Daredevil

Daredevil:
Wait. It wasn't me. It was a hit man named Bullseye. I didn't kill your father.

Elektra:
Liar.

Elektra:
Nice to meet you, Matt Murdock.

Matt Murdock:
Nice to meet you, uhh. I didn't get your name.

Elektra:
I didn't give it.

Daredevil:
Hey, that light? At the end of the tunnel? Guess what? That's not heaven...

Jose Quesada:
I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

Daredevil:
That's the C train!

Ben Urich:
Go get 'em Matt.

Bullseye:
You're good, baby, I'll give you that... but me? I'm magic.

Matt Murdock:
Excuse me, could you tell me where I could find some honey?

Matt Murdock:
You're going to need to be a little more specific.

Elektra:
What are you...

Matt Murdock:
Blind? Yeah.

Kingpin:
Is there anything else?

Bullseye:
Yeah, I want a bloody costume.

Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson:
It's in black and white, how can you be a skeptic?

Matt Murdock:
If there's no eye witnesses, I mean... big foot has eye witnesses.

Kingpin:
How do you kill a man without fear?

Bullseye:
By puttin' the fear in him.

Kingpin:
And how did you get past my security?

Bullseye:
Oh, you mean that guy?

Kingpin:
Was that really necessary?

Bullseye:
Necessary? No, it was fun.

Bullseye:
He... made me... miss.

Kingpin:
You know what they say, too much pride can kill a man.

Bullseye:
Let's bring on the pain. Let's bring on the noise.

Daredevil:
I'm not the bad guy, kid.

Kingpin:
I don't understand.

Daredevil:
I'm not the bad guy.

Matt Murdock:
Her name's Elektra Natchios.

Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson:
Well, she sounds like a Mexican appetizer.

Matt Murdock:
It's Greek, genius. Her father's Nikolas Natchios.

Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson:
The billionaire?

Matt Murdock:
Yeah, see? The billionaire.

Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson:
Well, then as your attorney in this matter I advise you to marry the woman immediately.

Matt Murdock:
Do you do this to every guy who asks for your name?

Elektra:
You should try asking for my number.

Bullseye:
I missed? I... never... miss.

Bullseye:
Come on Orphan, lets play.

Matt Murdock:
You're holding back.

Elektra:
Yes.

Matt Murdock:
Don't.

Daredevil:
You killed the only two people I've ever loved. Why?

Kingpin:
Business. It's always business. I was working for Fallon back then. You're father was supposed to throw a fight. And your little girlfriend? Well, she was just in the wrong family at the wrong time.

Matt Murdock:
Mr. Quesada, for your sake, I hope justice is found in this court today... before justice finds you.

Matt Murdock:
So does every guy have to go through this just to find out your name?

Elektra:
You should try asking for my number.

Flight Attendant:
Anything else I can get you, sir?

Bullseye:
More peanuts... please.

Jack Murdock:
You can do anything if you're not afraid.

Ben Urich:
Cool color.

Matt Murdock:
I wouldn't know.

Elektra:
But you should know, that the only reason I got dressed up for this thing... was that I wanted to look beautiful for you.

Daredevil:
They say that right before you die, your life flashes before your eyes. That's true, even for a blind man.

Jose Quesada:
What do *you* want?

Daredevil:
Justice.

Elektra:
You sure you're blind?

Matt Murdock:
You sure you don't want to tell me your name?

Fisk:
You know, I've learned one thing in all my years in this business.

Matt Murdock:
What's that?

Fisk:
Nobody's innocent. Nobody.

Father Everett:
A man without fear is a man without hope.

Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson:
I'm going to let you in on a little secret, Matt. This doesn't look like a law office. It looks like the set of God damn "Sanford and Son". Every time I come in here, I'm waiting for Lamont to walk down the stairs.

Franklin Nelson:
What happens to that lie detector of yours when it detects your own bullshit?

Matt Murdock:
I know how you feel.

Elektra:
You don't know how I feel. I want revenge.

