TV show quotes
You think we're gonna find something out there? Maybe a way back?
I don't know. Maybe there is no way back.
That doesn't sound like you.
Just managing expectations.
You're being fatalistic.
Look, you know I'm not big on destiny, but maybe our destiny's here, in this time, helping these people.
It's not like I don't want to help. I do. But after that, I'm going home. I spent weeks in the Framework, strapped to a board, thinking I was Hydra. I've earned a night in my own bed.
Did you set our little healer up to fail because I think she's pretty? Or did you really think she'd succeed? You want to see me happy. Then tell me, what does Jemma have that makes her so different, makes her capable to succeed in this?
Compassion.
Where I come from, we protect each other.
You are storming the castle. Any plan how you're gonna do that alive? [No answer] That's what I thought.
This is what I do. My friend's life is on the line, so I'll figure something out.
Oh, just all in, totally blind, huh? It's a stupid way to play, even if you have a good hand. You should be playing the long game.
The long game?
Yes. I can make it so that you could waltz down there with an invitation from the big man, but that takes serious time. It takes finesse.
You were right. It's a rare occasion that I am surprised, but count this among them.
I told you she'd find her way down here. And demonstrating her powers, no less. That right there is a weapon of mass destruction, tied up in one pretty, little package, all for you. We can talk about price later, but I expect that you'll be more than fair.
So, this is Quake, Destroyer of Worlds. How is it possible that she's here?
The important thing is... she's yours.
I'll kill you. I swear.
Sorry, sweetheart. I'm just playing the long game.
We do this, demonstrate our powers, and go with whomever buys us because our families get compensated once we're gone.
You mean they get paid to sell you.
I mean they have a better shot at survival. Survival is everything.
This is insane.
This is life. Otherwise, our families could pay the price. You have people you care about I heard that much. If you care about them, I suggest you play the game. And if they pit us against each other, I suggest you try to win. 'Cause I will.
We need to talk.
"Say, Deke. How you doing? You look really good. Can we have a word?" See? It's not that hard. I was coming to find you guys, anyway, 'cause I haven't seen you in a little while.
I was hoping Daisy was with you. Last we heard, she was looking for you.
Yeah. She found me. I was just with her a couple hours ago. And it's it's-it's all good. I-I helped her onto a lower medical floor. It's where we think your other friend is.
She never came back or checked in.
She said something about no further contact spy stuff. How'd she put it? "Silent mode"?
Going dark.
Yeah. That. And I told her that you'd wonder, and she said, "Get out of my way. This is what I do. My friend's life is on the line. I'll figure something out."
Yeah. That sounds like Daisy.
Why would you lie about Daisy unless you sold her out?
Okay, well, this is probably the part where I should explain.
No. This is the part where May breaks your face. You explaining, kind of secondary.
Oh, please. That wasn't the first time you went for a payday. You weren't out to save lives. You made a profit.
The two aren't mutually exclusive.
When Hope died, the real Hope, she never came home, and, still, it took me weeks before I could walk into her nursery and take everything away, but I did it eventually.
It must have been hard.
But this Hope, my Hope in the Framework, she, uh... This is harder. I miss her so much. It's so much worse. Imagine that. I survived the pain of losing my real child, but I can't get over the pain of losing a fake one, so what kind of a father does that make me? Maybe Gunner was right about me. Maybe I really am already lost. I...
Hey. Hope might not have been real, but your love for her was. And that makes you a great father and a good man.
[Ghost Rider's] the strangest thing I've ever heard. Except for the sexy robot that you made that became human and wanted you to stick the old...
Please.
...floppy into her love drive.
Can we not talk about this, please?
Copy that. Message received. Well, my life has been perfectly boring by comparison. Mercenary work, working with unscrupulous dirtbags like Rusty.
How are things with Bobbi?
Good. Yeah. We're 100% compatible... 50% of the time. Nearly got married again, until the ninjas showed up.
So... you are together?
Together forever, just... doing our own thing. Distance is our savior. How about you and Simmons? Did you find a way to work it out?
Distance is our curse.
So... you and Simmons?
Yeah. Yeah, we're together now. Everyone knows. Even looked for a place together.
Oh, congrats, mate. I remember when you couldn't even admit that you liked her.
Maybe it should have stayed that way. Everything that keeps happening to us does seem like the universe doesn't want us to be together.
The universe doesn't want or care about anything. And even if it did, why wouldn't it want you to be together? You two are so perfect for each other, it makes everyone a little bit nauseous.
Maybe it's trying to protect her.
From what?
From me. From what I was in the Framework... 'cause that came from inside me. That... wasn't programming.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Careful. These are extremely volatile and unpredictable. Screw up once... you could lose a limb.
Once we do this, that's it, no turning back.
Let's do it.
Okay. Release the ferrets.
Brings back memories. We had some good times back in the day, in between all the bad times and being shot at and chased and attacked by monsters.
Yeah. This place, the base, always felt like home. Like family.
Ah, don't worry. You'll be together again soon.
You're just saying that.
Yeah, of course I am. They're stuck 70-odd years in the future, and our world's about to end. The odds, my friend, are not in your favor.
Are they ever?
[Fitz is inside a cryo-freeze chamber]
I love you.
I know.
Jemma, it's me. Don't turn around. Just play it cool. I've missed you so much. You know, I spent six months locked up in an off-the-books military prison—not to mention 80 years frozen in space—all just hoping to find you, and here you are. You know, I realized something. The universe can't stop us. 'Cause we've crossed galaxies. We've traveled through time. We've survived the bottom of the Atlantic just so we could be together. Now, a love like that, that's stronger than any curse. And you and I, we are unstoppable together. I, I don't want to live another day without you. So, Jemma Simmons, will you marry me?
[Simmons does not notice him.]
