Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. · Season 1
Fury. Well, hell. When was the last time anyone saw a tag team wrestling match with four dead guys?
I only see one dead guy in here.
Oh, the power's all on this side of the room, fellas. Phil, I'm surprised you'd try and stop me. Course, I don't blame you, Nick. You haven't seen the big picture. The big bang. The timeless frozen ocean, but Phil here has. We share a bond. We're blood brothers.
You didn't tell me he'd gone this crazy.
He's really stepped it up a notch.
[An injured Garrett puts on the new Deathlok armor.]
There's a reason why they say, "Cut off the head." Now, I'll be unsto- :[Coulson vaporizes Garrett with the 0-8-4 from Peru.]
Hey, guys. I found it. I told you it'd be in here.
Guten Tag boys. Alright, nice and calm, no sudden moves or we'll tie a blasting cap to your—hey Dugan, what's the German word for nuts?
I don't know, Jim. But tie a blasting cap to him, I bet we'll hear it.
These assets are now under the protection of the Strategic Scientific Reserve. They'll be hidden out of sight, indefinitely... as will you.
Cut off one head, two more shall grow in it's place.
Then I guess we'll keep cutting them off.
You've said in your numerous public appearances that you have a facility where you're storing the technology and prisoners captured in the S.H.I.E.L.D. raids, yes?
Yeah, I'm flattered you keep up with my press.
We have to fight on for him, for those we've lost. We have to take risks, so that the sacrifices they made were not made in vain, and then we'll disappear.
No need to think the worst till it shakes your hand and says hello.
Is that another one of your grandma's sayings?
Fortune cookie. Had some kung pao chicken the other night.
Right now we have more important problems. A five-alarm fire otherwise known as Lance Hunter.
Is he...?
Captured. But if he talks, our entire operation's compromised. We'll have to burn the base and evacuate. I know, and we've just retiled the bathrooms.
I know you're the boss and you have to compartmentalize everything, but it's not healthy. You need to loosen up. Try yoga or something.
I tried it, but I'm really not flexible.
I'm really sorry, tough to lose people you care about.
Secret to that - don't get attached.
Tried that. Didn't work. For you either.
You know, you remind me a bit of Izzy. Raw but sharp, you've got skills. Probably could earn you some real money in the private sector.
As a mercenary? Yeah, I don't think so.
We prefer the term private military contractors. Don't knock it, everyone needs an exit strategy eventually.
Not me. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s my life now.
S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't a life, it's just a job, means to an end. Remember that.
Hello?
Who is this?
Agent Coulson, I'm glad you got my message.
Raina, as I live and breathe.
It's been a while since we've spoken.
I'm kind of in the middle of a manhunt; can we make this quick?
Why? You need time to trace this call, don't you? I take it then you haven't tracked down Mr. Creel or the item he stole.
What do you know about that?
I know Hydra's about to get their hands on it.
Congratulations.
Let me be clear - Mr. Creel is working for Hydra. I am not.
Why the breakup? Bad dental plan?
Hydra has only one thing on their minds - world domination, which is so 1945.
What do you want Raina?
It's what I don't want. Which is the obelisk falling into the hands of people who don't understand it.
In the field you need to maintain control, whatever the situation: hostages, bombs about to go off.
So what you're saying is what I just did was puny and sad?
[May checks Skye's heartbeat]
61 beats per minute, consistent the whole time. Not that puny. Speaking of not puny... here, I want you to get used to this, it's a sniper rifle.
[Hunter and Mack come by]
Pardon me, just one quick question, you went to S.H.I.E.L.D. academy, right?
You didn't. If you did, you would've known better than to shoot us.
Apology number 470: I am very sorry Agent May...
Don't be sorry. Just wait.
Uh, we were just having a little wager, so did you...?
Go to the academy? Yeah, no.
[Hunter sighs]
Alright, well have fun with the inventory and remember: Koenig likes them neat.
[Simmons enters her home gun drawn to find Coulson]
Did you think I wouldn't find out?
[Simmons lowers her gun]
Sriracha? Beer? That's all? What kind of diet is that?
Well, I also have tea. And if my diet is such a concern, then perhaps dead-drops shouldn't involve fast food.
We'll revisit that protocol.
A gifted that refuses Hydra is a threat. And threats are taken care of quickly.
[scoffs] That's the difference between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.
And that's why Hydra will win. Because while a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is considering right and wrong, Hydra's already taken the shot.
Why cling to the founding principles of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Freedom. Equality. Individual rights. These principles make mankind a plague on this planet. Think of a forest. It dries up and catches fire with the first spark. Now, mankind would fight that fire, believing every individual plant perfect in its own individual way. But it's the fire that's perfect. Essential. Now more magnificent plant species, like the giant sequoia, their seeds need the heat of that fire to crack open and be born. To literally rise from the ashes. And they will live for a thousand years. You don't need to keep burning. Rise. Be born.
