- Sabretooth: What's wrong, Wolverine? No kiss and make up?
- Wolverine: [brandishing claws] Kiss this!
- Sabretooth: [growls briefly] We used to be old pals, even worked together, but we had some little misunderstandings.
- Wolverine: Yeah, right! He wasted some friends of mine for no reason and I misunderstood!
- Wolverine: Alright, you egg-suckin' piece o' gutter trash, you always did like pushin' around people smaller than you. Well I'm smaller; try pushin' me!
- Magneto: When I was a child, my people talked while others prepared for war! They used reason when others used tanks, and they were destroyed for their troubles. I won't stand by and watch it happen again, I WON'T!
- [last lines]
- Magneto: Alright, Xavier, you've cast your lot with humankind, but the others will understand. Mutants will come to me by the thousands and we shall destroy you!
- Professor Charles Xavier: After conquering your own rages, Wolverine, you more than anyone know what Sabretooth is going through. I need your assistance with the next phase of his therapy.
- Wolverine: You gotta be kiddin'! Tell you what, long as he's here, I'm gonna be somewhere else.
- Jubliee: [he storms out] Wolverine! Come back!
- Rogue: Don't worry, sweet pea. He'll ease on back when he's ready.
- Professor Charles Xavier: We'll deal with Wolverine's attitude later. Right now, we can't be distracted from our more urgent problem.
- Cyclops: Magneto.
- Professor Charles Xavier: His missile attack failed, but he'll attack again soon. And next time, he won't be so merciful.
- Rogue: [trying to revive an unconscious Cyclops] You're not gonna like this, but...
- [giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation]
- Rogue: It's better than not breathing.
- [pumping his chest]
- Rogue: Come on, pretty boy. Make a girl feel welcome.
- [Cyclops coughs as he regains consciousness]
- Rogue: Don't worry, I won't tell Jean. I just hope...
- [she begins firing laser blasts from her eyes]
- Cyclops: What's going on?
- Rogue: Cyclops! I couldn't help it. I... I absorbed your power when I touched you. I mean, how do I turn this darn thing off?
- Cyclops: Your eyes! Shut your eyes!
- Rogue: [doing so and stumbling forward blindly] Cyclops, where are you? You okay?
- Rogue: Professor, where are you? I can't see!
- Professor Charles Xavier: I'm right here, Rogue. Don't move.
- Rogue: Okay, but hurry. I can't open my eyes. I got Cyclops' powers.
- Professor Charles Xavier: What about the plant personnel?
- Rogue: They all high-tailed it.
- [hearing explosions around them]
- Rogue: Sounds like this dump's gonna go up like the Fourth of July.
- Professor Charles Xavier: [summoning his hover chair] Let's go home. I will mentally be your eyes. Follow me.
- Sabretooth: Lesson number one, girlie: never trust nobody.
- [Jubilee tries to use her powers]
- Sabretooth: Your powers ain't so hot if you can't use your hands.
- Jubliee: But your treatments...
- Sabretooth: You really think a few mealy-mouthed words from that old weakling could change me? I've been faking it! I've been waiting for the right moment.
- Jubliee: So, you want an Oscar or what?
- Sabretooth: I want to do what I was sent here to do, and if you don't want the life crushed out of your little body, you're gonna help.
- Jubliee: And what's that, dweeb?
- Sabretooth: Magneto ordered me to find this place and take it over. He knew your buddies would be at Beast's trial, and that wimp professor would take me in. He's got the X guy figured. You know, I'm really gonna enjoy tearing this place up. Now, you get me out of this rig before I...
- [Jubilee releases his restraint]
- Sabretooth: You done nice, girlie. For a reward, I'll finish you off clean and fast.
- Jubliee: But you said...
- Sabretooth: Wolverine never should've let me live. I wish he was here so I could take care of his carcass, too.
- Wolverine: [Sabretooth senses his scent] Be careful what you ask for, old buddy. It just might come true.
- [unsheathing his claws]
- Wolverine: Good thing I didn't go too far away to cool off, Sabretooth. This is between you and me. Let the girl go.
- Sabretooth: [throwing her aside] Whatever you say, pal.
