X2: X-Men United

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
Mr. Stryker. How kind of you to visit. Have you come to make sure that the tax payers' dollars are keeping me comfortable?

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
The war has begun... [Xavier calls for Scott] You should have killed me when you had the chance!

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
Too much iron in your blood.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman, especially one who's interested in you.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
What do you intend to do? Scratch it with your claws?

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
This is one lovers' quarrel we cannot get involved in, my dear.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
[To Rogue] We love what you've done with your hair.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
[Refering to his giving Stryker information about the school.] I'm sorry, Charles.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
Mr. Stryker. Funny we keep running in to each other. Mark my words: it will never happen again.

Professor Charles Xavier:
The next time you feel like showing off - don't.

Professor Charles Xavier:
You see, Logan? We're not as alone as you think.

Professor Charles Xavier:
It is an historical fact. Sharing has never been humanity's defining attribute.

Professor Charles Xavier:
We're here to stay, Mr. President. The next move is yours.

Logan/Wolverine:
You picked the wrong house, Bub.

Logan/Wolverine:
You wanna shoot me? SHOOT ME!

Logan/Wolverine:
[in reaction to Deathstrike extending her claws] Holy sh*t!

Logan/Wolverine:
[impales Stryker with his claws] How does it feel, Bub?!

Colonel William Stryker:
I was piloting black-ops missions in the jungles of North Vietnam when you were suckin' on your mama's tit at Woodstock, Kelly. Don't lecture me about war. This already is a war.

Colonel William Stryker:
[ To Wolverine] I didn't realize Xavier was taking in animals, even animals as unique as you.

Colonel William Stryker:
The one thing I know better than anyone is my own work. Seal the room. Shoot it.

Colonel William Stryker:
I used to think you were one of a kind, Wolverine. I was wrong.

Colonel William Stryker:
Sergeant, kill anyone who approaches... even if it's me.

Colonel William Stryker:
You were an animal then, you're an animal now. I just gave you claws.

Colonel William Stryker:
One day, someone will finish what I've started, Wolverine! One day!! One day!!!

Jean Grey:
Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It is how we have evolved from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.

Jean Grey:
I keep feeling something bad is supposed to happen.

Jean Grey:
(trying to stop the missiles) :Storm: Jean! :Jean: Oh god (missile hits)

Jean Grey:
(being blasted by Scott but blocking it with force field) Scott don't do this! (Jean's eyes change to red and fire starts to surround her as she blows the force field forward knocking both of them back)

Mrs. Drake:
Bobby, have you tried... not being a mutant?

John Allerdyce/Pyro:
You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about on the news? I'm the worst one.

Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler:
My name is Kurt Wagner, but in the Munich circus I was known as the Incredible Nightcrawler. (several different times)

[first lines]

Professor Charles Xavier:
Mutants. Since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet, debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their share of the world? Either way it is a historical fact: Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute.

[Two museum teenagers were talking to John Allerdyce, Bobby Drake and Marie.]

Museum Teenager #1:
[to John] My brother asked you a simple question.

Museum Teenager #2:
Why are you being such a dick?

Museum Teenager #1:
Yeah, why are you being such a dick?

Pyro:
Because I can. [laughs]

Museum Teenager #2:
Can I have a light?

Pyro:
[opens and stares at his lighter for a second] Hmm. [closes his lighter] Sorry can't help you out, pal. [laughs]

Rogue:
John, knock it off.

Iceman:
Why don't you stop showing off?

Pyro:
Oh. For her? I can't help it if your girlfriend's getting excited.

[One of the teenagers stare at Rogue, impudently. She was annoyed and ignores him]

Iceman:
I don't think she's getting excited.

Pyro:
Alright, alright. Don't get shooked up we're trying to have a good time.

Iceman:
I think you're the only one having a good time.

[The teenager grabs John's lighter.]

Pyro:
Hey!

[John tries to get his lighter back from the teen, who now uses it to light a cigarette, but is blocked by his brother.]

Pyro:
That's really cute, man.

Museum Teenager #1:
What are you gonna do?

[John doesn't respond.]

Museum Teenager #1:
So you're not so tough.

[John turns to the other teenager and uses his power to ignite him. The people in the museum were shocked as John laughs. Bobby manage to stop the fire with his cryokinesis. The people in the museum were stunned at Bobby and John when they suddenly freeze.]

Rogue:
Bobby, what did you do?

Iceman:
I didn't do this.

