May: Is this [Coulson’s impending death] why we took a step back?
Coulson: The last thing you need is to waste your time on another lost cause.
May: Who *I* waste my time on is for me to decide. It’s not like you to just roll over. There has to be a way out of this.
Coulson: I’ve come to terms with it. I got a second chance. I made a difference in a few people’s lives. I don’t want to be greedy. It’s time to make space for somebody else.
May [realizing]: For Daisy.
Coulson: I won’t be around forever. And, despite appearances to the contrary, neither will you. We need fresh blood to lead the team.
May: It’s more than a team, and you know it. None of us are giving up on you.
Coulson: Well, great. Because I have every intention of walking out of that basement. Just because I made peace with dying doesn’t mean I’m in a hurry. Now, do you want to help me get into this gear Fitz has for me? It’s super sexy.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5 Episode 12 Quotes

Coulson: So you admit that you’re not real, that I created you in my head.
Mike Peterson: Of course. But you know something deeper. You’re here to face it.
Coulson: Face my fear.
Mike Peterson: How am I your fear, Phil? No. I mean, face *facts*.
Coulson: What “facts”?
Mike Peterson: That this is *all* in your head.
Coulson: Are you telling me that I’m still in TAHITI?
Mike Peterson: Coulson, I’m telling you you’ve never *been* to TAHITI. Or Malta, Puerto Rico, or outer space, or the Framework, or the future. You’re on the table, Coulson. Code Blue.

Mike Peterson: What makes more sense? You tell me. That you were brought back from the dead after many days, your mind programmed with false memories, a world with alternate realities and rocks that tear holes in space-time? Or that your brain is being stimulated with electricity to revive it, and your consciousness is trying to make sense of random synapses firing off in your brain?
Coulson: That’s not true.
Mike Peterson: You know it’s true. Loki ran a scepter through your heart, and we are trying desperately to bring you back. But it isn’t working.
