Malick and Coulson in “Unfinished Business”

I believed that I could resurrect a god. But instead, I freed the Devil.

Coulson

Only technically. I mean, all the ancient Satanic creation myths, they were based on him, which you knew.

The Devil promises everything and then lets you destroy your own world. I sacrificed my brother to him. Still, he took my daughter. And that image... of her body lying on that floor... I failed her. What else matters?

Coulson

What you do next matters.

[chuckles] Are you trying to sell me on the idea that I can set everything right?

Coulson

I'm trying to sell you on revenge. I have an image, too, of a body on the floor... Rosalind Price. Love turned to rage in that moment. So I hunted down and murdered Grant Ward. Not to serve any good. Not to serve any belief. I wanted revenge. I wanted to feel him die. That's the sin that gave your Devil new life.

To come and take everything we love.

Coulson

Let it turn into rage. Tell me how to stop him.

This god has outlived...

Coulson

I've met gods. Gods bleed.

I never saw my last rodeo being with S.H.I.E.L.D... What would you like to know?

Coulson

Start with everything.
