The Punisher (2004 film)

"God, I hate this job. (While climbing out of a body bag.)"

"Good business, murder? Does Saint pay you for each one, or does he get a group-rate discount?"

"You shouldn't play with knives."

"God's gonna sit this one out."

"(v.o., from trailer) They murdered my family. They thought they murdered me. My actions are not vengeance. No, not vengeance. Punishment."

"(v.o.) I leave this as a declaration of intent so no one will be confused. Number one: Sic vis pacem, para bellum. Latin. The boot-camp sergeant made us recite it like a prayer. Sic vis pacem, para bellum - "If you want peace, prepare for war.""

"(v.o.) Number two: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. Number three: In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue... natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment."

"You look like a strong kid. You must work out. Ever try isometrics? This antipersonnel mine weighs eight pounds. Not much, but try holding it with an outstretched arm. Hell of a workout."

"I made you kill your best friend. I made you kill your wife. And now I've killed you."

"(lighting a blowtorch) It won't hurt at first. It's too hot, you see? The flame sears the nerve endings shut, killing them. You'll go into shock, and all you'll feel is... cold. Then it'll hurt. Isn't science fun, Micky?"

"(Last lines, v.o.)Those who do evil to others - the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists - will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me...the Punisher."

"The man responsible for my son's death must die."

"Thank you for that explanation. (just before shooting the person addressed.)"

"Fourteen shipments are perfect. One goes bad and I get this - why? Because you want to scare me? There's no insurance in this business, you know that. So I'm not covering your fucking losses! And Mike, if you don't like it, just remember one thing: I've got more guns than you do."

"It's YOUR duty to make Castle DEAD! I don't care what it takes, what it costs. Call the Russian."

"Close the club. Bring everyone in. We're going hunting."

"Do you recognize the neighborhood - Little Cuba? Just think - the first time I saw you was only three blocks from here. Of course, the neighborhood was so much more colorful then. Now it's just for whores. You'll fit right in."

"Fifty thousand dollars apiece, and fifty thousand more to the man who kills him. If you accept this money, you're in till it's over."

"You're a small piece of shit and I don't want the karma of your death on my conscience."

"We called New York, we called Las Vegas, we called Europe and Hong Kong, we even got the Sicilians in it for old times' sake. With what you're paying, Howard, we'll know everything there is to know about Otto Krieg in twenty-four hours."

"In forty-eight hours, Castle is a memory. A pro from Memphis - the best."

"With all due respect, we don't have more guns. It's my duty to inform you..."

"Okay, why don't you and I see if we can discover the true nature of pain?"

"If they knew, they would've told. They must not have known."

"I can hear what you're thinking, all your doubts and fears,"

"I know you. You're that boy in the newspaper... came back from the dead."

"You like that song? I wrote it for you. I'm gonna sing it at your funeral."

"You are one dumb son-of-a-bitch. Bringing a knife to a gunfight. [Castle triggers the ballistic knife, firing the blade into Heck's neck and killing him]"

"We want you to have dinner with us."

"Good memories can save your life."

"I don't know much, but I'm good with a needle. Don't ask."

"You're gonna die tonight, aren't you? Is that what you want?"

""You - are insignificant. You - are a coward. You - are a great disappointment to your mother and I!" [the camera turns to reveal the character in Dave's computer game, of whom he is speaking]"

"No one's ever stood up for me before."

"Mr. Castle, we, uh, need your help right now, because the guy who's after Joan... is in her apartment. Right now."

"They tried to make me talk. I gave them nothing."

"Maria Castle: You and I - we're not lucky. We are blessed."

"Frank Castle, Sr.: I bored the chambers and customized the triggers, and added some compensators. They used to be pretty good, but now they're nail-drivers."

"John Saint: (just before he shoots Frank) My father and mother send their regards. This time they're not blanks."

"Micky Duka: You're supposed to be dead!"

"Micky Duka: Quentin Glass. Been with Howard twenty years. The family consigliere, lawyer, CPA... and a sadist. Who knows what's going on with this guy?"

"Micky Duka: You are not a nice person."

"Mike Toro: Our mother always put her cash in the mattress, which, I thought it was a good idea - until the house burned down. It was a big fire. She lost everything. That's what happens when you don't watch your money. You lose everything, Howard. Everything."