Matt Murdock:
Revenge won't make the pain go away. Trust me. I know.

Elektra:
There's no place for me now.

Matt Murdock:
Yes, there is. Stay. Stay with me, please.

Franklin "Foggy" Nelson:
Your client, Mr. Lee, he made his first payment.

Matt Murdock:
Oh, that's great, you should be very happy.

Franklin "Foggy" Nelson:
Yes, it's fantastic.

Franklin "Foggy" Nelson:
He paid in *fluke.* Fluke is a *fish,* Matt. Did you know that? 'Cause I sure as hell didn't.

Matt Murdock:
Mr. Lee is a good man, and... he doesn't have a lot of money, and he goes fishing on the weekends, so I guess...

Franklin "Foggy" Nelson:
Yeah, and I go salsa dancing on the weekends, but I don't shake my ass to pay my phone bill, you know what I'm sayin'?

Nikolas Natchios:
New York is not a safe place tonight.

(Jack "the Devil" Murdock is visited before a match by the gangster he used to work for)

Fallon:
Jack, it's been a while.

Jack Murdock:
I don't work for you no more, Fallon.

Fallon:
Jack, you never stopped. Did you really think you won all those fights on your own? You're forty-two years old! Miller, Mack, Bendis, they're all my fighters... just like you. And now it's your turn to take a fall. Think about your boy, Jack. I'm sure you'll do the right thing.

Jose Quesada:
What do you want?

Daredevil:
Justice.

...

Daredevil:
Hey, how ya doing?

Jose Quesada:
(being strangled) Didn't you hear? I was acquitted.

Daredevil:
Not by me.

...

Jose Quesada:
(points gun at Daredevil's head) Go to hell, Diablo.

Daredevil:
Okay...(grins) But you'll beat me there. (sweep kicks Quesada, tripping him and causing him to break his hip on the ledge, falling onto the tracks)

(Reporter Ben Urich arrives at a crime scene)

Detective Nick Manolis:
You're wasting your time, Urich. There's nothing to see here.

Ben Urich (watching EMT's carry a stretcher away):
Jose Quesada... (two more EMT's carry off another stretcher) and the rest of Jose Quesada. Whole lot of nothing, huh, Nick?

Manolis:
You keep running those stories and we're gonna end up with a bunch of copycat vigilantes who are gonna get themselves killed.

Urich:
Are you here to confirm that Daredevil is responsible for this, Detective?

Manolis:
Come on, Urich, stop bustin' my... (breaks off as Urich holds up a tape recorder) There is no proof that your so-called Daredevil was involved, nor that he even exists. Got it?

(Urich almost carelessly throws his cigarette on the platform, which ignites the Daredevil's insignia, engraved on the floor)

Urich:
Got it.

(A vigilante superhero in the confessional)

Matt Murdock:
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a week since my last...

Father Everett:
What the hell are playing at, Matt? You didn't come here for forgiveness. You came for permission, and I can't give you that.

Matt:
Justice isn't a sin, Father.

Father Everett:
No, but vengeance is. You see it every day on the street: violence begets more violence. Is that how you want to live your life? A lawyer during the day, and then judge and jury at night. Is that what you want?

Matt:
Somebody has to do something.

Father Everett:
But why you?

Matt:
Because I can. Because I'm not afraid.

Father Everett:
Well, I'm afraid for you, Matthew. Look, a man without fear is a man without hope. May God have mercy on you for your sins and grant you Everlasting Life, Amen. (sighs) I'm not too crazy about the outfit, either.

Franklin:
We need some better clients. I'm tired of these pro bono cases.

Matt:
What is your problem with our clients? We have good, honorable clients, decent people. What's your idea of better? Define "better". Huh? What would be a "better" client?

Franklin:
"Better" means rich and guilty, okay? Remember how they taught us in law school how to create a moral vacuum, so you can represent people who aren't all necessarily innocent?

Matt:
That was your best course, as I recall.

Franklin:
Yeah, well, you don't have a moral vacuum, Matt. You're completely vacuumless.