Professor Xavier:
No. I did.

[Professor X shows up in the museum.]

Professor Xavier:
[to John] And the next time you feel like showing off, don't.

Wolverine:
Who's this guy?

Rogue:
This is Bobby, he's my...

Iceman:
I'm her boyfriend. [shakes Wolverine's hand and nearly freezes it.] Call me Iceman.

Wolverine:
Boyfriend? So how do you guys...?

Iceman:
Well, we're still working on that.

Colonel William Stryker:
We developed the technology that built his plastic prison.

Senator Kelly:
This facility is a school.

Colonel William Stryker:
Sure it is. [he sets photos on the president's desk]

President McKenna:
What the hell is that?

Colonel William Stryker:
A jet.

President:
What kind of jet?

Colonel William Stryker:
We don't know - but it comes up out of the basketball court.

Professor Charles Xavier:
[as Wolverine brings has lit his cigar into the Cerebro chamber] Logan, my tolerance for your smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here and you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six-year-old girl.

Wolverine:
Can you do that?

Professor Charles Xavier:
I'd have Jean braid your hair.

Wolverine:
[puts out the cigar on the palm of his own hand]

Wolverine:
Got any beer?

Iceman:
This is a school.

Wolverine:
So that's a no.

Iceman:
Yeah, that's a no.

Wolverine:
Got anything stronger than chocolate milk?

Iceman:
There's some sodas in the cabinet.

Wolvering:
[handing a warm soda to Bobby who uses his abilities to chill it] Thanks!

Iceman:
No problem.

[Professor Xavier learns that Colonel Stryker has been interrogating Magneto in prison.]

Professor Charles Xavier:
Erik, what have you done?

Magneto:
I'm sorry, Charles. I couldn't help it.

Professor Charles Xavier:
What have you told Stryker?

Magneto:
Everything.

Colossus:
I can help you!

Wolverine:
Help them. [meaning the other students]

Professor Charles Xavier:
[Wakes up in Stryker's chambers] William?

Colonel William Stryker:
Please, Xavier, don't get up!

[electronic static]

Colonel William Stryker:
I call it the neural inhibitor. It keeps you outta here.

Professor Xavier:
What have you done with Scott?

Colonel William Stryker:
Oh, don't worry. I'm just giving him a little re-education. Of course, you know all about that, don't you!?

Professor Xavier:
William, you wanted me to cure your son, but mutation isn't a disease...

Colonel William Stryker:
[hatefully] YOU'RE LYING! You were even more frightened of him than I was. You know, just one year after Jason returned from your 'school', my wife-! You see, he resented us, he blamed us for his condition, so he would toy with our minds, projecting visions and scenarios into our brains. Well, my wife, in the end she took a power drill to her left temple in an attempt to bore the images out. [contemptuously] My boy, the great illusionist!

Professor Xavier:
For someone who hates mutants... you certainly keep some strange company.

Colonel William Stryker:
Oh, they serve their purpose... as long as they can be controlled.

Professor Xavier:
You arranged the attack on the president.

Colonel William Stryker:
You didn't even have to read my mind. You know, I've been working with mutants as long as you have, Xavier... but the most frustrating thing I've learned is that nobody really knows how many even exist or how to find them - except you. Unfortunately this little potion won't work on you, will it? You're much too powerful for that. Instead we'll go right to the source. Allow me to introduce mutant 143. The fluid secreted by his brain acts as a mind-controlling agent.

[Stryker introduces Jason, his son bounded on a wheelchair, who is also a mutant]

William Stryker:
But that's only where it begins.

Professor Xavier:
Jason. Oh, my god, William, this is your son! What have you-

Colonel William Stryker:
NO, Charles! My son is dead! Just like the rest of you.

Mr. Drake:
So.. uh, when did you first know you were a... A---

Pyro:
A mutant?

[Mrs. Drake turns to John, who was flipping his lighter.]

Mr. Drake:
Would you cut that out?

[John closes his lighter.]

Mr. Drake:
You have to understand, we thought Bobby was going to a school for the gifted.

Rogue:
Bobby is gifted.

Mr. Drake:
We know that. We just didn't realize he was-

Mrs. Drake:
We still love you, Bobby. It's just this mutant problem is a little-

Wolverine:
What mutant problem?

Mrs. Drake:
Complicated...

Mr. Drake:
What exactly are you a professor of, Mr. Logan?

Wolverine:
Art.

Rogue:
Well, you should see what Bobby can do.

