Now, look, this is just the beginning, Amy. We've got to make 120 nautical miles by sundown, fly across Lake Ontario, cross an international boundary without a permit carrying stolen goods, without filing a flight plan, without any official approval, four days behind schedule. We're on the edge, my dear.

Reflection on Tolerance and Power
Magneto
Magnificent, isn't she?
Rogue
I've seen it.
Magneto
I first saw her in 1949. America was going to be the land of tolerance. Of peace.
Rogue
Are you gonna kill me?
Magneto
Yes.
[pause]
Rogue
Why?
Magneto
Because there is no land of tolerance. There is no peace. Not here, nor anywhere else. Women, children, whole families ] simply because they were born different from those in power. Well, after tonight, the world's powerful will be just like us. They will return home as brothers. As mutants. Our cause will be theirs. Your sacrifice will mean our survival. I'll understand if that comes as small consolation.

The Storm's Impact on Family and Silence
Flora McGrath
One day when my mother and father were singing together in the forest, a great storm blew up out of nowhere. But so passionate was their singing that they did not notice, nor did they stop as the rain began to fall, and when their voices rose for the final bars of the duet a great bolt of lighting came out of the sky and struck my father so that he lit up like a torch. And at the same moment my father was struck dead my mother was struck dumb! She never spoke another word.

Janet
I ate some bad Mexican, and it was a jeep.
Danielle
Last year was San Diego. We dressed as sailors and ended up with sailors.
Janet

Maria
So what, she had a nice ass, it all tastes the same to me anyway.
