Partager la citation sur facebook "That place is gonna be crawling with people, rich people! People who pay their legal fees with money, not with fish, or with-with-with wheels of cheese, or with sports supplies! I'm gonna fill you in on a little secret, Matt.

Look, I didn't want to do this over the phone, but it's not like you've given me any choice. I mean, It's been three months, and I've never even seen your apartment. Every time we sleep together, I wake up in the morning alone. I mean, Jesus, where do you go at three o'clock in the morning?" ~ part of "Dear John" message on Matt Murdock's answering machine

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.

Daredevil: Justice.

Daredevil: Hey, how ya doing?
Jose Quesada: (being strangled) Didn't you hear? I was acquitted.
Daredevil: Not by me.

Daredevil: Okay...(grins) But you'll beat me there. (sweep kicks Quesada, tripping him and causing him to break his hip on the ledge, falling onto the tracks)

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... (two 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?
(Urich almost carelessly throws his cigarette on the platform, which ignites the Daredevil's insignia, engraved on the floor)
Urich: Got it.

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.

Partager la citation sur facebook 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, so I guess that's...
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'?

Partager la citation sur facebook 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: Uh, I was just looking for some honey. Could you help me out?
Elektra Natchios (without looking up): Right in front of you.
Matt: (chuckles) Well... could you be a little more specific?
Elektra: (looking up) What, are you...
Matt: Blind? Yeah.
Elektra: (shocked) I am so sorry!
Matt: It's okay.
Elektra: (about Nelson) Friend of yours?
Matt: You know, I've never seen him before. (extends a hand) Matt Murdock.
Elektra: (shakes hands) Nice to meet you, Matt Murdock.
Matt: Nice to meet you, uhh... I didn't get your name.
Elektra: I didn't give it. (she exits the coffee shop)

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?

Partager la citation sur facebook (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.

Partager la citation sur facebook Kingpin: What's wrong, Wesley?
Wesley: Have you seen the papers today? Somebody's been talking.
Kingpin: Somebody always does.

Partager la citation sur facebook Matt Murdock: Where'd you learn how to fight like that?
Elektra Natchios: My father. He had me study with a different sensei every year since I was five years old.
Matt: Sounds like he wanted to turn you into some kind of a warrior.
Elektra: No. Just not a victim.

Partager la citation sur facebook 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.

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.

Partager la citation sur facebook 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?

Partager la citation sur facebook (Walking on the street at night, Matt Murdock stops and sniffs the air)
Matt: So, does this mean you want a rematch?
Elektra: (smiling) 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.

Partager la citation sur facebook (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.

Partager la citation sur facebook Ben Urich: Cool color. (commenting on Matt's cane)
Matt: I wouldn't know.

Partager la citation sur facebook 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.

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.

Partager la citation sur facebook (Nikolas Natchios is watching Elektra on the dance floor; Wilson Fisk approaches him from behind)
Fisk: I think she's happy. I haven't seen her smile like that since her mother was killed. Poor girl, right in front of her eyes.
Natchios: Why do you have to bring that up now?
Fisk: History has a way of repeating itself.
Natchios: What are you saying?
Fisk: Just saying goodbye, old friend. Just saying goodbye.

Partager la citation sur facebook (At Nikolas Natchios' funeral)
Matt: I know how you feel.
Elektra: You don't know how I feel. I want revenge.
Matt: Revenge won't make the pain go away. Trust me. I know.
Elektra: There's no place for me now.
Matt: Yes, there is. Stay. Stay with me. Please.
(Elektra starts to leave)
Matt: Elektra. Elektra, wait! Please.

Bullseye: Oh, you mean that guy? (chuckling, he points to corpse on the floor)
Fisk: Was that really necessary?
Bullseye: Necessary? No. It was fun.

Partager la citation sur facebook Bullseye: The Devil is mine.
Fisk: Really? I've heard that before, all too many times. But answer me this. How do you kill a man without fear?
Bullseye: By puttin' the fear in him.
Fisk: Ah... I like that. But first, give Elektra all my best. Is there anything else?
Bullseye: Yeah, I want a bloody costume.

Partager la citation sur facebook Ben Urich: Matt, it's Ben Urich.
Matt Murdock: I know who it is. What do you want?
Urich: I got a lead on my story. I think that Natchios was set up by the real Kingpin.
Matt: Why are you telling me this?
Urich: They say the Kingpin doesn't just kill you. He kills your whole family. I think your girl's in trouble. I thought you might know somebody that could protect her.

