X: First Class2011

Professor Charles Xavier:
Shaw's declared war on mankind on all of us, he has to be stopped.

Erik Lehnsherr:
I am not gonna stop Shaw, I am gonna kill him. Do you have it in you to allow that?

[Erik pauses while Charles shifts in his chair uneasy]

Erik Lehnsherr:
You known all along why I was here Charles, but things have changed. What started as a covert of mission, tomorrow mankind will know mutants exist. Shaw, us, they won't differentiate. They'll fear us. And that fear will turn to hatred.

Professor Charles Xavier:
Not if we stop a war, not if we can prevent Shaw, not if we risk our lives doing so.

Erik Lehnsherr:
Would they do the same for us?

Professor Charles Xavier:
We have it in us to be the better man.

Erik Lehnsherr:
We already are! We are the next stage of human evolution, you said it yourself...

Professor Charles Xavier:
[cuts in] No, no...

Erik Lehnsherr:
Are you really so naive as to think that they won't battle their own extinction? Or is it arrogance?

Professor Charles Xavier:
[looks at Erik in disagreement] I am sorry.

Erik Lehnsherr:
After tomorrow, they are gonna turn on us. But you are blinded because you believe they are all like Moira.

Professor Charles Xavier:
And you believe they are all like Shaw. [leans forward]

Professor Charles Xavier:
Listen to me very carefully, my friend: killing Shaw will not bring you peace.

Erik Lehnsherr:
Peace was never an option.
