Phil Coulson:  I know it was a risk . If we went down today , we 'd probably be down for good . But now we have a chance to survive . We have soldiers willing to sacrifice , but they need weapons . The enemy has the advantage . We need one of our own .
Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: You risked that for a quinjet ?
Phil Coulson: No . For what we can do with _ one _ . Disappear . Become ghosts . That 's how we have to live now ... in the shadows , to save people , even when they do n't know it , do n't want it .