Father Everett: Yes.
Daredevil: Take it.
Father Everett: What about you?
Daredevil: I'm gonna finish this.
Father Everett: You can't fight like this, son!
Daredevil: Have faith, Father. Isn't that right?

Partager la citation sur facebook Bullseye: Fisk was right about you. He said you wouldn't go easy.
Daredevil: Fisk? Fisk is the Kingpin?
Bullseye: Yeah. That whole red rose thing? He loves that shite. It's not my style. He hired me to kill Natchios, and to gut your pretty girlfriend too. But me, I'm going for the hat-trick. I told him I'd do you for free.

Partager la citation sur facebook Wesley: There's been a problem.
Wilson Fisk: Bullseye failed.
Wesley: Correct.
Fisk: Send the guards home.
Wesley: (confused) B-but, sir...
Fisk: I was raised in the Bronx, Wesley. This is something you wouldn't understand.

Partager la citation sur facebook Wilson Fisk: It's a shame you came here wounded. I would've loved to fight you in your prime. They called you the man without fear. If that's true, why are you afraid to show your face? (pulls off Daredevil's mask and is laughing) No, I don't believe this. No, no. The blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen?
Matt Murdock: You killed the only two people I ever loved. Why?
Fisk: Business. That's all it ever is, is business. I was working for Fallon at the time. Your father was supposed to throw a fight. And your girl was in the wrong family at the wrong time. It's all business. (long pause) And you've been in my business for too long!

Partager la citation sur facebook Fisk: You hear that, blind man? Sirens. They're coming for you.
Matt: For me? Didn't you hear? The word's out on the Kingpin. They're coming for you. I can hear the police radios from here.
Fisk: No, no. I swear, I'll tell 'em who you are.
Matt: Yeah? Go ahead. Tell 'em. Tell all the guys at Ryker's all about how you got beat by a blind man. It'll be like blood in the water.
Fisk: Oh, don't worry about that. Cause I'll get out.
Matt: Yeah, I know. And I'll be waiting. Justice is served.

Partager la citation sur facebook Q: How did you prepare to play a blind man?

Partager la citation sur facebook There must be a woman, and in "Daredevil" there is one (only one, among all those major make characters, although the fragrant Ellen Pompeo has a slink-on). She is Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner), who, like her classical namesake, wants to avenge the death of her father. By day, she is, well, pretty much as she is by night. She and Daredevil are powerfully attracted to each other, and even share some PG-13 sex, which is a relief because when superheroes have sex at the R level, I am always afraid someone will get hurt. There is a rather beautiful scene where he asks her to stand in the rain because his ears are so sensitive they can create an image of her face from the sound of the raindrops.

Partager la citation sur facebook Q: In this movie you’re playing an unrelentingly bad villain. Did you work on finding the human side of the villain?

Partager la citation sur facebook Q: How does Daredevil compare to other comic book heroes?

Partager la citation sur facebook Last time it was like, ‘We love “Daredevil,” but we don’t want to do horns and a costume. It’s silly.’ It was like, ‘But that’s it. That’s the character.’ That’s the hard part. Fans get angry and are like, ‘He’s in a leather costume. That’s not what the comic is.’ You want to say, ‘Look, I love you guys, but you don’t understand. There was no costume! I fought just to get a costume and just to have the horns and the double d. That was months of fighting.’ Again though, no one is the bad guy here. They gave me a big shot and they were very supportive in the end, but these movies are difficult. They’re very hard.

Partager la citation sur facebook Daredevil…gets his ass kicked a lot in the movie. I think that’s cool! You know what I mean? Because anybody that gets hit fifty times in a Hong Kong movie and they’re fine, there’s always this like BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP and then there’s that one BOP and a guy goes flying and it’s like, what was so special about that one and why didn’t you do that sooner, dude? What have you been doing this for?

Partager la citation sur facebook So in ‘Daredevil’ I really wanted to show repercussions to the violence. When Daredevil gets beaten up you see what it’s doing to his body. He’s pulling a tooth out of his mouth, like in ‘Ninja Scroll,’ which kind of inspired that scene, or the pain pills and the knee surgery and the back scars. It’s like, wow, this guy’s only thirty years old and literally his body’s falling apart!
I think that’s really interesting. So I really wanted to show that he’s not impervious to pain. That when there’s a fight, he also gets hurt.

Partager la citation sur facebook I wanted to show like, instead of ‘golly gee, how great to be a superhero,’ I wanted to show the dark side of being a superhero. That was really appealing to me to show something different.
