movie quotes
[Cyclops doesn't know if Logan's an imposter]
Wolverine: It's me!
Cyclops: Prove it!
Wolverine: You're a dick.
Cyclops: Okay.

Wolverine: Magneto's right: there is a war coming. Are you sure you're on the right side?
Storm: At least I've chosen a side.

[about his claws]
Rogue: When they come out... does it hurt?
Wolverine: Every time.

Bobby: Welcome to Mutant High.

Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: You can stay here. We can protect you from Magneto.
Wolverine: What's a Magneto?

Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Ah, Logan. I'd like you to meet Ororo Monroe, also called Storm. This is Scott Summers, also called Cyclops. They saved your life. I believe you already know Dr. Jean Grey. You are in my School for the Gifted for Mutants. You'll be safe here from Magneto.
Wolverine: What's a Magneto?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: A very powerful mutant. He believes that a war is brewing between mutants and the rest of humanity. I've been following his activities for some time. The man who attacked you is an associate of his called Sabertooth.
Wolverine: Sabertooth?
[looks at Storm]
Wolverine: Storm.
[looks at Xavier]
Wolverine: What do they call you? "Wheels"? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Students.

[to Storm]
Sabretooth: You owe me a scream.

[Logan confronts Magneto for the first time]
Magneto: You must be Wolverine. That remarkable metal doesn't run through your entire body, does it?
Logan: What do you want with me?
Magneto: My dear boy, whoever said I wanted you?
[Logan looks at Marie]

Rogue: I saved your life!
Logan: No, you didn't.

Rogue: The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks. I can still feel him inside my head. It's the same with you.
Wolverine: There's not many people that'll understand what you're going through. But I think this guy, Xavier, is one of them. He seems to genuinely want to help you. And that's a rare thing, for people like us.

Magneto: You homo sapiens and your guns.

[commenting on the X-Men uniforms]
Wolverine: You actually go outside in these things?
Cyclops: Well, what would you prefer? Yellow spandex?

Logan: What the hell are you doing?
Rogue: I'm sorry. I need a ride, I thought you could help me.
Logan: Get out.
Rogue: Where am I supposed to go?
Logan: I don't know.
Rogue: You don't know, or you don't care.
Logan: Pick one.

Storm: Help us! Fight with us!
Logan: Fight with you! Join the team? Be an X-Man? Who the hell do you think you are? You're a mutant. The whole world out there is full of people who hate and fear you and you're wasting your time trying to protect them? I've got better things to do!

Storm: Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning?
[pause]
Storm: The same thing that happens to everything else.

[Trapped inside the Statue of Liberty]
Cyclops: Storm, fry him!
Magneto: Oh yes! A bolt of lightening into a huge copper conductor. I thought you lived at a school?

Magneto: We are the future, Charles, not them. They no longer matter.

Mystique: You know, people like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child.

[to Dr. Jean Grey]
Wolverine: So, couldn't wait to get my shirt off again, huh?

[discussing Wolverine]
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: There are more powerful mutants out there. Why should this one be so important?
Cyclops: Maybe it's his way with people.
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: You don't like him?
Cyclops: How could you tell?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Well, I am psychic, you know.

Wolverine: Well, it certainly is a big, round room.

Wolverine: Felt like she killed me.
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: If she held on any longer, she could have.

Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: [narration] Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.

[In the ring, before the fight with Wolverine]
Emcee: Whatever you do, don't hit him in the balls.
Stu: You said "anything goes"!
Emcee: Anything goes, but he'll take it personal.

Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Where are you going?
Wolverine: To find her.
Storm: How?
Wolverine: The traditional way: look!

Logan: There's someone here.
Cyclops: Where?
Logan: I don't know. Keep your eye open.

[Preparing Senator Kelly for the mutation machine]
Senator Kelly: What are you going to do?
Magneto: Let's just say God works too slow.

Magneto: Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they will pass that foolish law or one just like it and come for you? And your children?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: It does indeed.
Magneto: What do you do, when you wake up to that?
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: I feel a great swell of pity for the poor fool who comes to that school... looking for trouble.

Toad: Don't you people ever die?

Magneto: Toad has a wicked tongue, Senator. Just like you.

Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Mankind is not evil, just... uninformed.
