"I was not prepared for that, I got to admit. You pack a big punch for such a small package. I got to read the fine print next time. I hate wasting the charge on that thing. Honestly, I wasn't trying to hurt you, but you had a lead pipe at the ready, and I can't ri... Okay. I guess we'll stick with the first impression."

- Deke Shaw talking to Melinda May

Dialogue
"Buddy! Just go with it. I've been looking everywhere for you guys. Man, what a mess back there, huh? These poor suckers. Virgil you know, from R&R? He was trying to scam these guys out of some tokens. This one came running to me begging for help, the poor thing. When I get my hands on that no-good louse, he's gonna have some explaining to do. So where is Virgil, anyway?" "He's dead."

"Well, actually, not according to the multiverse theory. You probably never heard of it, but in quantum physics, there's a theory that, for every universe, there are infinite parallel universes. So in my universe, you destroyed the planet. Maybe that just hasn't happened in..." "So what universe did that just happen in? Mine or yours?"

- A Life Spent

Spoken by Deke Shaw
"I was 9 okay? When my mother got dragged away and murdered. Kasius got rid of all the elders, all the smart people, and she was one of them. And after she was gone, my dad took up the cause. He carried the torch for her. And as I got older, I begged him not to. I said that they were gonna get him, too, and I was right. He got sent to the roaches, just like the rest of them."

"We are so stupid!"

- Deke Shaw

"This is the guy who sold me to Kasius." "Oh, kill him. He's a snake." "I'm gonna cut his throat open." "I'm a pragmatist! Alright. Just listen. Just listen. I told you I would lead you to your friend. There she is. And I stopped you from doing something drastic, that would've gotten a lot of people killed in the process."

- Daisy Johnson, Jemma Simmons, and Leo Fitz reuniting with Deke Shaw

"All right. So you ready to take this thing out?" "What, me? I'm not a pilot." "What? You don't know how to fly this thing?" "I never said I did."

- Phil Coulson, Deke Shaw, Daisy Johnson

Dialogue
"Hey. What are they doing with the shard." "Who, Coulson and May? Hell if I know, but if you ask me, they got their priorities way out of whack." "No, that's not what I mean. That belonged to my mom. Why doesn't my dad have it? After my mom died, he always kept it close." "Don't overthink it, kid. It's pretty dangerous out there in the wastelands. He probably just left it here for safekeeping." "No. Before the Blues exiled him, I begged him for that stupid rock so I'd have something to remember her by, and he said that he couldn't trust me with it." "You need to calm down." "No, you need to stop lying to me. He wouldn't leave it in your locker. So what the hell did you do to my father?"

"I thought you'd be dead." "Yeah, I guess Voss didn't want anymore of my family's blood on his hands." "You're dad. Deke, i'm s, i'm so sorry."

Dialogue
"Finally starting to get the hang of this whole good guy thing." "Yeah, just in time for the sky to fall and kill us all. "Perfect timing Deke". What makes you say that?." "Voss. You let him live." "Doesn't mean i'm good. Maybe i'm just spineless." "Killing is never the better option." "If it can prevent more pain, maybe. I'm sure you've done it. My dad could be very violent, but, only when he needed to be. You learn that in the Lighthouse. A life spent, a life earned." "Never a life saved." "That's my point. Shouldn't I be able to pull the trigger if I think that person could do more harm?" "I don't think Voss is a threat to anyone but me." "Right. No you're right."

- Daisy Johnson and Deke Shaw talking about his decision not to kill Samuel Voss

"I'm kind of trying to do the whole hero thing man! Is that your pep talk? You guys get killed, who saves the world then? I told my parents not to believe in this roach-crap fairy tale, and they went and they died for it anyway. And I'm probably next in line. But there is no way in hell that I'm gonna let some blue Kreeper destroy that machine before I get to see whether or not that damn thing was worth any of this."

- Deke Shaw

"Son of a bitch!"

- Deke Shaw

Dialogue
"You two get that thing to Flint. We'll worry about survivors." "And then kill Kasius." "Get them to safety." "And then we kill Kasius? When does that happen? Because, some of us aren't getting out of here on a magic rock." "We won't leave until humanity is in charge of it's future."

"I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty freaked out when I punched the coordinates into the phone and it led me into the middle of a grassy field. And it's like, "Can the Quinjet get here a little bit quicker, please?", you know? But I managed to grave the critters."

- Deke Shaw

Dialogue
"I just got to a world that's got ice cream and the sun and orange-scented stuff. So, no. No, no, no. And in case any of you forgot, I already did the heroic sacrifice thing to get you all here. So I'm done." "I'm not asking you to sacrifice yourself. I just want to borrow your belt buckle."

"My mom used to tell me about her parents all the time. She always spoke about her dad with so much love and admiration on her face. Said that he was the best man she ever knew. So I know that you can help Fitz. And I know that you two are gonna be okay. Because "the steps you take don't need to be big"..." "They just need to take you in the right direction". You're our grandson?"

- Deke Shaw and Jemma Simmons

- Deke Shaw, Melinda May and Daisy Johnson

Dialogue
"Is Daisy here? She's so pretty." "What now?" "I want to put my mouth on her mouth and move it around a lot. But I don't want to do that unless she wants to, too, 'cause that's what makes it nice.

Dialogue
"The Remorath are Marauders. They're intergalactic scavengers with no planet of their own, so they just take from others, and wherever they go, darkness follows." "Darkness? That's a little vague." "Well, it's not the concept of darkness, it's literal darkness, it's literal darkness. It follows them because they're magic, and they can see in the dark, and we can't, so it makes them kill us better with with their claws." "Did you say "claws"?" "Yeah. Did I not mention the footlong razor claws? Because, yeah." "Well, people in the future survive. There must be a way to stop them." "No, we didn't stop them. We just... We just gave them whatever they wanted, and then said thank you and cleaned up the bodies after they left."

I'm not a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. But for some reason, I'm still hanging around this rusty drainpipe." "Well, you do have family here." "Yeah, I don't think it's that. Oh, well, don't get me wrong. You guys are great totally not disappointments at all."

"Come on. I never totally fit in with the gang, anyway." "Is that what we are?" "You know, when I first met you guys, I'd never seen anything like that. I'd seen people kill for each other without hesitation all the time, but I'd never seen a group that was willing to die for each other. Your trust, it just seemed too strong to break. And you trying to fix Coulson, that's great. I love the guy, but if you really want to lead one day, then you got to fix that."

- Deke Shaw and Daisy Johnson
