Matt, it's Heather. Are you there? Of course you're not there. You're never there. At least, not for me. Look, I didn't want to do this over the phone, but it's not like you've given me any choice. I mean, It's been three months, and I've never even seen your apartment. Every time we sleep together, I wake up in the morning alone. I mean, Jesus, where do you go at three o'clock in the morning?

Dialogue

Fallon: Jack, it's been a while. Jack Murdock: I don't work for you no more, Fallon. Fallon: Jack, you never stopped. Did you really think you won all those fights on your own? You're forty-two years old! Miller, Mack, Bendis, they're all my fighters... just like you. And now it's your turn to take a fall. Think about your boy, Jack. I'm sure you'll do the right thing.

Dialogue

Matt Murdock: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a week since my last... Father Everett: What the hell are playing at, Matt? You didn't come here for forgiveness. You came for permission, and I can't give you that. Matt: Justice isn't a sin, Father. Father Everett: No, but vengeance is. You see it every day on the street: violence begets more violence. Is that how you want to live your life? A lawyer during the day, and then judge and jury at night. Is that what you want? Matt: Somebody has to do something. Father Everett: But why you? Matt: Because I can. Because I'm not afraid. Father Everett: Well, I'm afraid for you, Matthew. Look, a man without fear is a man without hope. May God have mercy on you for your sins and grant you Everlasting Life, Amen. (sighs) I'm not too crazy about the outfit, either.

Dialogue

Franklin Nelson: Your client, Mister Lee, he made his first payment today. Matt Murdock: That's great. You should be very happy. Franklin: Yeah, it's fantastic. He paid in fluke. Fluke is a fish, Matt. Did you know that? Because I sure as hell didn't. Matt: Mister Lee is a good man, and he... he doesn't have a lot of money, and he goes fishing on the weekends, so I guess that's... Franklin: Yeah, well, I go salsa dancing on the weekends, but I don't shake my ass to pay my phone bill, you know what I'm sayin'?

Dialogue

Franklin: We need some better clients. I'm tired of these pro bono cases. Matt: What is your problem with our clients? We have good, honorable clients, decent people. What's your idea of better? Define "better". Huh? What would be a "better" client? Franklin: "Better" means rich and guilty, okay? Remember how they taught us in law school how to create a moral vacuum, so you can represent people who aren't all necessarily innocent? Matt: That was your best course, as I recall. Franklin: Yeah, well, you don't have a moral vacuum, Matt. You're completely vacuumless.

Dialogue

Elektra: What do you want? Matt: I just wanted to get your name. I didn't want any trouble. Elektra: Look... I don't like being followed. So don't. (she turns to storm off) Matt: Uh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a second, take it easy! (he catches Elektra's hand) Elektra: And I don't like being touched! (she throws a punch; Matt counters and pins her arms) Matt: What don't you tell me what you do like, and we'll start there. Okay? Elektra: You sure you're blind? Matt: Sure you don't wanna tell me your name?

Dialogue

Matt Murdock: Does every guy have to go through all this just to find out your name? Elektra: Try asking for my number.

Dialogue

Kingpin: What's wrong, Wesley? Wesley: Have you seen the papers today? Somebody's been talking. Kingpin: Somebody always does. Wesley, did you know back in ancient times, they would cut the tongues out of their bodyguards their first day on the job? You think that's horrible, don't you? Because you don't like the physical stuff. I do. (he brutally kills one of his guards) Wesley, handkerchief.

Dialogue

Matt Murdock: Where'd you learn how to fight like that? Elektra Natchios: My father. He had me study with a different sensei every year since I was five years old. Matt: Sounds like he wanted to turn you into some kind of a warrior. Elektra: No. Just not a victim.

Dialogue

Matt Murdock: I said I was sorry. What do you want? Franklin Nelson: Details. You owe me that. Matt: Her name's Elektra Natchios. Franklin: She sounds like a Mexican appetizer. Matt: It's Greek, genius. Her father's Nikolas Natchios. Franklin: The billionaire? Matt: Yeah, see? Yes, the billionaire. Franklin: Well, then, as your attorney in this matter, I advise you to marry the woman immediately. Matt: I'll take it under consideration. What do we got? Franklin: Oh, this one's a real winner. Dante Jackson, an ex-con from Queens charged with the August 9th murder of Lisa Tazio, your friendly neighborhood prostitute. Bad news is Jackson was found passed out in an alley holding the murder weapon and enough THC in his lungs to get Staten Island high.

Dialogue

Karen Page: This just came by messenger. It's your invitation to the Black and White Ball at the Grand, plus one. (she smiles expectantly) Franklin Nelson: Plus one? All right! Guess I gotta rent a tux.

