Christmas: Director Fury, Agent Coulson, I'd like to thank you for all your meritorious service in saving the world against all threats, both foreign and domestic.
Fury: And to do this, you're giving us a Girl Scouts Crunch Bar?
Coulson: Hang on, sir. It's flavored with Caramel and Coconut, just like the Samoa cookies you've always liked.*
Fury: Still, he's associating S.H.I.E.L.D. with the Girl Scouts!
Coulson: They do operate on a quasi-military structure.
Fury: The term Girl Scouts doesn't exactly inspire fear or respect like S.H.I.E.L.D. does though.
Coulson: Oh, I don't know. They do sell a lot of cookies each year, so they must be doing something right.
Fury: Very well. Tell Christmas Dalek that his present is adequate for this year.
Coulson: I think he's gone, sir.
Fury: Come to think of it, he did look as if he was trying to hide behind this candy bar.
Coulson: It's you, sir. He's afraid of you, while he's awed by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s accomplishments.
Fury: Ah, the most satisfying present of all.
*The Girl Scouts now label their cookies as Caramel Delights. Perhaps in addition to S.H.I.E.L.D., they're also afraid of incurring the wrath of the sovereign Samoan island nation?
