- Wilson Fisk: You're a man of principle, of conviction. I understand that, I even admire it. But you went after my mother. That's not something that I can forgive.
- Ben Urich: I wrote a lot of stories in my years pushing ink. You know how many times people have threatened me get me to keep my mouth shut?
- Wilson Fisk: But this is my mother that you brought into this, Mr. Urich. My mother! So I am not here to threaten you. I'm here to kill you!
- Wilson Fisk: It's a difficult thing, isn't it, taking a life? Feeling the weight and responsibility of all the years the person you've murdered has lived - moments that they've cherished, the dreams that they've struggled towards gone, because of you. I want you to know something. Something important that I've learned: that it gets easier the more you do it.
- Ben Urich: People seek the truth no matter where they find it.
- Wilson Fisk: That may have been the case when you and I were young. This world around us is preoccupied with celebrity weddings and videos of cats. But complicated issues, issues that matter? They take too much focus. They take too much time away from texting and the thousand channels on the satellite dish.
- Ben Urich: Guess I have more faith in humanity.
- Wilson Fisk: Ah. So did Christ, if I recall.
- Ben Urich: Run the article. It'll sell papers, it's sexy.
- Mitchell Ellison: You sound like a whore.
- Ben Urich: Well, I learned how to be one from you. I get lucky sometimes, sure. Land a story that makes a difference, like Union Allied. But most of the time, now, working for this paper... I might as well be wearing lipstick and a red dress.
- Madame Gao: My interest here has never been about heroin, Leland. That was borne of convenience, and it is no longer so.
- Leland Owlsley: Do what you want. I could honestly care less. If he finds out what we did... this isn't gonna matter.
- Madame Gao: Wilson suspects?
- Leland Owlsley: Not yet, but that could change.
- Madame Gao: We knew the risk, and the reward, if his woman were to be removed as a distraction.
- Leland Owlsley: I should've just had her shot.
- Leland Owlsley: So, what's our play here?
- Madame Gao: The wheel constantly turns. We must adapt to its position, or be crushed beneath it.
- Leland Owlsley: What? Where the hell are you going?
- Madame Gao: I will visit my homeland and reflect upon the future.
- Leland Owlsley: Home? China?
- Madame Gao: It is a considerable distance farther.
