Time for you to work your magic, dear.
I don't perform magic, doctor. Magic just means deception.
Yeah, I just meant it's time to start connecting the power cells. I really need to update your cache of common vernacular.

Agent Coulson... you should be dead.
I get that a lot. Never gets old, though. It means I'm still here.
How? I watched you get vaporized.
Just a fact that you're asking "How?" shows you how little about what happened... or what's about to.
I'm not sure if that's an insult or a threat. Either way - not a good idea.
First of all, that thing is not a she. It's a damn robot. And second of all, what is the matter with you two chuckleheads? Have either one of you seen a movie in the last thirty years? The robots always attack.
Well, technically speaking AIDA's not a robot, she's an android.
That's true.
Android, robot, it doesn't matter what you call them, the end results always the same. They rise up against their human overlords and go kill-crazy!
You make a fair, if intense, point.
[Angrily] I never carry a weapon.
[Angrily] You are the weapon. The public was turning against you. Now? They look up to you. You're welcome.
We're a team now, and I have this saying...
I read the motivational poster in the bathroom.
[after being shot] I didn't like feeling pain, so I fixed that.
AIDA, whatever you're doing, you've gotta stop.
Why would you want to hurt me Leopold? I was your shield. [throws Fitz through a window into the next room]
Remember that zipline we built out here with Raj?
I'm sorry Vijay.
Sorry? Why? 'Cause I broke my arm falling off it? Wasn't your fault.
[Watchdogs appear pointing guns towards Vijay]
Wait, what's going on? What is this?
You and I were both there when the Chitauri killed mum. Aliens invading our world, everything changed that day.
What are you doing?
Inhuman epidemic was the next phase. The aliens are now here, contaminating us, changing us to be like them. Which is why we made each other a promise.
No, no Ellen, no.
That if either of us was ever infected by the alien plague, it would be up to the other to do the right thing.
[Watchdog member points gun at Vijay at point-blank range]
I'm not an Inhuman! I'm your brother.
Whatever came out of that cocoon is no brother of mine.
Look at me! Ellen, please. Just look at me! I heard your voice when I was inside, telling me to fight. That's why I was in there for so long. I was fighting.
It's only wishful thinking.
No, it wasn't! Do you see any scarring or any special abilities? That's because it didn't change me. I'm the same person I've always been. I beat it, just like you said I could. I'm your brother. The same one who followed you around when we were kids. I've always looked up to you, always loved you. Please, don't give up on me now. Nothing's changed, I swear. You have to trust me. Trust me! This is not what mum would want.
Let him go!
Radcliffe built a humanoid robot that's about to attack the base.
Why would he do that? Has he watched no American movies from the eighties? Robots always attack.
I've been saying that all day.
Smart people are stupid.
Alright, gear up. The robot apocalypse is finally here.
If I terminate anyone else for your protection, I will dispose of the body more discreetly.
No! Don't terminate anyone.
S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't leave a man behind.
You really think this is our best move?
You know the saying - if a jet crashes in the woods and there's no one to hear it, stick to the guy with super strength.
What happened? She was supposed to be in a relaxing simulation!
She was in a day spa, getting a hot stone massage.
How hot did you make the stones?
Agent May, with the possible exception of my mother, you are the single most intimidating woman I have ever met.
I believe that Inhumans deserve the same rights as anyone else in this country.
With Nadeer and her staff in the meeting we have an opportunity.
What opportunity? I wasn't briefed on any opportunity.
While Nadeer's in with Daisy, Yo-Yo and I will get into her office and plant surveillance.
We can finally keep an eye on her, figure out her next move.
What? No! No! No, there'll be no planting, no I'ing, no Yo-Yo'ing. S.H.I.E.L.D. is now legitimate. We have to remain above reproach.
You mean like juicing our directors so we can pretend to be Inhuman? [Talbot shakes his head] Look, you were reacting to the situation we had, you put Jeffrey in place, I understand. But we're S.H.I.E.L.D., we have to be proactive.
This is politics, Phil. Which means politicians. They are a festering cesspool of toxic waste fires. You swim in those waters, you could get pulled under.
You and the director can handle it, we'll handle the rest.
How you holding up? It's okay to be nervous you know.
Me? Nah, I don't get nervous anymore.
Okay. Well, I'm just saying if you are...
I mean it's not like my comfort zone, but I'm good. I'll just tell the truth, I'm good at that. You?
You don't talk much about your childhood, do you? The foster homes? Bouncing around. I imagine a lot of times you felt you had to perform to convince people to like you.
Only at the places I wanted to stay. Why are you asking?
Because if you enter every room thinking you have to do a song and dance, eventually everything becomes a performance. And believe me, I know how it feels putting on an act full-time.
Yeah, you do, don't you?
Anyway, I know it's not an act with you. Coulson's been saying since day one that you're the real deal, and I've learned to trust his read on people. So...
He believed in me before I believed in myself. You too, you know. That's why he still wants you with us. He keeps saying you're trying to do the right thing.
