Marcos Diaz quotes from The Gifted

Marcos

What's going on?

Caitlin

We're leaving.

Marcos

Well, John said that you asked about trying to get to Mexico, but I thought... And you're really doing this now?

Reed

Yeah, we were just out to Fairburn.

Marcos

We need you guys here. The help you've been giving us with the... the school and the kids...

Caitlin

It was a hard decision, but Esme and her sisters back...

Marcos

I don't want them here. That's why we have to stick together!

Reed

It's too late for that, Marcos. The last time she was here, Esme played us all against each other. If she does that again–

Marcos

She won't. We'll be on our guard next time.

Caitlin

I... I wish that was enough, but she's already turned some of the mutants here against us. Just because we talked to a Sentinel Service agent.

Marcos

Well for what it is worth, this mutant wants you here.

John

We need to decide what to do.

Marcos

As far as I'm concerned, the psychics are a non-starter.

Lorna

Because their tactics make you uncomfortable?

Marcos

Uncomfortable? They murdered a dozen people without even blinking! We don't know the first thing about them!

Clarice

We do know one thing about them. They saved our asses.

Marcos

They saved themselves, and pulled us right into an all-out war with Sentinel Services.

John

Congress could declare martial law.

Clarice

So? They didn't need martial law when they killed my foster parents.

Lorna

Exactly. Why should we fight with one hand tied behind our backs? We need all the allies we can get! Do you want to cling to your ideals or do you want to survive?

Marcos

We can't just chuck our principles because it's convenient! You know, the X-Men chose us for a reason, and it's not because we can kill. If we wanted to kill people, we would've done it a thousand times already, but we didn't! We have to be better than that. Now, we need to take out the Hound program, and we will, Lorna, but we have to do it our way.

Lorna

Before we head out, I want to talk to you.

Marcos

Yeah, what is it?

Lorna

It's about the Frosts.

Marcos

What about them?

Lorna

Look, we're working with them, like it or not.

Marcos

Yeah, I'm in the "not" camp.

Lorna

I'm not asking you to change your mind about them, but we have a job to do.

Marcos

What do you expect me to do, Lorna? Pretend like we're one big happy family?

Lorna

No, of course not. Come on, we're the family. That's the point. There's no way they can come between us. Look, don't this for them, do this for me.

Marcos

Okay.

Lorna

I thought if we had a child, that it would have it easier than we did, that we would build a better world where are our kid wouldn't have to hide.

Marcos

We are building a better world. It's just taking some time. We have to have faith.

Lorna

I always love that about you, that you have faith.

John

Hey, the hell's going on?

Something wrong?

Marcos

Yeah, something's wrong. We can't find Lorna.

John

She left with your sisters.

They're doing what you couldn't. Campbell and Montez filed a flight plan. They flight out of Morrison Air Center in 20 minutes. The most important thing is to make sure he doesn't get to D.C., ever.

Clarice

Woah, it's an assassination now?

John

Look, I hate that son-of-a-bitch, but that goes against everything we stand for!

John, please.

John

No! If we start killing, it's gonna make life worse for mutants, everywhere.

John, life is already worse for mutants everywhere. You know I'm right!

Marcos

Oh shut up!

Marcos–

Marcos

Don't say another word! We are gonna go get Lorna, right now. And if I see your eyes turn blue, I swear to God I will be the last thing you see.

Marcos

Please, just listen to me! Now, we will figure this out. I don't care about the X-men! I don't care about the Brotherhood! I care about my family.

Lorna

That's what I care about too, but I'm tired of hiding. We have to take a stand.

Marcos

Not like this. This changes everything. This will change everything. Our kid has to live in this world.

Lorna

It's time to make a new world.
