Iron Man 3

Spoken by Matthew Ellis

―Matthew Ellis^[src]

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"President Ellis. You continue to resist my attempts to educate you, sir. And now you've missed me again. You know who I am. You don't know where I am. And you'll never see me coming..."

―The Mandarin's message to Matthew Ellis^[src]

"And how is President Ellis responding? By taking the guy they call War Machine and giving him a paint job."

―Bill Maher^[src]

"After years dodging the President's ban on "immoral" biotech research, my think tank now has a little something in the pipeline. It's an idea we like to call Extremis."

―Aldrich Killian to Pepper Potts^[src]

"My disciples just destroyed another cheap American knockoff. The Chinese Theatre. Mr. President, I know this must be getting frustrating. But this season of terror is drawing to a close. And don't worry, the big one is coming. Your graduation."

―The Mandarin's message to Matthew Ellis^[src]

"Mr. President. Only two lessons remain. And I intend to finish this before Christmas morning. Meet Thomas Richards. Good strong name. Good strong job. Thomas, here, is an accountant for the Roxxon Oil Corporation. But I'm sure he's a really good guy. I'm going to shoot him in the head, live on your television in 30 seconds. The number for this telephone is in your cell phone. Exciting, isn't it, imagining how it got there? America, if your president calls me in the next half-minute, Tom lives. Go!"

―The Mandarin's message to Matthew Ellis^[src]

"There's just one lesson left President Ellis so run away, hide, kiss your children goodbye because nothing, not your army, not your red, white and blue attack dog can save you! I'll see you soon.""

―The Mandarin's message to Matthew Ellis^[src]

"We gotta make a decision. We can either save the president, or Pepper. We can't do both."

―James Rhodes to Tony Stark^[src]

"Give me some good news, man."
"I think they all made it."
"Oh, thank God."
"Yeah, but I missed the president."
"You couldn't save the president with the suit, how are we gonna save Pepper with nothing?"

―James Rhodes and Tony Stark^[src]

"You look damn good, Mr. President, but I'm gonna need that suit back."

―James Rhodes to Matthew Ellis^[src]

Dialogue

"It is an honor, Mr. President."
"If you're gonna do it, do it!"
"Whoa! Cool your boots, sir. That's not how the Mandarin works."

―Eric Savin and Matthew Ellis^[src]

"What do you want from me?"
"Uh...nothing, sir. I just needed a reason to kill you that would play well on TV. You see, I've moved on. I've found myself a new political patron, and at this time tomorrow, he'll have your job."

―Matthew Ellis and Aldrich Killian^[src]

Promotional

"You elected me on a single platform: I will defend this country at all costs. The Mandarin must be stopped!"

―Matthew Ellis^[src]

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Spoken by Matthew Ellis

"Welcome back Cap."

―Matthew Ellis responds to the return of Captain America^[src]

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

Episode 1.11: The Magical Place

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"The Clairvoyant can see within any agency, any government. He knows what the President dreams about at night."

―Raina^[src]

Episode 1.18: Providence

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"Today, world leaders are scrambling for answers after the world's most advanced spy agency was crippled by a series of attacks. The president contends this is the biggest intelligence leak in world history. But what's even more disturbing are the documents released from S.H.I.E.L.D. show clear evidence of human experimentation, stockpiles of WMD all concealed by a massive cover-up. With world security at stake, officials everywhere are calling for S.H.I.E.L.D...."

―A news reporter^[src]

Episode 1.19: The Only Light in the Darkness

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"-another example of this administration's lack of transparency."
"You can't seriously be blaming the president for this."
"Those who let S.H.I.E.L.D. operate without oversight should be held accountable."
"If your party held the White House, would you be taking this position?"
"If my party held the White house, we wouldn't be in this position."

―A conversation on the radio^[src]

Episode 3.01: Laws of Nature

Spoken by Matthew Ellis

"Good evening. I'm here tonight to address growing concerns among our citizens of the threats we face that are not of this world. I don't need to remind people of the catastrophes in New York, London, and most recently Sokovia, tragedies that seem to be growing in number and scale. And the organization we had in place to protect us, S.H.I.E.L.D., brought airships raining down in our nation's capital. Every day, new dangers present themselves, filling our peaceful streets with chaos. By executive order, I have created a special task force to neutralize these alien threats on our soil. The Advanced Threat Containment Unit, or ATCU, will be given full license to act with whatever authority is necessary. The laws of nature have changed. And until the laws of man change to reflect that, we must do what we feel is right."

