Charlie Cox: Matt Murdock

Quotes 

• 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.

• Foggy Nelson : What about Elena's landlord? That Tully guy? I mean, he's gotta know something about this.

  [Stands] 

  Foggy Nelson : See if I can track him down.

  Matt Murdock : Use the phone.

  Foggy Nelson : Oh, come on!

  Matt Murdock : I'm making that rule number two.

  Foggy Nelson : Your rules suck. I want that on record.

• Matt Murdock : I know you're just trying to do the right thing here, but we have to be smart about this.

  Foggy Nelson : We?

  Matt Murdock : First rule, no more skulking around, asking to get hurt. We do this, it's gonna be on our turf. The legal system.

  Karen Page : That's not nearly as heroic as you might think.

  Matt Murdock : I don't want anyone to be a hero, Karen. I want you to be safe. And I want to protect this firm and everything we're trying to build here. We know the law. We'll use it to our advantage. Agreed?

  Foggy Nelson : Do we have a choice?

  Matt Murdock : Not so much.

  Karen Page : Yeah, okay. So, what's the second rule?

  Matt Murdock : ...I don't know, I'm making this up as I go along.

• 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?
