Yo-Yo Rodriguez quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Well, how come I don't have my powers yet?

Yo-Yo

You have your power. It just hasn't revealed itself.

How long did yours take?

Yo-Yo

Oh, it was a total disaster. I crusted over three weeks earlier, after eating fish soup and tacos.

What are tacos?

Mack

What the hell kind of future is this?

Yo-Yo

Tacos are a food. Anyways, I had told myself this was just a dream. And then my cousin Francisco calls with bad news about his mom. I was upset, so I went to get a beer, and... whoosh! I'm back on my couch, beer in one hand. I realize I need a bottle opener, and whoosh again... I'm back on my couch, bottle opener in the other hand.

What did you think was happening?

Yo-Yo

My heart was beating so fast, I thought someone had put cocaine in my beer.

Mack

Whoa. Dial it back, Escobar.

Yo-Yo

I got so worried, I told my cousin Francisco to come over. He spent countless hours talking me out of an exorcism.

Fitz

Okay, if you guys really are gonna go fight a bunch of alien warriors, then you might be interested to know that, in the past, I hid a crate of S.H.I.E.L.D. tech in a wall on the base.

Mack

Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Thanks, Turbo.

Yo-Yo

Where?

Fitz

Level three.

Mack

Oh, you got to be kidding me.

Yo-Yo

You mean the level infested with aliens that suck your blood?

Fitz

Well, how was I... I feel like I'm not getting enough credit here. I have traveled through time and space to find you. I think we're moving past that bit a little bit too quickly.

Mack

Turbo, Turbo, Turbo, we wouldn't expect anything less. Thank you.

Yo-Yo

"Don't do anything rash, stay calm, and don't kill anyone, Yo-Yo." Yes, I remember your many stern warnings.

Mack

Okay. 'Cause we both know you don't exactly do well around people like this.

Yo-Yo

Evil men who kidnap and torment defenseless women and children? No, I don't.

Kasius

Stand down or experience death like your friend, many, many times.

Mack

You're a real piece of work, you know that?

Kasius

I am a god to be feared. Humans beg to be ruled. Without me, they'd have perished long ago.

Mack

I guess you're not a New Testament guy. Vengeance and torment are tools of the Devil.

Yo-Yo

And of the weak.

Kasius

You want a devil? I'll show you a Hell you cannot imagine.

Yo-Yo

You're no god, no devil. You're just a cruel, sad, little blue man. So why don't we skip to the part where I end this?

I waited so long to see myself again, still with hope in my eyes.

Yo-Yo

How are you alive?

They killed me, brought me back to take my blood, my DNA, then again and again for years. They revive me when they want, kill me when they don't.

Yo-Yo

What? H-How? How many times?

I held on to the thought of this moment.

Yo-Yo

No. This is wrong.

But this time, when they asked me how our team fought back, I tried to give them as little as I could. But I knew you were close. You and Mack. Mack. He's still alive. Hold him for as long as you can.

Phil Coulson is dying. And you have to let him.

Yo-Yo

Coulson? How? How does he die?

It's already begun. He's sick, and he knows it. We tried to stop it. Loyalty, it cost us the world.

May

Hey, could be worse.

Simmons

True. We could be enslaved by an alien sociopath in a dystopian future.

Mack

Or we could be trapped inside a virtual-reality fascist state.

Fitz

Or stuck at the bottom of the ocean.

Yo-Yo

Or stopping a crazy robot lady.

Simmons

Or falling out of a plane.

Mack

Fighting Daisy's mom.

Coulson

Or fighting Daisy's dad.

May

Or dancing.

Mack

I know what's got you worried.

Yo-Yo

No, it's just...

Mack

"How will I ever find job satisfaction without crushing rocks for no good reason?" Am I right?

Yo-Yo

It's like you can read my mind.

Coulson

Fitz is gonna do the best prosthetics work he's ever done for you, but it may take some time. We don't have the materials he needs here, but we're gonna find a way to get them. In the meantime, I need you to focus on resting and healing.

