Nick Fury Quotes

Nick Fury: Before it was torn apart, S.H.I.E.L.D. was a lot of moving parts. But guys like you were the heart. Now... You'll be the head. (gives Coulson a cube)

Phil Coulson: What is it?

Nick Fury: A toolbox. To help you build it back up.

Phil Coulson: You want me to start over? Rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Nick Fury: From scratch. Take your time. And do it right.

Nick Fury: I went to great pains to make sure you didn't die the first time.

Phil Coulson: Well, now's probably not the best time, but I'd like to have a lengthy conversation with you about that. It might get loud.

Nick Fury: And I owe you that, but right now, we owe Garrett a punch in the teeth. Wouldn't you say?

Nick Fury: Really? Really, Coulson? Six days? It only took you six days to take a completely renovated piece of state-of-the-an machinery, and turn it into scrap?

Phil Coulson: My team acted with my authority.

Nick Fury: Don't talk to me about authority. Do you know how much this plane cost? It's got a bar. A really nice one. Talking to me about authority. You know, I have the authority to downgrade your ass to a Winnebago.

Phil Coulson: I'm aware of that, sir.

Nick Fury: Well, I want it fixed just like you found it. So don't have Fitz-Simmons going making modifications like a damn fish tank.

Phil Coulson: Yes, sir.

(After Fury leaves...)

Phil Coulson: Yeah, we're gonna have to kill the fish tank.
