Fury Road: Jukebox Hero*
"Fury: OK. Your turn. Prove you're not a Skrull.
[Carol calmly blasts energy out of her fists towards a jukebox
on the opposite side of the room before resting her head
back on her fist. Fury continues to look towards the jukebox,
both concerned and confused]
Fury: And how is that supposed to prove to me that you're not a Skrull?
Carol: It's a photon blast.
Fury: And…?
Carol: A Skrull can't do that. So a full-bird colonel turned spy turned
SHIELD agent must have pretty high security clearance. Where's Pegasus?
[The scene changes to a black car driving through an empty highway
next to a mountain, before changing to the inside of the car showing Fury
driving and Carol in the passenger seat]
Fury: So the Skrulls are alien races which infiltrate and overtake alien planets.
And you're a Kree, a race of noble warriors.
Carol: Heroes. Noble warrior heroes."
