Matt Murdock: [Elektra is leaving her father's funeral and Matt is waiting for her] I know how you feel.

Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson: Well, then, as your attorney in this matter I advise you to marry the woman immediately.

Bullseye: Hey, orphan, let's play.

Daredevil: You killed the only two people I ever loved. Why?

Kingpin: Business. It's all it ever 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.

Matt Murdock: So does every guy have to go through this just to find out your name?

[Director's Cut only]

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 laughs]

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?

Nikolas Natchios: New York is not a safe place tonight.

Daredevil: [from the Director's Cut] Quesada! Time to give the Devil his due!

Father Everett: [from the Director's Cut, Matt is sitting alone in the church] You know the great strength of the church? It's sense of community.

Matt Murdock: Morning, Father.

Father Everett: Good morning. This may come as a surprise to you Matthew, but we are open on Sunday.

Matt Murdock: I like the quiet.

Father Everett: I don't think so son, I think you like the solitude.

[pause]

Father Everett: And you find it in here, do you?

Matt Murdock: Sometimes. Sometimes not.

Father Everett: You don't have to go it alone. My confessional is open to you all the time. There's no keeping secrets from God, son. I tell you Matthew, spend thirty years in one of those boxes, and there's nothing I haven't heard.

Matt Murdock: Well, let's keep it that way.
