->'''Sousa:''' Well. Glad to finally put a face to the name. I gotta say, I've waited a long time to meet the famous Agent Carter. But I'm surprised to find you here, running a security op in our little patch of desert.
->'''Simmons:''' I apologize for the short notice, but we had to act quickly. I believe this base may have been infiltrated.
->'''Sousa:''' No. Imagine that. An infiltrator, right under our noses.
->'''Simmons:''' And you arrived just this morning, Agent...?
->'''Sousa:''' Call me Daniel.
->'''Simmons:''' Daniel. And where exactly did you materialize from?
->'''Sousa:''' I just flew in from L.A.
->'''Simmons:''' Oh, you work at the old SSR [Strategic Scientific Reserve] office.
->'''Sousa:''' I'm in charge of it.
->'''Simmons:''' Daniel, your surname wouldn't happen to be Sousa?
->'''Sousa:''' It would.
->'''Simmons:''' Which would make you the former colleague of Agent Peggy Carter.
->'''Sousa:''' It would.
->'''Simmons:''' I suppose you'll be arresting me now.
->'''Sousa:''' You got it all figured out, don't you?
->'''Sousa:''' The lady pretending to be Carter? Worst fake accent you've ever heard.

->'''Sousa:''' And nobody seems to look you in the eye now.
->'''May:''' Wait 'til they all get cellphones.
->'''Sousa:''' So, I was thinking, how do you guys know I was supposed to die in 1955?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' It's in the history books.
->'''Sousa:''' Yeah, but...but what if you always plucked me out of time? Does that mean I always survive? And if we end up in your present, will we even be in the same timeline?
->'''Daisy:''' I'd stop thinking about it. Your brains will spill out.
->'''Enoch:''' Come with me if you want to continue to exist!
->'''Daisy:''' Enoch, you're here.

!Adapt or Die
->'''LMD Coulson:''' What's the difference between a Chronicom and a human?
->'''Sibyl:''' Time. Humans have a limited amount of it and therefore fear death. They act irrationally to prevent themselves or others from experiencing death. Chronicoms cannot die. Time has no consequence. You should ask yourself which category you fall into.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' So, that's the difference that makes your species more valuable.
->'''Sibyl:''' Less fleeting. With a home planet intact, we will exist long after you're gone. Once you realize that, you'll give up. Or... you'll run out of...
->'''LMD Coulson:''' ...Time. Yeah, you said that. I would argue that you're wrong about three things, if you don't mind.
->'''Sibyl:''' Please.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' First... the difference is sacrifice. Yeah, time is limited... which means sacrifice comes at a real cost... not just data. Heart and pain and blood and sweat and tears... all the good human stuff. And we will never give up.
->'''Sibyl:''' You said I was wrong about three things. What's the third?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Me. You see, I haven't feared death for a long time.
->'''Sibyl:''' Is that so?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Yeah. The fact is, dying... it's kind of my super power.
!The Totally Excellent Adventures of Mack and the D
->'''Deke:''' This isn't a cover band. The band is a cover. Director, I want to introduce you to The Deke Squad. That's Roxy Glass. She runs covert ops and tactical. Kind of the brains of the operation. Alright, y'all ready? Tommy and Ronnie Chang, a.k.a. The Chang Gang. Both masters of disguises, not to mention total honey pots. Olga Pachinko... resistance from the Balkans. Only speaks limited English, though she is fluent in the international language... demolitions. And finally, there's Cricket. Cricket's... well, I mean, mostly, we just really needed a drummer.
->'''Mack:''' Wait, wait, wait. Didn't you tell me that dude was shady?
->'''Deke:''' Yeah, but that was before I found out he had a steady job.
->'''Mack:''' Doing what?
->'''Deke:''' Selling coke. Although, I've never seen him drink any.
->'''Mack:''' Look, I appreciate the effort you put in. I really do. But this is terrible spy-craft to be this high-profile.
