Quotes 

• Frank Castle : You hit them and they get back up, I hit them and they stay down.

• Daredevil : Why didn't you take off my mask?

  Frank Castle : Because I don't give a shit who you are.

• Daredevil : I don't do this to hurt people.

  Frank Castle : Yeah, so what is that, just a job perk?

  Daredevil : I don't kill anyone.

  Frank Castle : Is that why you think you're better than me?...

  Daredevil : No.

  Frank Castle : Is that why you think you're a big hero?

  Daredevil : It doesn't matter what I think or what I am. People don't have to die.

  Frank Castle : Come on, Red. You believe that?

  Daredevil : I believe it's not my call, and it ain't yours either.

  Frank Castle : Somebody ask you to put on that costume or you take it upon yourself? You know what I think of you, hero? I think you're a half-measure. I think you're a man who can't finish the job. I think that you're a coward. You know the one thing that you just can't see? You know you're one bad day away from being me.

• Daredevil : You shot up a hospital.

  Frank Castle : Yeah, and nobody got hurt who didn't deserve it.

  Daredevil : Oh, yeah. What about you, Frank? What happens the day someone decides you deserve it?

  Frank Castle : I'll tell you what, they better not miss.

• Daredevil : You run around this city like it's your damn shooting gallery.

  Frank Castle : Yeah, what do you do? What do you do? You act like it's a playground. You beat up the bullies with your fists. You throw 'em in jail, everybody calls you a hero, right? And then a month, a week, a day later, they're back on the streets doing the same goddamn thing!

• Daredevil : You ever doubt yourself, Frank?

  Frank Castle : Not even for a second.

  Daredevil : Really? Really? You never think for one second, "Shit, I just killed a human being".

  Frank Castle : That's being pretty generous.

  Daredevil : A human being who did a lot of stupid shit, maybe even evil, but had one small piece of goodness in him. Maybe just a scrap, Frank, but something. And then you come along, and that one tiny flicker of light gets snuffed out forever.

  Frank Castle : I think you're wrong

  Daredevil : Which part?

  Frank Castle : All of it. I think there's no good in the filth that I put down, that's what I think.

  Daredevil : And how do you know?

  Frank Castle : I just know. Look around, Red. This city, it stinks. It's a sewer. It stinks and it smells like shit and I can't get the stink out of my nose. I think that this world, it needs men that are willing to make the hard call. I think you and me are the same.

  Daredevil : That's bullshit, Frank, and you know it!

  Frank Castle : Only I do the one thing that you can't. You hit 'em, and they get back up. I hit 'em, and they stay down. It's permanent. I make sure that they don't make it out on the street again.

• Frank Castle : I'm not a bad guy, Red.

  Daredevil : You wanna explain that to the orphans and the widows of the men you killed?

  Frank Castle : For Christ's sake, that's what you think? I'm just some crazy asshole going around unloading on whoever I want to?

  Daredevil : Yeah, that's exactly what I think.

  Frank Castle : That it?

  Daredevil : You think you're anything else?

  Frank Castle : I think that the people I kill need killing, that's what I think.

  Daredevil : You left men hanging from meat hooks!

  Frank Castle : They got off easy, in my opinion.

• Daredevil : War changes people. Sometimes they see things they can't unsee. Come home to find home's not there anymore. It changed.

  [sighs] 

  Daredevil : Or maybe they did.

  Frank Castle : Yeah, fair enough.

  Daredevil : I'm just saying, I know it can be hard.

  Frank Castle : Do you? You know it can be hard? You run around this city in a pair of little boy's pajamas and a mask. You go home at night, right? Take that mask off, maybe you think it wasn't you who did those things, maybe it was somebody else. Well, see, soldiers we don't wear masks, yeah? We don't get that privilege.

• Daredevil : Redemption, Frank. It's real. And it's possible. The people you murder deserve another chance.

  Frank Castle : What, to kill again? Rape again? Is that what you want?

  Daredevil : No, Frank. To try again, Frank. To try. And if you don't get that, there's something broken in you you can't fix, and you really are a nutjob

  Frank Castle : What did you say?

  Daredevil : You're unhinged Frank. You are. You think God made you a one-man firing squad. But you're wrong. There is goodness in people, even in you. And you're gonna have to kill me, 'cause I'm never gonna stop coming for you, until I take you down.

• Frank Castle : They say you don't hear the bullet that gets you. Always thought that sounded like a bunch of bullshit to me. How about you, Red? When I cracked off your forehead the other night did you hear that?

• Frank Castle : What kind of name is The Devil of Hell's Kitchen, anyway? I mean, really?

  Daredevil : I didn't ask for that name.

  Frank Castle : I'm sorry, I don't see you running from it.
