Quotes 

• Karen Page : How long have you been practicing law?

  Matt Murdock : What time is it?

  Foggy Nelson : It's 12:22 AM.

  Matt Murdock : About seven hours.

  Foggy Nelson : Well, if you go from when we passed the bar...

  Matt Murdock : I was going from when we got our own desks.

  Foggy Nelson : Oh, then, yeah. Seven hours.

• Foggy Nelson : I gotta go bribe a cop.

  Matt Murdock : Ugh. Foggy.

  Foggy Nelson : Kidding, NSA, if you're listening! But seriously, yeah, I gotta go bribe a cop.

• Karen Page : Who the Hell are you guys?

  Matt Murdock : I'm Matt. He's Foggy.

  Karen Page : Who sent you?

  Matt Murdock : No one sent us.

  Karen Page : So, what? You're just a couple of Good Samaritans? Today's just my lucky day.

  Foggy Nelson : I bribed a desk sergeant with a box cigars for his mom.

  Matt Murdock : Our practice is relatively young, Miss Page, and we are aggressively pursuing new clientele. You gotta stop giving Bess cigars.

  Foggy Nelson : She likes to smoke, Matt. It's a free country.

• Foggy Nelson : All right, I'm just gonna say this once, and we can move on. You don't necessarily show the best judgment when beautiful woman are involved, Matt.

  Matt Murdock : How would I even know she's a beautiful woman?

  Foggy Nelson : I don't know. It's kinda spooky, actually. But if there's a stunning woman with questionable character in the room, Matt Murdock's gonna find her, and Foggy Nelson is gonna suffer.

• Foggy Nelson : Good morning, sunshine.

  Matt Murdock : What time is it?

  Foggy Nelson : Half past get the hell up. Let's go. We gotta meet the real estate agent in 45.

  [Matt groans] 

  Foggy Nelson : What was that? Was that a moan? Do you have somebody in bed with you? The paralegal. Is it the para over at... never mind, I don't wanna hear about it. No, I do wanna hear about it. What was she like?

  Matt Murdock : Violent.

  Foggy Nelson : I gotta get the blind thing going. It's so unfair.

• Matt Murdock : I'm gonna make this easy, Detectives. Get the ADA in here to release Ms. Page and we'll recommend to our charming, media-friendly client that she not plaster the airwaves with how she was nearly killed in your custody.

  Foggy Nelson : And I'll agree to not making cooing noises for the rest of this meeting when I think of the civil suit that we have on our hands.

  Detective Blake : How do you know they're not charging her?

  Matt Murdock : Besides the fact that you were required to do so four hours ago... if you were gonna do it at all?

  Foggy Nelson : That's an excellent question. Along with how the security cameras on Ms. Page's detention area went on the fritz right before the assault.

  Matt Murdock : Yeah, we'd like to speak to Mr. Farnum about that, as well as what...

  Detective Hoffman : Get in line. He'll be arraigned in the morning.

  Matt Murdock : Get my client released. Don't make me ask again.

  Detective Blake : [Hoffman whispers to him]  I'll call the ADA.

  [they stand to leave] 

  Detective Blake : But if you take that tone with me again, I don't care if you're blind. I'll kick the shit out of you.

• Foggy Nelson : Okay, can we please take the handcuffs off the 110-pound woman?

  Detective Blake : Ms. Page, can you tell me who these men are?

  Matt Murdock : We're her lawyers. Uncuff our client and give us the room, please.

• Matt Murdock : Tell me, how did you know Mr. Fisher?

  Karen Page : We worked together.

  Foggy Nelson : And your place of employment?

  Karen Page : Union Allied Construction. I'm a secretary. Daniel worked downstairs in Legal. I-I didn't know him very well. But he was always nice, you know? But it's hard to meet people in the city, so I-I asked him if he would have a drink with me.

  Matt Murdock : You asked him?

  Karen Page : Like I said, he was a nice guy. We met at the Three Roads bar on 49th Street. We had a few drinks, and the next thing that I remember is waking up on the floor of my apartment covered in blood. His blood.

  [seeing Foggy react] 

  Karen Page : No, I'm not stupid. I know how that sounds. But I am telling you we met at the bar. We had a few drinks. And I don't know what happened after that. It wasn't me. Please. Please, you have to believe me. I didn't kill him.

  Matt Murdock : [listening to her heartbeat]  I believe you, Ms. Page.

• Foggy Nelson : I'm friends with Gary Feinstein in the D.A.'s office. I'll give him a call first thing in the morning, see where their heads are at. I'm guessing they're gonna puff their chests, but they have to know murder two's a risk. We end up at manslaughter, we get the right judge, maybe she's out in five to ten.

  Matt Murdock : We're not taking a deal.

  Foggy Nelson : No, this is why they have deals, Matt. So the straightforward cases don't waste everybody's time.

