Phil Coulson
- Jeffrey Mace: Aida read the Darkhold.
- Phil Coulson: We can't risk having any of its contents in her memory. It's too dangerous.
- Leo Fitz: Makes sense, although does seem a little bit unfair to Aida, considering how many lives she just saved.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Okay. First of all, that thing is not a "she" - it's a damn robot. And second of all, what's the matter with you two chuckleheads? Have either one of you seen a movie in the last 30 years? The robots always attack.
- Jeffrey Mace: Due to recent events, S.H.I.E.L.D. is on high alert. This is a serious threat we're facing, which is why I've assembled you all here today. It is absolutely critical that we safely dispose of the Darkhold. Phil.
- Phil Coulson: Once the Zephyr's ready, Agents May and Mackenzie will accompany me. We'll transfer the Darkhold to an agent who specializes in making items like this disappear.
- Holden Radcliffe: How's he going to manage that - some sort of magic spell? Right, yeah, probably had your fill of dark-arts jokes, what with that flame-headed demon and all that.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: This isn't some Johnny 5 we're talking about. This is a bloodthirsty murder-bot on the loose. This thing really killed Nathanson?
- Phil Coulson: Yeah. Question is why.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: If we catch her, maybe I'm sure we'll get some crazy-ass Roy Batty explanation.
- Melinda May: Maybe Nathanson saw something he wasn't supposed to see.
- Phil Coulson: Guess we won't know till we find Aida.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: First, maybe lock up the guy who created this mess.
- Holden Radcliffe: Don't - Don't be so quick to judge. Aida's programming was perfect. This is - is clearly the Darkhold's fault.
- Phil Coulson: You're saying reading the Darkhold may have corrupted Aida's programming? Is that even possible.
- Leo Fitz: Technically, no, but we are dealing with a book that can read people's minds and also reveal the hidden secrets of the universe, so...
- Melinda May: I never should have let Aida near that thing.
- Holden Radcliffe: Don't be so hard on yourself, Agent May. I, for one, am glad that Aida read that book. Otherwise, both of you would not be standing her alive at this very moment.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Well, book or no book, you're still a big, dumb idiot for building that think in the first place.
- Phil Coulson: Aida's basically a walking smart phone, right? If a person loses their phone, they can track it. Why can't we do the same with her?
- Leo Fitz: Yeah, well, normally we can, only Aida's somehow managed to take control of her entire operating system.
- Holden Radcliffe: Which unfortunately includes her tracking program.
- Phil Coulson: Meaning Aida can read her GPS history?
- [Radcliffe nods]
- Phil Coulson: That's not good. That's bad.
- Melinda May: How many times have we been locked up together?
- Phil Coulson: Huh. Hard to say. First time by a robot, though.
- Phil Coulson: Right now, we need to find Aida, and the first step is to figure out what she wants.
- Holden Radcliffe: Well, that's simple. She wants to live.
