Movies
Iron Man
Dialogue
- ""I am Iron Man". You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe, you just don't know it yet."
"Who the hell are you?"
"Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.."
"Ah."
"I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative." - ―Nick Fury and Tony Stark
Iron Man 2
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
Captain America: The First Avenger
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
The Avengers
Spoken by Nick Fury
- "There was an idea, Stark knows this, called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if 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
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
- "Please don't. I still need that."
"This doesn't have to get any messier."
"Of course it does. I've come too far anything else. I am Loki, of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious purpose."
"Loki, brother of Thor."
"We have no quarrel with your people."
"An ant has no quarrel with a boot."
"Are you planning to step on us?"
"I come with glad tidings of a world made free."
"Free from what?"
"Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart...you will know peace."
"Yeah, you say "peace," I kind of think you mean the other thing."
"Sir, Director Fury is stalling. This place is about to blow and drop a hundred feet of rock on us. He means to bury us."
"Like the pharaohs of old."
"He's right. The portal is collapsing in on itself. We've got maybe two minutes before this goes critical."
"Well, then..." - ―Loki, Nick Fury, Erik Selvig and Hawkeye
- "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 recognize 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
- "I'd like to know why S.H.I.E.L.D. is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction."
"Because of him!"
"Me?"
"Last year, Earth had a visit from another planet that had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously outgunned."
"My people want nothing but peace with your planet!"
"But you're not the only ones out there, are you? And you're not the only threat. The world is filling up with people that can't be matched, that can't be controlled!"
"Like you control the cube?" - ―Bruce Banner, Nick Fury, Thor and Steve Rogers
- "I'm sorry, boss. The god rabbited."
"Just stay awake. Eyes on me."
"No. I'm clocked out here."
"Not an option."
"It's okay, boss. This was never going to work... if they didn't have something... to..."
"Agent Coulson is down."
"Paramedics are on their way."
"They're already here. They called it." - ―Nick Fury, Phil Coulson and Maria Hill
- "In case it's unclear, if you try to escape, you so much as scratch that glass...it's 30,000 feet straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works? Ant... boot."
"It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me."
"Built for something a lot stronger than you."
"Oh, I've heard. The mindless beast, makes play he's still a man. How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?"
"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."
"Ooh. It burns you to have come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded what real power is."
"Well, let me know if "real power" wants a magazine or something." - ―Nick Fury and Loki
- "Your work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it... and his allies. It is a signal to the Realm that Earth is ready for a higher form of war!"
"Higher form? You forced our hand! We had to come up with some way that we could..."
"A nuclear deterrent? Cause that always works well..."
"Remind me how you made your fortune, Mr Stark." - ―Thor, Nick Fury and Tony Stark
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Spoken by Nick Fury
- "This is Project Insight. Three next generation Helicarriers linked to a network of targeting satellites. Once we get them in the air they never need to come down."
- ―Nick Fury to Captain America
- "Get me off the grid!"
- ―Nick Fury
- "This man declined the Nobel Peace Prize. He said peace wasn't an achievement, it was a responsibility. See, it's stuff like this that gives me trust issues."
- ―Nick Fury
- "Well...looks like you're giving the orders now, Captain."
- ―Nick Fury to Captain America
- "But if you want to stay ahead of me, Mr. Secretary, you need to keep both eyes open."
- ―Nick Fury to Alexander Pierce
Dialogue
- "My grandfather operated one of these things for 40 years. Granddad worked in a nice building. Got good tips. He'd walk home every night, a roll of ones stuffed in his lunch bag. He'd say, "Hi." People would say, "Hi" back. Time went on, the neighborhood got rougher. He'd say, "Hi." They'd say, "Keep on steppin'." Granddad got to gripping that lunch bag a little tighter."
"Did he ever get mugged?"
"Every week some punk would say, "What's in the bag?""
"What would he do?"
"He'd show them. Bunch of crumpled ones, and a loaded .22 Magnum. Yeah, Granddad loved people. But he didn't trust them very much." - ―Nick Fury and Steve Rogers
- "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 Steve Rogers
- "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. And it's getting damn near past time for you to get with that program, Cap."
"Don't hold your breath." - ―Steve Rogers and Nick Fury
- "There was a time when I would take a bullet for you."
"You already did." - ―Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Spoken by Nick Fury

- ―Nick Fury to the Avengers
Dialogue
- "Sir, we have multiple bogies converging on our starboard flank."
"Show them what we got!" - ―Maria Hill and Nick Fury
- "Nothing lasts forever."
"Trouble, Ms. Romanoff. No matter who wins or loses, trouble still comes around." - ―Natasha Romanoff and Nick Fury
Avengers: Infinity War
Dialogue
- "Still no word from Stark?"
"No, not yet. We're watching every satellite on both hemispheres, still nothing."
"What is it?"
"Multiple bogies, over Wakanda."
"Same energy signatures as New York?"
"Ten times bigger."
"Tell Klein we'll meet him at-"
"Nick!"
"They okay?"
"There's no one here."
"Call control. Code Red!"
"Nick?"
"Hill? Oh, no. Motherfu-" - ―Nick Fury and Maria Hill
Captain Marvel
Spoken by Nick Fury
- "War is a universal language. I know a renegade soldier when I see one. Never occurred to me that one might come from above."
- ―Nick Fury
- "Aren't you the cutest little thing? Aren't you cute? What's your name, huh?"
- ―Nick Fury to Goose
Dialogue

"We'll see."
"That’s a yes or no question."
"Yes."" - ―Nick Fury and Carol Danvers
- ""What's this?"
"It’s the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo."

"Says the Space Soldier who was wearing a rubber suit."" - ―Carol Danvers and Nick Fury

"This is wrong!" - ―Dr. Goodman, Dr. Streiten and Phil Coulson during the Resurrection of Phil Coulson
- "Just got off the phone with headquarters. Director Fury was very relieved."
- ―Victoria Hand
- "After New York, you weren't dead for 8 seconds or 40 seconds or whatever they put in your file. You were dead for days."

Episode 2.20: Scars
Spoken about Nick Fury
- "Obviously, you and Fury have been keeping busy."
"What can I say? I'm a company man. With the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury felt we needed a failsafe, something completely off the books, a "break in case of emergency" type of thing." - ―Robert Gonzales and Phil Coulson
- "When I found out that this ship had survived HYDRA's attack and still had that classified cargo onboard, that you placed spies on my base, that I couldn't keep my own people safe, I felt like I'd failed as director. And the truth is, I did. A coup will make you think about things like that. I tried to do it all alone. That was a mistake. Even Fury had a World Council watching over him, providing guidance."
- ―Phil Coulson
- "The fact that Theta Protocol turned out to be a Helicarrier doesn't change things for me. Fury brought you back from the dead, and he used alien blood to do it. And you can't be blamed for what happened to you, but you can't be trusted, either."
- ―Alphonso Mackenzie to Phil Coulson
Episode 3.10: Maveth

Spoken about Nick Fury
- "Is that the book my uncle was talking about?"

Spoken about Nick Fury
- "You see? Yours is not the only life Agent Coulson has so easily tossed aside or hidden behind. This is what he does. Everything is his S.H.I.E.L.D.. The Government, behind you, Director, behind Nick Fury, Stark, all of it, stands Agent Coulson, quietly pursuing his alien agenda."
- ―Anton Ivanov to Jeffrey Mace
