30 Best Nick Fury Quotes

Loki: [pinning Fury down] You and your replacement Avengers fought valiantly, but now I think it's time you told me all your secrets.
[Black Widow knocks him down]
Loki: I was told you were dead.
Natasha: Same.
[uses the scepter to enthrall him]
Nick: You're not my Natasha, but something tells me you have her spirit.

Nick: You've been very busy. You made your girl your CEO, you're giving away all your stuff. You let your friend fly away with your suit. Now, if I know better...
Tony: [interrupts] You don't know better. I didn't give it to him. He took it.
Nick: Whoa, whoa, whoa. He took it? You're Iron Man and he just took it? The little brother walked in there, kicked your ass and took your suit? Is that possible?
Natasha: Well, according to Mr. Stark's database security guidelines, there are redundancies to prevent unauthorized usage.
Tony: What do you want from me?
Nick: 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. Hit him!
[Natalia injects Tony in his neck]
Tony: [groans] Oh God, are you gonna steal my kidney and sell it? Could you please not do anything awful for five seconds? What did she just do to me?
Nick: What did we just do *for* you? That's lithium dioxide. It's gonna take the edge off. We're trying to get you back to work.
Tony: Give me a couple boxes of that. I'll be right as rain.
Natasha: It's not a cure, it just abates the symptoms.
Nick: Doesn't look like it's gonna be an easy fix.

Sam: 41st floor! 41st!
Nick: It's not like they put the floor numbers on the outside of the building.

MJ: Want to go in, on a pair?
Peter: You mean like sit next to each other?
MJ: Yeah.
Nick: [in Peter's earpiece] Parker, you in position?
Peter: No...
MJ: [Thinks Peter is rejecting her] Okay... no?
Nick: [In Peter's Earpiece] Why the hell not?

Nick: [To Tony Stark] I've got my eye on you.

Nick: Beck! What's your four?
Quentin: Hey William, I need a response!
William: It's all the elementals they've all merged into something...
Quentin: It's something else! Something more powerful! It's storing energy from the earth's core!
Nick: [to Maria] See now that's some bullshit.

Steve: [relieved] Fury, you son of a bitch!
Nick: Whoa ho ho! You kiss your mother with that mouth?

Nick: Stark may be eccentric, but he's got potential.
Natasha: What he has is a hangover.

Nick: You got gifts, Parker. But you didn't want to be here. I'd love to have you in Berlin, but you've got to decide whether you're going to step up or not. Stark chose you. He made you an Avenger. I need that. The world needs that. Maybe Stark was wrong. The choice is yours.

Nick: We have a job to do, and you're coming with us.
Peter: There's gotta be someone else you can use. What about Thor?
Nick: Off-world.
Peter: Doctor Strange
Maria: Unavailable.
Peter: Captain Marvel.
Nick: Don't you invoke her name!
Peter: I'm just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Nick: Bitch, please! You've been to space.

Thor: I thought humans were more evolved than this.
Nick: Excuse me, did WE come to YOUR planet and blow stuff up?

Nick: And this is Mr. Beck.
Peter: Mysterio?
Quentin: What?
Peter: Doesn't matter. It's what my friends have been calling you.
Quentin: Well, you can call me Quentin. You handled yourself well out there today. I saw that you did with the tower. We could use someone like you on my world.
Peter: Thanks. I'm sorry. Your world?
Nick: Mr. Beck is from Earth. Just not yours.
Quentin: There are multiple realities. This is Earth Dimension 616. I'm from Earth 833.
Peter: [excitedly] I'm sorry, you're saying there's a multiverse? 'Cause I thought that was theoretical. That changes how we understand the initial singularity. We're talking about an eternal inflation system. How does that even work with the quantum...? It's insane.
[Fury and Hill look strangely at Peter]
Peter: [embarrassed] Sorry.
Quentin: [humorously] Don't ever apologize for being the smartest one in the room.

Nick: You think you could make Loki tell us where the Tesseract is?
Thor: 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.
Nick: A lot of guys think that. Until the pain starts.
Thor: What are you asking me to do?
Nick: I'm asking, what are you prepared to do?
Thor: Loki is a prisoner.
Nick: Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here?

Laura: I'm sorry. Mr. Stark, Clint said you wouldn't mind but it seems our tractor doesn't want to start at all. Thought maybe you might...
Tony: Yeah, I'll give her a kick
Tony: [Enters barn and approaches tractor] Hello, "Deere". Tell me everything. What ails you.
Nick: Do me a favor. Try not to bring it to life.
Tony: [beat] Ms. Barton you little minx. I get it Maria Hill call you, right? Was she ever not working for you?

[from trailer]
Nick: There was an idea...
Tony: To bring together, a group of remarkable people...
Vision: To see if we could become something more...
Thor: So when they needed us, we could fight the battles...
Natasha: That they never could.

Nick: [at his own grave] If anyone asks for me, tell them I'm right here...

[last lines]
Nick: Oh, no... Motherf...

The: [opening narration] Humanity, so eager, so willing to face the impossible, yet blind to the bigger picture. Inside one week, three strange and separate stories unfolded. A genius battled his demons both inside and out, while the world met the monster hiding in the man. And a godly prince fell to Earth. I am the Watcher. And where humans see chaos, I see the crucible that would transform this collection of individuals into a team of heroes. At least, that's how things played out in one universe. But in this one...
Agent: Sir, we found it.
Nick: Kind of in the middle of something here, Coulson.
Agent: Not sure it can wait, sir. Locals are getting curious.
Nick: Set up a perimeter and tell the team I'm en route.

