- Gideon Malick: I believed that I could resurrect a god. But instead, I freed the Devil.
- Phil Coulson: Only technically. I mean, all the ancient Satanic creation myths, they were based on him, which you knew.
- Gideon Malick: The Devil promises everything and then lets you destroy your own world. I sacrificed my brother to him. Still, he took my daughter. And that image... of her body lying on that floor... I failed her. What else matters?
- Phil Coulson: What you do next matters.
- Gideon Malick: [chuckles] Are you trying to sell me on the idea that I can set everything right?
- Phil Coulson: I'm trying to sell you on revenge. I have an image, too, of a body on the floor... Rosalind Price. Love turned to rage in that moment. So I hunted down and murdered Grant Ward. Not to serve any good. Not to serve any belief. I wanted revenge. I wanted to feel him die. That's the sin that gave your Devil new life.
- Gideon Malick: To come and take everything we love.
- Phil Coulson: Let it turn into rage. Tell me how to stop him.
- Gideon Malick: This god has outlived...
- Phil Coulson: I've met gods. Gods bleed.
- Gideon Malick: I never saw my last rodeo being with S.H.I.E.L.D... What would you like to know?
- Phil Coulson: Start with everything.
- Gideon Malick: He killed her, cares nothing for us!
- Phil Coulson: Doesn't sound like a god.
- Gideon Malick: Oh no, Mr. Coulson, it IS a god, just not ours.
