X-Men: Evolution, Season 4

Toad:
Hello, McFly!

(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.]

Nightcrawler:
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.)

Toad:
Never fear, people, the Brotherhood has arrived. We'll stop that runaway train.

Bystander:
Yeah, but what about the other train?

Quicksilver:
Uh... What other train?

Bystander:
Radio says one's coming the other way carrying eight tankers of gasoline.

Avalanche:
Yea THIS"LL go out with a bang.

Magma:
Hey! Accidents happen. Like, if I "accidentally" dropped this, it will "accidentally" burn a hole right through your car.

(to Duncan, as he threatens Cannonball.)

Duncan:
Get away from there, or I'll show you how accidents can go both ways!

Spyke:
As for you: threatening little girls? You're lucky I only damaged your car.

Duncan:
Yeah? And you think I'm going to let you get away with messing up my ride?

Spyke:
Well, I guess the question is: What are you going to do about it?

(Duncan's two companions run away in fear)

Spyke:
Go ahead. Make the call. Spread the word. Tell them the mutants of Bayville are off-limits to hate crime, as of now.

(Spyke jumps into the sewers, shooting off two flaming arrows that blow up Duncan's car)

Duncan:
(Into phone) Get me the police!

Wolverine:
When did the porcupine start shooting flaming arrows? Did I miss an upgrade notice or something?

Wolverine:
Maybe it slipped your notice, Chuck, but I'm not exactly the model of restraint.

Wolverine:
Alright, I'll try to sweet talk the kid into not smacking down creeps and thugs who deserve it. But you'll be lucky if I don't end up joining him myself.

Beast:
We, scientists, have a special term for that called "I don't know..."

Kid:
I'm starting to think the old lady next door might actually be one.

(during the news channel coverage on the public's reaction toward mutants.)

Farmer:
What's a mutant?

(during the news channel coverage on the public's reaction toward mutants.)

Jean Grey:
Duncan, don't do this.

Duncan:
Save it, Jean. My days of listening to you are over.

Jean Grey:
And my days of putting up with you are over!

[After Dorian Leech suddenly causes all the power to go out, including mutant power.]

Cyclops:
...That kid! Somehow, he is nullifying all the energy around here. Including mutant powers.

Wolverine:
[Wincing in pain] Yeah... how nice.

[Wolverine invades the Acolyte base and threatens Pyro.]

Wolverine:
I'm looking for Gambit.

Pyro:
Watch it, mate. You're wrinkling the uniform!

[Pyro forms a fiery dragon and uses it to attack Wolverine.]

Pyro:
I'm real glad you dropped by, since I've been bored outta my skull!

[Wolverine eventually manages to destroy Pyro's flame-thrower, defeating the dragon. He then grabs Pyro.]

Wolverine:
Where's your buddies?!

Pyro:
Since Magneto's gone, Colossus bailed and went back to Russia, Sabretooth's out playing with a big ball of yarn somewhere, and Gambit didn't leave a note on the fridge.

[Wolverine slams him back into his chair and walks away.]

Rogue:
What is it with you and cards?

Gambit:
Oh, it's like having fifty-two explosives in one little pocket. I always save her for last.

Rogue:
Queen of Hearts?

Gambit:
My lucky lady. She's gotten me out of a lot of jams.

Rogue:
Then I need a deck of those.

[After Rogue dangles Gambit halfway out of the train with an iron bar.]

Rogue:
I don't like getting pushed in any direction. Got it?

Gambit:
Point taken. Now here's mine: Pull me in, or I blow this boxcar off the tracks.

(Rogue finally takes back the bar and pulls Gambit in.)

Rogue:
You're just crazy enough to do it.

Gambit:
We do what we have to, right cherie?

Gambit:
I'm not afraid. Go ahead: absorb my thoughts. See for yourself that I mean you no harm.

Rogue:
Like I want you inside my head.

Gambit's foster father:
(after Storm winds some crooks away) That chick can control the weather!

Rogue:
Meet my family.

Gambit:
Rogue...

Rogue:
Don't. You just did the wrong thing for the right reasons.

Gambit:
So, what now?

Rogue:
I'm going back with the X-Men. I don't care what you do.

Gambit:
Sure, you don't.

