How come all you professional bad guys use the same cornball dialogue? Do you all study from the same manual? 
If threats could finish me off, the world would have been Daredevil-less months ago, loudmouth!
Rompin' around town in a costume may not be the safest job of all -- but it has its good points -- at least, I don't have to squander my hard-earned shekels on cab fare! -- or worry about getting caught in traffic jams!
No police sirens! No cries for help!...nothing! Not even some little kid blowing his Dick Tracy whistle! If this keeps up, I may end up chasing up a litterbug... if I'm lucky!
You must be real proud of yourselves, gents... With a little luck, you may actually defeat a blind man... if you work together!
Did anyone ever tell you that you have a hostility syndrome? I'd better show you what happens to people who talk so nasty! For your own good, of course!
I'm afraid I out-smarted myself when I took on a third identity -- that of my own "twin brother", Mike! I never dreamed it would lead to such embarrassing complications! Now, my partner and best friend thinks I'm a coward and the girl I love has lost all respect for me! It's lucky I can make it as a super-swinger -- 'cause as a diplomat, I'm one big washout!
I might as well be philosophical about all this! If I was meant to have a weapon, I'd have been born with a holster!
Sometimes I think I was born to be Daredevil -- and Matt Murdock is the identity that's not for real!
My problem isn't Daredevil -- and never was! It was always Matt -- the blind lawyer -- the hapless, helpless invalid! He's been my plague... since the day I first donned a costume! Then, let Matt Murdock no longer exist!!
"Make a run for it"? With dialogue like that, you should thank me for putting you away, before you're laughed off the street!
Death's Head? That's two skull-faced baddies I've encountered in a row! DD, ol' boy, you're in a rut...!
Taste... touch... smell... hearing... all my senses were heightened! Except perhaps for that secret ingredient called... common sense! Why else would I never have told you before... that I love you?
From here on, I've got to play it by ear! And when br'er Daredevil says that... he means it!
Mister, if there's anything I hate worse than a crook--It's a crook with a badge--Any badge!
Rain! Let's hope it'll cleanse you of your memories and your fears, Matthew. Fat chance! Right? Memories of lost-love and a girl named Karen Page will never leave---never!
Y'see Mister- With me, it is personal -- Somebody hurt a lady friend of mine -- and that somebody is going to pay!
What you saw... was the life of a super hero compressed into a few terrifying seconds.
When a person lies, his heartbeat accelerates... and my hearing... is sensitive enough ... to detect that change.
This costume makes me a bit more willing to believe other people can also have special abilities.
I can't voucher for the accuracy of tv news reporting, Wally, but at least the news won't be altered by criminals. Though, I think all people should learn to get their news from many sources -- tv, radio, newspapers, magazines -- to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future.
Fortunately for me, I'm not a cop. So, I can break your face into a jigsaw puzzle if I want to...
The idea of being a prizefighter mixed with gangsters... refusing to take a dive ..! Somehow it's all ... part of me!
We're only human, Billy. We can be weak. We can be evil. The only way to stop us from killing each other is to make rules, laws. And stick to them. They don't always work. But mostly, they do. And they're all we've got.
And I guess that's what it all comes down to, Bullseye... when I fight you, and beat you, and know deep in my heart that I'm right in what I do... when I hate you and your kind so fiercly I could cry... when I can see that you are black and evil and have no right to live... when, at long last, I've got you set squarely in my sights... and I smell your fear... and it is sweet to smell... when it comes to that one final, fatal act of ending you... my gun has no bullets. Guess we're stuck with each other, Bullseye.
He's strong, fast, tough and basically intelligent. He's probably absolutely ruthless. He may be the most dangerous man I've ever met.
You've got a weapon under that coat! If you reach for it you'll be sorry --- very, very sorry!
We can do this in one of two ways, gentlemen. You can release Nelson and tell me where Synn is -- or you can -- get hurt -- and then -- tell me -- where is Micah Synn?
... A wise teacher once convinced me that I should never, never ignore strong feelings
The longer I have my sight back, the plainer it is that I value it too much. Maybe enough that I'd do anything to keep it. And that worries me... Because that "profound sense of justice"of mine is even more important to me. There is no place for anything which compromises it. No room for any doubt.
You depress me, Stone. You're slow, stupid, and amateurish. Wise up, friend… …You're in the big leagues, now. …And you just don't cut it!
So you know. So that's why. I never would have connected it to you. nothing about it said gangster--until this. It was a nice piece of work, Kingpin. You shouldn't have signed it.
My life would be a lot easier without us locking horns! But I'm not trying to do the easy thing but the right thing! And that's why the Kingpin must be allowed to return.
