Father Everett Quotes in Daredevil (2003)

Matt Murdock: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a week since my last...

Father Everett: What the hell are you playing at, Matt? You didn't come here for forgiveness. You came for permission, and I can't give you that.

Matt Murdock: Justice isn't a sin, Father.

Father Everett: No, but vengeance is. You see it every day on the street: violence begets more violence. Is that how you want to live your life? A lawyer during the day, and then judge and jury at night? Is that what you want?

Matt Murdock: Somebody has to do something.

Father Everett: But why you?

Matt Murdock: Because I can. Because I'm not afraid.

Father Everett: Well, I'm afraid FOR you, Matthew. Look, a man without fear is a man without hope. May God have mercy on you for your sins and grant you Everlasting Life, Amen.

Father Everett: I'm not too crazy about the outfit, either.

Daredevil: [Director's Cut Version] This is my confession, Father.

Father Everett: [whispering] God's mercy is infinite. All you gotta do is ask.

Daredevil: Everything I had has been taken from me. Now I'm supposed to ask for mercy. I don't ask for mercy - people ask me!

Father Everett: Oh, is that a fact?

Father Everett: [watching Daredevil go after the Kingpin] Good luck, son.

Father Everett: [from the Director's Cut, Matt is sitting alone in the church] You know the great strength of the church? Its sense of community.

Matt Murdock: Morning, Father.

Father Everett: Good morning. This may come as a surprise to you Matthew, but we are open on Sunday.

Matt Murdock: I like the quiet.

Father Everett: I don't think so, son, I think you like the solitude.

[pause]

Father Everett: And you find it in here, do you?

Matt Murdock: Sometimes. Sometimes not.

Father Everett: You don't have to go it alone. My confessional is open to you all the time. There's no keeping secrets from God, son. I tell you Matthew, spend thirty years in one of those boxes, and there's nothing I haven't heard.

Matt Murdock: Well, let's keep it that way.

[Father Everett finds Daredevil, badly wounded, in the church; Bullseye enters in pursuit and sends a throwing star into the wall above the Father's head]

Bullseye: The first one's a warning... padre.

Daredevil: Is there a back door out of here?

Father Everett: Yes.

Daredevil: Take it!

Father Everett: What about you?

Daredevil: I'm gonna finish this.

Father Everett: You can't fight like this, son!

Daredevil: Have faith, Father. Isn't that right?
