Royal Rights and Marital Customs
Rabbi Tuckman Excuse me, King. Why, if you like this guy so much, do you object to his marrying Maid Marian?

[hands the rabbi his sword]
Rabbi Tuckman Rabbi.
King Richard Whatever.
Rabbi Tuckman It's good to be the king.
[impressed]
King Richard Now... you may marry them!
[voice squeaking]
Rabbi Tuckman Thank you. Here's your knife.
King Richard Sword.
Rabbi Tuckman Whatever.

Xavier What do you want her for?
[speaking through Sabretooth]
Magneto Can't you read my mind? And what now, save the girl? You'll have to kill me Charles, and what would that accomplish? Let them pass that law and they'll have you in chains with a number burned into your forehead!
[tapping his helmet]
Xavier It won't be that way.
Magneto Then kill me and find out. No? Then release me.
Magneto Fine. Care to press your luck, Charles? I don't think I can stop them all. Still unwilling to make sacrifices. That's what makes you weak. Goodbye, Charles.
[magnetically fires a bullet and stops it just before it goes through a cop's head; Xavier reluctantly releases his control over Toad and Sabretooth]
Teaching History in Unlikely Conversations
Wolverine You did it.
Professor X Did what? Logan, don't you have a class to teach?
Wolverine A class to teach?
Professor X History.
Wolverine History. Actually, I could use some help with that.
Professor X Help with what?
Wolverine Well, pretty much everything after 1973. I think the history I know is a little different.
[The Professor is surprised.]
Professor X Welcome back.
[reads Wolverine's mind and understands what he went through]
Wolverine It's good to see you, Charles. It's good to see everyone.
Professor X Well, I had a promise to keep. You and I have a lot of catching up to do.
Wolverine Yeah.

Facing Doubts and Encouragement Among Friends
Hank McCoy I'll go check the generator.
Wolverine It's not the machinery, is it!
Charles I can't do this!
Logan Yes, you can!
Charles No, I can't!
Wolverine You're just a little rusty.
Charles You don't understand, it's not a question of being "rusty!" I can flip the switches, I can turn the knobs, but my power doesn't come from here , it comes from...here . And it's broken. I feel like one of my students. Helpless. It was a mistake coming down here , it was a mistake freeing Eric, this whole thing has been one bloody mistake! I'm sorry, Logan, but they sent back the wrong man!
[points to his head; points to his heart; Xavier starts to leave]
Wolverine You're right! Actually, it was supposed to be you. But I was the only one who could physically make the trip. And, uh, I don't even know how long I've got here. But I do know that a long time ago-well, actually, a long time from now-I was your most helpless student. And you unlocked my mind. You showed me what I was, you showed me what I could be. I don't know how to do that for you, you're right, I don't! But I think I know someone who might. Look...into my mind.
[Xavier stops, surprised to hear him admit this]
Charles Xavier You saw what I just did to Cerebro! You don't want me inside your head!
Wolverine There's no damage you can do that hasn't already been done, trust me!
[amused]
Charles : You poor, poor man.
[reads Logan's mind and see his torture at the hands of Weapon X, his fragmented memories, the death of Jean Grey, and his hard life.]
Wolverine Look past me.
Charles No, I don't want your suffering, I don't want your future!
Wolverine Look past my future! Look for your future. That's it. That's it...
Professor X Charles.
Charles Charles. Is this what becomes of us? Erik was right. Humanity does this to us.
[looks around to see the dire situation that both mutants and humanity face with the Sentinels in 2023.]
Professor X Not if we show them a better path.
Charles You still believe?
Professor X Just because someone stumbles, loses their way, it doesn't mean they're lost forever. Sometimes, we all need a little help.
Charles I'm not the man I was. I open my mind up, and it almost overwhelms me.
Professor X You're afraid. And Cerebro knows it.
Charles All those voices... So much...pain.
Professor X It's not their pain you're afraid of. It's yours, Charles. And as frightening as it may be, that pain will make you stronger. If you allow yourself to feel it, embrace it, it will make you more powerful than you ever imagined. It's the greatest gift we have: to bear their pain without breaking. And it's born from the most human power: hope. Please, Charles, we need you to hope again.
[shows Charles his school for Mutants, his own compassion, what he fights for which helps ease his past self's mind.; Xavier, stunned, breaks the psychic link]
Wolverine Find what you were looking for?
Hank McCoy The power's back on.
Charles Yes. Yes, it is.

Xavier's Unconventional Smoking Consequences
Professor Charles Xavier 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.
Logan You'd do that?
Xavier I'd have Jean braid your hair. Welcome back.
[amused, Logan extinguishes the cigar on his own palm]

The Challenge of Coexistence with Mutants
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.

Confrontation Between Xavier and Stryker
[''Wakes up in Stryker's chambers'']
Colonel William Stryker Please, Xavier, don't get up!
Colonel William Stryker I call it the neural inhibitor. It keeps you outta here. (he taps his forehead)
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 (enraged) 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.
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.
William Stryker But that's only where it begins.
Colonel William Stryker NO, Charles! My son is dead... just like the rest of you.

The Challenge of Power and Control
Professor Charles Xavier You have more power than you can imagine, Jean. The question is, will you control that power... or let it control you?
