Big Al: You know you can get shoes at the shelter on East 13th. Danny Rand: Okay. Big Al: Just make sure you piss in 'em first. [Danny gives him a look] You know, they carry the bad juju from the previous owner. Only way to get rid of 'em is with your piss. Or or the blood of a she-goat. Uh, that's hard to find around here.

Big Al: Plenty of food if you know where to look. That's where it all went wrong. Danny: Where all what went wrong? Big Al: All mankind. It's true. For like a couple of million years, we were all hunters and gatherers. Life was good. People grew strong and tall and lived into their 70s. Then, like 10,000 years ago they all got hit with the idiot stick and decided to start farmin', build cities, and everything went to shit. Danny: Yeah. Big Al: Not me though, no way man. I'ma stay true to my purpose, I'm a hunter gatherer. Danny: You're lucky then. Buddha said "Your purpose in life is to find your purpose." Big Al: Sure, that makes sense. What's your purpose? Danny: To protect K'un-Lun from all oppression. Honor the sacrifice of Shou-Lao the Undying.

Harold: The first rule of war and business is to know your enemy. Ward Meachum: Yes, you've told me that, but in this case... Harold: Have you considered this might be someone hired to make us look bad at a time when we don't want to look bad? Ward: Yes, Joy and I have been all through that. Harold: Yeah, much trickier if this actually is young Danny Rand come back to life. Ward: That's impossible. Harold: Stranger things have happened. If this is Danny... Ward: Dad, come on. Harold: Think! Ward: If this is Danny, we can't let him go public. Harold: No, no we cannot. Now, there are other questions to consider as well. If he's still alive, does that mean his parents are still alive? Who else knows he's alive? What does he know? Who has he told? How the hell did he learn martial arts? Why has he waited this long to show up? Huh? And now that he's here, what does he want? Ward: I don't know. Harold: Neither do I. Which is why you can't just send some idiot to beat the shit out of him, und

Joy Meachum: You know, my brother's a very black-and-white kinda guy. Something's either true or it isn't. I'm a little more... open. Danny: Meaning? Joy: You look like Danny Rand. Danny Rand is dead. Maybe the truth is somewhere in between. Danny: If you wish to hear the truth, hold no opinions. It's a Zen saying.

That what they tell you? 72 hours? [chuckles] Me, I had a little incident inside a pharmacy. 72 hours later, I'm a bipolar with mixed affective episodes layered atop a substance abuse disorder. That was two years ago. Billy was living under a bridge. 72 hours later, he's a paranoid personality disorder. That was just over a year ago. And Jimmy was screaming at people in Times Square. 72 hours later, he's a schizoaffective disorder. He's been here almost 15 years. Don't think you'll be any different.