->'''Deke:''' Exactly. That's the whole point. Think about the practical applications. We move freely from town-to-town. Big cases of high tech "equipment" are part of the gig. And any strange behavior, they just chalk it up to drugs.
->'''Mack:''' Like coke?
->'''Deke:''' The drink? I don't follow.
!After, Before
->'''Deke:''' Stand back. There's gonna be a big surge of electricity. Electricity's dangerous.
->'''Sousa:''' Do I look like a Neanderthal to you?
->'''Enoch:''' I spent time with a tribe of Neanderthals. Agent Sousa does not resemble one. He lacks the characteristic brow ridges.
!As I Have Always Been
->'''Daisy:''' You won't believe this, but I keep...
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Repeating the same events over and over again? Yeah. How long did it take you to figure it out this time? I was really hoping not to have this conversation again, but if you forgot everything we went through, I guess that means you died again.
->'''Daisy:''' I died?! ''Again?''
->'''LMD Coulson:''' And always say it just like that. We're the only two who remember, so each time you die in one of these loops, you don't remember anything in the next reset, so then you have to learn everything all over again.
->'''Daisy:''' That's awful.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' It's annoying. 'Cause who has to teach you every time? This guy. I've done it 14 times so far.
->'''Daisy:''' We've done this 14 times?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Oh, no. No, no, no. You've died 14 times. We've been through this loop 87 times, or I should say 87 that I know about.
->'''Daisy:''' That you know about?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' 'Cause you don't come power me up every time! It's okay. Not your fault. P.S., not a big fan of starting each loop powered down. Disconcerting.
->'''May:''' Deke's dead?
->'''Daisy:''' Very.
->'''Mack:''' Do we need to be sad about that?
->'''Daisy:''' We do not.
->'''Daisy:''' Every time I ask you for help, you say yes. Even if I don't ask, you're waiting here to make sure I rest or... whatever. Why? Be honest.
->'''Sousa:''' Honest? I know your type.
->'''Daisy:''' My what, now?
->'''Sousa:''' I know people like you. Some of my favorite people are people like you. Focused on the greater good, even at your own expense. You want people to think you like being alone, even though you always end up back with friends. You hate losing.
->'''Daisy:''' Everyone hates losing.
->'''Sousa:''' Yeah, but you'll keep running at the problem full-tilt until you either solve it or slam headlong into a brick wall.
->'''Daisy:''' Some of those walls are literal.
->'''Sousa:''' I know.
->'''Daisy:''' But how does that...
->'''Sousa:''' Because when people like you run into those walls, you should have someone there to pick you back up.
->'''Daisy:''' And you... you like to... be that someone?
->'''Sousa:''' Not for everyone. It helps if they're fun to be around and if they say what they mean and if they have that superpower where they can rock things around, which is very impressive.
->'''Daisy:''' That's, um... that is awfully specific.
->'''Enoch:''' In my thousands of years observing humans, I never used to feel lonely. I have been alone many times. To be candid, I preferred it. But it wasn't until I met this particular team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that being alone meant... feeling lonely. And I don't care for it. So, I am feeling, as you might expect, some anxiety now.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' You don't have to. You're not alone. Daisy and I will stay with you right up to the end.
->'''Enoch:''' That is very kind of you. But... it's that last part, isn't it? You can stay with me up to the end, but you can't come with me at the end. I will have to leave you. And I will have to do that alone. And I can't help wondering... when that happens... will I feel lonely?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' I can say with some authority that you're not wrong. Dying is lonely. But the feeling is temporary... at least for the person dying. The ones who are left behind... less so. I guess that's the one advantage to going first.
->'''Enoch:''' Yes. It's different, watching your friends go before you, isn't it? I have been through that, as well. It can be harder to stay than to leave. I'm sorry, Philip J. Coulson.
->'''Daisy:''' Enoch, the team will carry on the mission. We will survive because of you. Thank you.
->'''Enoch:''' You are most welcome. But, Agent Johnson, while your friends will indeed survive, the team will not.
->'''Daisy:''' What do you mean?
