17 quotesJudgment and Hypocrisy in Relationships
Matthew
What do you think, Alex? I mean you know the whole story.
Alex
It's easy to stand back and judge. You don't now anything about this woman.
Matthew
I know that she has no conscience, and no regard for anyone but herself. I mean, what else do I need to know?
Alex
You make yourself into such a victim. Nobody made you be with her. You can't even see what a hypocrite you're being.
Matthew
I'm being a hypocrite? How am I being a hypocrite?
Alex
Yes, you are!
Luke
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You, guys. Hey, relax.
Matthew
No, Luke. Hey, hold on. Alex, I'd like for you to explain to me on how I'm being a hypocrite.
Alex
Who's to say, this woman hasn't been in love with you for a really long time? And now that she found you again, she wasn't about to let you go twice.
Matthew
What?
Alex
Maybe... The first time she saw you, maybe she felt the way you did the first time you saw Lisa. You remember that. Love makes you do crazy things. Insane things. Things in a million years you never thought you'd see yourself do. But here you are doin it. Can't help it.

Lisa
Here.
[holds up a book]
Alex
Shakespeare.
Lisa
This is your big break.
Alex
That's Shakespeare. I can't do that. That's too hard.
Lisa
Haply, when I shall wed. That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry half my love with him, half my care and duty. Surely I shall never marry like my sisters to love my father all.
[Lisa begins to quote Shakespeare at the camera]
Lisa
So true, my lord. In life... Ah! I blew it. I'm sorry. That was bad.
Alex
No, that was amazing.
Lisa
You know, the thing with acting is, Alex, you just have to commit. Otherwise, you're just a phony.

Discussion of Eye Color and Heritage
Scarlet
Green and brown. Interesting iris variation. It's usually hereditary. Do one of your parents have the same?
[upon examining Andy's eyes]
Andy
My mother, she did.
Scarlet
How old are you, Andy?
Andy
Twelve.
Scarlet
I think that makes you the youngest person in the entire country. Well, your blood pressure is A-OK and you're negative on any serious disease or afflictions. I think you're okay to come in. Welcome back to Britain.

Facing Fear in the Face of Danger
Cassie
It's different. Being afraid that you won't make it back home. And then knowing that you won't.
Capa
Our survival depends on what we can salvage from Icarus I.
Cassie
No. We're gonna die out here. Like the other crew. I know it. So do you. Are you scared?
Capa
When a Stellar Bomb is triggered, very little will happen at first. And then a spark will pop into existence, and it will hang for an instant, hovering in space, and then, it will split into two, and those will split again, and again, and again. Detonation beyond all imagining – the big bang on a small scale. A new star born out of a dying one. I think it will be beautiful. No, I'm not scared.
Cassie
I am.

The Origins of Mutants and Belief Systems
Moira MacTaggert
Ever since the world found out about mutants in 73, there have been cults who see them as some kind of second coming or a sign of God. I was tracking one of them, they call themselves "Ashir En Sabah Nur". Named after an ancient being they believe to be the world's first.
Alex
World's first..." what?
Moira
The world's first mutant.
Alex
I thought mutants didn't evolve till this century.
Moira
That's the common theory, yes, but these guys believe that the first mutant was born tens-of-thousands of years ago and they believe he will rise again. They've been searching ancient sites all around the world for clues. These hieroglyphs describe the specific set of powers greater than any man can possess.
[shows the evidence]
Professor Charles Xavier
Do you think he lived in all that time?
Moira
Yes and no. They believe that he had the ability to transfer his consciousness from body to body and whenever he was close to death, he would just take on a new body. Some of these made with the bodies of mutants, enabling him to take their powers amassing various abilities over the years.
Charles
An all-powerful mutant?
Moira
Exactly. And wherever this being was, he always had four principle followers, disciples, protectors he would imbue with powers.
[shows the picture of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse]
Alex
Like "the four horsemen... of the Apocalypse?" He got that one from the Bible?
Moira
Or the Bible got it from him? And wherever he ruled, eventually it would end in disaster. Cataclysm, some kind of... "Apocalypse".
Charles
The end of the world.

Lisa
Matt, please don't think that I'm running away from you. I was so overwhelmed when you asked me to move in, I couldn't speak. My answer, of course, is yes. I love you, and can't wait to come home.
[in the letter]
Alex
I'm not going to apologize for what I've done. This is for me to live with now. Now you see me for who I am.
[in tears]
Matthew
Yes, I do.
