Off the record? I'm not as sure as I used to be. I believe in the man, but I'm not sure Nick is so sure of his direction. Of what SHIELD is. What he wants it to be. He's a good man, brave, and he'll do what needs to be done, whatever the cost. Sometimes I think the cost is too much. I couldn't do what he does. I don't know if anyone could. Maybe that's why he's Director. But maybe there are prices not worth paying, and the longer I've known Nick, the more I know there's fewer and fewer lines he won't cross for the greater good. But that's what SHIELD's about at the end of the day. The greater good. And that's why people like me aren't in charge.
And if you intend to come up against Fury you're going to have to deal with us, because if there is one thing Nick inspires, it's loyalty.