->'''Enoch:''' I have seen the future. Carry on this mission and cherish it, for it will be your last mission together.
->'''Daisy:''' It... That's... That's not possible. I-I... Enoch, this is my family.
->'''Enoch:''' Of course. Yet this is the nature of family, isn't it? I have seen it countless times on countless worlds. People arrive, so we celebrate, and people leave us, so we grieve. We do what we can with the time in between, but the cycle is always there. No one escapes it. Not even me.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Which means you're not alone. You're a part of that cycle.

->'''Koenig:''' My... My grandchildren? Enoch... this looks like the start of a marvelous friendship.
!Alien Commies from the Future!
->'''Simmons:''' ''[Speaking to LMD Coulson]'' Getting to the bottom of this may be difficult. If the Chronicoms have infiltrated, they would all look and act exactly like this.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Okay, but now you're just trafficking in stereotypes.
Simmons: Well, I mean, perhaps. But until a more diverse population goes into STEM fields, I'm afraid... any one of them could easily be mistaken for a Chronicom.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' True, but we don't have to test if they're Chronicoms. We just have to test if they're human. All we have to do is trigger an emotional response.
->''[Cut to: a montage as individual scientists sit down in front of them]''
->'''Simmons:''' ''[Speaking quickly holding up three fingers]'' How many fingers am I holding up? Nope, you're wrong...
->'''Scientist #1:''' You didn't give me a chance...
->'''Simmons:''' It was two fingers. Thank you.
->''[cut to: another scientist]''
->'''LMD Coulson:''' John Wayne. Bit overrated, don't you think? I mean, you're rugged, you're on a horse... who cares?
->'''Scientist #2:''' Who cares? Who cares about John Wayne? America cares.
->''[cut to: another scientist]''
->'''Simmons:''' ''[In tears]'' She couldn't stay with Rick. She had to go with Victor. Haven't you ever made a sacrifice for someone you love?
->'''Scientist #3: ''[on the verge of tears]'' Yes.
->''[cut to: another scientist]''
->'''LMD Coulson:''' How does it make you feel when I say the word "moist"? [Pause] Moist.
->'''Scientist #4:''' P-Please stop.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' ''Moist.''
->'''Daniel Sousa:''' Agent Carter?
->'''Simmons:''' In the flesh.
->'''Sousa:''' Well. Glad to finally put a face to the name. I gotta say, I've waited a long time to meet the famous Agent Carter. But I'm surprised to find you here, running a security op in our little patch of desert.
->'''Simmons:''' I apologize for the short notice, but we had to act quickly. I believe this base may have been infiltrated.
->'''Sousa:''' No. Imagine that. An infiltrator, right under our noses.
->'''Simmons:''' And you arrived just this morning, Agent...?
->'''Sousa:''' Call me Daniel.
->'''Simmons:''' Daniel. And where exactly did you materialize from?
->'''Sousa:''' I just flew in from L.A.
->'''Simmons:''' Oh, you work at the old SSR [Strategic Scientific Reserve] office.
->'''Sousa:''' I'm in charge of it.
->'''Simmons:''' Daniel, your surname wouldn't happen to be Sousa?
->'''Sousa:''' It would.
->'''Simmons:''' Which would make you the former colleague of Agent Peggy Carter.
->'''Sousa:''' It would.
->'''Simmons:''' I suppose you'll be arresting me now.
->'''Sousa:''' You got it all figured out, don't you?
->'''Sousa:''' The lady pretending to be Carter? Worst fake accent you've ever heard.
->'''Daisy:''' You should tell her that.
!Out of the Past
->'''Mack:''' It's easier to let a bad man live than to let a good man die.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' That's catchy, and I wish I'd said it, but Agent Sousa's sacrifice was an inspiration to others in S.H.I.E.L.D.
->'''Mack:''' Like yours was for the Avengers.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Well, let's not oversell it.
!A Trout in the Milk
->''[The team is now in 1973. Sousa emerges from a clothing store still wearing his suit from 1955]''
->'''Daisy:''' What happened to blending in?