Foggy, if only you knew in what high regard I hold you-- what a stabilizing influence you've been on my often turbulent life.
As a physician you save lives one at a time, but -- and I don't mean this in a boastul way -- I've saved this entire city in one fell swoop before. Thousands of lives in a heartbeat. Something to consider.
He must had a pepperoni pizza for lunch, because there's a distinctive aroma about him that can't be missed.
What a life... ... After the events of the last few months, it's conforting to just be doing the rooftop waltz across the kitchen.
God only know why I spend my nights dressed like this, leaping tall buildings in a single bound.
If you knew what Hitler would eventually do, would you have killed him as a child?
You get a pass this time. But don't make too much of it. Next time the hammer falls it'll be for good, Castle.
Castle calls in his "war." It's more like his neurosis. He'd wash the streets in blood.
I'm trying to be civil about this. Trying to remain calm. But I'm giving you 'til the count of five to stand back and stop all this ninja nonsense. 1... 2... 5...
I hate this ninja crap. I hate it. Every single time it's nothing but lies, half-truths, and misguided loyalties.
Vision... It's something I speak of in the abstract. It's something I have only when I'm dreaming... ...or when I'm playing music... ...or when I'm listening to it. Vision is something that I have only in the eye of my mind. Her laughter... Her scent...it moves through me...invisible... ...like the wind. Will I see her again? Or will she remain... ...an echo?
The Punisher is my nemisis. My opposite number. I was wrong to bring others into the hunt. I wasn't meant to lead. I was meant to work alone. It's better this way. This way I'm the one taking the risk. The only one who gets hurt.
Obviously, anyone can put on a Daredevil costume and pretend to be Daredevil. But the question we must all address is... how can we be sure that he's the real Daredevil?
Well it's good news Tuesday for you -- The autopsy on the girl came back and you are officially not a suspect.
Sometimes, I think I accomplish more with my fists than with my law firm. Sometimes, I don't really care. All I know is that the Kitchen's quiet tonight......and that's good. Thanks, Pop. Happy father's day.
Maybe that's my problem. I've always been running after something......when I should have had the good sense to run away. Ah well. No use crying over spilled toxic waste.
Santerians did one hell of a number of me. Perhaps it's time for me to rethink things...? ...Just a little.
My father was a good man. A good man caught up in a bad situation. A bad situation that eventually brought him loneliness. Loneliness that introduced him to the bottle. Which made him do bad things. Which brought him right back to the bottle. This place, this place was a turning point for both of us. My father, my hero, beating on the local butcher, extorting money for the neighborhood wise guy. It was the first time my father ever saw himself through my eyes. It was the beginning of my seeing the world through his.
Battlin' Jack Murdock was my father. Battlin' Jack wasn't perfect. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Battlin' Jack did some terrible things for some very bad men. But when push came to shove......Jack gave the middle finger to those bad men. Perhaps he'd grown sick of the scum he had kowtowed to. Or perhaps he just couldn't stand the sight of his own reflection in his little boy's eyes. But one day Jack Murdock dug deep and found that part of himself that used to be noble and good and uncompromised by the world. He found his soul. And with that......he saved mine.
I've got a coat that still smells exactly like my father. Have to keep it in a box in my attic. If I smell it--up close--it's like he's still here...just for a minute.
You think I care you're a federal agent? You shot my friend. I can make that pain go away... or I can make it a lot worse.
I should live in a cave. I should live in a cave and have no friends. No family. I should care about no one. Just live in a cave and go out at night to break bones and teeth... ...but then...I'd probably be even more crazy than I already am...
I'm a blind lawyer with a history of incarceration and personal tragedy. What in that make-up makes you think I have a sense of humor?
I want to know if your offer is still open. Do you still want me to join you? To lead The Hand? Then I accept.
The time for waiting is over! From this day forth, The Hand will no longer hide in the shadows! We will take back the streets! Starting here -- in Hell's Kitchen!
PEOPLE OF NEW YORK! HEAR THIS! Hell's Kitchen is now under protection of The Hand! Any and all criminals will be dealt with ruthlessly -- by they citizen, police, or H.A.M.M.E.R.!
I've learned. You taught me. Taught me that the only way to win... is without compromise.
Been walking a while now. Weeks, maybe. Always south, southwest, orienting by the feel of the sun on my face. Took the bus for as long as I could stand it. The noise, the stench--too much. But out here in the badlands there's nothing. It's what I need. Nothing. Nothing but the hiss of the wind in the needlegrass and the endless, hypnotic tread of boot heels on dusty asphalt. Nothing to fear. I don't think about what I'm walking away from. I don't think about anything at all. I just walk.
