[Arguing]
You know, you hurt me just as much as I hurt you. I was dying on the inside when you left, abandoned me after my brain injury.
Hey, that is not fair.
And then you get taken away by some rock, only to fall in love with some bloody astronaut...
I was alone on a desert planet.
...who turned out to be Hive, by the way. Oh, and also, are we sure that that happened after you slept with him?
Oh, my God.
Because, hey, the jury's still out on that one.
Oh, you want to go there? At least he was a person! You built a robot girlfriend...
Well, that's bending the truth.
...and, left to your own devices, turned into a Nazi dictator. Wait, is that is that bending the truth? No! No, it's not!
Yeah, and I suppose you’re the one that keeping me together.
It would seem so. Yes.
Holier than thou, proving my point!
Because you want to build everything your brain comes up with, so you can couch it in “helping mankind, helping friends.” But the Framework revealed the truth… it’s all ego.
Oh, ego?
Yeah.
I would love to deal with ego.
Would you?
Guess why?
Why?
‘Cause your id’s out there chewing Mack’s head off.
Oh, really? [Simmons looks outside the containment pod window]
We’re the same, Jemma. You just like to repress your bad thoughts and pretend that it’s not happening. Y-Your ego likes to pretend you’re Jane Goodall, saving helpless, little creatures like me.
