Foggy Nelson quotes from Daredevil

Matt

I thought "Nelson and Murdock" were over...

Foggy

There's nothing I want more than to find a way back to where we were, but... I don't know if we can.

Matt

No, we can't. But maybe we can find a way to move forward, Foggy.

Foggy

You ever wake up in the morning... from the second you get out of bed, it's like... every molecule in your body hurts?

Matt

No, never.

Foggy

I'm in agony, dude.

Matt

What, did you go back to the gym?

Foggy

Hell, no! Do I look capable of making healthy life choices? I went out, Matthew. Went out dancing.

Matt

I'm choosing not to believe that.

Foggy

And yet, it's true.

Foggy

You know what my problem is?

Matt

Well, it ain't the moves.

Foggy

You know I got the moves. That's the tragedy of you being blind, you've never seen me dance.

Matt

Yeah, but I can cite the legends I heard in law school.

Karen

Well, uh, Mr. Marino's dog was viciously beaten by his neighbor after the dog, um... defiled the neighbor's statue of Saint Francis.

Matt

"Defiled"?

Karen Page

Um... humped repeatedly until completion.

Foggy

That's a dog I want to defend.

Foggy

You can't drink the water here. Josie's pipes have issues.

Matt

Rust, mold.

Foggy

I think I can actually see the bacteria floating in there.

Karen

Oh, ew, ew.

Matt

See, that... that's why we, uh, keep our cocktails neat.

Foggy

Pretend you're abroad. On vacation someplace exotic, but no mojitos. Josie just throws mint in the beer.

Matt

Hey, Foggy, can I get some aspirin?

Foggy

You sure you don't want an x-ray? Maybe a psych eval?

Matt

An aspirin's fine, buddy.

It's an ongoing investigation. But our intelligence people are close to completing a profile.

Foggy

A profile?

Even got a code name.

Foggy

Like what? "Killdozer," or "Dumbass With A Gun"?

Not quite. They're calling this one "The Punisher".

Foggy

Anything else we've been ignoring?

Karen

Uh, yeah. Um... There you go. [hands Foggy a bunch of envelopes]

Foggy

Thank you. [flips through the mail] "Overdue." "Past Due." "Final Notice." Hey! "First Notice." That's a win.

Claire

You know, you're good with people.

Foggy

Yeah, I'm a real charmer.

Claire

I'm serious. The only thing I ever saw stop a thug mid-fight... was a bigger thug.

Foggy

Yeah, I like to keep it thuggish.

Foggy

Careful, Matt.

Matt

What's that?

Foggy

Keep going like this, you just might end up happy. And for a Catholic boy, that's a pretty dangerous thing.

Foggy

Are you gonna kick us out, bro?

Depends. Are you pompous jackasses?

Matt

Uh, well, we're not... pompous.

Foggy

You know it's really not a good idea to piss her off. So, what can I do for the Assistant District Attorney?

It's more, "what I can do for you", Mr. Nelson. We need all your files on the Grote case. Notes, interviews, any and all recordings and e-mails.

Foggy

And in return, we get...

I convince District Attorney Reyes to scratch the names of Nelson and Murdock off her shit-list.

Foggy

Wow. There's an actual list?

Mr. Nelson, I-

Foggy

I'm sorry. Believe me, the sooner this Punisher mess is off our plate, the better. So show me a subpoena and... [Blake appears to be somewhat nervous] Is there a problem?

[takes a seat] Are you really gonna make me jump through hoops for this?

Foggy

Trust me, there's nothing I'd rather do more than cooperate with your office. But a legal firm sharing privileged communications with a client, I mean, even a deceased one, without a court order? I've seen lawyers get disbarred for less. And I don't know about you, but I worked really hard for my law degree. Nights and everything.

Reyes... she staked all her political chips on the conviction of this Punisher freak. Now, if things'll go her way, there'll be an opening in the District Attorney's office in the not-so-distant future.

Foggy

And DA Tower has a nice ring to it.

Now, I'd start considering the benefits that could accrue if your firm were more... cooperative.

Foggy

Like I said. Show me a subpoena, and I'll cooperate like a son of a bitch.

Reyes is gonna roll over you like a tank.

Foggy

You keep saying that. And yet... still kinda here.

Foggy

Is this about saving a man or saving a vigilante?

Matt

He's a person. Like you, Foggy. Like me. And he shouldn't have to die.

Matt

Your Honor, New York hasn't seen a trial this divisive and this public in years.

Foggy

Finding an impartial jury is not easy. Everybody has an opinion about Frank Castle.

It's New York, Mr. Nelson. Everybody has an opinion about everything.

Matt

I know where to start.

Foggy

You always know where to start. You just never know when to stop, Matt.