You think you can...turn me into a blubbering wreck...by preying on my fears...But I've already faced them--and come out the other side! You understand me, Calavera? I know what I am...Who I am...And I am not afraid!
It has been a miserable last few years. And every time I thought I'd finally hit bottom, God somehow found me a bigger shovel. All this pain and all this loss and... and I just can't bear the weight of it anymore and stay sane. I know that. So this is the way I've decided to be. You can say I'm in denial. You can decide I'm not dealing or that I'm a jerk... That's up to you. No offense, but I don't care. This is how I choose to cope.
Here's why I never make dinner reservations. Or buy theater tickets. Or, basically, make any social commitments that require me to be punctual. Because 24/7, no sooner do I step out onto the street -- than the calls start coming in.
Knowledge is power, Austin. Yeah, they'll stop at nothing to take it away from me. But until they do...that makes me the most dangerous man alive.
The best is how proud I am of these miracle kids. For right now, all I want to do is get them back where they belong at Christmas. Home. To be with their parents.
"Man without fear", they call me. Only because I'm blind. If I could see half the stuff I get myself into. I'd be scared brown.
Information is power, Frank. The drive holds more power than any one person should command. You don't know what damage you could do, even unintentionally. You've always targeted those you perceive as guilty. This would claim innocents as well. The answer is the same. The answer is no.
Here's why I enjoy being called "The Man Without Fear." Not because it's self-aggrandizing -- I do have moments of humility -- but because it's a constant reminder to go big or go home. You want to rattle your enemies and scramble their strategies? Figure out your least predictable option -- and do that.
The gas. It's dulling my senses -- no -- eliminating them. Taste and smell are gone...and judging by the growing numbness around a broken rib that should be agonizing, touch is fading, too.
Now that Beltane's taken my hypersenses, the trauma is triggering a decades-old response in my brain. It's compensating again.
Even I can't find the words to express my rage and disgust, and I am very good at that. Every victim in the room is screaming as if caught in the fires of hell itself. And if they're looking to me for any sort of relief at all, I wish I could tell them...that it's coming.
If you're that convinced that I have been in no way compelled to atone for my sins... Then you don't know me at all.
Wait. That stench. It's positively rancid on these guys and while I smelled it only once, over twenty years ago there's no way I could ever forget it. My God. Oh, my God. It's the toxin that BLINDED ME. No wonder they're berserk. Whoever did this to these poor bastards must have set them loose in the city--where their hypersenses would drive them insane!
Bullseye, the world's deadliest man. An invalid kept alive by machines. If all that's left of you is your sick twisted mind, I can imagine no more fitting punishment. I'd call that a victory. Wouldn't you?
I don't owe you after yesterday. I can't be sure I ever owed you anything. I'm not racking up medical debt to settle some imaginary obligation. No, we're going to get you upand about so that I can pick you clean of absolutely anything else you may have picked up about the Sons of the Serpent. Because if they really have infested the institutions of this city... Then I'm going to clean house.
Listen to me. Something's happening in this city. We all feel it. No one is certain of anything anymore and I think a little trust would go a long way here.
This is not New York. I'm not a stranger to San Francisco. I actually lived here for about a year. But that was a long time ago, and it's changed. A lot. I really need to reacclimate myself since it's my new home and all but now isn't the time.
I can't read your heartbeat-- And I don't know if that means you've perfected lying-- Or if you just don't know the difference anymore. Please leave while I'm unsure.
Shut up. I am quite the expert on self-destructive despair. I know exactly what it's like to have nothing. To have taken from me all the light there is. I can spend the rest of the night going, for your benefit, through the impossibly long list of tragedies I have faced. All the loves I have lost. All the hopeless moments.
I try to. I've been trying to. I thought I could. But it's impossible. I'm not strong enough. Happy Matt is just an act. That's all it ever was. And I can't pull it off anymore.
You're telling me you didn't enjoy that? After a day in the courtroom, you probably needed a run as much as I did.
Villains have come and gone... But there were some battles that never ended. So we rush on. And remind ourselves to be fearless when you're fighting justice.
Dammit -- they're doing their disappearing act. They're getting awa-- Wait. What the Hell am I thinking? They're doing their disappearing act. Thank God.
Done? My friend, there's no such thing. You think this is the last time Chinatown will need your help? No. This job doesn't end. That's the best thing about it.
That's Castle's justification. Kill people for what they've done, and for what they might do. It's easier for him. Simpler. But there's another way. It's harder, but it's better.
You know me. We've fought each other a hundred times, and you've seen me fight a thousand more. In all that... have you ever seen me surrender?
He knows something's wrong. I can feel him digging in, pushing. He wants to know what I'm hiding. And I have a lot to hide.
