Enoch quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Deke

Stand back. There's gonna be a big surge of electricity. Electricity's dangerous.

Do I look like a Neanderthal to you?

Enoch

I spent time with a tribe of Neanderthals. Agent Sousa does not resemble one. He lacks the characteristic brow ridges.

Daisy

Does it hurt?

Enoch

It does, a bit. But it's not the physical pain that troubles me. I am acutely aware that in my thousands of years observing humans, I never used to feel lonely. I have been alone many times. To be candid, I preferred it. But it wasn't until I met this particular team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that being alone meant... feeling lonely. And I don't care for it. So, I am feeling, as you might expect, some anxiety now.

You don't have to. You're not alone. Daisy and I will stay with you right up to the end.

Enoch

That is very kind of you. But... it's that last part, isn't it? You can stay with me up to the end, but you can't come with me at the end. I will have to leave you. And I will have to do that alone. And I can't help wondering... when that happens... will I feel lonely?

I can say with some authority that you're not wrong. Dying is lonely. But the feeling is temporary... at least for the person dying. The ones who are left behind... less so. I guess that's the one advantage to going first.

Enoch

Yes. It's different, watching your friends go before you, isn't it? I have been through that, as well. It can be harder to stay than to leave. I'm sorry, Philip J. Coulson.

Daisy

Enoch, the team will carry on the mission. We will survive because of you. Thank you.

Enoch

You are most welcome. But, Agent Johnson, while your friends will indeed survive, the team will not.

Daisy

What do you mean?

Enoch

I have seen the future. Carry on this mission and cherish it, for it will be your last mission together.

Daisy

It... That's... That's not possible. I-I... Enoch, this is my family.

Enoch

Of course. Yet this is the nature of family, isn't it? I have seen it countless times on countless worlds. People arrive, so we celebrate, and people leave us, so we grieve. We do what we can with the time in between, but the cycle is always there. No one escapes it. Not even me.

Which means you're not alone. You're a part of that cycle.

Daisy

Like every other living thing.

Enoch

Fitz... He was my best friend.

Daisy

And you were a good friend to Fitz. You were a good friend to all of us.

Enoch

As I have always...
