This is your dream. My kind splayed before you, powerless and afraid. All the X-Men have done is use their awesome power to protect a world that hates and fears them. Behold their reward. What must we do to be good enough? Is this the high road's destination? If so, I say as I have too many times before, "never again".

[To the X-ecutioner] Bigot. Ingrate. Sycophant. Worm. So small, I could smite you with a step. [to the Judges] There was a time I would smite you all for what was done to Storm. But today, I have saved you from your own. For an old friend has challenged me to remember this view of Earth -- how vast it is, versus how small we make it. Charles Xavier entrusted me with his dream, and it does not ask you to love or embrace my kind as your own. But merely to accept that this is a shared world with a common future and that my kind, like yours, have the right to live in it. I am trying to be better. Please... do not make me let you down.
If I may offer advice, Scott: Be wary. Be vigilant. Tragedy lures with fortune first.
Jean, my sister: You of all the X-Men know the heartbreak of saying goodbye, having said it so many times. So I ask that you help the others understand why I could not stay to say it this day. My faith in your family's future is strong, and I cannot rob you of a bond you have more than earned. It is human nature to crave connection, as it is also mutant nature to be heard. Seen. To feel another's soul finally seeing yours... Connection is a fragile treasure -- one we sacrifice so much to maintain. Only to then sometimes watch it break in a blink that changes your life forever. We are no longer connected, Jean. And now, we walk in two very different worlds. But trust that I will cherish what we shared as X-Men, memories that already feel like a lifetime ago...
[reading the letter] "...like another woman's life, or another person's dream. Love, Ororo."
Sinister's controlling you. You don't have to do this.
MPMadelyne Pryor
Who doesn’t? Me? Who am I? Say my name, Scott. No? Allow me. I am beyond Jean Grey. Beyond the X-Men. I am scorn and fury, forged in righteous brimstone. I am the Goblin Queen. This was just a taste of what waits for you if you follow. My suggestion? Don’t.
Ladybird, Ladybird, fly away home, your house is on fire and your child all gone.
So you lied. My weaver of lies
FForge
It hasn't all been lies. This... This is not a lie.
No, don't you dare.
FForge
I could live forever. And still, my endless imagination would never conceive of a thing as perfect as you. A perfect path to your redemption. You are a goddess. Powers be damned. How do you not see that? Ororo, look at me. Look. I’ll say it once, just once. Then you can go or you can stay, but... I love you.
GGambit
Scoundrels like me, we don't get no white picket reward. We too busy for love. Too busy sinning.
NNightcrawler
There is no love without sin, for love is best measured in what we forgive.
TTTrish Tilby
Now, the latest adventure; parenthood.
Jean... Jean and I don't have any kids.
TTTrish Tilby
You don't?
No.
TTTrish Tilby
Strange, I saw hospital records for one "Nathan Charles Summers", born to Scott and Jean Grey Summers just last month. Born at Westchester Memorial? Uh, I spoke to a Dr. Brians there, he said you told your teammate, told Rogue...
THAT JERK WOULDN'T DELIVER MY... He called my kid a freak.
TTTrish Tilby
Scott, I came here today to give the X-Men a chance to show the world that mutants are just like us. People. Normal. And you lie. Why lie?
Because you're normal.
TTTrish Tilby
Excuse me?
I said, because you're normal. You're ungrateful. We fight, risk our lives for you. Evil mutants, robots, crazy aliens... I gave him up. I gave him up because you can't say "thank you". Because I have to stomach your questions and prove that I'm a person. I lie because the truth is we're nothing like you. Thank God, because it's the only reason you people are still alive.
Most other nations don't allow a terrorist to be their leader.
Yet so many allow their leaders to be terrorists.
GGambit
The name's Gambit, Mon Ami. Remember it.
So let them thunder, for I am lightning!
Want to know a secret? Coexistence is messy. Thus, my love for education, for my X-Men. Their heroism teaches a lesson we mustn’t forget. That the universe is very old, and all of us, very young. Born of ancient stardust, and all children of the atom.
RRoss
Thought your kind were the good guys?
You killed those, sugar. Now you get me.
ACaptain America
Gotta do this by the book, Rogue. Right now, my hands are tied.
Well, if your hands are tied, you won't be needin' this. [Grabs Captain America's shield and throws it into a mountain]
