X-Men: Dark Phoenix Quotes

[last lines]
[Erik meets Charles in Paris]
Erik Lehnsherr: Fancy a game?
Professor Charles Xavier: No, not today. Thank you.
Erik Lehnsherr: A long time ago, you saved my life. Then you offered me a home. I'd like to do the same for you. Just one game. For old times' sake.
[Charles considers, and eventually takes

chess pieces]
Erik Lehnsherr: I'll go easy on you.
Professor Charles Xavier: No, you won't.

[deleted scene]
Jean Grey: We used to think the Earth was the center of our solar system. It was only a few hundred years ago that we found out that the sun was the center. In the grand scheme of the galaxy, there's still so much we don't know about our place in it, and what may lay beyond. Which is why we need to keep learning. Because even though it feels like we're at

the end, it's only the beginning.

Professor Charles Xavier: What do you think?
Young Jean Grey: I can't stay here.
Professor Charles Xavier: Okay. Why not?
Young Jean Grey: It's too nice.
[sighs]
Young Jean Grey: I... I break things.
Professor Charles Xavier: Well, how does this sound: If

you break something, anything, I can fix it.
Young Jean Grey: Not anything.
Professor Charles Xavier: I can help you. I can help you so that you never have to break things ever again.
Young Jean Grey: You think you can fix me too.
Professor Charles Xavier: No. No, because you are not broken.

Erik Lehnsherr: Whose blood is that?
Jean Grey: What?
Erik Lehnsherr: On your shirt. Whose blood is it? Look, I'm not Charles. I can't read your mind.
Jean Grey: You hurt people.
Erik Lehnsherr: It's been a while/
Jean Grey: But you did.
Erik

Lehnsherr: Yes. Yes, I did. What about it?
Jean Grey: How did you stop?
Erik Lehnsherr: I've lived with vengeance my whole life. Ever since I was a child, I... lost everyone I ever loved, so... I hurt people. Yes, killed people. Killed whatever I thought would make the pain go away. It didn't, no matter how many souls I sent under... so I

stopped
Jean Grey: I don't know how to stop. I don't know what's happening to me. When I lose control... things happen, bad things... to people I love.
Erik Lehnsherr: Whose blood is that? Isn't that why you came here? What do you think I can do for you?
Jean Grey: I don't know.
Erik Lehnsherr: Yes, you

do. Whose blood is that?

[Jean stops her rampage after seeing into Charles' mind]
Professor Charles Xavier: I knew. I knew you were still in there.
Vuk: He just showed you your past. Follow me... into your future.
Jean Grey: No. I never asked for this, any of it.
Vuk: I traveled to the stars for a gift that you don't want.

Jean Grey: Then take it, please. Free me.
Vuk: I'll try.
[absorbs Jean's power]
Professor Charles Xavier: Stop it. You're going to kill her!
Vuk: Your lives mean nothing. Your world will be ours.
Professor Charles Xavier: You'd kill us all.
Vuk:

[smiles] Yes.

Vuk: What entered you in space was not a solar flare. And it was not an accident. It was drawn to you.
Jean Grey: What... what was it?
Vuk: A pure and unimaginably powerful cosmic force. We saw it enter you in space. We were there, Jean, following that force.
Jean Grey: Why?
Vuk:

Because it's the spark that gave life to the universe... and the flame that consumed my world. What remains of my people searched the stars for that power, to control it, but it destroyed everything it ever came into contact with. Until you.
Jean Grey: Why me?
Vuk: Because you're stronger than you know. Because you're special, Jean. With my help, you

could control what's inside you. Harness that power to create whole new worlds... turn dust into water... water into life. It's your destiny, Jean, to become something greater... to evolve into the greatest force in the galaxy. I told you they could never understand you. And what they don't understand, they fear. And what they fear...
Jean Grey: ...they seek to destroy.