- Wolverine: So, you're doing the dirty work for Magneto now, eh? You used to backstab people for fun. What turned you into a rat-for-hire?
- Professor Charles Xavier: [after Wolverine is injured] He's stabilized. He's going to be all right. I was wrong, Wolverine. I should have listened to you. I let my passion for an ideal that all mutants could be brothers blind me. That's twice I've failed.
- Storm: We failed, Professor. Together.
- Professor Charles Xavier: We cannot afford to lose again, or Magneto and those like him will prevail. He's out there, scheming, planning. I was able to trick him today. But I wonder when the time comes, will the X-Men be ready?
- Magneto: This is not how I wanted it to end. I wish it could have been otherwise. You were the best of us. Farewell, Xavier. Your blindness has sealed your fate.
- [Xavier uses his powers on him, and Magneto seees memories from his youth]
- Magneto: No! No! Don't make me see. Xavier, I can't! Stop it! Stop it!
- Professor Charles Xavier: No, Magneto, you will stop.
- Magneto: No. No more!
- Professor Charles Xavier: Cerebro is monitoring all emergency frequencies. If Magneto strikes anywhere within the vicinity of...
- Rogue: [an alarm sounds] Your old buddy doesn't let the grass grow under his feet.
- Professor Charles Xavier: He's challenging me! He'll hurt those workers just to get at me. Jubliee, you stay here and look after Sabretooth.
- Jubliee: [sarcastic] My favorite job.
- Professor Charles Xavier: Be careful. Even though he's shackled, he could still be dangerous.
- [turning to the others]
- Professor Charles Xavier: Now, we must face the master of magnetism.
- Professor Charles Xavier: You brought me here, Magneto. The next move is yours.
- Magneto: The years have been kind to you, Charles. A pity they haven't brought you wisdom.
- Professor Charles Xavier: Your wisdom? You find wisdom in this destruction?
- Magneto: We have not always been enemies. I will give you a final chance.
- Professor Charles Xavier: Never!
- Magneto: Fool! You still dream of peace with those who would destroy all mutants?
- Professor Charles Xavier: Is this your answer? This horror? After all the suffering we both have seen, you wish me to wage war on six billion humans?
- Professor Charles Xavier: Is there no limit to the torment in your mind, Sabretooth? Have you only known betrayal by your friends and persecution by humanity? We must probe deeper. Your mind is full of torment, Sabretooth. Your mutant life has been difficult. Your search for acceptance, a failure. Cruelty to creatures we don't understand seems limitless. Let me become one with your pain. Together, we can find the cause of your torment. What are these inner demons that drive you? Yes, we can fight them together. Are we any closer to the core of your rages? Wait! Don't break our psychic link! What are you hiding from me, Sabretooth? Why do you keep these thoughts from me? Can they be so painful? Don't resist me. I will know it all in time. Such hurt. Such rage. No wonder Magneto believes there is no hope of peace. But we must never give up trying.
- Cyclops: Magneto thought we would join him, Professor. He wanted us to use our special powers in his battle for mutant liberation. When we refused, he declared us his enemies.
- Professor Charles Xavier: He believes we are the next stage in human evolution, beyond Homo sapiens to Homo superior, and that we are destined to rule a mutant-control world under his domination.
- Storm: Fighting for human/mutant peace has just become more dangerous.
- Wolverine: Stuff the philosophy. Let's go kick his butt.
- Magneto: Well, Xavier, old friend. Where shall it be, hmm? Where will you expect me? One place is as good as another. As long as it is populated with Homo sapiens, human lives can be used as bait.
- [coming across a chemical planet]
- Magneto: All those lovely chemicals. After all, without them, life itself would be impossible.
- Senator Robert Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen, the world tonight is in the grip of a terrible crisis. Since the President recklessly rescinded the Mutant Registration Act, those unfortunate mistakes of nature are running wild. The recent mutant attacks at Drake Missile Base and Metro Chemical are just the beginning.
- Reporter: Senator, what do you intend to do about it?
- Senator Robert Kelly: I intend, this very evening, to declare my candidacy for President of the United States.
