Nicholas Fury (Earth-616)/Quotes

Grab ol' walrus-face and get movin'! ... If ya drop 'im, make sure he lands on his thick skull!

Wah-Hoo! Hang on Richards! Ol' Fury is here! Just like ol' times!

Me and the Howlers against Rommel's whole blamed desert army? Now you're talking my language, Cap! Do you want me to take the whole squad, or should I leave half of 'em here—in case you wanna mop up all of Germany with 'em??

I figure someone's gotta do the dirty work in this man's war ... and if I was one of the brass, I might be too busy polishin' my medals to have any fun!!

Knock off the questions, Percy! We're expendable, ain't we? Now, let's move!

Every time ya sneeze around here, some jokers slaps a medal on ya!

As long as the war goes on, there'll be others gettin' killed! Others like... Pam! Getting bombed inside of homes... of hospitals... like she was! If we can shorten this.. even by one minute... it'll save someone's life.. somewhere!

OK sunbean! I get the message! Ya wanna play rough, is that it?? And ya feel that only you Nazis know how to do it, huh? Well, I got new for ya, Strucker! Didja ever hear of Valley Forge? Or the Alamo? Or the Marne? Do ya remember what us inferior races did to the Kaiser's goosteppers last time out?

Looks like somebody has to smash HYDRA!!

We beat 'em hands down... but, so what? All I got were nobodies! The big fish can strike again, any time!

All we gotta do now is find the rest o' the squad, break the back of the Kraut occupation here, and make it back ta base in one piece! Nuts! Some day I'd like ta meet the creep who dreams up these missions!

Even a gorilla like me looks good when he's usin' a Tony Stark weapon!

So, you're the guys who are going to take over the world, huh? I bet you can't take over a joker named Nick Fury!

No Hydra Agent's gonna score while Nick Fury's breathin'!

You jokers musta took your boxin' lessons from Mickey Mouse!

Strucker!! So, you finally decided to come out of your rat's nest and meet me eye-patch to monocle!

Ya musta been takin' modesty lessons from Cassius Clay!

Hydra Island was a pushover next ta this job!

Let me tell ya, John Wayne never had it this tough!

We've tangled a lotta times in the past-- but this time it's over! We're calling it quits with you crumbs! Where you're goin' now, you couldn't get out if your name was Houdini!

Pay attention, Mister! While Fury puts the finishin' touches on these chorus boys!

Ain't you heard... Nick Fury's got more lives than a cat!

The Show's Over!

You must'a been born under the sign of the band-aid!

I ain't no Sherlock Holmes, but I had it figured pretty close!

Awright General Ross, we're ready and rarin'... Where's this jolly green emergency of yours?

It wuzn't exactly no bed of roses back in the big one... no matter what nutty movies they make about it nowadays! Mebbe we didn't have the A-Bomb hangin' over our heads... but it never killed anybody deader than a Nazi Luger!

I'm runnin' this show, ya Walrus! So just keep yer eyes peeled... and your yapper shut!

Once a Sergeant, always a mother hen!

Can't trust anyone... can't...! All after me...

Greetin's gents! Fury's the name! Let's get down to business!

You ain't paid to see, lady -- just to follow orders!

Face it Fury ... When it comes to suckers ... You're right up there with Sugar Daddy!

I ain't lettin' my hair grow ... or wearin' no love beads!

I get the idea... The ride's fun 'til the game gets serious... right? Then we all get off an' find something a little friendlier... somethin' that doesn't hurt too much!

I must be goin' crazy! The Super-Patriot is--- me!

I've heard'a days gettin' off to a bad start... but this is ridiculous! I think I better crawl back in the sack an' try gettin' outta the other side!

Dizzy Dames! Sometimes I get the feelin' the world'd be better off without 'em!

She ain't gonna wait forever, Cap!

So, you're the guys who are going to take over the world, huh? I bet you can't take over a joker named Nick Fury!

...Anytime ya wanna play in the Big-Time, you jest let Nick Fury know!

No! Nooooo! No more of the drug--please! Just shoot me and get it over with! I'm beggin' ya!

No Hydra Agent's gonna score while Nick Fury's breathin'!

Nick Fury ain't watchin' the end o' the world in bed, mister! Sick or well, I'm a fighter!

If we're so inferior, von Innsbruck-- how cum we're the guys who're winnin'? No answer? Then I'll tell ya, creep. It's because we believe in individuals-- Not races. Sure we've had our problems-- and we're gonna continue ta have them-- but we believe in people-- an' all you Nazis believe in-- is yerselves!

We learn from our losses, as well as from our wins! Every mission teaches us somethin'! And each month we're becoming a better sharper unit!

I came here to ask Nelson to join S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hiya, Supreme Hydra.

Looks like this is the start of a beautiful friendship!

I suddenly realized Val was one hell of a woman!

Wipe that leer off yer puss, Dugan!

Even you public menaces can occasionally help out us good guys.

Awright, Shell-Head, we've just become a full-fledged international incident! Care to explain just what the hell's goin' on?

He died the way he wanted...in battle, sacrificing himself to save his friends. He died...to save his friends.

Okay, Adolf, This is where you buy the farm! WA-HOO!

Beckley -- your enemy, The Superior as he's now known, is your own brother!

S.H.I.E.L.D. is lies, Val, all lies.

You're one of the guys that hired me to lead S.H.I.E.L.D. Well. I'm here to tell you that your organization stinks now -- like a garbage dump in August.

Take a gander at the screen, Piercey. I figured it out on the mountaintop...we're goin' home.

It's time, troops. Somebody hits the lights.

But you ain't never free... 'cause the dirt never goes away...

When did you start running with dogs, Cap?