Gambit:
You'll be fine, cherie. You've got people looking out for you.

[Xavier and Apocalypse communicate telepathically.]

Professor Xavier:
I am Charles Xavier.

Apocalypse:
I know who you are.

Professor Xavier:
Then you know I've merely come to talk. To discuss what you're planning, and--

Apocalypse:
I have planned nothing. I am but an instrument of destiny.

Professor Xavier:
But it's a destiny of destruction.

Apocalypse:
The future came to me in that craft. I have embraced it, and merged with its technology so that I may lead the evolution of the human race.

Professor Xavier:
The human race does not need your help.

Apocalypse:
Hmmph! Since when has mankind ever known what it needs?

Professor Xavier:
You have to know that somehow, you will be stopped.

Apocalypse:
What I know is... it will not be by you.

Wolverine:
Everything you've ever learned about yourselves - your strengths, and your limits...it all comes down to this very moment. We're the world's last, best hope to stop this madman.

(to all the X-Men and the volunteer mutants from the Brotherhood, the Morlocks, and the Acolytes.)

[After the Brotherhood manages to bury Magneto under debris.]

Toad:
Did we win?

Quicksilver:
Don't you ever learn?

Toad:
Oh, that's right. We never win.

Rogue:
Where'd it go?

Wolverine:
I don't know. Hopefully it just fell through the cracks of time, never to be seen again.

Rogue:
For some reason, I don't think we'll be that lucky.

(About Apocalypse, after he disappears)

Nightcrawler:
You did it, Rogue. The girl who shut herself off from the world just saved it.

Mystique:
Rogue... Kurt... I just want you to know that the things I did...all the things I did...were because I...

Nightcrawler:
Save it, Mystique.

Rogue:
Even you don't believe your excuses, so just...leave us alone.

[In the aftermath of the victory over Apocalypse.]

Professor Xavier:
Thanks to you all, we have averted catastrophe. It was not without its price, however. But steel is forged through fire, and like it, we have been made stronger. We are prepared for what the future brings. I know this, because I have glimpsed it in the mind of Apocalypse. Many challenges still await us, but I saw some who have been our enemies become friends. And, with a heavy heart, I saw the dearest of friends become the most terrible enemies. I saw my X-Men grow and change. And, of course, I saw that some people never change. But one thing was clear - that no matter what awaits us, terrible or wondrous, the X-Men will always be there, ready. And of that, I am proud.

[The Xavier Institute.]

Bobby:
I'm just saying I'm practically an X-Man. I don't need to learn this stuff. None of us do.

Scott:
Look- [Wipes an apple in his hand with a cloth] -I understand that Jean and I aren't that much older, but we have been doing this for longer. [Puts down the apple on Bobby's table]

Jean:
We've learned a lot since we've been here, working with the professor, Storm, and Logan. [Telekinetically levitates the New Mutants into the air]

Scott:
We could say we've got experience on our side. [Lifts up his sunglasses and fires an optic beam that barely misses Bobby, reflects off the walls and ceiling, barely missing the New Mutants by an inch, and comes down and splits an apple on Bobby's desk in two]

Bobby:
[Impressed] Whoa.

Jean:
[Telekinetically lowers the New Mutants back into their seats] Now do you guys wanna something from us old timers or not?

[Logan, who is outside looking on, chuckles. As Logan walks away, the doors close.]

[Spyke starts to approach the manhole when Storm approaches him.]

Storm:
Evan, please. You don't have to go back with them. Return to the Institute.

Spyke:
Sorry, Auntie O. But this? [Picks up Duncan's gun] This isn't over. And you guys don't need me, not like they do.

Storm:
Then just know that I am proud of you.

[Spyke looks at his aunt and the rest of the X-Men, then chuckles and goes down into the sewers.]

[Dorian and his mother are approaching their house when Charles approaches them.]

Charles:
Mrs. Leech. I realize this will be difficult times. [Hands Mrs. Leech a business card. Mrs. Leech takes it] But there is a place where you can find help. The Xavier Institute for Gifted Children will welcome Dorian, when you feel he's ready.

[Dorian smiles at Charles, who wheels away.]

[Kurt squeezes some mustard onto a hot dog. He picks up the hot dog and starts to leave, but Kitty phases in and grabs him.]

