(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.

(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... (2 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?

(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 Nelson: Your client, Mister Lee, he made his first payment today.
Matt Murdock: That's great. You should be very happy.
Franklin: Yeah, it's fantastic. He paid in fluke. Fluke is a fish, Matt. Did you know that? Because I sure as hell didn't.
Matt: Mister Lee is a good man, and he-he doesn't have a lot of money, and he goes fishing on the weekends.
Franklin: Yeah, well, 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'?
...
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.
Matt Murdock: That's great. You should be very happy.

Matt Murdock: Uh, I was just looking for some honey. Could you help me out?
Elektra (without looking up): Right in front of you.
Matt: Well... could you be a little more specific?
Elektra: What, are you --
Matt: Blind? Yeah.
Elektra: Oh, I am so sorry!
Matt: It's okay. (extends a hand) Matt Murdock.
'Elektra: (shakes hands) Nice to meet you, Matt Murdock.
Matt: Nice to meet you, uh... 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?
...
(Later, during a pause in the fighting.)
Matt Murdock: Does every guy have to go through all this just to find out your name?
Elektra: Try asking for my number.

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: 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.

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

(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.
