Quotes

Dialogue

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!

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

Wolverine: You actually go outside in these things? Cyclops: Well, what would you prefer? Yellow spandex?

Dialogue

Magneto: Magnificent, isn't she? Rogue: I've seen it. Magneto: I first saw her in 1949. America was going to be the land of tolerance. Of peace. Rogue: Are you gonna kill me? Magneto: [pause] Yes. Rogue: Why? Magneto: Because there is no land of tolerance. There is no peace. Not here, nor anywhere else. Women, children, whole families destroyed simply because they were born different from those in power. Well, after tonight, the world's powerful will be just like us. They will return home as brothers. As mutants. Our cause will be theirs. Your sacrifice will mean our survival. I'll understand if that comes as small consolation.

Dialogue

Storm: Logan, is that you? Wolverine: Shhh. [Storm stumbles further to Logan, who sniffs the air] The other one ain't far away. Storm: [walks up behind him] Come on. We have to regroup. Wolverine: I know but there's a problem. [turns and stabs Storm with his claws] You're not part of the group! [Storm attempts to attack Wolverine, later reveals herself to be Mystique in disguise and collapses to the ground before shifting back to her original form.]

Dialogue

Wolverine: [To the startled Storm and Cyclops after battle with Mystique] Hey, hey, hey, it's me. Cyclops: [Holding onto his visor] Prove it. Wolverine: You're a dick. Cyclops: [Releases his visor, amused] Okay.

Dialogue

Magneto: Doesn't it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that someday they will pass that foolish law, or one just like it, and come for you and your children? Professor X: It does, indeed. Magneto: What do you do when you wake up to that? Professor X: I feel a great swell of pity for the poor soul who comes to that school looking for trouble. Magneto: [halts the game, sighs] Why do you come here, Charles? Professor X: Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer? [motions the guard to take Xavier away.] Magneto: Ah yes, your continuing search for hope. [pause] You know this plastic prison of theirs won't hold me forever. The war is still coming, Charles, and I intend to fight it, by any means necessary. Professor X: And I will always be there, old friend.
