It wasn't a perfect score. Just a very compatible one. It was all fun and games until Marci scored lower with him.

Uh-uh. If I gotta pretend then you do, too.

I don't bully you. I'd never bully anyone. I take that word seriously.

I think Foggy and I both ended up on the couch that night. It was a lot of drinking.

Virtual shake on it.

I know. Wait, Kingpin in a what?

... you know what's sad? I honestly can't remember any longer. This was years ago. I just remember we were all together, drinking and hanging out. I don't remember why.

Don't think I won't bring this up to him the next time I see him.

Yeah, I guess that's true. Sort of along the lines of it being the people and not the place.

... I'll owe you that exchange if I don't fit it in tonight, Kate. You can hold me to that.

I want to say back at you but the only friend of yours I know is Clint. Seems imbalanced.

You got my back, I got yours. And what matters most is protecting the innocent people's.

I'm boring. I want to know your other friends. Unless you're embarrassed by me.

Vanessa is my target. When I take to the floor with her, clear everyone else out.

[Target. Matt doesn't use those words. Venom drips from his tone. Fisk has been his enemy for twenty years. Fisk has been his mountain and boulder. Fisk has been what he's won.

Target.

The devil is hunting tonight. Matthew isn't after Fisk's weak spot tonight.

Tonight, the Devil Himself is getting his due.]

Respectable is probably a good way to put 'old.' Although I think Peter's more clean-cut than even I am.

... no, I wouldn't leave you to handle Fisk alone.

I think part of that does come with age, though. Not always, but I remember being much more of a mess in my early twenties than I am now. Or maybe now I'm just a mess in other ways. Either way, I bet your friends are nice.

I'll find a way to speak with her that doesn't leave you hanging. I promise.

A little cockier, a little less cynical. A lot more figuring out how I was going to get anything done. Law firms don't just land in someone's lap - or well, not when you have no money or firm to inherit. I did a corporate internship while going to law school and quickly figured out even if that's where the money was it wasn't for me.

That's the ultimate insult, huh?

There was some partying, especially at Columbia. Of course I would have liked you. You're a good person, Kate. We might not have had that many overlapping interests, but I think we'd get along.

I do wonder if she and Fisk sleep easily. I hope they don't.

Boxing, maybe. Even if your type of boxing isn't the same as mine. We both like to read, don't we? You're right though, our interests don't overlap much.

I don't understand it, either. Unfortunately, I do know what it feels like to hate and want to hurt. I like to think though that I don't want to hurt people who don't deserve it. I try not to use violence first, period. [He does not always succeed, and it makes him worry and wonder about himself.]

Lucky is a master at bringing people together. He should have run for mayor.

Do I?