That's Castle's justification. Kill people for what they've done, and for what they might do. It's easier for him. Simpler. But there's another way. It's harder, but it's better.
The reason you feel like there's a hole in your memories is because there is. Everyone used to know my identity, and I did something to change that. I'm still the man you trusted. The only difference is now you don't know my name.
I will fight. Forever. For everyone, whether they know it or not. Whether they are watching or not. I will always fight.
Not purple children. The Purple Children. Two of them. Two out of five. But you can't talk about the Purple Children... until you talk about the Purple Man
I get it now, by the way. What you were saying before. I'm my own worse enemy. Maybe. I don't know. It's hard to tell sometimes. I don't see myself the way other people do. To me, a mirror's just a piece of glass. To me, Daredevil's one of the very best parts of my life. To you... he's the obsession that ruined it. We're both right, I think. I am my own worst enemy. That's why I could use a friend.
Hey. The guy who hired you to take over this case after the first hearing back in New York. Was it Wilson Fisk?
Listen -- revenge can feel like the only thing that matters, but I've been down that road. It's empty. Even if you get what you think you want, it doesn't change anything. The past is still the past.
Either somebody took Logan's body, or he was never in that statue in the first place... or he got up and walked away.
You worked for Hydra, Frank. Hydra. Maybe they tricked you or offed you something you needed, but that doesn't change it. You backed the bad guys. That's not something we can just move past. Even by your crazy %$!@ rule book that has to have consequences. Right?
The Owl and the others aren't crime bosses, Foggy. Not right now. Right now, we're at war. And they're generals. Besides, I'm not planning to run for re-election.
Unbelievable. I've fought the Hulk. Ultron. Armies of ninjas. And my obituary almost read, "Daredevil killed by three robbers -- oh, and by the way, he was Matt Murdock, local lawyer and former mayor."
I used to be a lawyer. I've even been to prison. I know what you've gone through, and I'll do everything I can to keep you from going back. The system is broken. You know it, and I know it. But it's the system. It's what we have to work with. So let's get you out of it. Deal?
I've been doing this for so long I thought I could do it on instinct. I've forgotten everything Stick taught us.
I can't be Daredevil again. Daredevil was a mistake, and now... now it's a symbol that's tainted. I was playing at a thing, in a costume, to absolve my actions. I'm just... me now. But I can do so much. God gave me so much... so now I need to give back and show him I deserve this. This neighborhood needs help. I hear it.
Daredevil... Daredevil was a symbol. I tainted it, and they took it back. It was bigger than me. It was always bigger than me. They carried my burden, my sins. But they should´t have to.
I've spent years defending Hell's Kitchen. But I've also been accused of killing Leo Carraro... this man's brother. And because of that... I'm turning myself in to the authorities.
I'm turning myself in... but I'm Daredevil and you're not my moral authority. You've put as many people in the hospital as any of us, and I don't see you being fingerprinted. Now get the #%@ out of my home... before I call the cops.
I'm here to let you know -- to let you all of you know... that I'm listening -- I'm watching -- and even from prison... I'm going to make your lives Hell.
It's simple... I don't trust you. You're a murderer. You use people. You're tired of the darkness? You want to work for the light? Prove it.
What do I have to lose--when I've already lost my freedom? If I stray from who I am--what I need to do--because I'm fearful of repercussions...then I may as well be dead.
Bullseye. There isn't much in the world that would derail me from my path. But you, Bullseye? I'm coming for you.
You're a smart guy. The smartest, even. But maybe you need to stop using that big brain of yours looking at all the angles and instead ask yourself... what's right?
Kid, we're criminals. Our entire vigilante situation is that we sometimes have to go to places where others can't or--
He's here because, in this world, Robert Goldman is the only thing that scares me. I'm the leader of The Fist. I'm the Man Without Fear. So, yes, I'm scared, because normally... I fear nothing... except God.
"Unbelievable loss" -- is Goldy right? Is this the trade-off? A parade of evil destroying everything around me? All to service the idea of Daredevil? Is my entire life the "Trolley problem"? I'm the man who will save thousands on a track -- but I have to pull the lever to send the careening, runaway trolley of my enemies... to everyone close to me...
I'm so far from home. Out of my depth. I feel Cole's unease because it's also my own. Who the hell do I think I am, doing this? Thinking I know what's right? Prophecies and magic. Given by God or against him? I have to believe he's showing me what's right. That I'm his warrior in devil's clothing. But if I'm wrong... I'm taking everyone to Hell with me.