Kitty:
Where is Danielle?!

Kurt:
I thought the professor talked to you about that, Kitty, there is no-

Kitty:
Why are you lying to me? Why is everyone lying to me?

Kurt:
[Puts his hand on Kitty's shoulder] Kitty, seriously, I'm telling you the truth. I don't know any Danielle.

Kitty:
[Realizes something] Wait a minute. The professor must have wiped your memories of her.

Kurt:
Kitty, would you listen to yourself?

Kitty:
[Grabs Kurt's shirt] Teleport me to Dark Hollow.

Kurt:
I can't! That's too far.

Kitty:
Well- then get me as close as you can.

Kurt:
[Sighs, knowing he has no choice but to go with Kitty to Dark Hollow] Go get changed.

[Kitty and Kurt arrive in Dark Hollow.]

Kurt:
[Looks around the town] Whoa! This is the town of Dark Hollow?

Kitty:
[Looks around the town] What happened here? [Hears a payphone ringing and runs to answer the call] Hello?

Danielle:
[Through the phone] Kitty? Are you there?

Kitty:
[On the phone] I'm here. Where are you?

Danielle:
[Through the phone] Time is running out! Help me! Help me!

[The call cuts off. Kitty gasps and turns to Kurt.]

Kurt:
What are you doing?

Kitty:
The phone rang. It was Danielle. She needs my help.

Kurt:
Kitty- [Takes the phone from Kitty] -I'm worried about you.

[Kurt realizes that the phone is disconnected. Kitty fears the worst. She picks up the phonebook, flips through its pages, and finds Danielle's address.]

Kitty:
Here! Moonstar. 760 Maggie Blue Road.

[Kitty and Kurt are searching for Danielle.]

Kurt:
Come on, Kitty, this doesn't make any sense.

Kitty:
I won't abandon my friend.

Kurt:
How can she be your friend?

Kitty:
I don't know, Kurt, she just is and she said time was running out.

Kurt:
[Looks down and sees water rising from below his and Kitty's feet] It is for us too. This water is getting higher and higher.

Kitty:
[Realizes something] That's it! The water's rising. I bet she's trapped in here.

Kurt:
For two years?

Kitty:
And I think I know where.

[Kitty and Kurt arrive at the place where Kitty's accident happened.]

Kitty:
This is where I met her. Something tells me she's somewhere down there.

Kurt:
Why don't we just go get help?

Kitty:
You get help. [Takes the flashlight from Kurt] I'm going down there!

Kurt:
[Horrified] Kitty, no!

[Kitty dives into the water and phases into the ground.]

[Danielle wakes up in the infirmary, with Kitty by her side.]

Kitty:
Hi. Feeling better?

Danielle:
Yes.

Kitty:
Good, because your grandfather will be here soon.

Danielle:
Kitty, thank you for believing.

Kitty:
Hey, how could I not believe?

[Logan, Charles, and Kurt are outside the infirmary watching Kitty and Danielle talk.]

Kitty:
When you projected yourself into my mind, everything was so real. It was like- we actually became friends.

Danielle:
We did.

[Outside the infirmary.]

Kurt:
But- how did she survive down there?

Charles:
It was her mutant abilities. They put her into a form of hibernation.

Logan:
And she connected with Kitty through, what, some kind of out-of-body experience?

Charles:
Exactly, Logan. A psychic connection that made for a most unusual friendship.

Mesmero:
Apocalypse will trigger the dormant X gene in the normal population, turning most into mutants.

Storm:
what do you mean "most"?

Mesmero:
Some will not survive the wave of evolution.

[Jean, sobbing, runs out of Cerebro, with Cyclops behind her.]

Cyclops:
Jean–

Jean Grey:
He knew this would happen! I knew this would happen! I should have stopped him!

Cyclops:
How? Jean, the professor was gonna do what he thought was right, regardless of the risks. And Storm would never abandon him. [Puts his hand on Jean's shoulder] There was nothing you could have done.

[Cyclops and Jean embrace as the latter continues sobbing.]

Jean:
Sorry, Professor, but I have to do this. Linking with Cerebro will help me even the odds.

Jean:
Professor.

Charles:
Thank you, Jean.

[Looks sad, knowing what she will become in the near future]
