Quotes 

• Phil Coulson : I want to make your job easier. Chasing us is a waste of resources, general. We're the good guys, and we can help you catch the bad guys.

  Brigadier General Glenn Talbot : Kidnapping me and tying me up in your honeycomb kill room is not helping your case. Do you think I'm an idiot?

  Phil Coulson : Oh, no. You're the real deal. But you're surrounded by people who constantly underestimate the threat they're up against. Me and my people swore an oath we don't intend to break: to protect the innocent, to watch out for people... people like your son.

  Brigadier General Glenn Talbot : How dare you bring my family into this.

  Phil Coulson : We save lives, including yours, whether you like it or not.

• Brigadier General Glenn Talbot : We witnessed the single greatest intelligence collapse in recorded history, George. We have a duty to the American people to hunt down those responsible. So, no, I don't sleep most nights.

  George Stephanopoulos : General Talbot, you said you have S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel and weaponry locked in a secure facility, so is it fair to say that S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hydra terrorists who poisoned its ranks have been defeated?

  Brigadier General Glenn Talbot : The corrupt institution has been dismantled, yes. We cut down the tree, we pulled up the roots, but let's just say I'll rest easier when we throw it all on the bonfire.
