Agent Phil Coulson : You're at 114 Solenski Plaza, 3rd floor. We have an F-22 exactly eight miles out. Put the woman on the phone or I will blow up the block before you can make the lobby.
[Luchkov, intimidated, puts the phone between Natasha's ear and shoulder]
Agent Phil Coulson : We need you to come in.
Natasha Romanoff : [tied to a chair] Are you kidding? I'm working.
Agent Phil Coulson : This takes precedence.
Natasha Romanoff : I'm in the middle of an interrogation. This moron is giving me everything.
Georgi Luchkov : [to his cohorts] I don't... give everything.
Natasha Romanoff : Look, you can't pull me out of this right now
Agent Phil Coulson : Natasha, Barton's been compromised.
Natasha Romanoff : Let me put you on hold.
[Phil patiently holds while Natasha whips butt]

Thor : We on Asgard pretend that we are more advanced, but we, we come here battling like Bilgesnipe.
Agent Phil Coulson : Like what?
Thor : The Bilgesnipe, you know; huge, scaly, big antlers. You don't have those?
Agent Phil Coulson : Don't think so.
Thor : They are repulsive, and they trample everything in their path.
-
Natasha Romanoff : [on the phone] Where is Barton now?
Agent Phil Coulson : We don't know.
Natasha Romanoff : But he's alive?
Agent Phil Coulson : We think so. I'll brief you on everything when you get back. But first, we need you to talk to the big guy.
Natasha Romanoff : Coulson, you know that Stark trusts me about as far as he can throw me.
Agent Phil Coulson : Oh, I've got Stark. You get the big guy.
Natasha Romanoff : [realizing he means Bruce Banner, stops dead in her tracks] Bozhe moi.
[Russian for 'My God']

Agent Phil Coulson : You're gonna lose.
Loki : Am I?
Agent Phil Coulson : It's in your nature.
Loki : Your heroes are scattered, your floating fortress falls from the sky... where is my disadvantage?
Agent Phil Coulson : You lack conviction.
Loki : I don't think I...
[Coulson shoots Loki with his BFG, causing Loki to be blown through the wall behind him]
Agent Phil Coulson : So that's what it does.
-
Pepper Potts : Come on in. We're celebrating.
Tony Stark : Which is why he can't stay.
[flashes Coulson phony smile]
Agent Phil Coulson : We need you to look this over as soon as possible.
Tony Stark : I don't like being handed things...
Pepper Potts : [cuts Tony off] That's fine, because I love to be handed things.
[Pepper exchanges her champagne glass for Coulson's tablet]
Pepper Potts : So, let's trade.
[She takes Tony's champagne and gives him the tablet]
Pepper Potts : Thank you.
Tony Stark : [to Coulson] Official consulting hours are between 8 and 5 every other Thursday.

[In a Quinjet, Agent Coulson walks to Steve Rogers who is seated and looks at Bruce Banner's file on his laptop]
Steve Rogers : So this Doctor Banner was trying to replicate the serum that was used on me?
Agent Phil Coulson : A lot of people were. You were the world's first superhero. Banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula.
[Steve watches the footage of the Hulk's attack on the Army at Culver University and the Hulk roars with fury as he slams a jeep apart]
Steve Rogers : Didn't really go his way, did it?
Agent Phil Coulson : Not so much. When he's not that thing though, guy's like a Stephen Hawking.
[Steve looks puzzled, not understanding the reference]
Agent Phil Coulson : He's like a smart person. I gotta say, it's an honor to meet you, officially. I sort of met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping. I mean, I was... I was present while you were unconscious from the ice. You know, it's really, it's just a... just a huge honor to have you on board.
Steve Rogers : Well, I hope I'm the man for the job.
Agent Phil Coulson : Oh, you are. Absolutely. Uh... we've made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input.
Steve Rogers : The uniform? Aren't the stars and stripes a little... old-fashioned?
Agent Phil Coulson : With everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old-fashioned.

[Nick Fury and Dr. Bruce Banner shake hands]
Nick Fury : Doctor, thank you for coming.
Bruce Banner : Thanks for asking nicely. So, uh... how long am I staying?
Nick Fury : Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the clear.
Bruce Banner : Where are you with that?
[Nick Fury turns to Agent Coulson to explain, while Natasha Romanoff eyes an image of Clint Barton on a computer screen]
Agent Phil Coulson : We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. Cell phones, laptops. If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us.
Natasha Romanoff : That's still not gonna find them in time.
Bruce Banner : You have to narrow the field. How many spectrometers do you have access to?
Nick Fury : How many are there?
Bruce Banner : Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm based on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for me to work?
Nick Fury : Agent Romanoff, would you show Dr. Banner to his laboratory, please.
[Natasha nods and walks off, leading Banner down the hall]
Natasha Romanoff : You're gonna love it, Doc. We got all the toys.

[Nick Fury goes over to the fatally-wounded Coulson]
Agent Phil Coulson : I'm sorry, boss. The god rabbited.
Nick Fury : Just stay awake. Eyes on me.
Agent Phil Coulson : No. I'm clocked out here.
Nick Fury : Not an option.
Agent Phil Coulson : It's okay, boss. This was never going to work... if they didn't have something... to...
[Agent Coulson looks away and sighs his last breath. Nick Fury looks on grimly at Coulson]
Nick Fury : Agent Coulson is down.
Unknown SHIELD Agent : Paramedics are on their way.
Nick Fury : They're already here.
[Maria Hill listens on her headset, as do Captain America and Iron Man from another room]
Nick Fury : They called it.

[from trailer]
Agent Phil Coulson : [to Hill] I think we need to time-out.

Loki : The humans think us immortal. Should we test that?
[as Loki is about to send Thor out of sight, Phil Coulson enters, knocking a bad guy out. He's holding a very large gun]
Agent Phil Coulson : Move away, please. You like this? We started working on the prototype after you sent the Destroyer. Even I don't know what it does.
[fires his very large gun up]
Agent Phil Coulson : Do you want to find out?
[gets impaled in the back by Loki]
Thor : [pounds on prison glass] NOOOO!
[Coulson falls to his ground, dying]
