"I leave this as a declaration of intent so no one will be confused. Number one: Sic vis pacem, para bellum. Latin. The boot-camp sergeant made us recite it like a prayer. Sic vis pacem, para bellum. If you want peace, prepare for war." (Voice-over.)

The Punisher quotes
Page 1 of 5"Number two: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. Number three: In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy it is necessary to act outside the law-to pursue...natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment." (Voice-over.)
"God's gonna sit this one out."
"Those who do evil to others-the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists-you will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me...the Punisher." (Voice-over.)
I, uh, I've lived in seven cities in seven years, and in each one I've managed to find the one guy who'll treat me the worst. But I'm trying to fix that. You're Castle.
Used to be.
We saw you on T.V.
I don't have one.
I'm Joan. Dave's the one with all the, uh, the metal? And Bumpo's the one that...well, you can probably figure out which one Bumpo is. We're really sorry.
About what?
About your family.
Did you know them?
No.
I'm over it.
(Through the door, Joan sees a whiskey bottle on the table in Castle's otherwise bare apartment.)
Don't let your memories kill you.
They won't kill me.
Candelaria Vaya con Dios, Castle. Go with God.
God's gonna sit this one out.
"I made you kill your best friend. I made you kill your wife. And now I've killed you."
"Fourteen shipments are perfect. One goes bad and I get this - why? Because you want to scare me? There's no insurance in this business, you know that. So I'm not covering your **** losses! And Mike, if you don't like it, just remember one thing: I've got more guns than you do."
"Good business, murder? Did Saint pay you for each one, or does he get a group-rate discount?"
Detective
(Castle shows up at a press conference at police headquarters.)
Castle? Where have you been?
It's been five months since my family was killed. I don't see one man in jail.
Chief Morris Obviously, you're upset–
Upset? Is that the word? I used to get upset when I had a flat tire. I used to get upset when a plane was delayed. I used to get upset when the Yankees won the Series. So if that's what "upset" means, then how do I feel now? If you know the word, tell me, because I don't.
(Quentin Glass watches impassively while three hoodlums beat and kick Micky Duka.)
You sell homegrown pot by the ounce, Micky, not by the barrel. You sell badly-forged fake passports to Haitians. So what inspired you to become the Mr. Universe of international arms dealers? Micky, you should apologize for the death of Mr. Saint's youngest son.
Okay, I know how it looks, but Bobby, he buys pot from me. And, and when he found out what I was doing, he insisted on coming in. He put up half the cash. He came of his own free will! (One of the hoodlums kicks him.) If you're gonna kill me, will you leave my face alone - for my mother?
We just made your bail. Now, if I'd wanted to kill you I would have left you in jail, where we have friends, and in a way I can only describe as deeply pornographic, you would have been killed. But you're a small piece of shit, and I don't want the Karma of your death on my conscience. But on the other hand, maybe I don't believe in karma. So, guys–
No, no, no! I'll tell you anything you wanna know!
Then this'll be quick. I want to know one thing only: who brokered the deal?
His name's Otto Krieg. And if it's any comfort to Mr. Saint, he's dead too.
Howard Saint, (entering): Well, it's not. It's actually no comfort at all. But what might be comforting to me is watching the slow death of the man who was supposed to be taking care of my son and making sure he did not get into trouble.
"Close the club. Bring everyone in. We're going hunting."
"I bored the chambers and customized the triggers, and added some compensators. They used to be pretty good, but now they're nail-drivers." ~ Castle's Dad
"Good memories can save your life."
"God, I hate this job." (While climbing out of a body bag.)
