Francis Castle (Earth-TRN666)/Quotes

All right, look, friend, all cards on the table here. Ya can't kill me. I'm about as dead as it gets, so let's just calm down and be rational because all of this time-travel @#$% is already confusing as @#$% and this ain't--

What's the difference between a fairy tale and a Thanos story? A fairy tale begins with "Once upon a time..." but Thanos stories... well, they begin with "Man... you ain't never gonna believe this @#$%!"

Can't kill him. Can't leave him. Kid stays here, he'll turn into a monster. Or, Hell, maybe he will no matter what. Maybe it don't matter how much you change things... how many chances you get... maybe there's no such thing as redemption for the damned. But then again... @#$% it. Only one way to find out.

Hey, Watcher! Watch this baby! And don't let him see what I'm doing! @#$%'s about to get real @#$%$& explicit.

I've been a whole mess of different things in my time. A son. Soldier. Husband. Father. Widower. Hero. Villain. Vigilante. Murderer. Monster. Devil. (Technically I was an angel once too. But I don't much talk about that.) Been a Herald of Galactus, a pawn of the Devil and everything and anything you can damn well imagine. There ain't an inch a' me I ain't sold or broken. Not a sin I ain't committed. Not a day goes by where I don't think about all the people I could have saved... or the things I got wrong along the way... but if there's one thing I've learned in all my time, it's that... it's okay to make mistakes... as long as you only make them once.

You know who else is a hero? Your dad.

So I guess what I'm saying is... war can mess up even the best of us, even nerds.

Heh. Suppose you're right, Thor. There's nothing very worthy about me, is there? Name's Frank Castle. I'm the guy who's here to murder the Avengers. I won't lie... this is gonna get messy.

You're trying to beat me with your houseplant? You sure you guys are the Avengers?

I know it hurts. I know. But you earned it, pirate. Inch by inch. And for once you're doing a kindness. I need that rotten soul of yours to regrow my legs.

I sold my soul for a few more pulls of the trigger. Having no idea what forever really meant. And after 1,000 years of obsessively punishing the guilty, only thing I can tell you for sure... true innocence is rare. And real damned delicate.

I've never been much good -- at saving the innocent.

Cammi! How in Hell are you alive?

Mephisto tried to warn me. Even as he was setting his hook. Knew damned well I wouldn't listen... but he said it out loud. It cost me eternity -- but I was only buying the blink of an eye.

I was a Marine, a grieving father and husband... a vigilante, a ghost, a herald to a devil... a servant to yet another devil... so you can imagine a good night's sleep is... elusive. At best. I've seen every kind of evil you could possibly imagine... and some you definitely can't. Unfortunately for me, I have a pretty vivid imagination...

But other than my powers disappearing, a second self leaving a trail of death and a bunch of bounty hunters trying to murder me... I feel completely--... fine...

Should we be at all concerned about the ominous aura surrounding us...? No...? You're good...? Cool. Then I'm sure it's nothing to worry abo--

You say stupid, I say trying to combine all the different parts of me by creating a giant explosion... potato, potahto.

Sadists, psychos and killers. Don't matter what planet they're from. All deserve to be punished.
