Simmons: I’m going to prove I can’t be killed.
Mack: What, you too, Simmons? Do you know how all of this sounds?
Simmons: Like science?
Mack: No. Sounds like you’re detached from reality.

You know, you die more than anybody I’ve ever met.

Talbot [to Coulson]

Of all the blindfolds I’ve forcibly worn, that was one of the nicest.

Coulson

Coulson: Not my first rodeo, so I might’ve already figured out a *little* about what’s going on here. You’ve got the gravitonium and the total disregard for human safety, check. You’ve got Ivan Drago and Crusher Creel on the payroll, check! And then there’s you, rogue general operating with zero oversight. Add it all up, it just doesn’t feel like an Air Force operation.
Hale: It’s not. It’s Hydra.
Coulson: I thought we stomped you out.
Hale: Yes. Just as you were stomped out. And yet, here we are in the same room. I’d like to tell you my story. And then you’ll know it’s time.
Coulson: Time for what?
Hale: It’s time for SHIELD and Hydra to finally unite.

Young Hale: You want me to be…
Daniel Whitehall: Artificially inseminated, yes. It’s quite exciting. You should be honored!

Hale: I see you’ve met my daughter.
Talbot: Crossfit Tinkerbell’s your daughter?

Hale: You stand by an eagle on a shield, even after you saw Daisy Johnson shoot you in the head, point blank.
Talbot: That wasn’t Daisy! I know you think I’ve lost my onions! But I’ve got a feeling it was one of Anton Ivanov’s tin cans! Am I wrong?

You filthy calamari Mata Hari.

Talbot [to Hale]

I would rather *die* on my two legs than slither on eight with *you*.

Talbot

Coulson: Bad idea.
Hale: You don’t even know what it does.
Coulson: I don’t need to. It’s got that weird alien writing on the side.

The idea is to put your ninja daughter into that chamber?! This is gonna be a long conversation. Cap was selected for his *heart*, not cutting off hands.

Coulson

She [Daisy] would have the power to level alien armies, blow their ships apart. She would be worthy of Whitehall’s codename for the project. ‘Destroyer of Worlds.’

Hale

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

Mack: What’s going on?!
Coulson [gestures at an unconscious Virgil]: I was about to find out!
Mack: Oh, my bad! I see a dirty-looking dude hovering over you with a crazy-looking gun, I acted on impulse!

Virgil: You’re here. Agent Coulson of SHIELD. You’ve come to save us!
Coulson: Just to clarify, where is “here,” who is “us,” and from what?!
