Quotes[]
- Brett Mahoney: Now, we got history, so I'll tell you as a friend, you stay out of this shit. If you got a witness, the smart move is to turn him over and walk away. Hell's Kitchen is about to explode.
- Foggy Nelson: You hear that? He called me a friend.
....
- Foggy Nelson: You know, Karen's been asking questions. The cuts, the scrapes, the bruises.
- Matt Murdock: What do you tell her?
- Foggy Nelson: You have a drinking problem.
- Matt Murdock: That's horrible.
- Foggy Nelson: Well, it's more plausible than you put on a devil suit and beat the shit out of strangers.
....
- Matt Murdock: What have we got?
- Karen Page: All right. Well, uhh, Mister Marino's dog was viciously beaten by his neighbor after the dog, umm defiled the neighbor's statue of Saint Francis.
- Matt Murdock: "Defiled"?
- Karen Page: Umm, humped repeatedly until completion.
- Foggy Nelson: That's a dog I want to defend.
- Karen Page: Oh, he's he's all yours, cowboy.
....
- Brett Mahoney: DA's going bat shit trying to figure it out. This isn't the first hit that matches this MO. Call it massive gang-on-gang overkill. Downtown office thinks we got new players in Hell's Kitchen, and whoever they are, we're talking some kind of paramilitary-type organization with the training, knowledge and hardware to take out half the city.
- Matt Murdock: What do they want?
- Brett Mahoney: hat's what's driving the DA nuts. We don't know who they are. We just know who they're not.
- Foggy Nelson: I'd say they're definitely not fond of the Irish.
- Brett Mahoney: Ya think?
....
- Foggy Nelson: You're a lot of things. Bulletproof is not one of them.
....
- Brett Mahoney: There's a total clampdown on any of this getting out to the press. I'd like to keep it that way.
- Matt Murdock: Brett you can trust us.
- Foggy Nelson: We're lawyers.
