Wilson Fisk quotes from Echo

Fisk

[referencing his father in a deleted scene] If you feel half of what I felt for him, then I've become what I hate.

Wilson Fisk

I'm growing concerned, Maya. You're not alone. We all mourn your father. I understand your rage.

Maya

Do you?

Fisk

My father was killed also. When I was twelve years old. The pain that I felt in the wake of that moment is something I've never felt again since. Let me help you release this rage in, in a more constructive way.

Maya

How?

Fisk

A job. You have greatness in you. Take your hurt. Your loss. Take your pain. Make it into something useful!

Fisk

It hurts that you were so ready to believe the worst. You raised a hand to me in violence.

Maya

Violence was always our language.

Fisk

I suspect you've come to kill me. Again. I can't remember a time when I haven't loved you like a daughter. We only had each other, don't you remember?

Maya

My memories are a lie. A child's fantasy that turned a monster into a hero.

Fisk

"A monster"? You knew what you were part of at every turn. All the people you killed for me, did you plead for their lives? I ask you... who's the monster?

Fisk

I know now that I failed you. The same as my father failed me. I keep this with me. It's to remind myself of where I come from, and what I had to do to get there. [Fisk presents the hammer he beat his father to death with.] My father felt stronger when he beat my mother, until I got strong enough to stop him with that.

Maya

You... killed him?

Fisk

I killed him to be free. To move forward in my life. So, enough games! [he hands her the hammer] Here. Free yourself. Go ahead. Free me!

Fisk

Your necklace. It's American Sign Language. It says "I love you".

Chula

Oh! You sign?

Fisk

I try, for my niece.

Chula

Oh, I learn for my daughter. She's passed on now.

Fisk

Yes, I've lost someone who I loved. It's the kind of pain you never quite get over.

Maya

They have nothing to do with this! They're in my blood, in my heart. I'm a part of them, and they're a part of me. I'm their legacy. Not yours...

Fisk

Good. Now I know how much it will hurt you when I kill the rest of your family! Just like I killed your father!

Maya

Don't listen anymore. Let go of the pain. Let go of the anger. You are my uncle. Shut him out!

Fisk

No! No! I am not who you want me to be!
