X-Men: Evolution, Season 3

Toad:
Oooh, beautiful and bad.

(at Scarlet Witch, after she hexes a number of pursuing troops.)

Toad:
Just the type of girl that makes a guy want to... brush his teeth.

(about Scarlet Witch, after she forcefully snubs him.)

Rogue:
I'm not that fat!

(about the news broadcast revealing her as a mutant.)

[After Nightcrawler teleports upside-down, but attains reception on the pocket television he is carrying.]

Nightcrawler:
Oh, man! I'm trapped here!

Nightcrawler:
Do you mind? You're in my personal space!

(to Shadowcat, as she phases halfway through him to get a better view of the television.)

(Nightcrawler, along with Shadowcat, teleports into an attacking helicopter.)

Nightcrawler:
Hi! I'm Nightcrawler, and this is Shadowcat.

Shadowcat:
And this is your weapons system.

(Shadowcat phases through the controls, short-circuiting them.)

Both:
(Waving.) Bye!

Juggernaut:
What are you trying to do? Embarass me to death? Come on, gimme your best shot!

Cyclops:
You know, that's just what I had in mind. [starts to use his eye blasts against Juggernaut]

Juggernaut:
You think that fancy visor's gonna stop me?! NOTHING stops me! I'M RAW POWER!!!

Cyclops:
Yeah? You want it raw, tough guy? Then take it RAW! [removes his visor and uses his powers at full force]

[After the X-Men defeat the Juggernaut and save the dam.]

Senator:
Er... what did they just do?

Storm:
What they were trained to do: use their powers for good.

President:
My fellow Americans - all my fellow Americans, human and mutant - I stand before you now to clear the X-Men of all wrongdoing in the giant Sentinel robot disaster. The real criminal suspect behind the Sentinel weapon has been arrested and charged. This has caught us all by surprise, but isn't reason for any of us to judge people solely by their differences. To put it as simply as I can, we need to learn more. We need to be open-minded. And we need to give this mutant question more time.

Train Driver:
[to police officer, showing him Juggernaut in train] See, I told you. He jumped on at Roseburg and look at the size of him!

Officer:
All right step on out here big guy! Nice and easy

Juggernaut:
[sighs] You do not want to do this.

Officer:
[takes his beating stick] Get out of there now and identify yourself!

Juggernaut:
[puts on helmet] Hm, you want to know who I am? [gets up and jumps through roof of train car] Juggernaut! [pushes them aside and walks off]

Colossus:
When you tire of the discrimination, Magneto offers you the chance to join him.

Wolverine:
So I can become a lackey like you?! I don't think so!

Colossus:
I am not a lackey! I... I have no choice.

Blob:
We don't go anywhere we ain't wanted.

Toad:
Since when?

Toad:
If you can't be cool, be feared. My momma always told me that!

Kid:
Hey, what's your special power? Can you, like, read my mind?

Rogue:
Yeah, like I could find it.

Shadowcat:
This is the real you, isn't it?! You're nothing but a hood!

Avalanche:
Right. I'll never be good enough for you!

Cyclops:
Logan, have you ever... you know... really cared for someone?

Wolverine:
Pliers.

Cyclops:
[tosses wire strippers] I mean, you felt it so strong you couldn't even get the words out?

Wolverine:
Yeah, once. Most beautiful bike I ever saw. I was so speechless someone else bought her. [groans] Not wire strippers, pliers! Use your eyes, kid!

Cyclops:
Problem is, how's the guy supposed to know if the girl feels the same way?

Wolverine:
Look, here's how I see it: I'd like to finish this job before New Years. So if you don't tell her, I will.

Quicksilver:
May I remind you losers that Magneto put me in charge of this group for a reason? The only chance you have of joining his new group is if you guys can prove you can work together as a team. And that, my friends, takes leadership. Strong, deicsive, fearless- WANDA! Don't tell her I'm here!

[Quicksilver hides in a closet as Scarlet Witch storms into the Brotherhood home.]

Toad:
Babycakes, you've come back to me.

Scarlet Witch:
Where is he?!

Toad:
Pietro? He's in the closet.

Quicksilver:
Thanks a lot, wart boy!