Be a good man. Lift up people who need it. Fight evil where it infects others. Good and evil--ideas I've had a hard time with lately. There are evil actions but no evil men. Just people who have lost their way. That's evil's infection. That's the heart of what I've been trying to do here. But the Hand is different. They're literally hell-born. An infected Frank Castle is different. You don't put instruments of Hell into therapy. You send them home. You send them to Hell.
Sunlight on our faces... as I lie next to her... her scent plays with my heart. Elektra. To sit a moment with you. To sit with love and peace. Maybe it was never for us. Maybe it's just a dream to keep me warm... until I enter the kingdom.
I don't know what I'm walking into. I went to Hell years ago. It was Mephisto's Hell and it felt like a fever dream. This feels different. This is the Beast's realm. Where the Hand begins and ends. And if it's to end... let me end it as the hand of God.
I always have felt a sense of peace when I stand in front of my parish. But tonight, I'm feeling anything but peaceful. I know demons are real... and I know monsters exist. But usually, my little slice of Hell is filled with gangsters and guns, not real devils. I'm the only devil in this Kitchen... and I plan to keep it that way.
God may never have been behind the Fist... but He's behind me. I keep focusing on the wrong things. God is love. The thing that drives me is love. I love Elektra. I love the world, its people... I love my friend. Let love guide you, Matthew Murdock.
We are taught that God is love. And that when we love, we become one with God. Perhaps being the willing sacrifice is the ultimate act of love. To be honest, I never thought I would die this way. But if this is what must be done, I do it with love. As I look up into Echo's eyes, a wave of guilt washes over me... I know deep down that I'm not a savior. I'm the Devil of Hell's Kitchen!
The choice of blind faith. It's how I've lived my entire life. I am blind so that I may see the truth.
Reveal All Devils, the anonymous account that claims to have exposed St. Nick's, started by leaving comments on conspiracy sites all over the web. They then graduated to posting their own hoax news articles. All that activity has left a signature of sorts. It's not long before I have a name. But learning the truth isn't the hard part. The hard part... is that my friend is out to destroy me.
His voice is quiet, but to my ears, it's the haunting wail of a ghost. It doesn't matter that it's a voice from another life. I could live a dozen times and never forget that snakeskin hiss.
I didn't earn a law degree to take second chair to anyone. But necessity is the mother of invention. So I invented Jack. A con man--to keep me connected to the city's shadow side. Disconnected: Matthew M. Murdock, attorney at law. Out of view. Out of practice. The missing half of my particular system of justice. What the courts can't fix, fists can. But what violence can solve--the law should.
What I'm feeling right now is something from scripture: "Therefore put on the full armor of God--so that when the day of evil comes--you may be able to stand your ground. And after you have done everything--to stand." I know who I am. Who I need to be. Both sides. And that is my armor.
God saved me from Hell, but my mortal sins have followed me. Sloth. Envy. Gluttony. That leaves four more. They're out there somewhere right now. But starting tonight, I'm driving the devils out of the Kitchen. Those born of Hell... and those born of Earth.
I've fought Wolverine before. Each time... I've been lucky to walk away. The man doesn't hurt the way normal people do. It's like fighting a slab of meat... wrapped around a lead pipe.
Day is turning into night. And the screams have changed. They're not just frightened... they're being hunted. Because things come out at night.
You... you guys have every right to be pissed at me. To hate me. I deserve all of it and more. But I still need your help. Because the Kingpin is coming for Hell's Kitchen.
It's a cheap ploy meant to throw me off, I tell myself. But it works like a charm--because I can hear in Fisk's voice that it's not a bluff or a lie. Which means the most violent man I've ever met has kidnapped a child I was supposed to protect.
God granted me this gift--a new, holier life. But I've been a coward. Been afraid to fully live that life. Beholden to old ways. Fisk was right about one thing: It's time I stopped mocking God by pretending to be something I'm not. Every man's work... will be revealed by fire... and the fire will test the worth of every man's work.
Never a dull night in the Kitchen. Not with all these witches about... never mind the Devil himself.
Don't know if I can kill it. Don't know if it can be killed. But no one likes a boot to the face.
Oh. Failing. Right. You mean by pulling yourself up out of a suicidal depression by faith and sheer force of will to become a force for good on this planet? We should all fail so tragically.
