Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. · Season 1, Episode 15

LMD May and LMD Coulson in “Unfinished Business”

LMLMD May

[looking out the window at the snow falling] I have so many memories of snow. My first time ice-skating on my neighbor's pond. A month stationed near the French Alps. But the truth is, this is the first time I've seen it.

LCLMD Coulson

My phantom limb used to ache in cold weather. But now... I don't feel that pain. I haven't felt this good in years.

LMLMD May

What are you saying? [realizes Coulson's an LMD] No, oh God, no. What did Radcliffe do?

LCLMD Coulson

May, it's okay.

LMLMD May

This is why I'm locked up in here.

LCLMD Coulson

Hey...

LMLMD May

You're not afraid of what I'll do.

LCLMD Coulson

It's okay.

LMLMD May

You're afraid that they'll discover you!

LCLMD Coulson

We can help them, too. May, this is a good thing. This is a very good thing.

LMLMD May

How can you possibly think that?!

LCLMD Coulson

I get it. My programming is different than yours. You had to discover that your body had been replaced. You must've felt blindsided.

LMLMD May

Like reality was crashing down.

LCLMD Coulson

Whereas I still have my mind but know exactly what I am. And more importantly, I understand a basic truth that you don't realize yet.

LMLMD May

And what's that?

LCLMD Coulson

That our bodies don't matter. Radcliffe built a world, a world exactly like this one. Every molecular detail the same, just... with a little less hurt for each of us.

LMLMD May

What do you mean, "hurt"?

LCLMD Coulson

Imagine if your greatest regret could be wiped away. Do you know what that would be?

LMLMD May

I do. And you?

LCLMD Coulson

I sometimes wonder what it would've been like [picks up his S.H.I.E.L.D. badge] if I'd never signed up. All the loss, the grief. All my regrets are piled up after that. Could've lived like a civilian, you know? The simple life. Now we can have that.
