Quotes 

• Jeffrey Mace : S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't leave a man behind.

  Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie : You really think this is our best move?

  Phil Coulson : You know the saying - if a jet crashes in the woods and there's no one to hear it, stick to the guy with super strength.

• Jeffrey Mace : After the explosion, everything was... chaos. People were screaming. I got smoke in my eyes. I wanted to get to safety. And... I tripped. I didn't even know she was there. Someone snapped a picture.

  Phil Coulson : So you just went with it.

  Jeffrey Mace : I tried to deflect. Everyone thought I was being modest. But they were treating me like the man I always wanted to be. Few months later, Talbot came to me with an offer. I thought I could be the face to end Inhuman prejudice.

  Phil Coulson : And you wanted to help.

  Jeffrey Mace : I thought I could. I believe... that Inhumans deserve the same rights as anyone else in this country. I'll call a press conference, resign, reinstate you as director.

  Phil Coulson : [Mace starts to leave]  You're not going anywhere.

  Jeffrey Mace : Excuse me?

  Phil Coulson : S.H.I.E.L.D. still needs a face. Sure, you lied, but you were good at it. Even with a gun pointed at you, and that's not nothing.

  Jeffrey Mace : So... so what do you... what do you want me to do?

  Phil Coulson : Same thing you've been doing. Defend S.H.I.E.L.D. to the public, play the hero. Keep the title, handle the politics; I never loved that part, anyway. But when it comes to operations, make no mistake: from now on, I'm calling the shots.

• Phil Coulson : They're about to breach that door. How's your aim?

  Jeffrey Mace : Talbot ran me through some basic training when I got this job, but I didn't think I'd did it, with the super strength and all.

  Phil Coulson : No better time to practice than when your life depends on it.

• Phil Coulson : You're not going anywhere.

  Jeffrey Mace : Excuse me?

  Phil Coulson : SHIELD still needs a face. Sure, you lied, but you were good at it, even with a gun pointed at you, and that's not nothing.
