A collection of quotes of the former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury.

Spoken by Nick Fury
"Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to exit the donut."

- Nick Fury to Tony Stark

Dialogue
"What do you want from me?" "What do we want from you? Uh-uh. What do you want from me? You have become a problem, a problem I have to deal with. Contrary to your belief, you are not the center of my universe. I have bigger problems in the southwest region to deal with."

- Tony Stark and Nick Fury

Dialogue
"At ease, soldier!" "Who are you?" "Colonel Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. You would have known us as the Strategic Scientific Reserve." "Where am I?" "46th and Broadway. I'm sorry about that little show back there, but we didn't know what your mental state might be, so we thought it best to break it to you slowly." "Break what?" "You've been asleep, Cap. For almost 70 years." "How am I alive?" "Well, to be honest with you, we don't really know. My docs say it was suspended animation. Could be Dr. Erskine's formula, the extreme cold. I don't know." "What about the war? Did we win?" "Hell, yes. Unconditional surrender. Taking down HYDRA was a big part of that. But the world hasn't changed all that much. There's still a lot of work to be done. A soldier's work. The world can still use a man like you, Cap. There's a place here for you."

- Nick Fury and Steve Rogers

Spoken by Nick Fury
"There was an idea called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people so they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to to fight the battles we never could."

- Nick Fury

"How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war, you steal a force you can't hope to control, you talk about peace, and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did."

- Nick Fury to Loki

Spoken about Nick Fury
"Why did Fury call us and why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us. I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables." "You think Fury's hiding something?" "He's a spy. Captain, he's the spy. His secrets have secrets."

- Tony Stark and Steve Rogers

"Director Fury is no longer in command. Override order 7-Alpha-1-1.""

- Councilwoman Hawley

Dialogue
"We have no quarrel with your people." "An ant has no quarrel with a boot."

- Nick Fury and Loki

"Doctor, thank you for coming." "Thanks for asking nicely. So, uh... how long am I staying?" "Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the clear."

- Nick Fury and Bruce Banner

"Director Fury, the council has made a decision." "I recognise the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it."

- World Security Council and Nick Fury

"I don't think you understand what you've started. Letting the Avengers loose on this world. They're dangerous." "They surely are. And the whole world knows it. Every world knows it."

- World Security Council and Nick Fury

"You think you could make Loki tell us where the Tesseract is?" "I do not know. Loki's mind is far afield. It's not just power he craves, it's vengeance, upon me. There's no pain would prise his need from him." "A lot of guys think that. Until the pain starts." "What are you asking me to do?" "I'm asking, what are you prepared to do?" " Loki is a prisoner." "Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here?"

- Nick Fury and Thor

Spoken by Nick Fury
"He'd show 'em. A roll of crumpled ones, and a loaded twenty-two magnum."

- Nick Fury

"But if you want to stay ahead of me, Mr. Secretary, you need to keep both eyes open."

- Nick Fury to Alexander Pierce

"Get me off the grid NOW!!!"

- Nick Fury

Dialogue
"We're going to neutralize a lot of threats before they even happen." "I thought the punishment usually came after the crime." "We can't afford to wait that long." "Who's we?"

- Nick Fury and Captain America

"This isn't freedom. This is fear." "S.H.I.E.L.D. takes the world as it is, not as we'd like it to be."

- Captain America and Nick Fury

"There was a time when I would take a bullet for you." "You already did."
