Jessica Jones, Season 1

[Jessica walks out into the precinct proper. All the cops have guns trained on each other. Kilgrave stands on the other side of the room.]

Kilgrave:
Oh, everyone, calm down! You're killing the mood! ...Jessica. You're not surprised to see me. You had to know I'd come for you. Not this fast? [pause] I'll admit to keeping eyes on you. Spies are easy to come by for me.

Jessica:
Do whatever you're going to do to me, but let them go. Control me, but let them go.

Kilgrave:
I have absolutely no intention of controlling you. I want you to act on your own accord.

Jessica:
Act how? Suicide? Is that why you've been torturing me?

Kilgrave:
Oh, my god. Jessica, I knew you were insecure, but that's just sad. I'm not torturing you. Why would I? I love you.

Jessica:
You have been ruining my life...

Kilgrave:
You didn't have a life.

Jessica:
...as a demented declaration of love?

Kilgrave:
I was trying to show you what I see. I'm the only one who matches you. Who challenges you. Who'll do anything for you.

Jessica:
[scoffs] This is a sick joke. You have killed innocent people.

Kilgrave:
That milquetoast little man-boy? He interrupted me while I was leaving you a present, which, apparently, you didn't even find...Come on! You can't pretend he didn't irritate you, too. I wanted to slap him after thirty seconds! [pause] I know. I realize this will take time. But I'm gonna prove it to you.

[A cell phone begins ringing]

Kilgrave:
[irritated] Whose is that? [cell phone continues to ring] Whose phone is that?!

[Kilgrave approaches Detective Clemmons, the source of the ringing. Upon getting a silent confirmation that yes, this is his phone, Kilgrave takes Clemmons' phone and throws it at a wall, shattering it into pieces]

Kilgrave:
THE NEXT PERSON WHOSE PHONE RINGS HAS TO EAT IT!!! [Kilgrave begins pacing around the room and rubbing his hands over his face, trying to calm himself down] Crappy fluorescent lights and cockroaches and loud cell phones and the smell of piss! I AM TRYING TO PROFESS ETERNAL LOVE HERE, PEOPLE!

Jessica:
I'll come with you. To protect them. Not out of choice. You know me well. We can work out the rest.

Kilgrave:
Oh, please! I am new to love, but I do know what it looks like! I do watch television.

Jessica:
You're a deranged prick. You've never loved anyone in your repulsive life.

Kilgrave:
Do not presume to know! Before I met you, I got everything I ever wanted. And I didn't realize how unsatisfactory that was until you left me to die. You are the first thing - excuse me, person - that I wanted that walked away from me. You made me feel something I never had before. Yearning. I actually missed you.

Jessica:
Well, you've got me.

Kilgrave:
No, I don't. I'm hoping you'll choose me like I've chosen you. I believe that you will discover the same thing I did. That we're inevitable.
