[Nightcrawler and Toad arrive outside Magneto's hideout.]
[To Nightcrawler] Look, all you gotta do is get us in there. I'll do the "damsel rescuing".
Fine. But the minute we're out, we go get the inducer, right?
Yeah, uh, well– [Pulls out the image inducer] about that–
[Enraged] You slimeball! You said you didn't have it! [Snatches the image inducer from Toad] Okay, that's it! I'm outta here! [Tries to storm off]
[Stops Nightcrawler before he can storm off] Wait, wait! Look, give me a break, will ya? I just want a chance to– [Sighs] to look good for Wanda, you know? Like you do for Amanda.
You mean, like I did, till you showed up.
Okay, okay. But you know, hiding who we are is something you and me kinda got in common, especially if it's for someone we care about. Come on, what do ya say?
[Sighs, knowing he has no choice but to help Toad rescue Wanda] Somebody kick me.
All right! [Snatches the image inducer from Nightcrawler] You're my man elf! [Puts on the image inducer and uses it to transform into Eric] Now we be rescuing, ja ja?
[Nightcrawler takes Toad's arm and teleports them both into the hideout.]
[Wanda is taking out some books from a bookcase and putting them in a box, with Toad looking on.]
[To Wanda] Okay, okay. Let me get this straight. You mean, you're not mad at your father no more?
WWanda
Not really. I know I was once, but- it's funny. I just can't seem to remember why. It's all a blur.
Man! They really did a number on your head. Well, let me enlighten you, Snookums. Uh, see, when you were a kid-
[Pietro speeds by, grabbing Toad and taking him to the kitchen.]
[To Toad] Are you nuts?! Why do you wanna start all that again?!
Look, she's a lot happier with all those memories gone, which means she'll stop looking for Magneto, which means she'll stick around here near you.
Ha ha ha. You got a point. Okay, I'll keep my mouth shut. Besides, if she can get over hating her father, then there's hope for me yet.
[Toad hops back to Wanda.]
JJamie
Come on, Kitty, just wear it for a while.
(Jamie makes a sad face)
Oh alright, but this does not mean we're on a date.
JJamie
It doesn't? {places corsage on kitty}
Listen, you were the only one who didn't have plans. Besides you're, like, 12 years old.
JJamie
But Roberto lent me his suit and everything. He expects a full report.
[Rogue is inside the infirmary recovering, with Logan by her side. Charles is outside looking on.]
[Approaches Charles] [To Charles] How long has he been in there?
He's never left her side.
But she is recovering, right?
Yes- slowly. However, having all of those personalities driven out has left her very fragile. And her toughest challenge still awaits her: Coming to term with who Risty really was, and who Mystique really is.
[Inside the infirmary.]
[To Rogue] Hmm. I won't lie to you, kid. Getting over this ain't gonna be easy. Something about– betrayal always sticks with you, but trust me, you'll learn to deal with it. [Takes Rogue's hand] You move on, and– you let your real friends be there for you.
[Rogue's hand squeezes Logan's, which Logan notices and smiles. Rogue, having woken up, sheds tears of happiness.]
S3 E9Under Lock and Key
MMagneto
[to Acolytes] I don't care what it takes, destroy that spider!
S3 E10Cruise Control
(Cyclops and Jean Grey show outright affection for each other.)
Oh, man. Are they for real?
[imitating] "Jean, darling, please accept this croissant as a symbol of my love."
"Oh, Scott... you have such a way with pastry..."
[Scott and Ray see that the person trying to enter is Rogue.]
[Recoils in fright] Stop, it's me!
[Scott and Ray sigh in relief before the former grabs and pulls Rogue in, then closes the doors.]
Someone's infiltrated the institute. They've already taken down the professor.
[Crouches down in front of Charles] It's small, but I think I can zap it off without hurting him.
[Ray charges and moves his hand over the device on Charles' head, ready to zap it off.]
[Bursts in] Don't! Those things are wired to explode.
[Ray recoils in horror.]
Logan, who's doing all this?
We gotta get you three outta here.
No! I'm not leaving without the others.
[Logan growls in anger.]
DRDeborah Risman
"My job there [HYDRA] was to create a weapon. The perfect weapon. Based on data HYDRA had stolen from a project codenamed: Weapon X. But I failed. Time and time again. Twenty-two times to be precise. Twenty-three was the charm once we realized where to look for the answers. It was you, Weapon...uh, Wolverine. Your healing factor was the key. Therefore, we... acquired your DNA."
DRDeborah Risman
"Not entirely. I had to make a few genetic variations. Unfortunately, that caused some...instability. X-23 became volatile. Dangerous. Our efforts to breed out emotions left behind...explosive anger. I succeeded in creating the ultimate weapon."
"But then you couldn't control it."
DRDeborah Risman
"She's out there, somewhere. And she must be found."
DRDeborah Risman
"HYDRA molded her from birth. Removing all distractions. Isolating her from all attachments...or love."
"And yet you just let it all happen."
DRDeborah Risman
"It was made very clear that I could leave if I disapproved. For her sake, I chose to stay. We trained her how to blend in naturally with others. But when she watched children having fun, witnessed loving families...unexpected hostilities emerged. When she was twelve...they put her through the Weapon X process."
"Enough! She's a child, not a weapon! (Growls) How do you sleep at night?"
DRDeborah Risman
"I don't. That's why I'm here. To help her. To try and undo some of the damage I've done."
[taking over training from Beast] The course has a new objective today.
NMNew mutants
[collective groan]
It's called....Mutant Dodgeball.
NMNew mutants
[collective cheer]
Yes! I am so good at this game!
Oh, and extra credit for anyone who takes out the ice cube.
Why the change of tactics, Logan?
Sometimes, you gotta let kids just be kids.
[The X-Men and the New Mutants are preparing breakfast. - Ray using a blender to make a milkshake, Kurt setting the table, Amara frying eggs, Scott opening a bag of bagels and taking out a bagel, Bobby eating an apple and icing everyone's drinks, and Jean using a toaster. Rogue, still having a headache, enters and sees the X-Men and the New Mutants having breakfast, Bobby carrying a bowl of fruit, Ray pouring himself a drink, Kurt eating eggs, and Kitty phasing into the fridge to get jelly, butter, and two orange juice cartons. She phases out and throws Roberto and the three Jamie clones the jelly, butter, and the two orange juice cartons. Two Jamie clones catch the jelly and butter, while one Jamie clone and Roberto catch the two orange juice cartons. - Rogue enters and observes.]
[To herself] I think I'm gonna pass on breakfast. [Walks away]
[Gambit breaks up a fight between Wolverine and Sabretooth.]
Here's a bulletin: Now, this ain't about you pitbulls! Let's go find Rogue.
S4 E1Impact
(to Mystique, now a stone statue, as he raps on her head.) [a reference to the Back to the Future trilogy; Biff does this when he is annoyed with the McFlys.]
If you don't help her, this will haunt you for the rest of your life. Prove that you're not like her.
(to Rogue, in persuading her to save Mystique.)
