Leland Owlsley quotes from Daredevil

Leland Owlsley

Heroes and their consequences are why we have our current opportunities.

Owlsley

Wind blows the hardest the closer you get to the mountain top.

Owlsley

You've lost your strong-arm and the tape. You got nothing on juror eight now.

James Wesley

She's only a piece of the puzzle.

Owlsley

You ever try putting a puzzle together with a piece missing? It's damned aggravating.

Owlsley

Where are the Smiley Twins? Sleeping off another kidnapping?

Fisk

The Ranskahovs are no longer a part of this organization.

Owlsley

Since when?

Fisk

Since I removed Anatoly's head with my car door.

Owlsley

You burned him alive? Christ.

Fisk

I never laid a hand on Nobu.

Owlsley

So, you maneuvered that masked idiot to take him out. Same result.

Fisk

I need you to speak with Gao.

Owlsley

Me? The hell am I gonna say to her?

Fisk

Reassure her everything is fine.

Owlsley

So, you want me to lie.

Wesley

Mmm, you weren't particularly fond of Nobu. You thought he was unsettling, if I recall.

Owlsley

I think you're unsettling half the time. See me lighting a match?

Wesley

Reach out to Gao.

Owlsley

Me? What if she's the one who did all this?

Wesley

Well, you said you didn't think it was her.

Owlsley

What the hell do I know? I was almost poisoned. I'm not thinking straight.

Wesley

Speak with Gao... if she wasn't involved, we might need her support against further unpleasantries.

Owlsley

And if she was involved?

Wesley

Then it's been an honor doing business with you.

Owlsley

So, what's our play here?

Gao

The wheel constantly turns. We must adapt to its position, or be crushed beneath it.

Owlsley

What? Where the hell are you going?

Gao

I will visit my homeland and reflect upon the future.

Owlsley

Home? China?

Gao

It is a considerable distance farther.

Owlsley

I've spent my entire life hiding assets overseas for pricks like you. My son and I will be just another transaction, disappearing into the tax-exempt ether. But I'm the fair sort. That's why I'm only taking half your money. You go your way, I go mine. Not what I'd call "win-win", but it's as close as we're gonna get with this. So. We on the same page?

Fisk

I, uh... No. I don't think we are!