(In the coffee shop, Elektra is reading)

Matt Murdock:
Uh, I was just looking for some honey. Could you help me out?

Elektra Natchios (without looking up):
Right in front of you.

Matt:
(chuckles) Well... could you be a little more specific?

Elektra:
(looking up) What, are you...

Matt:
Blind? Yeah.

Elektra:
(shocked) I am so sorry!

Matt:
It's okay.

Elektra:
(about Nelson) Friend of yours?

Matt:
You know, I've never seen him before. (extends a hand) Matt Murdock.

Elektra:
(shakes hands) Nice to meet you, Matt Murdock.

Matt:
Nice to meet you, uhh... I didn't get your name.

Elektra:
I didn't give it. (she exits the coffee shop)

(Matt follows Elektra, tracking her by scent to a park)

Elektra:
What do you want?

Matt:
I just wanted to get your name. I didn't want any trouble.

Elektra:
Look... I don't like being followed. So don't. (she turns to storm off)

Matt:
Uh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a second, take it easy! (he catches Elektra's hand)

Elektra:
And I don't like being touched! (she throws a punch; Matt counters and pins her arms)

Matt:
What don't you tell me what you do like, and we'll start there. Okay?

(Elektra throws more punches and kicks, which Matt dodges. The two separate, remove their jackets, and strike martial arts poses)

Elektra:
You sure you're blind?

Matt:
Sure you don't wanna tell me your name?

Kingpin:
What's wrong, Wesley?

Wesley:
Have you seen the papers today? Somebody's been talking.

Kingpin:
Somebody always does.

Matt Murdock:
Where'd you learn how to fight like that?

Elektra Natchios:
My father. He had me study with a different sensei every year since I was five years old.

Matt:
Sounds like he wanted to turn you into some kind of a warrior.

Elektra:
No. Just not a victim.

Matt Murdock:
I said I was sorry. What do you want?

Franklin Nelson:
Details. You owe me that.

Matt:
Her name's Elektra Natchios.

Franklin:
She sounds like a Mexican appetizer.

Matt:
It's Greek, genius. Her father's Nikolas Natchios.

Franklin:
The billionaire?

Matt:
Yeah, see? Yes, the billionaire.

Franklin:
Well, then, as your attorney in this matter, I advise you to marry the woman immediately.

Matt:
I'll take it under consideration.

(Matt Murdock arrives at his office and is greeted by his secretary)

Karen Page:
This just came by messenger. It's your invitation to the Black and White Ball at the Grand, plus one. (she smiles expectantly)

Franklin Nelson:
Plus one? All right! Guess I gotta rent a tux.

Franklin:
Natchios owns the Grand Hotel. And Elektra's the reason you were invited to the ball.

Matt:
She's out of my league. I'd rather just end it before it starts.

Franklin:
That's gotta be some kind of record, Matt. You just completely bypassed the whole relationship phase. You went right into the breakup. Trying to save some time, huh?

(Walking on the street at night, Matt Murdock stops and sniffs the air)

Matt:
So, does this mean you want a rematch?

Elektra:
(smiling) I knew I'd find you. How did you know I wasn't a mugger?

Matt:
Muggers don't usually wear rose oil or high heels. At least, this far from Chelsea.

(Matt has taken Elektra onto a rooftop)

Elektra:
Wait a second, exactly how many women have you had up here?

Matt:
Uh, you're my first.

Elektra:
Good answer.

Matt:
I thought that was the right answer.

Elektra:
Look at this! It's so beautiful!

Matt:
I know. This was my favorite view of the city when I was a kid. I really wanted you to see this.

Ben Urich:
Cool color. (commenting on Matt's cane)

Matt:
I wouldn't know.

Franklin Nelson:
Oh-oh-oh! Look at that! Wilson Fisk is in the hizzie! Come on, we might never get a chance like this again. Come on, let's go! (to Fisk) Mister Fisk? Mister Fisk, it's Franklin Nelson from Nelson and Murdock...

