100+ Best 'Marvel's The Punisher' Quotes: "The truth must be taken." | Page 7 of 8

(David and Frank are listening to a radio interview of Karen and a senator about gun control)

Senator: Guns are a toxin in our society. In the wrong hands, they wreak terrible results. It's barely a year since this city was terrorized by the Punisher.

Karen Page: You know, uh, that's hardly the same thing. Frank Castle killed murderers and drug dealers.

Senator: But where's the line, Karen? Frank Castle decided he knew better than the law and was tried for killing 37 people.

Karen Page: Frank Castle's not a terrorist.

David Lieberman: Thirty-seven?

Frank Castle: That they know about.

Radio host: Castle was a hero to many who felt that he was doing what cops failed to do.

Quote from The Punisher 1x09 - Frank Castle: There's nothing in this world I hate as much as a goddamn bomb. Goddamn cowards. They think they're gonna scare people into making them do what they want. They're wrong. It just pisses people off, you know, brings them together, makes them stronger. New York doesn't forget. Whoever this is, they're in for a world of shit.

Billy Russo (to his mother): Would you change anything? If you could? Because, you... you had a choice. Me, I never did. You saw to that. And yet... here I am. You know, all those years in those group homes... gives you a lot of time to think. And now I'm returning the favor. Maybe you did me a solid, you know? I mean, the way I see it, you want weak kids, give 'em everything. But if you... If you want 'em strong... treat 'em hard. You know, I'd have given you... the world. I'd have given you... anything that you ever wanted... if you'd just wanted me. See you next week, Mom.

Frank Castle: You're probably gonna wanna punch me in the mouth for saying this, but... things are gonna get better for you.

Sarah Lieberman: Have they gotten better for you?

Frank Castle: For me? Yeah. Yeah, look, I'm alone. I've been alone so long, I... I like it. You know, I hide in it. One thing I know is that the only way out... is to find something that you care about. Those kids, they might drive you crazy. They might... They might make you completely batsh*t, but... they're the reason you're gonna get through this.

Sarah Lieberman: Have you found something to do that for you?

Frank Castle: Uh... maybe. Maybe.

Frank Castle (about his wife): We were, uh... we were far from perfect, but... when I remember her, it's like all the sh*tty stuff, it fades away, you know, it just... When I think about her, she's always got that smile...

Frank Castle: I need to find these b*stards that took 'em from me. I gotta kill 'em.

Karen Page: So where does that end, Frank? Because I look at you and... my heart breaks because all I can see is just this endless, echoing loneliness.

Frank Castle: I'm not lonely, Karen.

Karen Page: Bullsh*t. We are all lonely. I sometimes think that that is all that life is, we're just... We're just fighting not to be alone.

Frank Castle: So what do you want? What should I do? Should I let it go?

Karen Page: No, but I want there to be an after. For you.

William Rawlins: We are a fortunate people in this country. Most Americans wake up in warm beds, suck down coffee with their breakfast and go about their lives. And good for them. They deserve that life. They deserve it not because they earned it as individuals... but because we've earned it as a nation. As a people. But not all of us get to take that life for granted. Our job at the CIA is to identify and contain any dangers to it. It's a job that's not always clean, or pretty, or fun. I've watched friends die... and I've left good men behind in sh*tty countries because that was the home they were born to. I don't know a single operative with any years under their belt who hasn't had to do something that gave them nightmares. But we endure those nightmares... embrace them, even... so that the rest of America can sleep peacefully. That's why you're here. My name is William Rawlins. Welcome to the CIA.

Lewis Wilson: You got that over there? Your leg.

Curtis Hoyle: "You got that over there." Are you listening to yourself? I didn't get nothing over there. I lost it. No, seriously, on a... Somewhere on a Baghdad rooftop is a size 11 shoe with my foot still in it.

Lewis Wilson: Yeah, well, you know what I meant.

Curtis Hoyle: I think I do know what you meant. But I don't think you know what you meant. You see, when you look in a mirror, you still see a soldier. And out on these streets, that soldier is invisible to everyone else. If only you'd got something over there, like half your face burnt off or a hook for a hand. That's what you meant.

David Lieberman (to Frank): I keep forgetting about your thing, Frank. Only do unto bad guys. Rob Badass Peter so you can kill Psycho Paul, so on and so forth. What do you call that? Is that a code? I mean, is it a mantra? It's not a mantra, right? Is it an ethos? What if we got you a little pair of green tights and a pointy cap with a feather in it...

David Lieberman: Your Operation Cerberus... doesn't exist. There's no official record. There's no congressional approval. It's totally off the books. You know what that means? They turned you into a hit man, Frank. Now, I don't care if we trust each other or not. I don't wanna be blood brothers. That stuff is for kids in tree houses. But you and me, we want the same thing right now. So work with me.

Frank Castle: One condition.

David Lieberman: Yeah, name it.

Frank Castle: They die. Yeah? Every single one of 'em. No trials. No bullsh*t. They die.

David Lieberman: Yeah, I can live with that.

Curtis Hoyle: We take matters into our own hands. We are not the only soldiers to feel let down by the country we serve. I have friends who have been betrayed in ways that you guys can't even imagine. Everything taken from them. A good man risked his life to save mine. Yeah. And I decided not to throw away that gift he gave me. So I got a job... started my second life. And now I take pride in living that life well.

Frank Castle (to David): Pain. You can get used to pain, Lieberman. You can adjust to it. You can adjust to pretty much anything. Just as long as there's routine, right? Routine. Human mind, it craves it. Needs it. But if you take that away, that... That's when you start to lose your sh*t. When you take away day and night and food. No water, no patterns. You know what's crazy, Lieberman? Even though you know what's happening... I'm telling you that it's happening... Even though you know it... rationalizing it won't do sh*t. People think that torture is pain. It's not pain. It's time. It's time to slowly realize that your life, it's over. It's over, Lieberman. Now all you got is the nightmare.

Karen Page: Hey, when am I gonna see you?

Frank Castle: You want to?

Karen Page: It'd mean you're still alive. Believe it or not, I actually care what happens to you... which makes precisely one of us. Just, uh... be careful.

Frank Castle (to Curt): There was a group of us. We got sheep dipped to CIA. It was... interrogation and assassination. It was... It wasn't war. Not like we knew it. Truth is, Curt... I was past caring. That sh*t follows you home no matter how hard you try, it follows you home, and Maria, she knew it. She knew it. The kids knew it, the... Sometimes I'd catch 'em, they... They'd be looking at me and they'd have this look. Look at me like they didn't even know who I was.

Curtis Hoyle: Do me a favor, Frank. Don't be a wallowing a**hole. Before I have to take this fake leg off and beat you to death with it. Just imagine your tombstone. "Frank Castle lost an a$$-kicking contest to a one-legged man." I'd do it.

Frank Castle: Yeah. I'd actually kinda like to see that.