Nightcrawler:
That was a delicious dinner, Mrs. Sefton.

Amanda's Mother:
Well, it was sweet of you to offer to do the dishes.

Amanda:
Oh, Kurt is very considerate. He gets good grades, too. And he has the nicest friends.

[Immediately before Toad crashes into the Sefton cottage and tries to steal Nightcrawler's portable holo-projector.]

[After Toad accidentally slips into the sink.]

Toad:
EW! I touched soap!

Jamie:
Come on, Kitty, just wear it for a while.

Kitty:
Jamie, I said no.

Kitty:
Oh alright, but this does not mean we're on a date.

Jamie:
It doesn't? {places corsage on kitty}

Kitty:
Listen, you were the only one who didn't have plans. Besides you're, like, 12 years old.

Jamie:
But Roberto lent me his suit and everything. He expects a full report.

Kitty:
Jamie!

(Cyclops and Jean Grey show outright affection for each other.)

Shadowcat:
Oh, man. Are they for real?

Nightcrawler:
[imitating] "Jean, darling, please accept this croissant as a symbol of my love."

Shadowcat:
"Oh, Scott... you have such a way with pastry..."

Deborah 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.

Wolverine:
You...cloned me?

Deborah 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.

Wolverine:
But then you couldn't control it.

Deborah Risman:
She's out there, somewhere. And she must be found.

Deborah Risman:
HYDRA molded her from birth. Removing all distractions. Isolating her from all attachments...or love.

Wolverine:
And yet you just let it all happen.

Deborah 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.

Wolverine:
Enough! She's a child, not a weapon! [Growls] How do you sleep at night?

Deborah Risman:
I don't. That's why I'm here. To help her. To try and undo some of the damage I've done.

Wolverine:
[taking over training from Beast] The course has a new objective today.

New mutants:
[collective groan]

Wolverine:
It's called....Mutant Dodgeball.

New mutants:
[collective cheer]

Iceman:
Yes! I am so good at this game!

Wolverine:
Oh, and extra credit for anyone who takes out the ice cube.

Iceman:
What?!

Professor Xavier:
Why the change of tactics, Logan?

Wolverine:
Sometimes, you gotta let kids just be kids.

Gambit:
"Look, it ain't about you two pitbulls! Let's go find Rogue."

Sabertooth:
(Sniffs)

Wolverine:
(Sniffs) "Hm, three of them, and since I can't detect a third scent, it must be Mystique."

Gambit:
"How 'bout you guys stop sniffin' everything and follow the footprints!"

Shadowcat:
(To Nightcrawler) "I think we're close. Why don't you go up and join the Professor? I'll look for the others."

Nightcrawler:
(Regarding Colossus) And leave you alone with Steel Face? Forget it, he shouldn't be trusted."

Shadowcat:
"Oh, he's not that bad, kind of a softy if you ask me. He's just so quiet."

Colossus:
(After breaking through a wall to regroup with them) "I, I grew concerned."

Wolverine:
"Xavier's mental blocks just saved our lives."

Sabertooth:
(To Wolverine) "Especally yours, Mesmero was telling me to push you off the mountain. Problem is; I'm still tempted."

Gambit:
"Do me a favor, why don't you both jump off the mountain!"

[The Brotherhood house:
The police cars are parked outside. Toad, hanging a bag on his shoulder, hops on the roof, then hops down on the ground. He is grabbed by Lance, who pulls him into the back of the house.]

Lance:
[Searches through the bag] Hey, Toad! Where are our clothes? [Pulls out Wanda's nightgown] This is all just Wanda's stuff! [Wanda snatches her nightgown from him]

Toad:
Yeah, well, who cares what we wear. [To Wanda] I'd go with the, uh, black apres, red top, and matching ruby choker.

[Wanda shoves Toad away and walks away.]

Toad:
[Sighs dreamily] She makes a guy wanna- brush his teeth.

[The lookout point:
Wolverine is looking at the destroyed institute through binoculars. He growls.]

Shadowcat:
Now what? The institute's gone, the professor's missing, we can't go back to school, and it's open season on mutants.

Nightcrawler:
Well, look at the bright side, no homework.

Jean Grey:
[Approaches Cyclops] Scott, it's not all your fault.

