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

Melinda May:
Fury knew you'd want me to join up, asked me to keep an eye on you.

Phil Coulson:
Looking for what?

Melinda May:
Signs of physical or mental deterioration, to keep him updated. It's that simple.

Phil Coulson:
Did you know about Tahiti? How could you do that to me? After all we've been through, the years we spent together in ops...

Melinda May:
He said it was essential you couldn't know.

Phil Coulson:
The time I spent sifting through ashes with you in Bahrain? I gave you a second chance when I assembled this team...

Melinda May:
I assembled this team.

Phil Coulson:
What?

Melinda May:
I evaluated what was needed, and I gave the assessment to Fury, and he gave you parameters for your unit.

Phil Coulson:
What was needed, May?

Melinda May:
Someone who could repair your body, a technician who could reprogram your brain, and a specialist to help me put you down if it had to be done. But I didn't do it for Fury. I did it for you, to protect you! I - You mean a lot to me. A lot. To hear you were dead... you may not believe me, but that's the truth. And I have nothing to do with the clairvoyant or this Hydra threat we're up against. Hopefully this helps prove that.

Phil Coulson:
I want to believe you... But you've used that against me this whole time.