  Matt Murdock : I don't think she did it.

  Foggy Nelson : She's the sole suspect, found at the scene, covered in blood, with the murder weapon and no defensive wounds. If they offer anything it'll be a gift, and we will take that gift. We do not want this to go to trial.

  Matt Murdock : They don't want this to go to trial, either. Why hasn't she been charged yet?

  Foggy Nelson : They have 24 hours. And it's the weekend. They're gonna take every last second to collect the evidence before they move.

  Matt Murdock : They've got the evidence. You just laid it out yourself. This is a good arrest, Foggy. We should already be reading about it in the papers. There's something not right about this case. I can feel it.

• Karen Page : I, uh, work... worked in the financial department at Union Allied. They're overseeing the bulk of the government contracts for the West Side reconstruction.

  Foggy Nelson : I've seen their signs all over Hell's Kitchen.

  Karen Page : The last two years have transformed the business. There's new owners, new grants, new contracts.

  Matt Murdock : Yeah, the world watched half of New York get destroyed. That's a lot of sympathy.

  Karen Page : And Union Allied benefited from every dollar of it. I was the secretary for the chief accountant. And one of my jobs... was to coordinate the pension claims for the company. About a week ago, I was e-mailed a file called "Pension Master". It must have been meant for my boss, but I made the mistake of opening it.

  Matt Murdock : I'm guessing it wasn't the pension fund.

  Karen Page : It wasn't the size of the pension fund. I couldn't believe the numbers. But it was still being designated as company pension. And it-it was constantly adjusted. Money coming in and-and money going out.

  Foggy Nelson : Going where?

  Karen Page : I don't know. It was coded routing numbers, but we are talking a lot of money.

  Matt Murdock : What did you do with the file?

  Karen Page : Well, I told my boss, Mr. McClintock, about it, and he laughed it off. He said that it was a theoretical model that they were screwing around with. I knew something was wrong. I just... I thought maybe it was just him, you know? Embezzling or whatever.

  Matt Murdock : So, how did Daniel Fisher figure into this?

  Karen Page : Danny worked in the legal department. And I didn't... I didn't know him very well. But he was nice, so I asked him to meet me after work. I don't know how they knew. They must have people watching me. They must have people everywhere. All I did was ask him for a drink. And I start to tell him about what I found and things got blurry. Like I-I was drugged. And the next thing I know, I wake up... back in my apartment, covered in blood. They killed him... because of me.

• Foggy Nelson : Hey, buddy.

  Brett Mahoney : Homicide. Female suspect found at the scene. Definitely qualifies as interesting.

  Foggy Nelson : She's been charged yet?

  Brett Mahoney : Assistant DA hasn't made the call yet.

  Foggy Nelson : Do you have a name on the suspect?

  Brett Mahoney : Yeah. Page. Karen Page.

• Foggy Nelson : [bringing Karen a cup of tea]  Couldn't find any milk. I hope it's okay.

  Matt Murdock : We have tea now?

  Foggy Nelson : I stole it from the financial office next door.

• Matt Murdock : My partner and I are having some disagreements over the direction of Nelson and Murdock. I believe we're here to defend the innocent.

  Foggy Nelson : And I believe the innocent includes everyone not yet convicted of a crime. You know, *as the law states*.

  Matt Murdock : He tends to use fancy terminology.

• Foggy Nelson : Not that I'm complaining, but you really should be thanking the nut in the mask.

  Karen Page : He's not a nut. I mean, he's a little weird, maybe...

  Matt Murdock : We're just glad you're okay.

• Foggy Nelson : [debating whether to take Karen Page as their first client]  All right, I'm just gonna say this once and we can move on. You don't necessarily show the best judgment when beautiful women are involved.

  Matt Murdock : How would I even know if she's a beautiful woman?

  Foggy Nelson : I don't know. It's kinda spooky, actually. But if there's a stunning woman with questionable character in the room, Matt Murdock's gonna find her and Foggy Nelson is gonna suffer.

• Foggy Nelson : Oh, hey! Real estate agent, not your type. Very homely, might be genetic, no need to be charming. And she kinda told me she thinks blind people are God's mistake.

  Matt Murdock : That's a horrible thing to say, Foggy.

  Foggy Nelson : I know! In this day and age?

• Foggy Nelson : Officer of the law.

  Brett Mahoney : Defense attorney. We're supposed to be enemies.

  Foggy Nelson : First off, we've been enemies since we were four, Brett. So let's not blame it on career choices. Secondly, I'm not a particularly good defense attorny, so helping me is like helping yourself. And finally, these are for Bess.

  [holds out a bag] 

  Brett Mahoney : [looking into bag]  Please stop giving my mom cigars, Foggy.

  Brett Mahoney : What? She'll outlive us all.
