Past Life (2018)

Jeff Ward: Deke Shaw

Quotes 

• Deke Shaw : Guns, man! It's like cheating! They shouldn't give these to anyone that's not a really, really good person.

  Melinda May : You think there'd be a law.

• Deke Shaw : [shoots a Kree with a gun he found]  Where has this been all my life, right?

  Enoch : Level three hidden in a wall cavity.

  Deke Shaw : Yeah, now you tell me.

• Deke Shaw : I'll go. I'll secure the machine and... save the weird robot.

  Daisy 'Skye' Johnson : Well, I'll come. It'd be better if we take the plane together.

  Deke Shaw : Well. No duh. But one of the time travelers can go, because you all need to be at the rendezvous when it's turned on, do the math.

  Phil Coulson : You're one guy against the Kree. You'll be massively outgunned.

  Deke Shaw : I'm kind of trying to do the whole hero thing here, man. Is that your pep talk? You guys get killed, who saves the world then? I told my parents to not believe in this roach-crap fairy tale, and they went and they died for it anyway. And I'm probably next in line. But there is no way in hell that I'm gonna let some blue Kreeper destroy that machine before I get to see whether or not that damn thing was worth any of this.

  Daisy 'Skye' Johnson : Look, I'm sure you put up a good fight, but if my ride home depends on that machine, I'm gonna secure it myself.

  Deke Shaw : You - you drive me out of my skull, this part of you - this impetuous, bullheaded squabble!

  Daisy 'Skye' Johnson : I was offering backup, genius.

  Deke Shaw : No, when the other side of you is a friggin' hero who can't help herself but do good, then be great. The world needs that person to make it home. Just try not the destroy it when you get there.

  Daisy 'Skye' Johnson : It was almost nice knowing you.

  Deke Shaw : And you're a pain in my ass.

• Enoch : Hello, again. They have located me. Repeat - they have located me.

  Phil Coulson : We copy. You sure they found you?

  Enoch : The evidence is highly suggestive.

  Phil Coulson : We never should have left him alone.

  Melinda May : We're here forever if he loses control of that machine.

  Phil Coulson : Enoch, how long can you hold out?

  [shoots a Kree through the door] 

  Enoch : I calculate 12 minutes.

  Daisy 'Skye' Johnson : What? That is not enough time. That machine activates the Monolith we haven't even built yet.

  Melinda May : We have to go secure the Zephyr.

  Deke Shaw : Oh, damn it. Really? We had to leave the machines in the hands of some automaton? I knew the moment that I laid eyes on all of you that it was gonna spell my downfall.

• Enoch : I think this vessel is too damaged to power the Monolith.

  Deke Shaw : Then what can?

  Enoch : Me. My battery has sustained me for more than 32,000 Earth years. Modifying the cell stack could create a thermal feedback capable of delivering more than enough power.

  Deke Shaw : Thermal feedback? What happens to you in the scenario?

  Enoch : I will expire knowing I returned my friends home. And then my battery chemistry will consume my body in an exothermal reaction violent enough to decimate several levels of the Lighthouse.

  Deke Shaw : So it's not great for the guy that's standing next to you flipping the switch.

  Enoch : That person will be completely atomized.

• Deke Shaw : I heard you were dead! You look good for dead. I mean, you don't look great. But you.. I mean you've been through something, but...

  Tess : It's good to see you too, Deke.