As Daredevil, I get to save the world. As a lawyer... maybe I can fix it. I need them both. That's what I realized. The warrior and the lawyer. It doesn't work if I only have one.
| Matt Murdock | I couldn't help hearing the police taking you away, sir! If you should need a lawyer, here's my card! |
| Karen Page | Mr. Murdock! We were getting so worried about you... in this big crowd...! |
| Matt Murdock | I'm okay, Karen! I was just, eh, trying to drum up some business!! |
| Daredevil | What's with you, fella? Don't you ever smile? |
| Spider-Man | How can you tell I'm not smiling -- under my mask? |
| Daredevil | How do you know I haven't got X-Ray eyes? |
| Daredevil | I'll take a short-cut over this building on Madison Avenue and...Uh Oh! |
| Stan Lee | Daredevil! Man, what a surprise this is! You're the last fella I expected to see! |
| Daredevil | Can't stop now, Stan...I'm in a hurry! |
| Stan Lee | But wait! If ol' Gene finds out he missed you..! |
| Daredevil | He'll get over it! See you around, Tiger! |
| Stan Lee | Okay! Hang loose, hero! |
| Thor | What manner of mortal art thou? |
| Daredevil | Well, my friends call me a real pussycat -- but they may be prejudiced! |
| Karen Page | You and Matt are so much alike -- and yet -- so totally different, too! |
| Foggy Nelson | Yeah-- Matt shuts up once in a while! |
| "Mike" Murdock | Mister, in my kind of work you talk every chance you get! 'Cause you never know when your mouth may suddenly be shut -- like forever! |
| Daredevil | I may be bombed out -- but I'm not dead yet! |
| Doctor Doom | True enough, Daredevil! But it's only a matter of time! |
| Cat-Man | They don't call me Cat-Man for nothing! |
| Daredevil | You mean you pay 'em? |
| Willie Lincoln | Daredevil!! Did you say Daredevil -- is here -- to see me? |
| Daredevil | You know it, soldier! |
| Willie Lincoln | Bro-ther!What a time for my eyes to cut out on me! |
| Daredevil | You're not missing much, Willie! Just a pair of crazy long-johns, that would look as good on you as me! |
| Daredevil | And what might your name be, masked man? |
| Torpedo | Daredevil!! |
| Daredevil | Sorry... that's my name! You'll have to dig up one of your own! |
| Foggy Nelson | You know what you are guilty of? Of not loving Heather as much as she loved you! You really couldn't help that, Matt. You really couldn't! |
| Matt Murdock | Maybe not. But still, she's dead... And in some way, I'm responsible. It's my fault. |
| Daredevil | You had to hit him that hard? |
| Black Widow | He can count himself lucky to be alive. |
| Daredevil | The question is: who are you? |
| Speedball | Uh, w-would you believe *heh* -- one of the good guys? |
| Daredevil | Iron Fist, right? You're one of the "good guys"? |
| Iron Fist | I like to think so. |
| Daredevil (Matt Murdock) | Uh-oh! Night Thrasher, Rage, Darkhawk, Nova, Firestar -- is this the teens-only section of the battle, or can us scarlet-swashbucklers join in? |
| Nova (Rich Rider) | Pitch in anywhere, Daredevil -- we'll try not to hold your advanced age against you! |
| Daredevil | Because with Beck and all of his victims of the last few weeks dead and buried, can you tell me one thing -- just one thing -- that makes any sense in that mess whatsoever?!? |
| Spider-Man | You saved that baby girl’s life, Matt. |
| Deadpool | Was that a dive, or was that a dive?! |
| Daredevil | If so--consider me the East German judge! |
| Deadpool | Plagiarist! Oblique, obscure, irreverent and irrelevent references are my trademarked shtick! |
| Daredevil | Only if they're properly published in the federal register. |
| Deadpool | Poltroon! Pedant! you try to trump Deadpool on a legal technicality? And a pretty good one, too. |
| Punisher | One bullet. One shot. One chance to stop me killing Dino Gnucci. It's time for that choice you were telling me about. You can't break loose in time. You haven't the space to throw the gun, maybe knock me off my aim. I've got my back to you. I'm wearing Kevlar. It's got to be a headshot. |
| Daredevil | Now wait a minute-- |
| Punisher | If you don't shoot you've got a death on your conscience. A death you could have prevented. If you do shoot, you're a killer. |
| Daredevil | What kind of choice is that...? |
| Punisher | The one I make every time I pull the trigger. |
| Spider-Man | Y-you can actually smell my webbing?! |
| Daredevil | Of course! Why? Does that bother you? |
| Spider-Man | Nope! No way! Why should it? W-what does it smell like? |
| Yelena Belova | ... you... know? |
| Daredevil | Yes. |
| Yelena Belova | Than who... ...who am I? |
| Daredevil | Yelena Belova. |
| Yelena Belova | Yelena... ...I'm... Yelena Belova... The Black Widow... |
| Spider-Man | Romans, huh? Now, if I remember correctly... Is that the bit with the sons of Israel and the twelve kangaroos --? |