Wesley:
Excuse me. You want to talk to Mister Fisk, you make an appointment. Okay?

Wilson Fisk:
It's all right, Wesley. (to Nelson) I know who you are. You're the blind lawyers from Hell's Kitchen.

Franklin:
Actually, actually he's the blind one. I'm deaf.

Fisk:
(chuckles) Give them a card, Wesley. I'm always on the lookout for new blood.

Matt Murdock:
I'm sorry, Mister Fisk, my partner's a little overzealous. We can't represent you.

Fisk:
Why's that?

Franklin:
Yes, why is that, Mister Murdock?

Matt:
Because we only handle clients who are innocent.

Fisk:
(chuckles) "Innocent", he says. That's pretty funny. You know, I've learned one thing in all my years in this business.

Matt:
What's that?

Fisk:
Nobody's innocent. Nobody. Have a great time at the party. (Fisk and Wesley exit)

Franklin:
I just... Matt, for one night I just wish, I just... (he spots Elektra, in an evening gown, on the balcony) Matt, I just wish I could give you my eyes for one night.

(On the dance floor, Elektra reaches up to remove Matt's dark glasses)

Elektra:
Do you mind?

Matt:
Uh, no, I just... sometimes it makes people uncomfortable, that's all.

Elektra:
Not me. But you should know that the only reason I got dressed up for this thing was that I wanted to look beautiful for you. I wish you could see me tonight.

Matt:
Me, too.

(Nikolas Natchios is watching Elektra on the dance floor; Wilson Fisk approaches him from behind)

Fisk:
I think she's happy. I haven't seen her smile like that since her mother was killed. Poor girl, right in front of her eyes.

Natchios:
Why do you have to bring that up now?

Fisk:
History has a way of repeating itself.

Natchios:
What are you saying?

Fisk:
Just saying goodbye, old friend. Just saying goodbye.

(At Nikolas Natchios' funeral)

Matt:
I know how you feel.

Elektra:
You don't know how I feel. I want revenge.

Matt:
Revenge won't make the pain go away. Trust me. I know.

Elektra:
There's no place for me now.

Matt:
Yes, there is. Stay. Stay with me. Please.

(Elektra starts to leave)

Matt:
Elektra. Elektra, wait! Please.

(Wilson Fisk enters his office to find Bullseye sitting at his desk)

Fisk:
Now how did you get past my security?

Bullseye:
Oh, you mean that guy? (chuckling, he points to corpse on the floor)

Fisk:
Was that really necessary?

Bullseye:
Necessary? No. It was fun.

Bullseye:
The Devil is mine.

Fisk:
Really? I've heard that before, all too many times. But answer me this. How do you kill a man without fear?

Bullseye:
By puttin' the fear in him.

Fisk:
Ah... I like that. But first, give Elektra all my best. Is there anything else?

Bullseye:
Yeah, I want a bloody costume.

Ben Urich:
Matt, it's Ben Urich.

Matt Murdock:
I know who it is. What do you want?

Urich:
I got a lead on my story. I think that Natchios was set up by the real Kingpin.

Matt:
Why are you telling me this?

Urich:
They say the Kingpin doesn't just kill you. He kills your whole family. I think your girl's in trouble. I thought you might know somebody that could protect her.

(Elektra, armed and suited up in leather, attacks Daredevil intent on murder)

Elektra:
Remember me?

Daredevil:
It wasn't me! Stop! It was a hitman named Bullseye. I didn't kill your father!

Elektra:
Liar.

Kingpin:
What's wrong, Wesley?

Wesley:
Have you seen the papers today? Somebody's been talking.

Kingpin:
Somebody always does. Wesley, did you know back in ancient times, they would cut the tongues out of their bodyguards their first day on the job? You think that's horrible, don't you? Because you don't like the physical stuff. I do. (he brutally kills one of his guards) Wesley, handkerchief.

