Lincoln Campbell quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lincoln

Our gifts don't have to be terrifying. They're a part of us. I felt lost before I came here, too. Looking for answers in the all the wrong places. But we're connected to something bigger and older than than we could have ever imagined, something extraordinary. Don't walk away from it.

Lincoln Campbell

Gordon's the only one who knows where we are, and he's the only way in or out. It keeps us secret and safe from the outside world.

Skye

Or it keeps us prisoners.

Lincoln

You're not very trusting, are you?

Skye

I woke up naked on a table in a place no one can even point to on a map, so call me crazy.

Lincoln

You know it's really impressive for Jiaying to take anyone under her wing.

Skye

Yeah?

Lincoln

Yeah.

Skye

I like her. I just... I can't... What's her role here?

Lincoln

Her role is, in charge. So really she must like you.

Skye

If she's in charge, how often does she train people?

Lincoln

Since I've been here... let me see... never.

Raina

I dream of Skye and her father at dinner. A bouquet of daisies. And she's so happy.

Lincoln

It's not a dream.

Lincoln

What are you made of?

Deathlok

Whoever you are, you don't want to do this. I'm a friend of Skye's.

Lincoln

Sure. And I'm the Hulk.

Lincoln

You never should have come for me.

Skye

I had to, Jiaying wouldn't allow it if I...

Lincoln

There's a reason for that. The only thing that's kept us safe all these years is that we were a secret. Now S.H.I.E.L.D. knows we exist, and they won't stop until they find Afterlife.

Lincoln

The indexing? They just asked a lot of questions. I'm sure you guys already have my blood from when I was out, right?

Coulson

It's protocol.

Lincoln

Hydra said the same thing.

Lincoln

Safe as houses.

Daisy

What?

Lincoln

It's an expression, people say that.

Daisy

Sure. And someday you can tell me how you survived the Dust Bowl and the Hoover Administration, Grandpa.

Lincoln

That's an ugly side of you, Daisy.

Coulson

Got to admit this time stuff's always been a little over my head. Like, in Terminator. If John Connor's alive and able to send his friend back in time to save his Mom to make sure he's born, doesn't that mean he doesn't have to?

Lincoln

I... uh... I never saw the original Terminator.

Coulson

You're off the team.

Lincoln

Don't worry about me, sir, worry about yourself.

Coulson

Because Daisy saw me shoot her?

Lincoln

Because I'd kill you if you did.

Well well well, if it isn't the hothead who tried to kill my bodyguard.

Lincoln

What's he doing in here? I thought this was a germ-free zone.

Coulson

I see you two remember each other.

Daisy

[crying] You can't just die for me like this. It's... it's wrong!

Lincoln

I don't know, saving the girl I love and the world at the same time? Feels pretty right to me.