Cyclops:
Yeah, right. Face it, Jean, I blew it. I gambled and I lost. Without Mystique, there's no way to find the professor.

Wolverine:
[Approaches Cyclops and Jean, to Cyclops] Hey, if you hadn't have done it, I would have. We'll find him without her.

Storm:
But right now, we have a world out there to worry about: A world that fears us. Somehow, we must teach them that we're the good guys, before it's too late.

Rogue:
[Seeing herself on TV, outraged] Normal?! Look at me! I look fat! [To Logan] Do I look that fat to you?

Wolverine:
Shh. Pipe down, would ya? We're tryin' to keep a low profile.

Rogue:
Well, I am not buyin' these cupcakes. [Puts back the cupcakes]

[about the news broadcast revealing her as a mutant.]

[The X-Men discover Charles in Juggernaut's holding tank.]

Jean:
Professor! [To the technician] Is he all right?

Technician:
Yes, he'll be fine. We had no idea.

Cyclops:
Just get him out of there.

Technician:
[Types on the keyboard to open the tank] I don't understand how anyone could get Juggernaut out, let alone get Professor Xavier in.

Rogue:
That's Mystique.

Jean:
We've learned never to underestimate her.

[Wolverine arrives.]

Wolverine:
[To Cyclops] Good job. [Cyclops nods]

[The tank opens. Cyclops steps inside and holds Charles as he wakes up.]

Cyclops:
Easy, professor. Everything is gonna be okay.

[Jubilee hands her father her suitcases. Her father takes them and puts them in the trunk of the car, as Logan and Charles look on.]

Logan:
[Sighs] First Rahne, now Jubilee. I can't believe parents are pulling their kids out of here. Do they really it'll any better for 'em at home?

Charles:
I hate to admit it, Logan, but I would probably do the same thing.

[Jubilee drives away with her father, as Logan and Charles look on.]

Charles:
After all, I promised them their children would be safe here. Obviously, that hasn't been the case.

Logan:
This is my fault. [Zips up his jacket and tugs it] I shoulda caught Mystique's scent when she was here posing as you.

Charles:
And I should have sensed her in Wanda's hospital room before she abducted me. But the fact is, with her advanced shape-changing abilities, she's now able to conceal herself completely from us.

Logan:
Yeah, well- [Walks away from Charles] I still shoulda known. I'm going for a ride, Charles.

Duncan:
Jean, I want you to know: This doesn't change a thing.

Jean:
It doesn't?

Duncan:
Of Course Not. I'm prepared to overlook your problem.

Jean:
Problem?

Duncan:
Yeah. We could really use your mind-reading powers to good use, like during exams...

Jean:
You...you lug head! We are so through!

[Logan is walking when he sees the X-Men walking past him on their way to Sub-Level 7.]

Logan:
There a funeral I don't know about?

Scott:
Could say that. We dug our own graves last night.

Note:
Scott and Jean's platonic feelings for each other strengthens into pure romance.

[Evan pours himself a glass of milk, which he drinks, then pours himself another glass.]

Ray:
Evan. Quit zoning out, man. How 'bout sharing some of that milk?

[Evan pushes the milk carton towards Ray. As Ray takes the carton, Evan discovers that his hand is covered in bone plates, prompting him to cover it with his other hand.]

Ray:
Thanks. [Pours milk into his bowl of cereal]

[Evan stands up and carries his bowl to the sink.]

Ray:
Hey, uh, you entering that Pow-R8 skate this morning?

Evan:
[Puts his bowl in the sink] Yeah, why?

Ray:
'Cause I think it's about to start.

[Evan turns to look at the clock.]

[Ray slowly frees his body from Torpid's immobilizing touch. Scaleface approaches him and transforms into a dragon.]

Ray:
Scaleface! You gotta let me go!

[Ray blasts the manhole cover into the air and climbs out. He dodges Scaleface's hand as she tries to grab him. As Ray runs down the street, he pulls out his cellphone and calls Charles.]

Ray:
[On his phone] Professor, I know where Evan is!

[Ororo is looking for Evan.]

Ororo:
Evan!

Evan:
[Approaches his aunt] I'm here.

