Season 1

Promises [1.02]

Fury: Well, me and my mama used to take these long train rides to Detroit. Now, train travel back then wasn't nowhere near this elegant. Coming out of Alabama, we always had to ride in the colored car. It was hot, sweaty, bathroom didn't work half the time. Now, we couldn't go in the dining car, so we brought fried chicken, white bread, deviled eggs... poundcake in a shoebox! Half hour after the train pulled out, that chicken be gone! Smelled way too good to wait. On these long rides, me and my mother would make up games, pass the time. "Tell Me Somethin’ I Don’t Know", that was one of her favorites. And one time, she said "Tell me somethin' I don't know about you and Susie." Me and Susie had a standing game of Doctor we'd been playing behind Old Man Jackson's barn. Suffice it to say, I wasn't about to tell her about that. So, I made up something crazy like "Me and Susie saw a bullfrog with polkadots!" My Mama'd just smile, even though I'd lie through my teeth. The mere fact that I did that told her everything she needed to know about about me and Susie.

Fury: Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa! You’re tellin’ me there’s a million Skrulls walking amongst us right now? Have you lost your reptilian-ass mind?

Talos: I sent out the call and every Skrull that isn’t in Emperor Drogge’s colony, they answered.

Fury: You lied to me!

Talos: Hey, we were being hunted across the universe. I had two choices, I could let my people be annihilated, or summon’em here to Earth. What would you have done?

Fury: This ain’t about me!

Talos: Oh, right, but you’re fine using us as your spies and your errand boys, long as it’s on your terms.

Fury: The host gets to set the terms of the visitation.

Talos: What happens when the host disappears, huh? ‘Cause you were gone! And I didn’t think you were coming back, I really didn’t. And even when you did come back, there was no talking to you about anything real. Your boots barely hit Earth. And, "Oh, it’s too heavy here, man. I gotta go up to my space station." You’ve been up there for years!

Fury: You knew how to get in touch with me, Talos! And you didn’t, because you didn’t want me to know.

Talos: My hope... My hope is that with your help... Skrulls and humans can coexist, here on Earth.

Fury: Human can’t coexist with each other! You’ve been here long enough to know that! We’ve been at war with each other since we could walk upright! There is not enough room or tolerance on this planet for another species! Matter of fact, neither is this train compartment! I think this is your stop.
