Sanctuary Part I (1995)

Len Carlson: President Robert Kelly, US Delegate

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.

• Professor Charles Xavier : Mr. President, any hostile action now against Magneto could start a nuclear holocaust.

  Senator Robert Kelly : Don't you think I know that? But people are scared and angry, and they expect me to act. Professor, Magneto's got missiles up there. He says they're defensive. But how can I take that chance?

  Professor Charles Xavier : I know Magneto. He won't lie to me. If I can speak with him, I'm certain we'll find a peaceful solution.

  Senator Robert Kelly : All right, we'll play it your way for now. I won't call in the military. You've got 12 hours.
