Cerebro: Welcome Professor.

Dr. Sebastian Shaw: Look, I think all this anti-mutant protesting underscored the genuine growing concern among most Americans. I think mutant registration...
Dr. Hank McCoy: But why stop there? Maybe it would be easier to round up mutants by the truckload. Or maybe you'd like all-out war, Mr. Shaw.
Dr. Sebastian Shaw: Oh, please.

Professor X: William...
William Stryker: Oh, please Xavier, don't get up.

Professor Xavier: William, you wanted me to cure your son, but mutation is not a disease.
William Stryker: You're lying! You were 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. My boy. The great illusionist.
Professor Xavier: For someone who hates mutants, you certainly keep some strange company.

William Stryker: No, Charles. My son is dead. Just like all the rest of you!

Bobby: [To Rogue] I'll try to find some clothes. [To John] Don't burn anything.

Bobby: I found some of my Mom's old clothes. I think they're from before I was born.
Rogue: Groovy.

[At Bobby's house. Rogue & Bobby are in his room.]
Bobby: You won't hurt me.
[Rogue and Bobby kiss, afterwards Rogue blows ice.]
Rogue: Wow.

[Downstairs: Wolverine is raiding the fridge when Bobby's family come home.]
Mr. Drake: Hey, Ronnie, next time you...
[They notice Wolverine.]
Mr. Drake: Who the hell are you?
[Bobby comes running down the stairs.]
Madeline Drake: Bobby? Aren't you supposed to be in school?
William Drake: Do you know him?
Mr. Drake: Bobby, who is this guy?
Bobby: Ahm, this is Professor Logan. There's something I need to tell you.

Magneto: Something's different, today...
[Holds up a hand, and the guard freezes.]
Magneto: Too much iron in your blood!

Magneto: Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman; especially one who's interested in you.

Ororo Munroe: [About Nightcrawler's scars.] What are they?
Nightcrawler: They're an angelic language passed down to the human race by the archangel Gabriel.
Ororo Munroe: How many do you have?
Nightcrawler: One for every sin, so, quite a few.

Nightcrawler: You know, outside the circus, most people were afraid of me. But, I never hated them. I only felt pity for them, do you want to know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
Storm: I gave up on pity a long time ago.
Nightcrawler: Funny how someone so pretty should be so angry.
Storm: Sometimes anger, can help you survive.
Nightcrawler: So can faith.

[Bobby and his family are in the living room. Rogue and Pyro are there too. Wolverine is outside.]
Mrs. Drake: When did you first know you were a... a..
Pyro: A mutant?
[Mrs. Drake shoots Pyro a look, but he just shoots one back.]
Mr. Drake: You have to understand, we thought Bobby was going to a school for the gifted.
Rogue: Bobby is gifted.

Mrs. Madeline Drake: We still love you Bobby, it's just this mutant problem is a little...
Logan: [Interrupting.] What Mutant problem?
Mrs. Madeline Drake: ...complicated.
Mr. William Drake: What exactly do you teach, Professor Logan?
Wolverine: Art.
Rogue: You should see what Bobby can do.
[Bobby turns his mother's cup of coffee into ice.]
Mrs. Drake: Bobby...
Bobby: I can do a lot more than that.

Mrs. Madeline Drake: This is all my fault.
John Allerdyce: Actually they discovered that it's the male who carries the mutant gene and passes it on so, it's his fault.

[The group are still in the living room.]
Mrs. Drake: Have you tried, not being a mutant.

[Wolverine comes rushing in.]
Wolverine: We have to go now.
Rogue: Why?
Wolverine: Now!

[Wolverine, Rogue, Bobby & Pyro are exiting the house.]
Rogue: Logan, what's wrong?
[They come out the front door and see that there are several police men & cars there.]
Cop #1: Drop the knives and put your hands in the air,
Wolverine: Hey bub, this is just a misunderstanding.
Cop #1: Put the knives down!
Mrs. Drake: Ronnie?
Wolverine: I can't.

