- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Nice work, D.
- Deke Shaw: Thanks, Mack Daddy.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Nope.
- Deke Shaw: Roger that.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: [about Cricket] Didn't you tell me that dude was shady?
- Deke Shaw: Yeah, but that was before I found out he had a steady job.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Doing what?
- Deke Shaw: Selling coke. Although, I've never seen him drink any.
- Deke Shaw: You know, he single-handedly demolished the Chronicoms, right?
- Phil Coulson: Actually, it cost me both hands.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: But somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna pay.
- Roxy Glass: You mean the robots?
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Yeah, the robots. That's--that's what I meant.
- Melinda May: Good to see you, Deke. You, too, Coulson.
- Phil Coulson: That's really not the reaction I was expecting.
- Melinda May: Simmons gave specific orders to find your hard drive. Said it was our most important asset. I might even agree with her.
- Phil Coulson: Did she mention anything about...
- Melinda May: Building you a new body?
- Phil Coulson: Yeah.
- Melinda May: You'll just have to wait and see.
- Phil Coulson: That's cold, May, even for you.
- Deke Shaw: Hey! Surrender now, and I promise not to make a Speak-and-Spell out of your spare parts. 'Cause that would be embarrassing for a robot.
- Deke Shaw: So what'd you think? It feels like the crowd really responded to my new material.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: I'm pretty sure that last song was from The Breakfast Club.
- Deke Shaw: Not until 1985 it's not. Right now it's a Deke Shaw original.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Deke, this is just like you! You steal something from the future and you pretend you created it.
- Deke Shaw: Oh, let's not bicker over whether or not those are actually my songs.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: They're not.
- Deke Shaw: Now, remember, you're just a friend from my band, okay?
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Yeah, okay, but what instrument do I play?
- Deke Shaw: I don't know. I was thinking maybe... harmonica.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Oh, what? Harmonica? Oh, hell no. No. No, no, no, no. I'm a sax man all the way.
- Deke Shaw: Ugh. Of course the big man plays the sax.
- Deke Shaw: I lost my parents early too. Okay? And I still think about it every day. If you want to talk, I'm here.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: I'm good.
- Deke Shaw: Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! We need a game plan here. What if the Chronicoms are still out there? Maybe that's why we're here.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: You figure it out.
- Deke Shaw: Mack. Mack! You don't have to go through this alone!
- Deke Shaw: Last semester, you got straight A's, you racked up the high score on Ms. Pac-Man... and you cried buckets when you read "Where the Red Fern Grows."
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Wh... That stays between us.
- Deke Shaw: Not making any promises.
- Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: Uncle Marcus's car looks nicer than I remember.
