Daredevil

Movie Daredevil
Year 2003
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!
Bullseye: [screams] My hands! My hands! You took away my hands... show mercy?
Elektra: [after being stabbed] Help me...
Daredevil: Stay... stay with me...
Ben Urich: Go get 'em Matt.
Ben Urich: Go get 'em, Matt.
Daredevil: [nods] Hell's Kitchen is my neighborhood. I prowl the rooftops and alleyways in darkness. Forever in darkness... A guardian devil.
Bullseye: You're good, baby, I'll give you that... but me? I'm magic.
[Elektra is reading]
Matt Murdock: Excuse me, could you tell me where I could find some honey?
Elektra [not looking up]: It's right in front of you.
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?
[points to dead man with pencils in his Adam's apple on floor]
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.
Father Everett: [to Matt] And I'm not too keen on the costume, either.
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.
[During a playful, flirtatious fight]
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. Your 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 here 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.
[Bullseye has used airline peanuts to suffocate an annoying passenger]
Flight Attendant: Anything else I can get you, sir?
Bullseye: More peanuts... please.
Kingpin: I grew up in the Bronx, Westley. This is something *you* wouldn't understand.
[Matt has smelled Elektra's perfume before she steps into the diner]
Matt Murdock: By the door... tell me.
Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson: [gaping at her] She's... hideous.
[to young Matt]
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.
Daredevil: Hey, how ya doing?
Jose Quesada: [being strangled] Didn't you hear? I was acquitted.
Daredevil: Not by me.
Daredevil: Hey, how ya doing?
Jose Quesada: [Being strangled by the billy-club cable] Didn't you hear? I was acquitted.
Daredevil: Not by me.
Jose Quesada: Who made you judge?
Daredevil: Wh - You did.
Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson: I hate to bring it up again, but I spent 3,000 dollars on that seeing eye dog...
Matt Murdock: I didn't ask you for the dog ; I didn't want a dog!
Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson: Can I tell you something else? Seeing eye dogs bond for life - Yours ran away. What does that tell you about how emotionally available you are?
Matt Murdock: [laughs]
Daredevil: [Director's Cut Version] This is my confession, Father.
Father Everett: [whispering] God's mercy is infinite. All you gotta do is ask.
Daredevil: Everything I had has been taken from me. Now I'm supposed to ask for mercy. I don't ask for mercy - People ask me!
Father Everett: Oh, is that a fact?
Matt Murdock: [Director's Cut version/Narrating] Violence doesn't discriminate. It hits all of us... the rich, the poor, the healthy, the sick. It comes as cold and bracing as a winter breeze off the Hudson. Until it sinks into your bones... leaving you with a chill you can't shake. They say there's not rest for the wicked. But what about the good? The battle of Good vs. Evil is never-ending... because evil always survives... with the help of evil men. As for Daredevil, well... soon the world will know the truth. That this is a city born of heroes, that one man CAN make a difference.
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.
[pause]
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***to pay my phone bill, you know what I'm sayin'?
[Matt has taken Elektra up the roof, and it is about to rain]
Matt Murdock: 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... it's like I can see again. And... and I just wanna... I just wanna see you.
Elektra: [smiles] OK.
Matt Murdock: Here it comes.
[it begins to rain, and Matt can now 'see' her]
Matt Murdock: My God... you are so beautiful.
[He kisses her. Then Matt hears men fighting down on the street and pulls away from her]
Elektra: What?... Matt, what's wrong?... Matt?
Matt Murdock: I'm sorry... I have to go.
[turns from her]
Elektra: [she takes ahold of his wrist] Stay. Stay with me.
Daredevil: [voiceover] As for Daredevil. Well... soon the world will know the truth. That this is a city born of heroes. That one man CAN make a difference.
Nikolas Natchios: New York is not a safe place tonight.
Daredevil: I don't ask for mercy, father. People ask me.
Father Everett: Oh, is that a fact?
Father Everett: [watching Daredevil go after the Kingpin] Good luck, son.
Bullseye: [in Director's Cut DVD] I need a ***ing costume!
[referring to Nelson]
Elektra: Friend of yours?
Matt Murdock: You know, I have never seen him before.
Daredevil: [from the Director's Cut] Quesada! Time to give the Devil his due!
Daredevil: Justice is served.
[after their fight on the playground, Elektra follows Matt on a dark street]
Matt Murdock: [stops] Does this mean you want a rematch?
Elektra: [smiling] How did you know I wasn't a mugger?
Matt Murdock: Muggers don't usually wear rose oil or high heels... at least, this far from Chelsea.
