"HETEROCHROMIA IS IN REFERENCE TO YOUR EYES, WHICH I HAVE TO SAY ARE STUNNING. ONE GREEN, ONE BLUE. IT'S A MUTATION. IT'S A VERY GROOVY MUTATION. I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU, AMY. YOU ARE A MUTANT." | "FIRST YOU PROPOSITION A GIRL, AND THEN YOU CALL HER DEFORMED. HOW IS THAT SEDUCTION TECHNIQUE WORKING FOR YOU?" | "I'LL TELL YOU IN THE MORNING. NO, SERIOUSLY, YOU MUSN'T KNOCK IT, MUTATION TOOK US FROM SINGLE CELLED ORGANISMS TO THE DOMINANT FORM OF REPRODUCTIVE LIFE ON THIS PLANET. INFINITE FORMS OF VARIATION WITH EACH GENERATION, ALL THROUGH MUTATION."
"YOU'RE MY OLDEST FRIEND." | "I'M YOUR ONLY FRIEND." | "THANK YOU, FOR THAT."
"I DIDN'T REALLY EXPECT YOU TO BELIEVE ME, GIVEN THAT ALL YOU COULD THINK ABOUT DURING MY PRESENTATION WAS WHAT SORT OF PIE THEY WERE SERVING IN THE COMMISSARY. IT'S APPLE PECAN."
 
"WHO ARE YOU?" | "MY NAME'S CHARLES XAVIER." | "YOU WERE IN MY HEAD. HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" | "YOU HAVE YOUR TRICKS, AND I HAVE MINE. I'M LIKE YOU, JUST CALM YOUR MIND!" | "I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE." | "YOU'RE NOT ALONE. ERIK? YOU'RE NOT ALONE."
 
"FROM WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOU, I'M SURPRISED YOU MANAGED TO STAY THIS LONG." | "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?" | "EVERYTHING." | "THEN YOU'LL KNOW TO STAY OUT OF MY HEAD." | "I'M SORRY, ERIK, BUT I'VE SEEN WHAT SHAW DID TO YOU. I'VE FELT YOUR AGONY. I CAN HELP YOU." | "I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP." | "DON'T KID YOURSELF, YOU NEEDED MY HELP LAST NIGHT. IT'S NOT JUST ME YOU'RE WALKING AWAY FROM. HERE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER THAN YOURSELF. I WON'T STOP YOU LEAVING. I COULD, BUT I WON'T. SHAW'S GOT FRIENDS. YOU COULD DO WITH SOME."
 
"NO. SORRY, I'M WITH ERIK. WE FIND THEM ALONE."
"ARE YOU SURE WE CAN'T SHAVE YOUR HEAD?" | "DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR."
"I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THE OTHERS OUT THERE. ALL THOSE MINDS I TOUCHED. I COULD FEEL THEM. THEIR ISOLATION, THEIR HOPES, THEIR AMBITIONS. I TELL YOU, WE'VE STARTED SOMETHING INCREDIBLE, ERIK. WE CAN HELP THEM."
"I'M SORRY. I CAN'T LEAVE HIM."
"THIS IS YOURS?" | "NO, IT'S OURS."
"IF YOU KNOW YOU CAN DEFLECT IT, THEN YOU'RE NOT CHALLENGING YOURSELF. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MAN WHO WAS TRYING TO RAISE A SUBMARINE?" | "I CAN'T! SOMETHING THAT BIG... I NEED THE SITUATION, THE ANGER-" | "NO, THE ANGER'S NOT ENOUGH." | "WELL IT'S GOTTEN THE JOB DONE ALL THIS TIME." | "IT'S NEARLY GOTTEN YOU KILLED ALL THIS TIME."
"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT, IT CONTROLS YOU. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE, ALEX. THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRAINING."
"YOU'RE SERIOUS?" | "I'M VERY SERIOUS. I HAVE COMPLETE AND UTTER FAITH IN YOU."
 
"YOU SEE THAT? TRY TURNING IT TO FACE US. YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THAT TRUE FOCUS LIES SOMEWHERE BETWEEN RAGE AND SERENITY. WOULD YOU MIND, IF I...?" | "WHAT DID YOU JUST DO TO ME?" | "I ACCESSED THE BRIGHTEST CORNER OF YOUR MEMORY SYSTEM. IT'S A VERY BEAUTIFUL MEMORY, ERIK. THANK YOU." | "I DIDN'T KNOW I STILL HAD THAT." | "THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO YOU THAN YOU KNOW. NOT JUST PAIN AND ANGER. THERE'S GOOD, TOO, I FELT IT. AND WHEN YOU CAN ACCESS ALL OF THAT, YOU'LL POSSESS A POWER NO ONE CAN MATCH. NOT EVEN ME. SO COME ON. TRY AGAIN?"
 
"THEY'LL FEAR US. AND THAT FEAR WILL TURN TO HATRED." | "NOT IF WE STOP A WAR. NOT IF WE CAN PREVENT SHAW. NOT IF WE RISK OUR LIVES DOING SO." | "WILL THEY DO THE SAME FOR US?" | "WE HAVE IT IN US TO BE THE BETTER MEN."
"AFTER TOMORROW, THEY'RE GOING TO TURN ON US. BUT YOU'RE BLIND TO IT, BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THEY'RE ALL LIKE MOIRA." | "AND YOU BELIEVE THEY'RE ALL LIKE SHAW."
 
"LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY, MY FRIEND: KILLING SHAW WILL NOT BRING YOU PEACE."
"YOU READY FOR THIS?" | "LET'S FIND OUT."
"ERIK, YOU SAID YOURSELF, WE'RE THE BETTER MEN. NOW IS THE TIME TO PROVE IT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF MEN ON THOSE SHIPS, GOOD, HONEST INNOCENT MEN! THEY'RE JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS!"
"SHE DIDN'T DO THIS, ERIK. YOU DID."
 
"I WANT YOU BY MY SIDE. WE'RE BROTHERS, YOU AND I. ALL OF US, TOGETHER, PROTECTING EACH OTHER. WE WANT THE SAME THING." | "OH, MY FRIEND. I'M SORRY. BUT WE DO NOT."
"YOU SHOULD GO WITH HIM. IT'S WHAT YOU WANT." | "YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D NEVER READ MY MIND." | "I KNOW. I PROMISED YOU A GREAT MANY THINGS, I'M AFRAID. I'M SORRY."
 
"I SUPPOSE I AM A REAL PROFESSOR NOW, AREN'T I? NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I'LL BE GOING BALD."
"WE'RE STILL ON THE GOVERNMENT'S SIDE, MOIRA. WE'RE STILL G-MEN, JUST... WITHOUT THE G." | "NO, YOU'RE YOUR OWN TEAM NOW. IT'S BETTER. YOU'RE... X-MEN." | "YES, I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT."
