• Phil Coulson : Skye, please, tell me something good.

  Skye : We have Internet.

  Phil Coulson : Yay. And, boy, have I lowered my expectations.

• Phil Coulson : There's got to be something here! This means something! This has to mean something. The world needs us! HYDRA is out there. We cannot let them win! We cannot let them define us! Do you understand that? We are not agents of nothing, we are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and that still carries weight! It has to carry weight. After everything we've been through, that carries weight!

• Phil Coulson : I swore an oath, we all did, to serve when everything else fails, to be humanity's last line of defense, to be the shield.

• Phil Coulson : What's with the windows?

  Eric Koenig : Supposed to make the isolation more bearable. Every day of the week, different view. Wednesday's pretty terrific if you like topless beaches.

• Phil Coulson : Find everything you can on our team - all personal records, photos, anything that proves we exist - then erase it.

  Skye : Uh, that's kind of the nuclear option.

  Phil Coulson : It's *our* only option. Every government agency in the world will be on our ass. We need to vanish.

  Skye : Okay. But... once that's done, it can't be undone. We'll be ghosts. Not agents of S.H.I.E.l.D., just agents of... nothing.

• Melinda May : You okay?

  Phil Coulson : Tell you what - let's skip the part where you act concerned about my well-being. What is it you want?

• Phil Coulson : This means something. This has to mean something. The world need needs us. Hydra is out there. We cannot let them win, we cannot let them define us. Do you understand that. We are not Agents of Nothing, we are Agents of Shield, and that still carries weight!

• Phil Coulson : [to May]  I'm not going to hand over my weapon. You wanna try to take it from me?... Good. Now get out of my office.
