Surprise muse swept in, took a seat and told me it was time, who am I to argue?

I am not starting this out 'with all due respect,' because frankly you haven’t earned that yet. It’s not an insult, it’s a fact. I work in facts.

Fact is it’s my job, my responsibility to lead these people, to direct them as a unit. I’m not sure you are capable of bringing that to the table, and there is zero percent margin for error here. You screw this up and there’s a lot more than just embarrassment. You hear me? Am I being clear enough?

I catch even a whiff of this going south and I pull the plug myself, understand?

Good.

Now get me Hill or Coulson, I need a run down on things and I need it three days ago.

Glad to see you put that much stock in us, Nick.

By the way, I thought I didn't qualify for the whole Avengers thing.

I don't gamble with the fate of the planet. Now you'll forgive me if that makes me a bad man, but I think seven billion people are a little more important than making sure you feel fairly treated.

You don't, but I work with what I have...sort of like a man in a cave in the desert.
