Vondie Curtis-Hall: Ben Urich

Quotes 

• Ben Urich : [a Typed Editorial Heard Read in Voice Over]  'You get what you deserve'. It's an old saying. One that survived the years, because it's true. For the most part. But not for everyone. Some get more than they deserve. Because they believe they aren't like everyone else. That the rules, the ones people like me and you, the people that work and struggle to live our lives, just live, don't apply to them. That they can do anything and live happily ever after, while the rest of us suffer. They do this from the shadows. Shadows that we cast. With our indifference. With a pervasive lack of interest in anything that doesn't directly affect us, we, in the here and now. Or maybe it's just the shadow of weariness. Of how tired we are, struggling to claw our way back to a middle class that no longer exist, because of those who take more than they deserve. And they keep taking, until all that's left for the rest of us is a memory of how it used to be before the corporations and the bottom line decided we didn't matter anymore. But we do. You and I, the people of this city we still matter. There's someone in Hell's Kitchen that doesn't share this belief. He's been among us for quite some time. You've never heard his name. You've never seen his face. He's stayed in the shadows. Because men like him, men that want to control our city, our lives, fear the light and what it reveals. This man must no longer be allowed to operate in the darkness. If he has nothing to hide, let him step forward.

• Matt Murdock : [as Daredevil]  I didn't blow the hell out of the Russians. And I didn't shoot those cops.

  Ben Urich : So, what? You want me to write your side of this?

  Matt Murdock : No, I want you to expose the man responsible. The man who's tearing this city apart, piece by piece.

  Ben Urich : You got a name?

  Matt Murdock : Wilson Fisk.

  Ben Urich : Never heard of him.

  Matt Murdock : Because he doesn't want you to. That's what makes him dangerous. Living in the shadows, no one knowing who he is.

  Ben Urich : Said the man in the mask.

• Ben Urich : Right now they hate you. And have no idea who this Fisk guy is.

  Matt Murdock : [as Daredevil]  You can change that.

  Ben Urich : So could a hundred other reporters. Why me?

  Matt Murdock : There are good people who trust you, Ben. I have faith in their judgment.

  Ben Urich : Union Allied. Guessing that was you who dumped that guy on the doorsteps of the Bulletin?

  Matt Murdock : I think he's connected to Fisk.

  Ben Urich : That woman you saved that night? She's a good kid. Still believes you're a hero, despite what everybody's saying.

  Matt Murdock : People like her are why I do this.

  Ben Urich : If I do the smart thing and say no?

  Matt Murdock : Then I'll have to stop him some other way.

  Ben Urich : That has a ring of finality to it.

  Matt Murdock : I'm not a killer. I keep telling people that.

  Ben Urich : But that could change, couldn't it?