Ororo:
Evan! [Starts to run to her nephew]

Evan:
[Stops Ororo] Wait! Stay back. I'm- I'm going through some changes.

Ororo:
That doesn't matter. Let me take you home.

Evan:
No. Not right now. I just gotta take a break. Everything's so crazy right now.

Ororo:
But we can help you through this.

Evan:
Please don't worry about me, or look for me. I'm with friends. Goodbye, Auntie O. [Walks away along with the Morlocks]

Ororo:
Wait! [Starts running after Evan and the Morlocks] Evan, don't go! [Stops running after seeing that Evan and the Morlocks have disappeared] Evan! [Becomes heartbroken]

[Charles closes the door of his car.]

Charles:
Logan, let's go home. [Buckles his seatbelt]

Kitty:
[In the driver's seat wearing the driver's hat, shocking Charles] Logan said I could drive. Hang on, we'll be there in a jiffy!

[Kitty drives away, with Charles pressed up against the window in terror.]

[Toad has destroyed Amanda's house and stolen Kurt's image inducer, revealing his true self]

Amanda:
[weakly] So, who wants dessert?

[Nightcrawler is sadly staring at a picture of himself and Amanda.]

Toad:
[Hops in through the window, causing Nightcrawler to turn around] Hey, hey, hey! Nightcreeper!

Nightcrawler:
[Enraged] You! You ruined my life, you bug-eating scab! Give me back my inducer!

Toad:
[Hop on the bed] Now, I'm sensing some hostility here.

[Enraged, Nightcrawler attempts to tackle Toad, but he jumps up in the air and lands on top of him. Nightcrawler throws Toad on the floor and they start fighting.]

Toad:
[Gets Nightcrawler in a headlock] Uh, would this be the wrong time to ask you for a favor?

[Nightcrawler throws Toad of him, then tackles him. They keep fighting.]

Toad:
[Pins Nightcrawler down] Look, I haven't got your inducer, okay? But you'll get it back, I promise. I just need your help on a teeny-weeny matter.

[Nightcrawler and Toad arrive outside Magneto's hideout.]

Toad:
Look, all you gotta do is get us in there. I'll do the "damsel rescuing".

Nightcrawler:
Fine. But the minute we're out, we go get the inducer, right?

Toad:
Yeah, uh, well [Pulls out the image inducer] about that–

Nightcrawler:
[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 leave]

Toad:
[Stops Nightcrawler before he can leave] 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.

Nightcrawler:
You mean, like I did, till you showed up.

Toad:
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?

Nightcrawler:
[Sighs, knowing he has no choice but to help Toad rescue Wanda] Somebody kick me.

Toad:
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 some books out of the bookcase and putting them in a box, with Toad looking on.]

Toad:
Okay, okay. Let me get this straight. You mean, you're not mad at your father no more?

Wanda:
Not really. I know I was once, but- it's funny. I just can't seem to remember why. It's all a blur.

Toad:
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.]

Pietro:
Are you nuts?! Why do you wanna start all that again?!

Toad:
Hey, I was just-

Pietro:
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.

Toad:
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.]

[Rogue is inside the infirmary recovering, with Logan by her side. Charles is outside looking on.]

Scott:
[Approaches Charles] How long has he been in there?

Charles:
He's never left her side.

Scott:
But she is recovering, right?

Charles:
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.]

Logan:
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.]

[Scott and Ray see that the person trying to enter is Rogue.]

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.]

Rogue:
What's going on?

Scott:
Someone's infiltrated the institute. They've already taken down the professor.

Rogue:
[Horrified] Oh, no.

Ray:
[Crouches down in front of Charles] It's small, but I think I can zap it off without hurting him.

Scott:
Do it.

[Ray charges and moves his hand over the device on Charles' head, ready to zap it off.]

Logan:
[Bursts in] Don't! Those things are wired to explode.

[Ray recoils in horror.]

Scott:
Logan, who's doing all this?

Logan:
We gotta get you three outta here.

Scott:
No! I'm not leaving without the others.

Rogue:
Me neither.

Ray:
I'm staying, too.

[Logan growls in anger.]

[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:
I think I'm gonna pass on breakfast. [Walks away]
