Daredevil Quotes

Matt Murdock: The Book of Job. The story of God's perfect servant, Job. He prayed every day at dawn, with his knees on the ground, his face in the dirt. Slaughtered ten goats, one for each of his children, and burned them at the altar in God's honor. Of all of God's soldiers, Job, he was the most loyal.

Sister Maggie: I know the story, Matthew.

Matt Murdock: Oh. Then you know what happens next. God murdered all ten of his children in cold blood. Scorched every inch of Job's land. Lashed at his body till his skin was covered in bloody welts. God rained sh*t and misery on the life of his most perfect servant. And still... Job would not curse him. You know what I realized? Job was a pu**y. You see, that was me, Sister. I suffered willingly. I gave my, uh... sweat and blood and skin without complaint. Because I too believed I was God's soldier. Well, not anymore. I am what I do in the dark now. I bleed only for myself.

Sister Maggie: Angry, sarcastic... and stubborn. Maybe you don't have any friends.

Matt Murdock: Someone once told me that warriors were meant to be alone. That caring for people would make me weak.

Sister Maggie: Sounds like he needed to get laid.

Matt Murdock: Ha! That actually explains a lot. I mean, he was right, of course. I let people in, I pay the price. I won't make that mistake again.

Sister Maggie: The things I've heard you can do... You are blind, right? You weren't just faking it the whole time?

Matt Murdock: Congratulations. You finally caught me.

Sister Maggie: It's not a fair question?

Matt Murdock: Yeah, the accident blinded me. It just also, uh, sharpened my other senses...

Sister Maggie: I guess I shouldn't be surprised by any of this. You were always pissed off. Of course, back then, you were just a boy who lost his eyesight. And now, you're the Devil of Hell's Kitchen.

Matt Murdock: You've heard of me.

Sister Maggie: I live in an orphanage, not under a rock. I just never imagined it'd be one of ours running around in that Halloween costume.
