Quotes 

• US Delegate : Five armed satellites disappear in a two-month period. And now the shuttle! And you tell me your people know nothing about it!

  Russian Delegate : What about our missing aerospace scientists? I suppose we took them also!

  US Delegate : Your stolen scientists were all mutants, know what I mean? Perhaps you sold them into Genoshan slavery?

  Genoshan Delegate : The Republic of Free Genosha objects strenuously to the use of the term "slavery!" Mutant powers are a resource to be managed like any other.

  [Magneto comes crashing in through the ceiling] 

  Magneto : The mutant race will no longer be managed, Mr. Delegate.

  [the Genoshan delegate attempts to escape but Magneto seals the door] 

  Magneto : You will all remain seated until I have finished. Ladies, gentlemen, you have been chosen to witness the announcement of a momentous event in the history of our planet. The liberation of mutantkind has begun.

• Gambit : Byron Calley, running off with Magneto. What you think they doing up there?

  Beast : Much as I am doing right now, I suppose. Magneto had access to the advanced technology he found in the Savage Land. No doubt they're adapting it to their own uses, as we are adapting the Shi'ar devices to achieve Earth orbit.

  Gambit : But what for? These mutants are scientists, not soldiers. Why they join up with Magneto?

  Rogue : I reckon they got tired of getting beat up and treated like dirt. Still no reason to pack up and leave.

  Gambit : I don't know, chere. We stay here fighting all the time, things don't get much better.

  Beast : Gambit's point has a certain validity. Despite our most earnest efforts, we seem to spend more time fighting for our lives than for mutant rights.

  Rogue : You thinking about moseying skyward?

  Gambit : Just thinking out loud, chere. You know Gambit follow you anywhere.

• Amelia Voght : I don't believe it!

  Professor Charles Xavier : Amelia?

  Amelia Voght : We have nothing to say to each other.

  Professor Charles Xavier : Amelia, please.

  Amelia Voght : Nothing.

  [storms off] 

  Beast : Of all mutants on Earth, I certainly did not expect to see her here.

• Gambit : Starting to get interesting up here. What's with the Professor and that redhead? Gambit get the feeling they got a history.

  Beast : Very observant. Her name is Amelia Voght. They met in a hospital in India. Xavier was bitter and frustrated. The Professor had just lost the use of his legs battling Magneto, and Amelia was his nurse. Amelia refused to let the Professor give in to self pity. In time, they fell in love. When Xavier returned to America, Amelia went with him. In the end, it was the Professor's dream that drove them apart. Amelia hated being a mutant. She wanted the Professor to live a private, sheltered life with her. She told Charles that there wasn't room in his life for both her and the X-Men. When she left, it was as if a part of Charles had been destroyed. He sealed away his emotions and lived only for his X-Men. His dream became his entire world. He never saw Amelia, never spoke of her again.

  Gambit : Till today.

• [last lines] 

  Fabian Cortez : Help!

  Beast : This way!

  [Gambit and Beast rush to Cortez] 

  Fabian Cortez : Help! Help! Traitors! They have destroyed our beloved Magneto.

  [More mutants arrive on the scene] 

  Amelia Voght : Charles! What have you done?

  Professor Charles Xavier : What do you mean?

  Beast : When we arrived here, we saw only Cortez!

  Fabian Cortez : Liars! I saw them jettison the chamber!

  [angry mutants surround the Professor, Beast and Gambit] 

  Fabian Cortez : Assassins!

  Gambit : Gambit think we're outnumbered.

  Fabian Cortez : Vengeance for our lost Lord Magneto!
