Agent Keller (Lucas Bryant) Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 6x1 Missing Pieces (2019)
Agent Fox: Keller has a theory.
Agent Keller: Thanks. Well, uh we both have been looking at these locations, - trying to find a connection. [Good.] This park, as well as the city bus with the holes torn through it and the lake that froze solid in the middle of the desert. They all sit on Ley Lines. Energy lines that crisscross the Earth in a sort of pattern. Multiple cultures have believed in some version of this Incan, Aborigine, Native American. Maybe we can use that to narrow the search. And don’t you all look at me like that. You said stupid ideas are welcome. I’m full of them.

Melinda May: You know, your poker face needs work, too.
Elena ‘Yoyo* Rodriguez: I need a poker face while I’m fighting?
May: Doesn’t hurt. But I meant in the meeting today.
Yoyo: What are you talking about?
May: Agent Keller? He’s obviously attracted to you. And you try hard not to laugh at his jokes. I’m betting it’s mutual.
Yoyo: That against the rules or something?
May: No. That’s my point. You should feel free to pursue it, have a drink with him. No doubt Mack’s picking up on it, too, but you shouldn’t have to protect his feelings.
Yoyo: That’s easy to say. How can I not?
May: He’s a grown man.
Yoyo: Look, I’ve tried everything, you know? I was willing to work on it, but…
May: He dove into his job 100%, locked himself in that office.
Yoyo: Mack didn’t close the doors to avoid distractions. He just closed the doors on me.
May: You two have been through a lot. But now it’s been a year, and if last year has taught me anything, it’s that life isn’t meant to be lived alone. I don’t often give advice, but that’s my advice.
Yoyo: Yeah, that was a lot of talking. Are you okay?
May: And besides, Keller’s cute.
Yoyo: Not my type.
May: Like I said, needs work.

Agent Keller: Excuse me. Agent Rodriguez. Uh, Fox and I are eager to chase our wacky Ley Lines theory, but we need time in Control to sort through the data and we need approval from a unit commander and you’re a unit commander, so…
Yoyo: Go ahead. There have been stranger theories that proved to be true.
Keller: Thank you.
Yoyo: Agent May is onto us.
Keller: Really? ‘Cause I’ve been playing it pretty cool. She knows?
Yoyo: Suspects. I may be playing it too cool.
Keller: So, you want to put on the brakes? Call off the night shift? And I was already planning to go full nerd herd this evening anyway, so…
Yoyo: It would probably be wise.
Keller: It’s all good. You know where to find me. We’ll just… We’ll just take some time. ‘Cause it’s wise.
Yoyo: For me. It’s for myself. I’m not afraid of Mack finding out.
Keller: Well, I am. He is not small. Honestly, I’ve too much respect for the guy. I’d much rather we tell him about it than have him stumble on it. He has enough to deal with.
Yoyo: Yeah, and he’s just started to trust you. You don’t want to mess that up.
Keller: I absolutely do not. But it’s your call, however you want to handle it. I’m more than happy to spend my nights alone.
