The Things We Bury (2014)

Clark Gregg: Phil Coulson

Quotes 

• Phil Coulson : [Coming up to Skye and Trip, who are readying their weapons]  What are we gonna do, storm Oahu?

  Skye : We don't know yet.

  Phil Coulson : Ditch the guns. Take this.

  [Hands her what appears to be a watch] 

  Skye : What is it?

  Phil Coulson : It's a watch. Deliver it to Cam, the owner of the Kahananui repair shop. Here. It'll need the following inscription... "Dearest Darren, I count the seconds we're apart. Love, your island flower." You got that?

  Skye : "Island flower"... got it. Anything else?

  Phil Coulson : If it starts to leak any fluids, drop it, run.

  Skye : This does not sound like a watch.

  Phil Coulson : [Hands Trip a button]  Take this to the Ka Pua dry-cleaner on Makaimoimo street.

  Antoine Triplett : Maka-what, now?

  Phil Coulson : Not the one on Hookelewaa.

  Antoine Triplett : Am I good with this in my pocket?

  Phil Coulson : That depends. You ever want kids?

• Phil Coulson : Fitz, how you coming with the transceiver patch?

  Leo Fitz : I've got it down to 7 minutes, 20 seconds.

  Phil Coulson : That's not good enough.

  Leo Fitz : No, that's with my bad hand. With both, I can do it, definitely.

• Skye : You didn't want to crack him yourself?

  Phil Coulson : Bobbi is as good as they come. My job now is to keep an eye on the big picture.

  Skye : And you found something to chase.

  Phil Coulson : Fury. I've been thinking a lot about what made him such a good director. His communication skills - flawed. But he could see five steps ahead, which, for a one-eyed man, is impressive.

  Skye : He knew his enemies.

  Phil Coulson : And for better or worse, he could think like them. Whitehall has a weapon that's unpredictable, but he's not. I don't want to be in a footrace to stop him. I want to be waiting at the finish line.

• Calvin Zabo : [Talking about Whitehall]  He thinks the Diviner is just a weapon, he has no idea of its true power, of what's inside. Oh, there's something inside.

  Phil Coulson : What are we talking about? Tesseract level power?

  Calvin Zabo : Sure. I don't know what that is.
