(Flashback to young Matt…)

Father Lantom: How many fights have you been in this week?

Matt Murdock: How many guys complained?

Father Lantom: None. ‘Cause no one wants to admit they got their butt kicked by a blind kid.

Matt Murdock: So you can’t prove that I did anything.

Father Lantom: I don’t want to, and I don’t need to. It’s not about proving anything, Matthew. Argumentation is a skill. Being argumentative is a sign.

Matt Murdock: A sign like a prophecy?

Father Lantom: A sign like you’re angry, Matthew. That’s a perfectly understandable reaction to your situation. But it’s not sustainable.

Matt Murdock: Or maybe it’s a sign that Sister Dora should stick to teaching math.

Father Lantom: You’re good… at arguing and deflecting and denying you’re angry to other people. But you’re gonna have to deal with your anger, Matthew. Find a way to… harness it. Or it will destroy you.