[Mrs. Drake drinks her tea as Bobby touches the cup which freezes the tea solid.]

Mrs. Drake:
Bobby.

[Mrs. Drake drops the tea, which is now solid ice.]

Iceman:
I can do a lot more than that.

[Mrs. Drake, scared, places her tea in the coffee table.; John laughs in cruelty.]

[After Bobby's younger brother, Ronny discover about his brother being a mutant and goes upstairs]

Mrs. Drake:
This is all my fault.

Pyro:
Actually, they've discovered that males are the ones who carry the mutant gene and pass it on. So- it's his fault. [points at Mr. Drake.]

[While Kurt was praying, Ororo stumbles to him and look at Kurt's markings in his face]

Storm:
So... what... are they?

Nightcrawler:
They are angelic symbols passed on to mankind by the Archangel Gabriel.

Storm:
They're beautiful. How many do you have?

Nightcrawler:
One for every sin. So quite a few.

[Storm smiles]

Nightcrawler:
You and Miss Grey are schoolteachers?

Storm:
Yes. At a school for people like us, where we can be safe.

Nightcrawler:
Safe from what?

Storm:
Everyone else.

Nightcrawler:
You know, outside of the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I did not hate them: I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.

Storm:
Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago.

Nightcrawler:
Someone so beautiful should not be so angry.

Storm:
Sometimes anger can help you survive.

Nightcrawler:
So can faith.

[The problem with built-in metal claws.]

Police Officer:
Drop the knives and put your hands in the air. I said, drop the knives!

Wolverine:
This is just a misunderstanding-

Police Officer:
Put the knives DOWN!

Wolverine:
I can't.

Wolverine:
Who the hell is this?

Nightcrawler:
My name is Kurt Wagner. But in the Munich circus, I was known as The Incredible Nightcrawler!

Wolverine:
Ah, save it.

[After an F-16 fighter orders them to land:
]

Storm:
Someone's pretty pissed.

Wolverine:
I wonder why! [glares at Pyro, who has previously blown up some police cars]

[Following a series of loops in the jet during the incident with F-16 fighters]

Pyro:
Please don't do that again.

Wolverine:
I agree.

[Yet more evasive movements]

Jean Grey:
Everyone OK?

Logan/Wolverine:
No.

[After Nightcrawler teleported out of the crippled X-Jet to save her.]

Rogue:
[humble.] Thank you.

Nightcrawler:
[surprised.] Bitte schön. ["You're welcome" in German.]

Magneto:
His name is Colonel William Stryker, and he invaded your mansion for one purpose; he wanted Cerebro, or enough of it to build one of his own.

Dr. Jean Grey:
But that doesn't make any sense. Stryker would need the Professor to operate it.

Magneto:
Which I think is the only reason my old friend is still alive.

Storm:
Oh my God...[She, Jean and Magneto exchange worried looks]

Wolverine:
What are you all so afraid of?

Magneto:
While Cerebro is working, Charles's mind is connected to every living person on the planet. If he were forced to concentrate hard enough on a particular group-let's say, mutants, for example-he could kill us all!

Storm:
[coldly] Wait a minute. How would Stryker even know where to find Cerebro in the first place?

Magneto:
[ashamed] Because I told him. I helped Charles build it, remember? Mr. Stryker has powerful methods of persuasion, even against a mutant as strong as Charles.

Jean Grey:
So who is this Stryker, anyway?

Magneto:
He's a military scientist. He spent his whole life trying to solve the 'mutant problem'. If you want a more intimate perspective, why don't you ask Wolverine? [to Wolverine] You don't remember, do you? William Stryker: The only other man I know who can manipulate adamantium. The metal on your bones. It carries his signature.

Wolverine:
But the Professor-

Magneto:
The Professor trusted you were smart enough to discover this on your own. He gives you more credit than I do.

Jean Grey:
Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, Logan. They don't take him home. They marry the good guy.

Wolverine:
I could be the good guy.

Jean Grey:
Logan, the good guy sticks around.

Nightcrawler:
Excuse me. They say you can imitate anybody. Even their voice.

Mystique:
[in Nightcrawler's voice and accent] Even their voice.

Nightcrawler:
Then why not stay in disguise all the time? You know- look like everyone else?

Mystique:
[in her normal voice] Because we shouldn't have to.

[Making out with a person he thinks is Jean Grey, Wolverine finds scars from the wound he gave Mystique in the first film.]