Ah, Henry Peter Gyrich -- I should'a guessed. Tell me -- do you National Security Council Guys get a cheaper rate buyin' those sunglasses in bulk?

I'm startin' to understand who gave Tony Stark his drinkin' Problem.

Good luck, you Yahoos!

Fury to S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Force! Contain these Neo-Nazi Freaks immediately!

I didn't interupt nuthin' did I?

Ya always do watcha can---for a fellow soldier.

All right, soldier. Back to the trenches.

I consider you my friend, Captain America. But Steve Rogers is a confused man, and his confusion has led to some terrible things that aren't his fault...

They are going to blink and follow the rules of diplomacy that no one else plays by... and people are going to die. Innocent people are going to die because of this right here. I can't-- I can't go through it again. It's happening all over again.

Politicans. They're the same wherever you go.

Terrorists like Magneto don't deserve a funeral! They deserve to be cut up and fed to dogs!

You're a teacher, a lawyer, a kid on spring break, a bodyguard, and whatever Logan is. And Captain America.

Wolverine was just the warm-up act. Didn't you hear? This is what happened when the moderates were in charge-- What the hell they gonna do now that the lunatics are running the show?

Crazy little psychopath... Hell's he looking for out there anyway?

You are herrrrroes. More than me. Maybe one day you'll llllook around and you'll see the world like I have to, and you'll knowwww I did the right thing. Or at least you'll undersssstand why I did it. Signin' offfffffffff.

Banner may look like a reasonable, thinking man... but he's not.

"I wasn't joking about that Dr. Pepper"

Take my advice and make yourself some of the new life model decoys. About a dozen to start. Start using them. Send them in when you feel that itch on the back of your neck. It's not cheating and it's not cowardly. It's smart thinking.

Now you do what I say. Every day for the rest of your lives...you do what I say. If you don't, you'll die. It's not a threat, it's a statistical fact. ... We'll start with training. Any of you know what a Skrull is?

Okay, Commandos! Let's turn this thing around!

Everything I say to you, is the god's truth. Everything!! You're a soldier!! If I tell you red is green, red is green. That's the game we're playing here, hillbilly, and if you can't handle that, get your ass back behind the 7-11 counter where you belong.

Workin' outs a bitch when you get old, huh?

...I've been workin' for the bad guys the whole damn time.

Your son has claws, too. If they were to be encased in the metal the blade is made of, Daken would be able to take down the hardest of targets... you.

Time to grow up, kid -- time to stop playin' pretty girl and face some hard facts. There are questions you will not get answers to. There are things going on that you do not get to know about. And rest assured, I will never slip up in case you feel like bein' coy.

First? You strap it on tight, son. 'Cause hell's comin'--and I'm comin' right behind it.

Enjoy what time you've got left, Norman...Asgard's the last stop on the crazy train.

I'm done.

My name is Nicholas Fury. Welcome to the Avengers.

Someone's gotta carry that shield... That's a fact. Only question is, how long it's gonna take Steve to realize who it has to be... And you want this, too, Sharon...that's why you aren't gonna tell him a thing.

My son? My friends? Everyone I have ever sent into battle...all the horror? The death--his death...you didn't take anything, Strucker...this is my fault. The blood is on my hands. And I will sleep...when I am dead.

Listen to me... You're going to turn her into something she didn't ask for. If it works...a cross between me and Cap, sure, it sounds great in theory. But the Infinity Formula... It's nothing but a ticket to every friend's funeral. Everyone she'll ever know will die while she watches. Including you.

Well, at least they got it half-right. ... Barnes is way too tarnished now to carry the shield. But never wanted it anyhow. He just wouldn't let anyone else have it. And after that...he was only tryin' to impress you.

None of you need to hear anything from me but thanks... Thanks for a job well done, from your country, from the world, and from me.

You gotta take better care of yourself, Barnes. Youth is fleetin' and take it from me, Avon'll discontinue your beauty cream just--like--that.

Then I'll say it. It doesn't take a super-genius to see what happened here. The Watcher was murdered.

Years went by. Howard Stark was long dead. As far as I knew, so was anyone else who might've ever known what I was doing. More superflock came along. Faster than I could keep count. I thought for a bit they might make me irrelevant. But, well... I love Steve Rogers like a brother. But not every job is for Captain America.

You don't have to try and forgive me, Steve. I'm not asking you to. Years ago, I watched a man die, a man who'd given his life for a greater cause. And with his last words, he asked me if it had been worth it. I didn't have time to answer. I wish now I'd said yes. I wish I'd told him how sometimes to worst of us have to walk point, and do whatever it takes to clear the way, for the best of us to follow. I wish that man met you, Steve. I'm glad I did. Goodbye, Cap.

The champion, the one called Blink, the one called Clarice Ferguson, the secret hope of all Earths, departs. She is little more than a child, but she carries the fate of the Multiverse with her.

At ease, Howlers. Ain't any of us dead just yet. This here's Krakoa. The island that walks like a man.

A new Goblin, just what the world needs. I don't know who's behind the mask this time, but he'd better watch out. I won't have to raise a finger after Parker's been through with the "real" Goblin. Parker won't let another Goblin hurt anyone ever again. I pity this guy, he just picked up the wrong duds.

My son? My friends? Everyone I have ever sent into battle...all the horror? The death--his death...you didn't take anything, Strucker...this is my fault. The blood is on my hands. And I will sleep...when I am dead.

How about this... my name is Fury, kid... and so is yours.

I put all the kids into the Caterpillar database because of their powers and their anonymity. I put you in charge of turnin' them into something I can use.

Sooner or later, all human beings have to face the truth about themselves. The difference between who we are and who we think we are.