| Daredevil | A man of the cloth dies here, Peter. Is that funny to you? Is it? |
| Spider-Man | Hey, here's a novel thought, Daredevil: why don't you back off? "Is that funny to you?" Just who the hell d'you think you are anyway? |
| Daredevil | I didn't mean -- |
| Spider-Man | Yes, you did! What you meant was, "stop goofing off and do it my way!" Well, guess what? I'm not you! You think just because we all wake up on the wrong side of your moral vision none of us could possibly suffer as much as you do? |
| Daredevil | Wait, I -- |
| Spider-Man | I'm not finished! I kid around through all this lunacy because that's my way of dealing with it, okay? The alternative is to sit around at home and mope about how many people died in the city today, and who went without food, and what I could've done to make it different. I've had enough of the "Zen Warrior from Hell's Kitchen" for this lifetime. So, instead of dragging me down, how about you lighten up? |
| Daredevil | And what do you call this move, Luke? |
| Power Man | I call it Cage-Fu. Jump back and watch the man work! |
| Punisher | I guess the Daredevil witness protection program didn't pan out, huh? |
| Daredevil | Neither has your one-man war on double-decker buses. |
| Black Widow | That feels good... but we have to stop -- we're working. |
| Daredevil | Part of my job is to make sure you're relaxed. |
| Black Widow | Uh-huh, I know your old tricks. |
| Daredevil | Just take it. |
| Black Widow | I am so tired... |
| Daredevil | Spider-Man. |
| Spider-Man | Hornhead. Love the red. |
| Punisher | Helen Kim, I can tolerate. I can't stand the sight of you two. |
| Black Widow | Castle, if it weren't for us you would have drowned in red water! |
| Daredevil | Calm down. Did you notice? He took the pin with him. |
| Echo | Fisk. |
| Daredevil | Forget about him. He’s no longer an issue. |
| Echo | He really did get the last laugh on this one, didn’t he? He always did. |
| Bullseye | What's the plan, cripple? You and ninja-skank kill me in broad daylight in front of a crowd with the feds on the way? |
| Daredevil | You killed a woman up there, you sociopath. |
| Bullseye | Boo-hoo. |
| Daredevil | Why are you even here, Lester? |
| Bullseye | Same reason you're here. I want those papers. I want to own you like the Kingpin does |
| Daredevil | I don't have their heartbeats anymore... My god... He's a teleporter? |
| Spider-Man | Worse... He's telekinetic. |
| Alicia | Matt, please. I know you like him, but trust me... ...I don't feel that way about Ben anymore. Is that it? |
| Daredevil | That's all I need to hear...(...to know you're lying...) |
| Luke Cage | You want a mouthguard... Kitchen boy? Can't promise I won't... knock some teeth out... know you like to look good in court... |
| Daredevil | You Harlem tough guys... never did know when to shut up... and fight... |
| Luke Cage | You have been called. |
| Jessica Jones | The call is given. |
| Daredevil | But Captain America and I are hardly seeing eye to eye -- |
| Luke Cage | This ain't his Avengers, this is my Avengers. ... Try it out. Don't say no. |
| Spider-Man | I'm already regretting this. Know how you can tell we're friends, Magoo? |
| Daredevil | How? |
| Spider-Man | Because in order to save your hide, I just teamed up with the Punisher. |
| Matt Murdock | I promised my Dad I'd grow up to be a Lawyer, not a Lackey! What is this, a hobby to you now? |
| Foggy Nelson | Whoa! Whoa! Whose money did we start this firm with? Mine! |
| Daredevil | Foggy, I'm not crazy-- |
| Foggy Nelson | Yes you are! I don't care what you think you hallucinated tonight, Matt, but it wasn't your ex-wife because I am looking right at her! |
| Matt Murdock | Go back to the previous question. What do you mean, if there's time? |
| Foggy Nelson | Matty, I wasn't fair to you, either. I think the reason I was so angry that you might not be dealing with your problems honestly and with courage is because I... I need that from you right now. I need you to be the one who can teach me how to do all that. |
| Matt Murdock | Foggy, what are you talking about, please? |
| Foggy Nelson | I've... been sick, Matty. While you've been running around, I've been running to the doctors. And they're pretty sure-- |
| Matt Murdock | Of what? |
| Foggy Nelson | --they're running tests right now-- |
| Matt Murdock | For what, Foggy? |
| Foggy Nelson | ... cancer. |
| Matt Murdock | You haven't abandoned me even though half the underworld knows Daredevil's real name and where he works? |
| Foggy Nelson | Yeah. |
| Matt | Even though I'm a magnet for trouble and you're a box of iron filings? |
| Foggy | I guess. |
| Matt | Sounds to me like you already are a man without fear, buddy. |