Natasha: I've got General Ross, a dozen snipers, and a few tanks. What are you dealing with?
Nick: Space vikings.
Natasha: Showoff.

Steve: You just can't stop yourself from lying, can you?
Nick: I didn't lie. Agent Romanoff had a different mission than yours.
Steve: Which you didn't feel obliged to share.
Nick: I'm not obliged to do anything.
Steve: Those hostages could have died, Nick.
Nick: I sent the greatest soldier in history to make sure that didn't happen.
Steve: Soldiers trust each other. That's what makes it an army. Not a bunch of guys running around shooting guns.
Nick: Last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye. Look, I didn't want you doing anything you weren't comfortable with. Agent Romanoff is comfortable with everything.
Steve: I can't lead a mission when the people I'm leading have missions of their own.
Nick: It's called compartmentalization. Nobody spills the secrets, because nobody knows them all.
Steve: Except you.
Nick: You're wrong about me. I do share. I'm nice like that.

[Fury is visiting an imprisoned Loki]
Nick: In case it's unclear, if you try to escape, you so much as scratch that glass...
[Fury hits a button on the machine and opens metal iris panels around the chamber]
Nick: ...it's 30,000 feet straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works? Ant... boot.
Loki: It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me.
Nick: Built for something a lot stronger than you.
Loki: 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?
Nick: 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.
Loki: 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.
Nick: [walks away] Well, let me know if "real power" wants a magazine or something.

[after credits]
[Dr Selvig wanders around an underground base]
Nick: [greeting him] Dr. Selvig.
Erik: So, you're the man behind all this? It's quite a labyrinth. I was thinking that you had taken me down here to kill me.
Nick: I've been hearing about the New Mexico situation. Your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than I am.
Erik: I had a lot to work with: the Foster theory, a gateway to another dimension... it's unprecedented...
[Fury doesn't respond]
Erik: ...isn't it?
Nick: Legend tells us one thing; history, another. But, every now and then, we find something that belongs to both.
[Fury opens a suitcase, which contains a small cube]
Erik: What is it?
Nick: Power, Doctor. If we figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power.
[Loki is seen in a reflection, smiling]
Loki: [whispers to Selvig] Well, I guess that's worth a look.
Erik: Well, I guess that's worth a look.

[after end credits]
Tony: [arriving home] Evening, JARVIS!
Jarvis: [voice distorted] Welcome home, sir...
[Stark stops as he sees a figure in his living room]
Nick: "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.
Tony: Who the hell are you?
Nick: Nick Fury. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony: Ah.
Nick: I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.

Nick: That thing in your chest is based on unfinished technology...
Tony: No, it's finished - it's just never been particularly effective until I miniaturized it and put it in my...
Nick: No, Howard said the arc reactor was a stepping stone to something greater. He was about to kick off an energy race that was going to dwarf the arms race. He was on to something big, something so big it was going to make the arc reactor look like a triple-A battery.
Tony: Just him, or was Anton Vanko in on this?
Nick: Anton Vanko was the other side of that coin - Anton saw it as a way to get rich, and when your father found out he had him deported. When the russians found out he couldn't deliver they shipped his ass of to Siberia. He spent the next twenty years in a vodka-fueled rage, not quite the environment you'd want to raise a kid in - the son you had the misfortune of crossing paths with in Monaco.

Nick: If another person touches that door, you and I will be attending another funeral.

Nick: We have to assume everyone aboard those carriers is HYDRA. We have to get past them, insert these server blades. And maybe, just maybe, we can salvage what's left...
Steve: We're not salvaging anything. We're not just taking down the carriers, Nick. We're taking down S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick: S.H.I.E.L.D. had nothing to do with this.
Steve: You gave me this mission. This is how it ends. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been compromised. You said so yourself. HYDRA grew right under your nose and nobody noticed.
Nick: Why do you think we're meeting in this cave? I noticed.
Steve: How many paid the price before you did?
Nick: Look, I didn't know about Barnes.
Steve: Even if you had, would you have told me? Or would you have compartmentalized that, too? S.H.I.E.L.D., HYDRA, it all goes.
Maria: He's right.
Sam: [Fury glances at Natasha, who gives a quiet indication of the same opinion. Fury then looks at Wilson] Don't look at me. I do what he does, just slower.
Nick: Well... It looks like you're giving the orders now, Captain.

Nick: [sees cops staring at him] Wanna see my lease?

[from trailer]
Nick: Here we all are, with nothing but our wit and our will to save the world! So stand and fight!

[last lines]
[Steve Rogers finds himself in New York]
Nick: At ease, soldier! Look, I'm sorry about that little show back there, but we thought it best to break it to you slowly.
Steve: Break what?
Nick: You've been asleep, Cap. For almost 70 years.
[Steve is silent with shock]
Nick: You gonna be okay?
Steve: Yeah. Yeah, I just... I had a date.

Steve: Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?
Bruce: He'd have to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier.
Tony: Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunnelling effect.
Bruce: Well, if he could do that, he could achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet.
Tony: Finally, someone who speaks English.
Steve: Is that what just happened?
[Stark and Banner shake hands]
Tony: It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.
Bruce: Thanks.
Nick: [to Stark] Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him.
Steve: Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a Hydra weapon.
Nick: I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys.
Thor: Monkeys? I do not understand.
Steve: I do!
[Stark rolls his eyes, while Captain America looks proud of himself]
Steve: I understood that reference.