―Matthew Ellis' speech to the American people^[src]

Dialogue

"Mr. President, how do you respond to reports that the recent incidents are, in fact, due to the spread of an alien contagion?"
"These are rumors. They are not true. They are fabrications meant to boost ratings and cause hysteria. Any and all possibilities are being taken very seriously by the ATCU."
"But if this is an outbreak, shouldn't the public be made aware?"
"I think we should be careful, the words we start throwing around. The last thing we need is panic in the streets. Any threat will be eliminated, I can assure you. People have a right to know."
"Are the infected among us?"
"Thank you. That'll be all for today."

―Reporters and Matthew Ellis^[src]

Episode 3.03: A Wanted (Inhu)man

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"I have another theory. The president makes a big speech about this new organization he's put in place. I imagine that puts a lot of pressure on you to show results."

―Phil Coulson to Rosalind Price^[src]

Episode 3.07: Chaos Theory

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but the president's gonna have to wait."

―Phil Coulson^[src]

Episode 3.08: Many Heads, One Tale

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"I'm Gideon Malick. I advise the president's staff, And I want to assure you that we're working with S.H.I.E.L.D. to do everything we can to help you."

―Gideon Malick to Andrew Garner^[src]

"Gideon Malick."
"I know the name. Industrialist. He once served on the World Council."
"He's a friend. I've worked with him more than a decade. H-He advises the president's staff, helped design the ATCU, oversees the science division. He gave me the T.A.H.I.T.I. intel."

―Rosalind Price and Phil Coulson^[src]

Episode 3.11: Bouncing Back

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"Can I ask, why here?"
"I want him to see where it happened. Besides, I wasn't about to give him the location of our base. And apparently, he didn't want to invite us to his house."

―Melinda May and Phil Coulson^[src]

Dialogue

"Mr. President."
"Director Coulson. Thank you for meeting me. Long overdue. Rosalind spoke highly of you. She believed that I should be working with S.H.I.E.L.D. I did always value her judgment. I'll miss her."
"I assume we're not here to share memories of a fallen friend."
"This-- this problem Rosalind said you called them Inhumans? Heads of state calling, not sure what's happening. Watchdog agencies hurling accusations. Fox News won't shut up. I don't need to tell you how delicate the situation is, but we have to do something."
"With all due respect, Mr. President, we are doing something."

―Phil Coulson and Matthew Ellis^[src]

Episode 3.12: The Inside Man

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"Don't leave like this, Carla. It's not my fault. I just couldn't say no to the president."
"Yes, you could have. You just didn't want to. You're always choosing career over family, Glenn."

―Glenn Talbot and Carla Talbot^[src]

"I didn't ask to get put in front of this sideshow circus. If I find out you had anything to do with it--"
"It was the president's idea, as was the symposium in Taiwan that we're supposed to be getting ready for."

―Glenn Talbot and Phil Coulson^[src]

"He doesn't go, I don't go."
"Fine. We'll go without you. We don't need him."
"Actually, we do. If the acting head of our own ATCU doesn't show up, it sends a bad message not to mention it will embarrass the president and destroy any hope of an international coalition."

―Glenn Talbot, Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson^[src]

"You must be loving this."
"You're the president's official representative. It's a customary way to honor them for hosting this symposium, and you look very dignified."

―Glenn Talbot and Phil Coulson^[src]

"Please thank your president for organizing this. I think we will all find it very valuable."

―Anton Petrov to Glenn Talbot^[src]

Episode 3.13: Parting Shot

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"We were lucky President Ellis even got Interpol to step in. They walk free, but they cannot be agents."
"So that's it? We're just leaving them?"
"It was all we could do to keep them from being executed. Relations between the President and Prime Minister are already badly strained because of the growing alien threat. And if they found out S.H.I.E.L.D. was up and running, training Inhumans as agents..."
"It would be bad. Like Cold War bad. Bobbi and Hunter never cracked under questioning, even to save each other. They did that for S.H.I.E.L.D. They did that for us, and they paid the price."

