mack

Armageddon. Whatever he's doing is pure evil. I'm talking end of times, biblical evil. 2000 years of darkness evil.

Yo-Yo

You need a beer. And some faith.

Mack

You ever wonder if that's a word we use to fool ourselves? To give us false hope?

Yo-Yo

That's how evil wins. When good people begin to doubt, and run the other way, instead of stand up and fight. You see it everywhere. In Colombia we have a saying El mal presas los débiles porque miedos fuertes.

Mack

Evil preys on the weak because it fears the strong.
