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

No single agent is that important.

The worst thing you can do right now is to underestimate Hydra. They hide in plain sight. They earn our trust, our sympathy. They make us like them. And when you hesitate, they strike. If we're to survive, we must learn to strike first.

I need a two man team to sneak over the border, find the device, and disarm it within the next 48 hours. And you have two people who fit my bill.

May

Ready to go.

Ward

I was in Georgia when the incursion occurred. I still have contacts on the other side of the border.

And you'll need them. But, we don't have specs on the device, so I need someone on your team who can recognize and dismantle it on sight.

Ward

...Do you mean...

Coulson

I think she does...

Fitz

I found a localized EMP, plus a few other party favors. [The door closes when the cart's halfway through] Oh, come on. What the... Open. It's stuck. [Coulson, Ward, and May arrive] The cart's stuck. [Fitz pulls open the door and turns back to the front of the cart] That's unbelieveable. [The door closes again] WHAT THE HELL?! Who designed this?! In the Hub, of all places! [He shoves the cart out the door, which closes on him.] Oh, that's... [Door closes, cutting off his voice. But he can be seen saying "fantastic".]

Ward

...Seriously?

You yourself have designed dozens of operations like this. You know how this works.

Coulson

Usually with an extraction plan.

Barton. Romanoff. They never have an extraction plan.

Coulson

They know that going in.

The plan was flawed from the start.

Come on, Vic. The plan was solid.

We have an agent down because we weren't prepared.

Blake knew the risks.

And don't call me "Vic." - It's condescending.

You got something to say, Agent Shaw?

Shaw

Apologies, ma'am. I'm just having a hard time killing the people we once called friends.

Once that encoded transmission went out, everything changed. You understand that, don't you? We swore allegiance to each other. And today, that loyalty will be tested. If you waver you die.