->'''Sousa:''' I just don't understand the functional appeal of those... elephant... pants.
->'''Daisy:''' You mean the bell-bottoms?
->'''Sousa:''' Sure. How do people in your time function with all the extra fabric around their feet?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' I got news for you. This isn't actually our time period.
->'''Daisy:''' Well, fortunately, there's unfashionable squares in every decade, so you are... set.
->'''Sousa:''' And nobody seems to look you in the eye now.
->'''May:''' Wait 'til they all get cellphones.
->'''Sousa:''' So, I was thinking, how do you guys know I was supposed to die in 1955?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' It's in the history books.
->'''Sousa:''' Yeah, but...but what if you always plucked me out of time? Does that mean I always survive? And if we end up in your present, will we even be in the same timeline?
->'''Daisy:''' I'd stop thinking about it. Your brains will spill out.
->'''Enoch:''' Come with me if you want to continue to exist!
->'''Daisy:''' Enoch, you're here.
->'''Enoch:''' Yes. As I have been for the last 40 years. Now buckle up.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Sorry we left you behind, thanks for the lift, and sweet ride.
->'''Enoch:''' Thank you. ''Consumer Reports'' gave this vehicle a five-star safety rating, and its fuel economy is best in class.
!Adapt or Die
->'''LMD Coulson:''' What's the difference between a Chronicom and a human?
->'''Sibyl:''' Time. Humans have a limited amount of it and therefore fear death. They act irrationally to prevent themselves or others from experiencing death. Chronicoms cannot die. Time has no consequence. You should ask yourself which category you fall into.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' So, that's the difference that makes your species more valuable.
->'''Sibyl:''' Less fleeting. With a home planet intact, we will exist long after you're gone. Once you realize that, you'll give up. Or... you'll run out of...
->'''LMD Coulson:''' ...Time. Yeah, you said that. I would argue that you're wrong about three things, if you don't mind.
->'''Sibyl:''' Please.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' First... the difference is sacrifice. Yeah, time is limited... which means sacrifice comes at a real cost... not just data. Heart and pain and blood and sweat and tears... all the good human stuff. And we will never give up.
->'''Sibyl:''' You said I was wrong about three things. What's the third?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Me. You see, I haven't feared death for a long time.
->'''Sibyl:''' Is that so?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Yeah. The fact is, dying... it's kind of my super power.
!The Totally Excellent Adventures of Mack and the D
->'''Deke:''' This isn't a cover band. The band is a cover. Director, I want to introduce you to The Deke Squad. That's Roxy Glass. She runs covert ops and tactical. Kind of the brains of the operation. Alright, y'all ready? Tommy and Ronnie Chang, a.k.a. The Chang Gang. Both masters of disguises, not to mention total honey pots. Olga Pachinko... resistance from the Balkans. Only speaks limited English, though she is fluent in the international language... demolitions. And finally, there's Cricket. Cricket's... well, I mean, mostly, we just really needed a drummer.
->'''Mack:''' Wait, wait, wait. Didn't you tell me that dude was shady?
->'''Deke:''' Yeah, but that was before I found out he had a steady job.
->'''Mack:''' Doing what?
->'''Deke:''' Selling coke. Although, I've never seen him drink any.
->'''Mack:''' Look, I appreciate the effort you put in. I really do. But this is terrible spy-craft to be this high-profile.
->'''Deke:''' Exactly. That's the whole point. Think about the practical applications. We move freely from town-to-town. Big cases of high tech "equipment" are part of the gig. And any strange behavior, they just chalk it up to drugs.
->'''Mack:''' Like coke?
->'''Deke:''' The drink? I don't follow.
!After, Before
->'''Deke:''' Stand back. There's gonna be a big surge of electricity. Electricity's dangerous.
->'''Sousa:''' Do I look like a Neanderthal to you?
->'''Enoch:''' I spent time with a tribe of Neanderthals. Agent Sousa does not resemble one. He lacks the characteristic brow ridges.
