Powell quotes from Daredevil: Born Again

Matt

Officer Powell, good morning. I'm told you have a black eye. I hope everything is okay.

Powell

Yeah, don't worry about it.

Matt

You know, there's thing they say in boxing: The, uh, the best cure for a black eye is fast hands.

Objection!

Sustained. Come on, Mr. Murdock.

Matt

You, uh, doing the Lord's work today?

Powell

Yeah.

Matt

Hey, you couldn't have a weak link out there, could you?

Powell

What?

Matt

Or maybe it was pride. Ayala made you look bad, didn't he? Actually, he flat-out embarrassed you, and you can't have that at the NYPD. Is that why you did it?

Powell

...You have yourself a nice day, counselor.

Matt

He had a family. He had a future. And you took that away from him.

Powell

You can't see this badge, Counselor, 'cause you're fuckin' blind, but my grandfather wore this badge. My father wore this badge, my brother wears this badge, four of my fuckin' cousins wear this badge. They're all knuckleheads, but they're good cops. So I wear this fuckin' badge with honor, Counselor. And I don't know nothin' about nothin' to do with what happened to Hector Ayala.

Powell

But here's something that I know -- an attorney who assaults a police officer? Who obstructs an active investigation? Not something that the Bar Association's gonna take lightly, if you catch my meaning. Not to mention, some of my more excitable colleagues on the force.

Matt

Yeah. Only... you'd have to bring a few more than the last time we met, wouldn't you?

Powell

It's an honor to meet you, Castle. I'm a big admirer of your work.

Frank

Jesus Christ…

Powell

And I lost a lot of guys 'cause of you today. And I'm hoping that this is fuckin' worth it. Listen, Frank, everything that you do, you know, you can do that with us, and you don't gotta run anymore. These guys fuckin' idolize you, man. We all do. It'd be an honor to serve with you, Frank.

Frank

"Admire me", huh?

Powell

Yeah.

Frank

Yeah. Hey... Out of your fuckin' mind, you know that? You're a bunch of clowns, you know that? You fuckin' clowns. Admire me. You think you know my pain? You think you know my loss? You admire me? What do you know about me? How I see the world? You know how I see the world? It's just a circus. A bunch of clowns. I ain't gonna serve with you. I won't fuckin' piss on you if you were on fire, you got that?
