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

Hive

I thought it was time.

Time for what?

Hive

To reveal my true self.

Hive

The world fears our kind of power because not everyone has it. Only billionaires can build iron suits. Only the military can make super soldiers, which can only lead to a war of its own. Whereas I plan to apply a more... collectivist philosophy.

Dr. Holden Radcliffe

Does, uh... Does that mean we can get started?

Daisy

Hey.

Hive

Sorry. Having trouble; my memories. You were in that one.

Daisy

Do you have any idea what you did to me?

Hive

Yes. I remember. You're in pain.

Daisy

[getting down on her knees] Please... take me back.

Hive

You know, killing me won't make the pain go away. Or will it? I can't remember.

Daisy

I don't want you to die. I want you to suffer.

Coulson

I'm just here to offer a helping hand. Pun absolutely intended.

Hive

You have given me exactly what I need to defeat them, your body. I'll shed this host and take you, and march down to announce to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that I finally succeeded in defeating the great Alveus. The day is won. No need to remain concealed in the shadows.

Coulson

Yeah, you sound just like me.

Hive

Oh I will. Once I'm in that head of yours. I can't wait. We're two sides of the same coin Coulson. Commanders leading soldiers.

Coulson

The only difference is when you give an order, your followers have no choice but to obey, but when I gave my team the order to stay behind they just wouldn't listen. They got out, right before docking was complete, climbed along the top of the fuselage to a maintenance hatch. I'm just a distraction. [Hive tries to grab Coulson and discovers he's a hologram] I said I was willing to die sure, but I certainly don't want to. Picked up this little move from my misguided buddy Blake, figured I could get an egomaniac who'd been alone for a thousand years to chat. Plus, I always wanted to do this: [bows forward] "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."