[Still on the porch. Something has happened.]
Cop #1: On the ground, now!
[Bobby starts getting down, Pyro just looks at the cop in shock. Rogue is also in the process of lying down.]
Pyro: You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about on the news?
[He takes his lighter and flicks it on.]
Pyro: I'm the worst one.
[He sends streams of fire towards the cop-cars, which blow up, and then toward some of the policemen.]

Nightcrawler: My name is Kurt Wagner. But in the Munich circus, I...
Wolverine: Ah, save it.

Pyro: Don't do that again.
Logan: I agree.

Magneto: When will these people ever learn to fly.
[To Wolverine.]
Magneto: The professor thought you would be able to figure it out on your own. He gives you more credit than I do.

Magneto: [To Wolverine.] Once again, you think it's all about you.

Dr. Jean Grey: Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, but they don't bring him home... I married a good guy.
Logan: I can be the good guy.
Dr. Jean Grey: Logan, good guys stick around.

Nightcrawler: They say you can imitate anyone, even their voice.
Mystique: [As Nightcrawler.] Even their voice.
Nightcrawler: Then why not stay in disguise all the time? You know, look like everyone else.
Mystique: Because we shouldn't have to.

Mystique: No one has left a scar quite like you.
Wolverine: What do you want? An apology?
Mystique: You know what I want. But what do you want?
[Transforms into Storm, Rogue, and Jean.]
[Wolverine pushes her off him.]
Mystique: [Transforms into Stryker.] What do you really want?
Wolverine: I want you to leave.
[Mystique exits tent.]
Wolverine: [Under breath.] Jesus.

Pyro: 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: That "dorky looking helmet" is the only thing protecting me from the real bad guys.
[With a wave of his fingers, the lighter is snapped from Pyro's hands and into Magneto's palm.]
Magneto: What's your name?
Pyro: John.
Magneto: What's your real name?
Pyro: Pyro.
Magneto: Quite a talent you have there, Pyro.

[To Pyro.]
Magneto: You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.

Storm: Kurt, can you transport in there?
Nightcrawler: No. I have to see where I am going, otherwise I might end up in a wall.

William Stryker: If there's one thing I know more than anyone else, it's my own work. Seal the room. Shoot it.

[About Mystique.]
Wolverine: She's good.
Magneto: You have no idea.

William Stryker: Sergeant, kill everyone that approaches; even if it is me.

Magneto: This is one lovers' quarrel we cannot get involved in, my dear.

Rogue: They told us to stay here!
Pyro: Do you always do as your told?

William Stryker: The tricky thing about adamantium is, that if you ever manage to process its raw, liquid form, you got to keep it that way, keep it hot. Because once the metal cools, it's indestructible. But you already know that. I used to think you were one of a kind Wolverine... I was wrong.

Stryker: I used to think you were one off a kind Wolverine, I was wrong.

[Deathstrike extends her claws.]
Wolverine: Holy shit.

Magneto: [Approaching an incapacitated Xavier.] How does it look from there Charles? Still fighting the good fight? From here it looks like they're not playing by your rules... Maybe it's time to play by theirs!

[To Nightcrawler.]
Storm: I have faith in you.

William Stryker: You were an animal then and you're an animal now. I just gave you claws.

[To Stryker.]
Wolverine: If we die, you die.

Storm: It is about to get very cold in here.
Nightcrawler: I'm not going anywhere.

William Stryker: Who holds the answers for you, Wolverine? Those people? That creature in your arms? Huh? HUH?
Wolverine: I'll take my chances with him.

Stryker: One day someone will finish what I've started, Wolverine! ONE DAY!

[Looking over confidential papers.]
President McKenna: How did you get these?
Professor X: Lets just say I know a little girl who can go through walls.

Wolverine: She did make a choice Scott, it was you.

Dr. Jean Grey: Mutation. It is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.
