X-Men

Senator Robert Kelly: I have here a list of names of identified mutants living right here in the United States. Jean Grey: Senator– Kelly: Here's a girl in Illinois who can walk through walls. Now what's to stop her from walking into a bank vault, or the White House, or [gestures toward the gallery] into their houses? Grey: Senator, please– Kelly: And there are even rumors, Miss Grey, of mutants so powerful that they can enter our minds and control our thoughts, taking away our God-given free will. Now I think the American people deserve the right to decide if they want their children to be in school with mutants. To be taught by mutants! Ladies and gentlemen, the truth is that mutants are very real, and that they are among us. We must know who they are, and above all, what they can do!

Emcee: Whatever you do, don't hit him in the balls. Stu: You said "anything goes". Emcee: Anything goes, but... he'll take it personally.

Jean Grey: The metal is an alloy called adamantium. Supposedly indestructible. It's surgically grafted onto his entire skeleton. Storm: How could he have survived a procedure like that? Grey: His mutation. He has uncharted regenerative capability, which enable him to heal rapidly. It also makes his age impossible to determine. He could very well be older than you, Professor. Cyclops: Who did this to him? Grey: He doesn't know nor can he remember anything about his life before it happened. Professor Xavier: Experimentation on mutants. It's not unheard of, but I have never seen anything like this before.

Wolverine: You gonna tell me to stay away from your girl? Cyclops: If I had to do that, she wouldn't be my girl. Wolverine: Well then, I guess you've got nothing to worry about, do you, Cyclops? Cyclops: It must burn you up that a boy like me saved your life, huh? Better be careful. I might not be there next time. Oh, and Logan – [grins] stay away from my girl.

Magneto: You homo sapiens and your guns. Sabretooth: [Grabs Magneto's throat] That's enough Erik. Toad: Let them go. Magneto: Why not come out where I can see you, Charles? Xavier: [speaking through Sabretooth] What do you want her for? Magneto: Can't you read my mind? [tapping his helmet] And what now, save the girl? You'll have to kill me Charles, and what would that accomplish? Let them pass that law and they'll have you in chains with a number burned into your forehead! Xavier: It won't be that way. Magneto: Then kill me and find out. No? Then release me. Magneto: Fine. [magnetically fires a bullet and stops it just before it goes through a cop's head] Care to press your luck, Charles? I don't think I can stop them all. [Xavier reluctantly releases his control over Toad and Sabretooth] Still unwilling to make sacrifices. That's what makes you weak. Goodbye, Charles.

Storm: Logan, you can't do this alone! Wolverine: Who's gonna help me, you? So far, you've all done a bang-up job. Storm: Then join us. Fight with us! Wolverine: Fight with you? Join the team? Be an 'X-Man'? Who the hell do you think you are? You're a mutant. The whole world out there is full of people that hate and fear you, and you're wasting your time trying to protect them? I got better things to do. [starts to leave, then turns back] You know, Magneto's right: there's a war coming. Are you sure you're on the right side? Storm: At least I've chosen a side.
