Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.2013

Grant Ward:
Director Fury faked your death - to motivate the Avengers.

Maria Hill:
Well, the death of a common ally is a particulary team builder.

Phil Coulson:
Plus, it wasn't much of a stretch. I stopped breathing for about 40 seconds.

Maria Hill:
Eight. It gets longer every time you tell it.

Phil Coulson:
Yeah, well, you get shanked by the Asgardian Mussolini, you can tell it your way. I was looking at the big white light, and it felt a lot longer than eight seconds.

Grant Ward:
Do they know? The Avengers - that Fury played them?

Maria Hill:
They're not Level Seven.

Phil Coulson:
Got of the I.C.U., Fury stuck me in a grass shack in Tahiti. Rough gig. Mai Tais, Travis McGee novels, and a physical therapist whose command of English was... irrelevant.
