Elektra Natchios quotes from Daredevil

Elektra Natchios

A long time ago, before he died, my father did business with the Roxxon Corporation.

Matt

Roxxon?

Elektra

Energy, cleaning supplies, macaroni and cheese. Child labor, slave trade. They have their fingers in everything. I believe it's called diversification.

Elektra

You're the only person I can trust.

Matt

Well, sweetheart, you don't break into my house and then talk to me about trust.

Matt

I wanna know how you found me.

Elektra

I know who you are because I watch the news. "The successful apprehension of Wilson Fisk."

Matt

I wear a mask.

Elektra

Well, you can't mask that ass. I'd know it anywhere.

Elektra

I have a rule of my own.

Matt

Shoot.

Elektra

No sex.

Matt

Oh, my God. You have a pair on you. This may come as a surprise to you, but I've actually moved on in the ten years since you left. I'm seeing someone now, which is only part of the reason why I have zero interest in ever starting anything up with you ever again.

Elektra

Of course you do. Check, please.

Matt

You're still so arrogant.

Elektra

Just realistic.

Matt

What makes you think every man you meet wants to sleep with you?

Elektra

Because so far, they have.

Matt

After last night, the Yakuza know they've been compromised, which means security's gonna be tight.

Elektra

There was a time when you trusted me.

Matt

When was that?

Elektra

What do you tell people? About? Where you got your scars?

Matt

Um... Lucky me, I wear suits to work, so... rarely comes up.

Elektra

What do you tell the women you bring home?

Matt

Well, they're enjoying themselves too much.

Elektra

I was only following your rules.

Daredevil

What rules?

Elektra

You don't get what you want by day. You take it by force at night. This is who you are, Matthew. And don't fool yourself into thinking it's anything else.

Elektra

We live on the front lines. Like it or not.

Matt

It doesn't mean we have to fight Stick's way. He kills his enemies, and we don't have to.

Elektra

You make that choice sound so easy.

Matt

No, it's not easy. It's impossible. But it's a choice and it's a choice that I remake every single day. Every second, sometimes. And you can, too.

Elektra

Why are you so good?

Matt

I'm not.

Elektra

Yes. There's a light inside you. I tried to snuff it out in college. I'm so lucky I failed.

I know what you've done, and who you have killed. The list is long. The pilot in Buenos Aires, the lawyer in Berlin... and that very messy episode in Morocco. I'm still trying to understand how one woman can fit six bodies in the trunk of a Maserati.

Elektra

Are you gonna try to kill me?

Something like that.

Elektra

Well, you ought to know... it's rude to keep a girl waiting.

Young Elektra

You said we're going to war.

Stick

We are. And there'll be a time and place for you to turn yourself loose. But right now, the last thing you want is for everybody here to be scared shitless of you. Tame that fire... or they'll tame it for you.

Elektra

You want me to help you save the man who ordered my death?

Daredevil

Yes.

Elektra

You really do hate me.

Matt

So, what if... What if... from now on, if... if we make it... wherever you run, I... I run with you?

Elektra

You're not serious.

Matt

I've never been more serious. This... Elektra, this is a part of me that I need. And you're the only one who gets it. Without this, I'm not alive. I'm not. Not really. And I know that now, thanks to you. I don't know what we are together, and if we have any chance in the future... But I... I do know that I'm free with you. Like with no one else.

Elektra

You hide from yourself. You don't let anyone in.

Matt

You. I let you in. Think about it. What if this isn't the end? What if it's just the beginning?

Elektra

No... They'll find us.

Matt

No, we'll keep moving. We'll change identities. We'll... we'll hide. They'll never catch us. What do you say?

Elektra

Uh, I say... let's go to London. Yeah? Madrid. Tunisia. There are sexy places to hide.

Matt

Hey, I've never been further north than 116th Street, so...

Elektra

Because you love New York.

Matt

And I'd give my life for it, but... there's one thing in this world that makes me feel more alive. And that's you.

Elektra

I'm the Black Sky, Matthew.

Matt

Yeah, and I'm the Devil of Hell's Kitchen.