!As I Have Always Been
->'''Daisy:''' You won't believe this, but I keep...
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Repeating the same events over and over again? Yeah. How long did it take you to figure it out this time? I was really hoping not to have this conversation again, but if you forgot everything we went through, I guess that means you died again.
->'''Daisy:''' I died?! ''Again?''
->'''LMD Coulson:''' And always say it just like that. We're the only two who remember, so each time you die in one of these loops, you don't remember anything in the next reset, so then you have to learn everything all over again.
->'''Daisy:''' That's awful.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' It's annoying. 'Cause who has to teach you every time? This guy. I've done it 14 times so far.
->'''Daisy:''' We've done this 14 times?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Oh, no. No, no, no. You've died 14 times. We've been through this loop 87 times, or I should say 87 that I know about.
->'''Daisy:''' That you know about?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' 'Cause you don't come power me up every time! It's okay. Not your fault. P.S., not a big fan of starting each loop powered down. Disconcerting.
->'''May:''' Deke's dead?
->'''Daisy:''' Very.
->'''Mack:''' Do we need to be sad about that?
->'''Daisy:''' We do not.
->'''Daisy:''' Every time I ask you for help, you say yes. Even if I don't ask, you're waiting here to make sure I rest or... whatever. Why? Be honest.
->'''Sousa:''' Honest? I know your type.
->'''Daisy:''' My what, now?
->'''Sousa:''' I know people like you. Some of my favorite people are people like you. Focused on the greater good, even at your own expense. You want people to think you like being alone, even though you always end up back with friends. You hate losing.
->'''Daisy:''' Everyone hates losing.
->'''Sousa:''' Yeah, but you'll keep running at the problem full-tilt until you either solve it or slam headlong into a brick wall.
->'''Daisy:''' Some of those walls are literal.
->'''Sousa:''' I know.
->'''Daisy:''' But how does that...
->'''Sousa:''' Because when people like you run into those walls, you should have someone there to pick you back up.
->'''Daisy:''' And you... you like to... be that someone?
->'''Sousa:''' Not for everyone. It helps if they're fun to be around and if they say what they mean and if they have that superpower where they can rock things around, which is very impressive.
->'''Daisy:''' That's, um... that is awfully specific.
->'''Enoch:''' In my thousands of years observing humans, I never used to feel lonely. I have been alone many times. To be candid, I preferred it. But it wasn't until I met this particular team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that being alone meant... feeling lonely. And I don't care for it. So, I am feeling, as you might expect, some anxiety now.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' You don't have to. You're not alone. Daisy and I will stay with you right up to the end.
->'''Enoch:''' That is very kind of you. But... it's that last part, isn't it? You can stay with me up to the end, but you can't come with me at the end. I will have to leave you. And I will have to do that alone. And I can't help wondering... when that happens... will I feel lonely?
->'''LMD Coulson:''' I can say with some authority that you're not wrong. Dying is lonely. But the feeling is temporary... at least for the person dying. The ones who are left behind... less so. I guess that's the one advantage to going first.
->'''Enoch:''' Yes. It's different, watching your friends go before you, isn't it? I have been through that, as well. It can be harder to stay than to leave. I'm sorry, Philip J. Coulson.
->'''Daisy:''' Enoch, the team will carry on the mission. We will survive because of you. Thank you.
->'''Enoch:''' You are most welcome. But, Agent Johnson, while your friends will indeed survive, the team will not.
->'''Daisy:''' What do you mean?
->'''Enoch:''' I have seen the future. Carry on this mission and cherish it, for it will be your last mission together.
->'''Daisy:''' It... That's... That's not possible. I-I... Enoch, this is my family.
->'''Enoch:''' Of course. Yet this is the nature of family, isn't it? I have seen it countless times on countless worlds. People arrive, so we celebrate, and people leave us, so we grieve. We do what we can with the time in between, but the cycle is always there. No one escapes it. Not even me.
->'''LMD Coulson:''' Which means you're not alone. You're a part of that cycle.
