Hey all, I’m back with the masterlist of Karedevil interactions for The Defenders. You can find these quotes and more (such as quotes from the comics) in my quotes and audio tag.
Doing this, I remembered how important this show is in terms of characterization and characters’ evolution... So no Karedevil shipper should overlook the Defenders! That being said, I hope you’ll enjoy :)

Matt: “Yeah, of course.”
Karen: “It looks like you’re doing what you always wanted to do.”

Matt: “Sorry, it got...”Karen: “Do you wish you'd kept your secret to yourself?”
Matt: “No. I needed you to know. I don't know what I expected, but I... couldn't lie to you anymore.”
Karen, chuckles: “Thanks, I appreciate that.” Pause. “Do you miss it? The suit, the mask?”
Matt, shakes his head: “No. It feels like a chapter of my life that's closed. Now, I don't regret it, but I just... I regret that it drove some people away.”
Karen: “Now, it... Look, it didn't drive me away, I just... You know, I felt like we should to figure ourselves out first or something.”
Matt: “I'm trying.”
Karen: “You know, as complicated as I feel about all this stuff, I just... I feel like you should know. The NYPD is prevailing. I report on it every day, and crime rate's down. I really think that Daredevil may have made the city a safer place."

Karen: "I don't believe this."
Matt: "I know. They're back in New York, and I -"
Karen: "No, no, it's not them. You. This is how you tell me that you're doing it again? 'Cause that's what you're saying. You're going out as him."
Matt: "Uh, no, actually. Uh, well not yet."

Matt: "We don't have to have this conversation."
Karen: "Just talk to me. Please, Matt. Just ,just tell me."

Matt: "So That may be the case, yeah. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if you're a part of Daredevil's world or not, because they may be coming after Matt Murdock's, too."
Karen: "I'm sorry, does that mean they know who you are?"
Matt: "Just can't take any chances."

Karen: "Okay."