| Daredevil (Matt Murdock) | I'll get him. |
| Maria Hill | Wait! It's black as pitch down there! Let's at least arrange some light-- For you. Oh. |
| Daredevil (Matt Murdock) | You are adorable. |
| Daredevil | You were dealing with a chemical imbalance. Maggie, I've defended clients with perinatal issues. Yours was extreme, but ten percent of new mothers struggle with it on some level, maybe more. It's not their fault. You know that. |
| Sister Maggie | That doesn't make me any less sorry. For failing you. |
| Daredevil | Oh. Failing. Right. You mean by pulling yourself up out of a suicidal depression by faith and sheer force of will to become a force for good on this planet? We should all fail so tragically. |
| Matt Murdock | So why did you chose us? And why did you make me the one trying to prove you were guilty? |
| Steve Rogers | I needed you to go all the way, Matt. No holding back. I didn't want anyone to say that the lawyer on the other side took it easy. And let's face it -- you've always been a little bit dark. If anyone could their head around the idea that maybe I was guilty, I figured it was you. |
| Matt Murdock | And you picked Jen to represent you... |
| Steve Rogers | Well, sure. I didn't want to lose, you know. |
| Kirsten McDuffie | So there's a lunatic on the loose. Do you figure his parents just assumed he'd grow up to be evil when they named him "Zebediah Killgrave"? |
| Daredevil | Yeah. We call it the "Victor von Doom" paradox. |
| Iron Man | That's it. Rise and shine. I said I have something for you. |
| Daredevil | My God. I can see. |
| Blindspot | Hold on-- the Punisher? Isn't he, you know, a good guy? Goes out and catches the bad guys. Just like you. |
| Daredevil | He is nothing like me. He's damaged, Blindspot. Castle doesn't catch the bad guys. He kills them. |
| Punisher | You know why Murdock wants to get Antonov to Texas? |
| Daredevil | Because it's the only place he can be brought to justice. |
| Punisher | Un-huh. Their version of justice looks a lot more like mine than yours. Texas is a death penalty state. |
| Punisher | What's the difference? You know Murdock's sending him down there to die. You know that. You know that, and you're making that happen. You want to see him punished just as much as I do. |
| Daredevil | I do Frank. But not by me. And not by you. |
| Punisher | Hnh. Suppose I can always get myself down to Texas. |
| Daredevil | Yeah, well... so can I. |
| Clint Barton | Any regrets? |
| Matt Murdock | About making sure a man received a fair trial? Not a single one, Mister Barton. |
| Clint Barton | So you think the trial was fair? |
| Matt Murdock | In the end, very. |
| Clint Barton | And the verdict? Do you think the verdict was fair? |
| Matt Murdock | I don't know, Mister Barton. I honestly don't know. |
| Daredevil | The... paint. It's not just one persons's blood. |
| Blindspot | Wait. What? How many people are up there? |
| Daredevil | I could be off by one or two. But by my count... at least one hundred and thirteen. |
| Punisher | You know why Murdock wants to get Antonov to Texas? |
| Daredevil | Because it's the only place he can be brought to justice. |
| Punisher | Un-huh. Their version of justice looks a lot more like mine than yours. Texas is a death penalty state. |
| Daredevil | Sam... I'm so sorry. I'll do everything I can for you. I never meant-- |
| Blindspot | Did... you save them? |
| Daredevil | Yes. All of them. More than a hundred people. |
| Blindspot | Okay. Then it was worth it. |
| Daredevil | Even in prison I'm called to fight. To use my fists to save God's creatures, even the ones who've lost their way... against the godless... |
| Knull | Not godless. |
| Daredevil | Who... who are you? |
| Knull | I am Knull. It is time. |
| Daredevil | What's... what's happening to me... |
| Knull | We are bonding. |
| Daredevil | Why? |
| Knull | To be better. Don't you want to be better? |
| Daredevil | I do. I try. God help me, I try. |
| Knull | Then hear me. Hear this voice inside you the way I hear your heart. You are a man without fear. I am pure power. As one... we are unstoppable! |
| Punisher | Look at me! And tell me... if you see a man... who's possessed. |
| Daredevil | Mary, Mother of God... |
| Punisher | I am not a puppet. I am not a lost soul in need of salvation. I am what I have always been. I am the Punisher. |
| Baron Wolfgang von Strucker | The neighborhood above, this "Hell's Kitchen"--it crawls with vermin such as these. They are wertlos--the worthless--to be corralled by the likes of Sabretooth and Hobgoblin. Good only for blood sport. I sense your "moral indignation." It offends you, my use of this chattel? Then by all means---take up their defense. Be their "prize fighter"! |
| Daredevil | Just ring the bell. |