―Phil Coulson, Jemma Simmons and Melinda May^[src]

Dialogue

"I don't believe any of this. These two are obviously working for either your government directly or indirectly, as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"You know very well, Prime Minister, there is no S.H.I.E.L.D. It was dismantled."
"Mr. President, do you think we are all naive? S.H.I.E.L.D. is alive and well and working with your government to get ahead of us."
"Ahead of you? What are you talking about?"
"There is a new arms race in our future the race for powered individuals. You know this."
"What I know, Dmitri, is that there was an attempt on your life a coup and if I were you, I'd be grateful to the people who intervened."
"Let's be frank, Matthew. What matters here is only how things appear. And for me, this appears to be a disaster. This incident will go public, and I will have to explain how not one, not two, but three members of my government were murdered."
"To be fair two of them were trying to kill you sir."
"Remind me who is this man?"
"Advisor to our ATCU. He, uh he tracks enhanced threats."
"Threats like your very own Minister of Defense, General Androvich, who I believe was trying to assassinate you."
"So you claim. Mr. President, if you do not wish to escalate hostilities between our nations, you will do what is right. Someone must pay for what happened here. And it will not be me."

―Dimitri Olshenko, Matthew Ellis and Phil Coulson^[src]

Episode 4.01: The Ghost

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"As soon as Talbot gave the location of this base to the president, things changed. I knew we'd be divided, undermined, kept in the dark, so I have been clawing for as much power as I can possibly grab to keep a modicum of control over any of this."

―Jemma Simmons to Melinda May^[src]

Episode 4.02: Meet the New Boss

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"Phil, am I getting something wrong? This was your idea. When you stepped down, you told the President you didn't want to be the face of the Agency."
"For a whole host of reasons."
"And you said we needed a new face. And now that Steve Rogers went AWOL, you wanted a hero."
"I said the new Director should be a powered person the public could trust. And they came up with you."
"And now you're stuck with me."

―Jeffrey Mace and Phil Coulson^[src]

Episode 4.03: Uprising

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"I need a win, Phil, with a capital "W." Been on the phone with the President. He says if we don't have answers soon, he's gonna do something--"

―Jeffrey Mace to Phil Coulson^[src]

"Yes, Mr. President? Uh, watching now, sir."
"We now control seven cities. If you do not end the Registration of Inhumans in 24 hours, we will black out seven more."
"Yes, Mr. President. I understand the gravity of the situation. Just give me one more hour. Agent Coulson and his team are on the case. Thank you, sir. The President wants to send troops into the blackout zones, take out the Inhumans by any means necessary."

―Jeffrey Mace on the phone with Matthew Ellis with an interruption from the Watchdogs^[src]

"Hello, everyone. I'm Jeffrey Mace, and the President has asked me to address recent events that have many of you concerned."

―Jeffrey Mace on live television^[src]

Episode 4.07: Deals With Our Devils

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"I ran an illegal spy agency using powered operatives on American soil. Do you think the President loved that about me? I had to step down so that you could all continue in S.H.I.E.L.D.."

―Phil Coulson to Leo Fitz^[src]

Episode 4.10: The Patriot

Spoken about Matthew Ellis

"Mr. President. We don't know who survived, but I've got our top agents searching for the Quinjet. Agent Burrows has the package, but we don't know if he was onboard. Yes, sir. Let's hope for all our sakes that Director Mace got it."

―Glenn Talbot to Matthew Ellis^[src]

"The President tasked me with finding the next Captain America. Not an easy job, but I did it. I delivered a Patriot A bona fide American hero!"

―Glenn Talbot^[src]

WHiH Newsfront

Episode 2.04: WHIH Newsfront Exclusive: President Ellis Discusses the Avengers

Spoken by Matthew Ellis

"We've experienced a series of grave events that have had severe repercussions. I am completely sensitive to the fear and concern that creates. But at the same time, I recognize what men like Tony Stark, Steve Rogers and others have done in the face of these attacks."

―Matthew Ellis^[src]

Episode 2.05: WHIH Breaking News: Attack in Lagos

Spoken by Matthew Ellis

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I've just been briefed on the developing situation in Lagos, Nigeria. Secretary Ross has contacted their president and assured him that we will do whatever it takes to support our friend and ally. It is crucial that we unite and stand together to ensure that peace and security prevail over chaos and fear. In the coming days, my administration will work directly with the United Nations to find the people responsible for this catastrophe and hold them accountable to the full extent of the law. With courage, and with compassion, the international community will help support Lagos during their time of need. Thank you and may God bless."
