It's nice to think Fury has space in his life for friends. Clint's not so sure that's actually the case now. But Coulson knows the man better than he ever will, so he'll defer to experience on this one.

And focus. "Did you remember anything about--I mean, you remember what happened to you. Did you have any weird, inconsistent memories about actually surviving, getting on a plane to go take some dream vacation for your troubles?"

Which is not following his own arbitrary rules he just set up, but too bad, he knows so little about Coulson's actual lived (or fictional) experience.
