Phil Coulson: [Regarding "Tahiti"] It's a magical place.
Maria Hill: What does S.H.I.E.L.D. stand for, Agent Ward?
Grant Ward: Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.
Maria Hill: And what does that mean to you?
Grant Ward: It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out "S.H.I.E.L.D." It means we're the line between the world
and the much weirder world. We protect people from news they aren't ready to hear. And when we can't do that, we keep them safe.
Skye: Sometimes the world's greatest miracles happen by accident.
Hive: The world fears our kind of power because not everyone has it. Only billionaires can build iron suits. Only the military can make super soldiers, which can only lead to a war of its own. Whereas I plan to apply a more... collectivist philosophy.
