X-Men Quotes

[last lines]
[Xavier and Magneto play a game of chess at Magneto's cell]
Magneto: Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they will pass that foolish law or one just like it, and come for you? And your children?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: It does, indeed.
Magneto: What do you do,

when you wake up to that?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: 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?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?

Magneto: Ah, yes. Your continuing search for hope.
[motions to the guard to take Xavier away]
Magneto: 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.
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: And I will always be there, old friend.

[after getting in the car with Logan/Wolverine]
Rogue: You don't have anything to eat, do you?
[Logan reaches across her into the glove compartment and hands her something to eat]
Rogue: I'm Rogue.
[looks across the seat to look at him and spots his dog tag]
Rogue: Were you in the army? Doesn't, doesn't that mean

you were in the army?
[she stops talking and looks around. She spots the trailer in the back]
Rogue: Wow.
Logan: What?
Rogue: It's just that, suddenly my life doesn't look that bad.
Logan: Well, if you prefer the road...
Rogue: [quickly] No, it looks great. It looks cozy.

[They go quiet. Rogue begins to rub her cold hand together. Logan turns on the heater]
Logan: Put your hands on the heater.
[He reaches for her hand and she pulls back]
Logan: I'm not gonna hurt you kid.
Rogue: [shakes her head and puts back on her gloves] It's nothing personal. It's just that, when people touch

my skin, something happens.
Logan: What?
Rogue: I don't know, they just get hurt.
Logan: Fair enough. So, what kind of name is Rogue?
Rogue: I don't know. What kind of name is Wolverine?
Logan: My name is Logan.
Rogue: Marie.

[discussing Wolverine]
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: There are more powerful mutants out there. Why should this one be so important?
Cyclops: Maybe it's his way with people.
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: You don't like him?
Cyclops: How could you tell?
Prof. Charles Francis

Xavier: Well, I am psychic, you know.

Rogue: The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks. I can still feel him inside my head. It's the same with you.
Wolverine: There's not many people that'll understand what you're going through. But I think this guy, Xavier, is one of them. He seems to genuinely want to help you. And that's a rare thing, for people like us. So... what do

you say, we give these geeks one more shot?
[Marie smiles a little]
Wolverine: C'mon, I'll take care of you.
Rogue: You promise?
Wolverine: Yeah... Yeah, I promise.

Wolverine: You going to 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 ya, Cyclops?
Cyclops: It must burn you up that a boy like me saved your life, huh? Gotta be careful. I might not be there next

time. Oh, and Logan - stay away from my girl.

[At the Statue of Liberty]
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. Peace.
Rogue: Are you going to kill me?
Magneto: Yes.
Rogue: Why?

Magneto: Because there is no land of tolerance. There is no peace. Not here, or anywhere else. 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. l'll understand if that

comes as small consolation.

Storm: Logan, is that you?
Wolverine: [sniffs the air] Something is wrong.
Storm: [Walks up behind him] Come on. We need to regroup.
Wolverine: There's just one problem.
[turns and stabs Storm with his claws]
Wolverine: You're not part of the group!
[Storm changes into

Mystique and collapses to the ground]

Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Ah, Logan. I'd like you to meet Ororo Monroe, also called Storm. This is Scott Summers, also called Cyclops. They saved your life. I believe you already know Dr. Jean Grey. You are in my School for the Gifted for Mutants. You'll be safe here from Magneto.
Wolverine: What's a Magneto?
Prof. Charles Francis

Xavier: A very powerful mutant. He believes that a war is brewing between mutants and the rest of humanity. I've been following his activities for some time. The man who attacked you is an associate of his called Sabertooth.
Wolverine: Sabertooth?
[looks at Storm]
Wolverine: Storm.
[looks at Xavier]

Wolverine: What do they call you? "Wheels"? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Students.
[looks at Cyclops]
Wolverine: And Cyclops, right?
[grabs Cyclops]
Wolverine: You wanna get outta my way?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Logan, it's been almost fifteen years, hasn't it? Living from

day to day, moving from place to place, with no memory of who or what you are.
Wolverine: Shut up!
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Give me a chance. I might be able to help you find some answers.
Wolverine: How do you know?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: [telepathy] You're not the only one with special

gifts.

Dr. Jean Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, we are now seeing the beginnings of another stage of human evolution. These mutations manifest at puberty, and are often triggered by periods of heightened emotional stress.
Senator Kelly: Thank you, Miss Grey! That was-quite educational. However it fails to address the issue which is the focus of this hearing. Three

words: are mutants dangerous.
Dr. Jean Grey: That's an unfair question, Senator Kelly. After all, the wrong person behind the wheel of a car can be dangerous.
Senator Kelly: Well, we do license people to drive.
Dr. Jean Grey: But not to live.
