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

[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?
