Daredevil quotes

Frank Castle

[pulls a pistol] Bang. [shoots Daredevil in the head]

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".

Do I know you?

Castle

I need an NYPD mobile communications rig. One that gets encrypted tactical frequencies.

[scoffs] What do I look like, RadioShack? Anyway, dealing in this shit is illegal. [Castle puts a couple $100 bills down on the counter] You sure you're not a cop? 'Cause that's trouble I don't need. [Castle moves to pick up his money] Whoa, whoa, whoa! I gotta ask, right? Just hold on. [The owner unlocks a cabinet in the back and removes a heavy satchel containing a communications rig] Yep. Straight out of Officer McDipshit's dashboard. Gets you tactical bands, surveillance feeds. Hell, it'll probably pick up the mayor banging his boyfriend. [Castle scoffs] It's a grand. We're talking about a one-of-a-kind item. [Castle counts out a few more $100s and plants them on the counter. Castle notices the surveillance camera watching the counter]

Castle

Video tape.

Sure. What the hell. [He removes the tape from the system]

Castle

What about the double-barrel under the counter? [Castle deposits a few more $100s. The owner takes out his double-barrel and empties the shells. Castle pockets the shells, then picks up the communications rig and begins walking towards the door]

[clears throat] Hey, man, hold on. Sure I can't get you anything else? You know, I got it all, man. Yeah, bondage... back-door, grannies. Or maybe you're in the market for something younger? She's barely 12. Guaranteed! [Castle stops and drops his satchel] Haha, you like that, huh? For a 100$, she's all yours. [Castle flips the sign in the door from "Open" to "Closed", then turns around and begins walking back towards the counter] That's my man. [As he strides towards the counter, Castle picks up a baseball bat] What the hell are you doin'? Hey, man, just take it easy. [stammering] I'm just trying to make a buck! [Castle swings the bat at the owner's head]

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.

Matt

You think, uh you think he's crazy? Uh, the Punisher?

Karen

No. I think he was inevitable.

Matt

Inevitable? How so?

Karen

Maybe maybe we created him. All of us. The moment that we let Daredevil, or the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, or whatever it is...

Matt

There's there's no connection.

Karen

Well, actually, I think it's a pretty straight line, Matt. Daredevil practiced vigilante justice in our backyard and we applauded him for it. I know that I did. And we never stopped to think that maybe his actions could open the door for men like this. Men men with guns. Men who think that the law belongs to them.

Matt

There's a difference.

Karen

Well, I don't see it. Not anymore.

Daredevil

I'm just saying, I know it can be hard.

Castle

Do you? You know it can be hard? You run around this city in a pair of little boy's pajamas and a mask. You go home at night, right? Take that mask off, maybe you think…it wasn't you who did those things, maybe it was somebody else. Well, see, soldiers... we don't wear masks, yeah? We don't get that privilege.

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.

The Irish may not have invented revenge, but we sure as hell took some time perfecting it.

Castle

I gotta say, sometimes... sometimes I think you really just might be the Devil.

Daredevil

Sometimes I think I might be, too.

Castle

It's... One Batch, Two Batch, Penny and Dime, you know? It was her favorite book. You gotta cross the ocean, and go fight. You see, whole time you're thinking you're gonna be scared, right? But then you're not. See, that part of it was always easy for me. Killing. Even watching my buddies die, it just didn't mean nothing. The first time I got scared was on a plane on the way home. I kept thinking God was gonna pull the rug out from under us, you know? Shit, that's his kind of funny, you know. But the plane landed safe and we were home. Driving through traffic. Yeah, you pass fast food and donut shops and all that greasy shit, the shit you fought to protect, and then the car stops. We were outside her school. I get to her classroom, right? She's in there, but she's got no idea. She's got no idea Daddy's home. I walk in, these kids, they're not even studying, they're-they're doing some kind of yoga. Yeah. You know? She's there. She's doing her poses, you know, she's bending and, you know, she's moving. She looks like a flower. Yeah. And you know, you can't even understand it, you know, how does something like that have... How does something that beautiful have... How does that... how does that come from me, you know? And she looks up and she sees me. I see her. By God, that's real. That's real, Red. Boom. In an instant, she's across that classroom floor, she's in my arms. She's squeezing me so tight, I swear I was gonna bust a rib, you know? We just stayed there like that, we're holding each other. Teacher's filming the whole thing on her phone, you know, she's gonna put it on YouTube or some shit. She can't hold the thing steady, because, you know, she's... she's bawling so hard, and the kids are all wailing, you know, they're screaming. And me? Shit, I'm the worst of all. I'm a... I'm a rubber-faced clown, you know? I cried so hard. But not my baby. Not my girl. You know, she's my girl. She's... she's not crying, she's holding me up. My girl, she's keeping me on my feet. She says, "I knew it, Daddy. I knew it." And then we go home. To the wife, the boy. Place is the exact same, it's like it was just holding its breath waiting for me to get back, you know? Then it hit me. All of it, you know? The first time I felt how tired I was, you know, I was just tired, you know? You ever been tired, Red?

Daredevil

Yeah.

Castle

So, you know. It's just, I couldn't do nothing, you know? All the things. I couldn't take my wife to bed. Ball with the boy. Shit... I was too tired, I couldn't even drink a goddamn beer, you know? But not her. My girl was up. See, she wanted to, uh, she wanted me to tuck her in. She... she outgrew it, she knew it, but she didn't care. She wanted it. She had that book. Her favorite book was out on the pillows. One Batch, Two Batch, Penny and Dime, you know? I read her that book every night before this shit. I read it every single night, but, see, that was over now, because Daddy's home now. She looked at me and she begged me, Red. She begged. She begged. I said, "No. Daddy's too tired, see. But I'll... I'll read to you tomorrow night. I promise." Yeah. Never think that for her there was not gonna be any tomorrow, see? The last time I'd see her, I'd be holding her lifeless body in my arms. Meat was spilling out of her, Red. The place where her face used to be. I think I'm done, Red. I think I'm done.

Castle

I guess, uh... I guess I was wrong.

Daredevil

About?

Castle

About you being a pussy.

Daredevil

Don't get all sweet on me now, Frank.

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.

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.
