Nick Fury quotes from Captain Marvel (2019)

View Quote [Fury is looking over the autopsy of a Skrull who'd been impersonating Coulson, accompanied by Talos, who is impersonating Fury's boss]
"Keller": You're saying this thing looked like Coulson?
Nick Fury: Mmm... Talked like him, too.
"Keller": And the woman said that there were...more?
Nick Fury: The word she used was "infiltration".
"Keller": Do you believe her?
Nick Fury: [Referring to the dead Skrull on the coroner's table] Not until I saw this.
"Keller": What's your plan?
Nick Fury: I'll find Blockbuster girl. I got word on a motorcycle thief that fits her description. If she can tell us why those lizards are here, maybe she can tell us how to kick 'em to the curb.
"Keller": Good. Do it alone, though. We can't trust anyone, not even our own men.
Nick Fury: Yes, sir. [Fury leaves]
"Keller": Wow. They are ugly bastards, aren't they?
Coroner: Yeah, well, he's no Brad Pitt, sir. ["Keller" leans down next to the Skrull's head]
Talos: [With his native accent] Safe journey to the beyond, my friend. I will finish what we started. [Talos caresses his colleague's head]
Coroner: I wouldn't get too close there, boss.
Talos: [Switches to his fake American accent] No one in or out.

View Quote [Carol is testing Fury to see if he's a Skrull]
Carol Danvers: This is gonna get a little awkward, but I gotta ask...
Nick Fury: You think I'm one of those green things.
Carol Danvers: Can't be too careful.
Nick Fury: You are looking at 100% red-blooded Earthman.
Carol Danvers: I'm afraid I'm gonna need proof.
Nick Fury: We talking cheek swab or urine sample?
Carol Danvers: No, the DNA would match.
Nick Fury: Want my AOL password?
Carol Danvers: Skrulls can only sim recent memories of their hosts' bodies.
Nick Fury: ...You wanna get personal.
Carol Danvers: Where were you born?
Nick Fury: Huntsville, Alabama. But technically, I don't remember that part.
Carol Danvers: Name of your first pet?
Nick Fury: Mr. Snoofers.
Carol Danvers: Mr. Snoofers?
Nick Fury: That's what I said. Do I pass?
Carol Danvers: Not yet. First job?
Nick Fury: Soldier. Straight outta high school. Left the ranks a full-bird colonel.
Carol Danvers: Then?
Nick Fury: Spy.
Carol Danvers: Where?
Nick Fury: It's the Cold War, we were everywhere. Belfast, Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest... I like the B's. I can make 'em rhyme.
Carol Danvers: Now?
Nick Fury: Been riding a desk for the past six years trying to figure out where our future enemies are coming from. Never occurred to me they would be coming from above.
Carol Danvers: [Thinks for a moment] Name a detail so bizarre, a Skrull could never fabricate it.
Nick Fury: If toast is cut diagonally, I can't eat it. [Long pause; Carol smirks] ...You didn't need that, did you?
Carol Danvers: No. No, I didn't. But I enjoyed it.

View Quote Carol Danvers: [Referring to the front of the baseball cap that Fury has given her] What is this?
Nick Fury: It's a S.H.I.E.L.D. logo.
Carol Danvers: Does announcing your identity with branded clothing, help with the covert part of the job?
Nick Fury: ...said the space soldier who's wearing a rubber suit. Lose the flannel.

View Quote Captain Marvel: Take the Tesseract, leave the lunchbox.
Nick Fury: Me?
Captain Marvel: Yes.
Nick Fury: I'm not touching that thing!
Captain Marvel: You want me to get you an oven mitt?
[A swarm of tentacles suddenly emerge from Goose's mouth, snatching up the Tesseract and devouring it, much to the shock and confusion of Fury, Marvel and Maria. Fury drops Goose in shock, now confirming why Talos was so unnerved around the supposed cat in the first place.]
Captain Marvel: Get the Skrulls in the quadjet and go! Take the Flerken with you!
Nick Fury: What about you?
Captain Marvel: I'll buy you some time.
Nick Fury: [Picks up Goose, very nervously] I'm picking you up now. I'm trusting you not to eat me.

View Quote Nick Fury: We have no idea what other intergalactic threats are out there. And our one-woman security force had a prior commitment on the other side of the universe. S.H.I.E.L.D. alone can't protect us. We need to find more.
Coulson: More weapons?
Nick Fury: More heroes.
Coulson: You think you can find others like her?
Nick Fury: We found her and we weren't even looking.
