Franklin Nelson (Earth-616)/Quotes

Imagine... A savage wild-man appears in Britain, seemingly from nowhere!

I've warned you not to go prancing around town alone the way you do, Matt! I know how you like to be independent -- and I respect you for it -- but you can overdo that lone wolf bit!

Face it Foggy, You're all washed up.

Okay, then let's say I'm the new Evel Knievel.

I look almost fat on television.

I'd know that grinning hyena anywhere -- even in a new costume! That man's -- the Jester!

That was another brillant defensh Matthew! Thish bottle of champagne ish dedicated to you!

I'm a failure... a stupid rolypoly Teddy Bear ... I've let you carry me ever since college...

Everything's okay now Matt. Old Fog came through again .. hired us some protection!

The name's Nelson, "Guts" Nelson.

Becky Blake didn't lie. I did.

If, If, If... the story of my life.

We're out of business, Matt! Ka-Put. Fini. The End.

Sometimes you're kind of hard to figure out, pal.

Well, excuse me, dudley Daredevil... We can't all be superpowered judges of character.

Feel like God's punishing me, Matt. For cheating on Liz.

Matt, there's somebody you've just gotta meet. This is miss Karen Page, she's gonna be our new secretary!

I'm going to ask Karen to marry me.

You don't have to, Matt...you're fired.

You were in on this from the start, weren't you? Just like Judge Walden before you... another of Norman Osborn's cronies, just sweeping it all under the carpet!

No. I'm not going to walk again. I'm not. You may have turned your back on me, Matt... But I haven't turned my back on you. Hell, you've saved me more times than I can remember... It's about time I returned the favor!

You still want to be friends? Then get some real help and stop pretending you're okay. Until then...we're through.

And that is what's like to live in the orbit of Matt Murdock. He will confound you. He will frustrate you. He will make your choices FOR you, he will manipulte you without CONSULTING you, and you will want to PUNCH him in his self-assured face at least ONCE AN HOUR. He will make you wonder EVERYTHING SINGLE DAY why you ever put up with him, because the Devil is FULL OF TRICKS. But he will care about you in a way that no one else could. When it comes down to it, I guess I don't really need the world to know I exist. I'm just glad HE knows.

The truth is that you don't keep secrets to shield anyone but you. You think it's okay because you've convinced yourself that keeping secrets is a brave and noble act. Stop thinking that. It's not true. That's not your ammunition, Matty. When you were a kid, you got blinded just trying to help an old man across the street. That wasn't fair. Ever since then, you've devoted your life to balancing those scales. To making the world a fairer place for everyone else despite the fact that it is a vast, random entity of incomrephensible power. You get up every morning and you fight an unjust universe because you think you can make a dent. That is exactly the level of arrogance Kirsten and I will always trust to protect us.

This is the last time I help you. Never again. Matt.

Right, he's charging people admission to gawk at the thing. Charming. And, incidentally, about the most New York thing I've ever heard.

It's always a trap, Matt.

You are not... the only hero... in this city. But you are its only mayor.

Remember who you are!

I just wanted -- first of all, thank you for, uh, turning off your sparkle fingers and hearing what I have to say. I think in the end, we can arrive at a settlement that will benefit us all. Oh, God. Can I get a sidebar?!

I've warned you not to go prancing around town alone the way you do, Matt! I know how you like to be independent -- and I respect you for it -- but you can overdo that lone wolf bit!

I always felt that you should have become a magician. Now I know why.