Yo-Yo

Sitting still isn't my strong suit.

Coulson

I know, but he'll make it worth the wait. See? [Shows her his prosthetic arm] People can't even tell the difference. And, honestly, this one's way more fun. He's always adding...

Yo-Yo

Does it feel the same?

Coulson

Actually, no. It doesn't feel at all, but you get used to it.

Yo-Yo

[To Mack] How are you gonna feel about dating someone with robo-parts?

Mack

Those aren't the parts that matter.

Simmons

Mack!

Mack

What? Oh, no, come on. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the thing I hate about robots is that they have no heart, no soul... those are the parts that matter.

Yo-Yo

Nice save. And sweet. Okay. You can be annoying again.

Yo-Yo

I'm just trying to not lose faith. We're gonna change things.

Simmons

That's the spirit. Oh, I'm just holding onto that thing in case of emergency. Don't beat yourself up while you're trying to heal. Go slow. The steps you take don't need to be big. They just need to take you in the right direction. [Sees Deke, who overheard the last part] Oh. Can we help you with something? What's wrong, Deke? Did you see another ghost from your past?

Deke

No, it wasn't a ghost. I... I just saw you standing there and, uh... How are you? What... I'm... I... And, um... They're... They're... They're back. That... That's what I came to tell you.

Simmons

I've realized we have to think differently. Fitz started to, and he's paying for it. But you can't deny it worked. And you. Mack said you believe you can't die.

Yo-Yo

I know it sounds crazy, Jemma...

Simmons

I don't think it's crazy. I believe it's true.

Yo-Yo

I'm glad someone understands.

Simmons

I don't just mean you.

Yo-Yo

You guys didn't see yourselves in the future.

Simmons

No. Deke is our proof. His mother... was our daughter.

Yo-Yo

Deke...

Simmons

Is our grandson.

Yo-Yo

[To Fitz] Wow. I'm sorry.

Yo-Yo

Radiation poisoning would be a horrible way to find out we can still die. Should we turn back?

Simmons

No need. [referring to some flowers growing nearby] Primula vulgaris... primrose. I used to pick these as a girl. I mean, it's a hardy species, but even it couldn't survive in irradiated soil.

Fitz

[Using a Geiger counter] You'll find more radiation in a dentist's office.

Simmons

Talbot probably just posted these signs to keep out interlopers.

Yo-Yo

They won't scare off Hydra. Let me. [She breaks the lock on the gate with her mechanical arms.]

Fitz

Well, looks like getting your arms chopped off isn't all bad. The... Well... Yeah... It is... obviously, it's bad. It's really bad getting your arms chopped off, but maybe there is a silver lining...

Mack

In the future, we swore... We swore we wouldn't lose ourselves.

Yo-Yo

I know.

Mack

Or lose each other.

Yo-Yo

I know. I love you. I'm doing this for you, but you need to believe me. You need to trust that I know what I'm doing. Please, Mack. You know me. You know I may run away, but I always come back to where I started.

Mack

I know. I just don't know if I'll be here when you do.

May

Look, I can't tell you if what you did [killing Ruby] was right or wrong. That's up to you to decide. But it doesn't just change you. It changes how people see you. And the only thing you can do is make peace with it.

Yo-Yo

I'm trying.

Yo-Yo

I could've warned myself about a lot of things: Ruby, Hale, these aliens; but instead, she told me... Instead, she told me, "Coulson is dying, and we need to let him." I'm sorry, sir. I hated keeping this. I owe you so much. You're my family.

May

No, you're wrong. Robin said Coulson puts the pieces back together. And you're saying that we should've just left him to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere.

Yo-Yo

I have to listen, May. She was me. She's lived through this, through the loop, who knows how many times.

May

Exactly. You don't know. We haven't lost yet, and as far as we know, they can't get in here, and until they do you better believe we're gonna do everything possible to keep him alive.