Mystique:
[returns to her own form] No one's ever left a scar quite like you.

Wolverine:
What do you want, an apology?

Mystique:
You know what I want. The question is, what do you want? [She shape-shifts into Storm, Rogue and Jean; Wolverine pushes her away and she assumes the form of Stryker.] What do you really want?

Logan/Wolverine:
I want you to get out.

[Looking annoyed, Mystique shape-shifts back to herself and leaves]

Logan/Wolverine:
[to himself] Jesus...

Pyro:
So, they say you're the bad guy.

Magneto:
Is that what they say?

Pyro:
That's a dorky-looking helmet. What's it for?

Magneto:
This "dorky-looking helmet" is the only thing that's going to protect me from the real bad guys. [grabs Pyro's lighter with his power] What's your name?

Pyro:
John.

Magneto:
What's your real name, John?

Pyro:
[collects a flame from the lighter and juggles a small fireball.] Pyro.

Magneto:
That's quite a talent you have there, Pyro.

Pyro:
I can only manipulate the fire. I can't create it. [closes his hand, extinguishing the flames]

Magneto:
You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.

[Mystique has bypassed the security at Stryker's secret base.]

Logan/Wolverine:
She's good.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto:
You have no idea.

[While Stryker attempted to escape with his helicopter, Wolverine arrives and punches him. He then shoves Stryker to the helicopter and stabs him with his claws, screaming in pain.]

Logan/Wolverine:
How does it feel, bub?!

Colonel William Stryker:
[groans in pain] Why did you come back?

Logan/Wolverine:
You cut me open. You took my life!

Colonel William Stryker:
You make it sound as if I stole something from you? As I recall, it was you who volunteered for the procedure.

Logan/Wolverine:
Who am I?

Colonel William Stryker:
You... are just a failed experiment.

[Wolverine stabs Stryker further.]

Colonel William Stryker:
...If you really knew about your past, what kind of person you were? The work we did together? People don't change, Wolverine. You were an animal then. You're an animal now. I just gave you claws!

[The sound alarms the dam has began to collapse.]

Logan/Wolverine:
What the hell is that? What is it?!

Colonel William Stryker:
The dam's ruptured. It's gonna flood water into the spillway. It's trying to relieve the pressure. It's too late. In a few minutes, we'll all be underwater. Come with me, and I'll tell you everything you want to know. You can't help your friends. They're as good as dead, Wolverine. You're a survivor, always have been.

Logan/Wolverine:
Well. I thought I was just an animal... with claws. [extends his claws further to Stryker's face] If we die, you die! [grabs Stryker and chains him in the helicopter's landing gear.]

[Wolverine runs off.]

Colonel William Stryker:
There are no exits that way, Wolverine!!!

Cyclops:
Storm, who is this guy? Who are you?

Nightcrawler:
My name is Kurt Wagner. But in the Munich circus, I was-

Storm [cutting him off]:
He's a teleporter.

[Wolverine approaches Stryker, who was chained to the chunk of the dam by Magneto earlier, while carrying Artie in his arms.]

Colonel William Stryker:
Who has the answers, Wolverine? Those people or that creature in your arms?

[Logan doesn't respond and turns to Artie then turns back to Stryker]

Colonel William Stryker:
Huh? Huh?!

[Wolverine puts down Artie, then takes off his dog and throws it at Stryker's feet]

Wolverine:
[picks up Artie] I'll take my chances with him. [walks away]

Colonel William Stryker:
One day! Someone will finish what I've started, Wolverine! One day!

[While Wolverine was walking away, Artie turns to Stryker, and sticks out his lizard tongue at him]

Colonel William Stryker:
[shouts] ONE DAY!!!

[Professor Xavier has handed the President classified documents detailing Colonel Stryker's activities.]

President McKenna:
Where did you get these?

Professor Charles Xavier:
Let's just say I know a little girl who can walk through walls.

[last lines]

Jean Grey:
Mutation. It is the key to our evolution. It is how we have evolved from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.

Tagline:
The time has come for those who are different to stand united.

Tagline:
Get ready for the return of the Evolution.

Tagline:
Evolution Continues.

Tagline:
The ones we fear most, will be all that can save us... again.

Tagline:
In this world wide conspiracy the only thing you can count on... Is the X factor.

Tagline:
First, they were fighting for acceptance. Now, they're battling for survival.

William Stryker:
You were an animal then, and you're an animal now. I just gave you claws.
