X-Men: The Last Stand - Dialogue 8
Iceman
So what now? What do we do?
Beast
Professor Xavier started this school. Perhaps it's best that it end with him. We have to tell the students that they're going home.
Iceman
Most of us don't have anywhere to go. I can't believe this. I can't believe we're not gonna fight for this school.
Angel
I'm sorry. I know this is a bad time. I was told that this was a safe place for mutants.
Beast
It was, son.
Storm
And it still is. We'll find you a room. Hank, tell all the students the school stays open.
[stands up; turns to Beast]

Danger room session.

Hey, Scott, we were looking for you downstairs and you didn't show.

What do you care?

Well for starters, I had to cover your ass.

No, you didn't. The Professor did. I was just passing through.

The Limits of Power and Persuasion
Erik
I still don't know why I'm here. Couldn't you just make them say yes?

Yes, I could, but it's not my way. And I would expect you, of all people, would understand all my feelings about the misuse of power.
Erik
Ah, "power corrupts" and all that. Yes, I know, Charles. When are you going to stop lecturing me?
Charles
When you start listening.

The Conflict of Evolutionary Ideals
Magneto
Do you remember when we first met? Do you know what I saw when I looked at you? I saw the next stage of evolution both Charles and I dreamt of finding. And I thought to myself "Why would Charles want to turn this goddess into a mortal?" I can manipulate the metal in this, but you, you can ]. Anything you can think of.
[he shows the cure gun to Jean; [w:Omnipotence|do anything]
Magneto
Jean, enough. ENOUGH!

Standing Together Against the Odds
Logan / Wolverine
Yeah. We're outnumbered. I'm not gonna lie to you. But we lost Scott. We lost the Professor. If we don't fight now, everything we stood for will fight with them. I'm not gonna let that happen. Are you? Then we stand together... X-Men, all of us.

The Future of Mutants and Leadership
Storm
I don't understand. Magneto's a fugitive, we have a mutant in the cabinet, a President who understands us; why are we still hiding?
Professor
We're not hiding. But we still have enemies out there, and I must protect my students. You know that.
Storm
Yes, but we can't be students forever.
Professor
Storm, I hadn't thought of you as my student for years. In fact, I thought that perhaps you might take my place some day.
[chuckles]
Storm
But Scott–
[astonished]
Professor
Scott's a changed man. He took Jean's death so hard. Yes, things are better out there, but you of all people know how fast the weather can change.

The Struggle for Mutant and Human Coexistence
Professor Charles Xavier
Mutants and humans. They have long struggled to coexist. While some try to unite the world, others try to dominate it. Neither strategy has prevailed. But when conflicts reach an impasse, inevitably something happens to shift the balance forever.

Organizing for Mutant Rights and Recognition
Mutant Theatre Organizer
How should we, as mutants, respond? Here's what I think. This is about getting organized. Bringing our complaints to the right people. We need to put together a committee and talk to the government.
Mutant Theatre Organizer
They don't understand. They don't know what it means to be a mutant. We need to show them, educate them, let them know that we're here to stay.
Mutant Theatre Organizer
People, you must listen. They won't take us seriously–
Psylocke
They want to exterminate us!
Mutant Theatre Organizer
This cure is voluntary. Nobody's talking about extermination.–
Magneto
No one ever talks about it.
Magneto
They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day, when the air is still and the night is fallen, they come for you.
[both walk to the stage]
Mutant Theatre Organizer
Excuse me–
[interrupting]
Magneto
Only then do you realize that while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun. Make no mistake, my brothers, they will draw first blood. They will force their cure upon us. The only question is, will you join my brotherhood and fight or await the inevitable genocide. Who will you stand with, the humans or us?