Dialogue

Franklin: Natchios owns the Grand Hotel. And Elektra's the reason you were invited to the ball. Matt: She's out of my league. I'd rather just end it before it starts. Franklin: That's gotta be some kind of record, Matt. You just completely bypassed the whole relationship phase. You went right into the breakup. Trying to save some time, huh?

Dialogue

Matt: So, does this mean you want a rematch? Elektra: (smiling) I knew I'd find you. How did you know I wasn't a mugger? Matt: Muggers don't usually wear rose oil or high heels. At least, this far from Chelsea.

Dialogue

Elektra: Wait a second, exactly how many women have you had up here? Matt: Uh, you're my first. Elektra: Good answer. Matt: I thought that was the right answer. Elektra: Look at this!

Dialogue

Mister Fisk, it's Franklin Nelson from Nelson and Murdock... Wesley: Excuse me. You want to talk to Mister Fisk, you make an appointment. Okay? Wilson Fisk: It's all right, Wesley. (to Nelson) I know who you are. You're the blind lawyers from Hell's Kitchen. Franklin: Actually, actually he's the blind one. I'm deaf. Fisk: (chuckles) Give them a card, Wesley. I'm always on the lookout for new blood. Matt Murdock: I'm sorry, Mister Fisk, my partner's a little overzealous. We can't represent you. Fisk: Why's that? Franklin: Yes, why is that, Mister Murdock? Matt: Because we only handle clients who are innocent. Fisk: (chuckles) "Innocent", he says. That's pretty funny. You know, I've learned one thing in all my years in this business. Matt: What's that? Fisk: Nobody's innocent. Nobody. Have a great time at the party. (Fisk a

Dialogue

Elektra: Do you mind? Matt: Uh, no, I just... sometimes it makes people uncomfortable, that's all. Elektra: Not me. But you should know that the only reason I got dressed up for this thing was that I wanted to look beautiful for you. I wish you could see me tonight. Matt: Me, too.

Dialogue

Fisk: I think she's happy. I haven't seen her smile like that since her mother was killed. Poor girl, right in front of her eyes. Natchios: Why do you have to bring that up now? Fisk: History has a way of repeating itself. Natchios: What are you saying? Fisk: Just saying goodbye, old friend. Just saying goodbye.

Dialogue

Dialogue

Bullseye: The Devil is mine. Fisk: Really? I've heard that before, all too many times. But answer me this. How do you kill a man without fear? Bullseye: By puttin' the fear in him. Fisk: Ah... I like that. But first, give Elektra all my best. Is there anything else? Bullseye: Yeah, I want a fucking costume.

Dialogue

Ben Urich: Matt, it's Ben Urich. Matt Murdock: I know who it is. What do you want? Urich: I got a lead on my story. I think that Natchios was set up by the real Kingpin. Matt: Why are you telling me this? Urich: They say the Kingpin doesn't just kill you. He kills your whole family. I think your girl's in trouble. I thought you might know somebody that could protect her.

Dialogue

Bullseye: Fisk was right about you. He said you wouldn't go easy. Daredevil: Fisk? Fisk is the Kingpin? Bullseye: Yeah. That whole red rose thing? He loves that shite. It's not my style. He hired me to kill Natchios, and to gut your pretty girlfriend too. But me, I'm going for the hat-trick. I told him I'd do you for free.

Dialogue

Wesley: There's been a problem. Wilson Fisk: Bullseye failed. Wesley: Correct. Fisk: Send the guards home. Wesley: (confused) B-but, sir... Fisk: I was raised in the Bronx, Wesley. This is something you wouldn't understand.

Dialogue

Wilson Fisk: It's a shame you came here wounded. I would've loved to fight you in your prime. They called you the man without fear. If that's true, why are you afraid to show your face? (pulls off Daredevil's mask and is laughing) No, I don't believe this. No, no. The blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen? Matt Murdock: You killed the only two people I ever loved. Why? Fisk: Business. That's all it ever is, is business. I was working for Fallon at the time. Your father was supposed to throw a fight. And your girl was in the wrong family at the wrong time. It's all business. (long pause) And you've been in my business for too long!

Dialogue

Fisk: You hear that, blind man? Sirens. They're coming for you. Matt: For me? Didn't you hear? The word's out on the Kingpin. They're coming for you. I can hear the police radios from here. Fisk: No, no. I swear, I'll tell 'em who you are. Matt: Yeah? Go ahead. Tell 'em. Tell all the guys at Ryker's all about how you got beat by a blind man. It'll be like blood in the water. Fisk: Oh, don't worry about that. Cause I'll get out. Matt: Yeah, I know. And I'll be waiting. Justice is served.