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"I had lost my sight, but I got something back in return. My remaining four senses functioned with superhuman sharpness. But most amazing of all, my sense of sound gave off a kind of radar sense." (as narrator)

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"High above the city streets, I trained my body and my senses. An acute sense of touch gave me both strength and balance, until the city itself became my playground." (as narrator)

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"I waited outside the Olympic for my father. In some ways, I'm still waiting. Nobody cared much about the death of a washed-up prizefighter... nobody but me." (as narrator)

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"I would keep my promise. I would help those that others wouldn't. I would seek justice... one way or another." (as narrator)

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"Can one man make a difference? There are days when I believe, and others when I have lost all faith."

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"When it rains, it's like there's a rooftop on the world. Each raindrop makes a sound the first time it falls on a surface. Just then, it's like I-I... it's like I can see again. And I-I just want to... I just want to see you."

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"I tried, Father. I tried. This is who I am."

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"This one's for you, Dad."

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"If there are no eyewitnesses, I mean, you know, Bigfoot has eyewitnesses."

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
(sat on a burning pool table) Quesada! Time to give the Devil his due!

Matt Murdock/Daredevil:
"Hell’s Kitchen is my neighborhood. I prowl the rooftops and alleyways at night. Watching from the darkness. Forever in darkness. A guardian devil." (last lines as narrator)

Elektra Natchios:
"My name's Elektra Natchios. Hmm!" (after defeating Matt in a martial-arts bout in a park)

Elektra Natchios:
"Stay with me. Stay."

Elektra Natchios:
"It's just... good things don't happen to me very often. When they do, I get scared."

Elektra Natchios:
"You don't know how I feel. I want revenge."

Elektra Natchios:
"Remember me?" (dressed in leather fighting gear and brandishing a pair of sais)

Elektra Natchios:
"Good. Then, this will be quick." (being restrained by Daredevil)

Elektra Natchios:
"I want to look into the eyes of my father's killer as he dies."

Elektra Natchios:
"He has to pay for what he's done."

Elektra Natchios:
"I'll find you."

Bullseye:
"More peanuts, please."

Bullseye:
"The Devil is mine!"

Bullseye:
"He... made me... miss."

Bullseye:
"I want a bloody costume!" changed to "I want a f***ing costume!" in the director's cut.

Bullseye:
"The first one's a warning... padre."

Bullseye:
"'Man without fear' (chuckles) Looks like I found something you're afraid of. Let's bring on the pain! Let's bring on the noise!"

Bullseye:
(after Daredevil lets a bullet go through both of Bullseye's hands) "My hands! You took away my hands!"

Bullseye:
(last line of the film) "Mmm... bulls-eye."

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin:
"I want you to create a paper trail. One that can be traced to Natchios."

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin:
"The press want a Kingpin, so I'll give them a Kingpin. Get me Bullseye."

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin:
"Nobody's innocent. Nobody."

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin:
"I'm just saying goodbye, old friend. Just saying goodbye."

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin:
"There's an old saying that too much pride can kill a man."

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin:
"I was raised in the Bronx, Wesley. This is something you wouldn't understand."

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin:
"It's a shame you came here wounded. I would've loved to fight you in your prime. They called you the man without fear. If that's true, why are you afraid to show your face?"

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin:
(after he pulled off Daredevil's mask, and is laughing) "No, I don't believe this. No, no. The blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen?"

Franklin Nelson:
"There are alligators in the sewers! Don't ride my ass about the alligators. I got a friend in Sanitation, okay? He's seen them!"

Franklin Nelson:
"She's... hideous. I don't know if its a fungus or some kind of congenital birth defect, but as your attorney in this matter I advise you to take no further action."

Franklin Nelson:
"As your attorney in this matter, I advise you to marry the woman immediately."

Franklin Nelson:
"Look at me, Matt. I'm a 'plus one'. 'Plus ones' don't get anywhere by themselves. They need somebody to bring them. That's why it's 'plus one'."

Franklin Nelson:
"Do you or do you not concede that there are alligators in the sewers? Please answer the question."

Good. Then, this will be quick.

(Elektra breaks free from Daredevil)

Stay, stay with me.
