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

Melinda May:
You're the man in charge, but I'm in charge of you, remember? I had two rules.

Phil Coulson:
Avoid field operations...

Melinda May:
...And check in with me every few days. It's been two weeks.

Phil Coulson:
And I'm flying back out tonight. I have to focus on recruitment. It's starting to wear me down.

Melinda May:
The hours?

Phil Coulson:
The numbers. Between the traitors, military detainees, and the sell-outs in the private sector, the people who could possibly be considered loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D. is not impressive. And they're scattered all over the damn globe.

Melinda May:
Well, you have no choice but to meet them face-to-face, get a read on them.

Phil Coulson:
I know, and I prefer it. But flying economy blows.
