Dialogue

Professor Charles Xavier: Logan, my tolerance for your smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here, and you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six year-old girl.

Dialogue

Professor Charles Xavier: [Wakes up in Stryker's chambers] William? Colonel William Stryker: Please, Xavier, don't get up! Colonel William Stryker: I call it the neural inhibitor. It keeps you outta here. (he taps his forehead) Professor Xavier: What have you done with Scott? Colonel William Stryker: Oh, don't worry. I'm just giving him a little re-education. Of course, you know all about that, don't you? Professor Xavier: William, you wanted me to cure your son, but mutation isn't a disease... Colonel William Stryker: (enraged) YOU'RE LYING! You were even more frightened of him than I was! You know, just one year after Jason returned from your 'school', my wife...! You see, he resented us, he blamed us for his condition, so he would toy with our minds, projecting visions and scenarios into our brains. Well, my wife, in the end she took a power drill to her left temple in an attempt to bore the images out. (contemptuously) My boy, the great illusionist! Professor Xavier: For someone wh

Dialogue

Storm: So... what... are they? Nightcrawler: They are angelic symbols passed on to mankind by the Archangel Gabriel. Storm: They're beautiful. How many do you have? Nightcrawler: One for every sin. So quite a few. Nightcrawler: You and Miss Grey are schoolteachers? Storm: Yes. At a school for people like us, where we can be safe. Nightcrawler: Safe from what? Storm: Everyone else. Nightcrawler: You know, outside of the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I did not hate them: I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes. Storm: Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago. Nightcrawler: Someone so beautiful should not be so angry. Storm: Sometimes anger can help you survive. Nightcrawler: So can faith.

Dialogue

Magneto: His name is Colonel William Stryker, and he invaded your mansion for one purpose; he wanted Cerebro, or enough of it to build one of his own. Dr. Jean Grey: But that doesn't make any sense. Stryker would need the Professor to operate it. Magneto: Which I think is the only reason my old friend is still alive. Storm: Oh, my God...[She, Jean, and Magneto exchange worried looks] Wolverine: What are you all so afraid of? Magneto: While Cerebro is working, Charles's mind is connected to every living person on the planet. If he were forced to concentrate hard enough on a particular group - let's say, mutants, for example - he could kill us all. Storm: [incredulously] Wait a minute. How would Stryker even know where to find Cerebro in the first place? Magneto: [ashamed] Because I told him. I helped Charles build it, remember? Mr. Stryker has powerful methods of persuasion, even against a mutant as strong as Charles. Jean Grey: So who is this Stryker, anyway? Magneto: He's a military s

Pyro: So they say you're the bad guy. Magneto: Is that what they say? Pyro: That's a dorky-looking helmet. What's it for? Magneto: This "dorky-looking helmet" is the only thing that's going to protect me from the real bad guys. [grabs Pyro's lighter with his power] What's your name? Pyro: John. Magneto: What's your real name, John? Pyro: [collects a flame from the lighter and juggles a small fireball.] Pyro. Magneto: That's quite a talent you have there, Pyro. Pyro: I can only manipulate the fire. I can't create it. [closes his hand, extinguishing the flames] Magneto: You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.

Dialogue

Wolverine: How did it feel, bub? Colonel William Stryker: Why did you come back? Wolverine: You cut me open! You took MY LIFE! Colonel William Stryker: You make it sound as if I stole something from you. As I recall, it was you volunteered for the procedure. Wolverine: [Pauses] Who am I? Colonel William Stryker: You... are just a failed experiment. [Wolverine forces his claws up into his armpit even further, causing him to scream in pain] If you really knew about your past, what kind of person you were, the work that we did together...People don't change, Wolverine. You were an animal then, you're an animal now. I just gave you claws. Wolverine: What the hell is that? WHAT IS IT?! Colonel William Stryker: The dam's ruptured. It's gonna flood water under the spillway. It's trying to relieve the pressure. It's too late. In a few minutes, we'll all be underwater...Come with me, and I'll tell you everything you wanna know. You can't help your friends. They're as good as dead, Wolverine. Yo
