X-Men: The Last Stand Quotes
When a cure is found to treat mutations, lines are drawn amongst the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier, and the Brotherhood, a band of powerful mutants organized under Xavier's former ally, Magneto.
Logan: [talking about "The Cure"] Well, for all we know, the government helped cook this up.
Dr. Hank McCoy: I can assure you, the government had nothing to do with this.
Logan: I've heard that before.
Dr. Hank McCoy: My boy, I have been fighting for mutant rights since before you had claws.
Logan: [to the Professor] Did he just call me boy?

Ororo Munroe: We live in an age of darkness: a world full of fear, hate and intolerance. But in every age, there are those who fight against it. Charles Xavier was born into a world divided, a world he tried to heal... a mission he never saw accomplished. It seems it's the destiny of great men to see their goals unfulfilled. Charles was more than a leader, more than a teacher. He was a friend. When we were afraid, he gave us strength. When we were alone, he gave us a family. He may be gone, but his teachings live on through us, his students. Wherever we may go, we must carry on his vision. And that is a vision of a world united.

Mutant Theatre Organizer: This cure is voluntary. Nobody's is talking about extermination.
Eric Lensherr: No one ever talks about it. 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 has fallen, they come for you.
Mutant Theatre Organizer: [interrupting] Excuse me, but...
Eric Lensherr: It's only that you realize, while you were 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 my brotherhood and fight, or wait for the inevitable genocide? Who will you stand with - the humans... or us?

Raven Darkholme: My family tried to kill me, you pathetic meat sack.
Raven Darkholme: I don't answer to my slave name.

Eric Lensherr: I still don't know why *I'm* here. Couldn't you just make them say yes?
Prof. Charles Xavier: Yes, I could, but it's not my way. And I would expect you, of all people would understand my feelings about the misuse of power.
Eric Lensherr: Ah, "power corrupts" and all that. Yes, I know, Charles. When are you going to stop lecturing me?
Prof. Charles Xavier: When you start listening. And you're here because I need you.

Prof. Charles Xavier: [to Class] When an individual acquires great power, the use or misuse of that power is everything. Will it be used for the greater good? Or will it be used for personal or for destructive ends? Now this is a question we must all ask ourselves. Why? Because we are mutants.
Kitty Pryde: But Einstein said that ethics are an exclusive human concern, without any superhuman authority behind it.

Eric Lensherr: [to Phoenix] 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?"
[He holds up the cure gun]
Eric Lensherr: I can manipulate the metal in this, but you, you can do anything. ANYTHING you can think of.
[the Phoenix telekinetically breaks apart the gun, and steers its cure darts towards Magneto... ]
Eric Lensherr: [alarmed] That's enough, Jean... enough! ENOUGH!
Phoenix: [At the last moment, she stops] You sound just like him.
Eric Lensherr: Nooo, HE wanted to hold you back.
Phoenix: And what do you want?
Eric Lensherr: I want you as you are. As nature intended.

Prof. Charles Xavier: Since the dawn of existence, there have always been moments when the course of history shifted. Such a turning point is upon us now: the conflict between the better and worst angels of our very nature, whose outcome will change our world so greatly there will be no going back. I do not know if victory is possible. I only know that great sacrifice will be required. And because the fate of many will depend on a few, we must make the last stand.
Eric Lensherr: [Magneto captures Logan, who was sneaking around his camp and pulls Logan towards him] I know the smell of your adamantium from a mile away!
Logan: I didn't come here to fight you!
Eric Lensherr: Smart boy.
Logan: I came for Jean!
Eric Lensherr: You think I'm keeping her here against her will? She's here because she wants to be.

Scott Summers: What do you care?
Logan: Well, for starters, I had to cover your ass.
Scott Summers: I didn't ask you to.
Logan: No, you didn't. The Professor did. I was just passing through.
Scott Summers: So pass through, Logan.
[Scott turns away]
Logan: [Logan grabs his arm] Hey, look. I know how you feel.
Scott Summers: Don't.
Logan: When Jean died...
Scott Summers: I said don't.
Logan: Maybe it's time for us to move on.
Scott Summers: [Scott walks away, then turns back to Logan] Not everybody heals as fast as you, Logan.

Bobby Drake: You don't seem fine; you seem like you're avoiding me. I mean, something's wrong.
Marie: What's wrong is I can't touch my boyfriend without killing him. Other than that, I'm wonderful.
Bobby Drake: Hey, I don't think that's fair. Have I ever put any pressure on you?
Marie: You're a guy, Bobby. Your mind's only on one thing.
Marie: What's wrong is I can't touch my boyfriend without killing him. Other than that, I'm wonderful.
Bobby Drake: Hey, I don't think that's fair. Have I ever put any pressure on you?
Marie: You're a guy, Bobby. Your mind's only on one thing.
Bobby Drake: There's only six of us, Logan.
Logan: 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 they stood for will die with them. I'm not gonna let that happen. Are you?
[Bobby shakes his head]
Logan: Then we stand together... X-Men, all of us.
Logan: 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 they stood for will die with them. I'm not gonna let that happen. Are you?

Raven Darkholme: About time
Eric Lensherr: I've been busy. Did you find what you were looking for?

Ororo Munroe: 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?
Prof. Charles Xavier: We're not hiding. But we still have enemies out there. And I must protect our students. You know that.
Ororo Munroe: Yes, but we can't be students forever.
Prof. Charles Xavier: [chuckles] 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.
Ororo Munroe: But Scott's...
Prof. Charles Xavier: 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.
Ororo Munroe: There's something you're not telling us.
Prof. Charles Xavier: We're not hiding. But we still have enemies out there. And I must protect our students. You know that.

Trask: [about the upcoming raid on Magneto's camp] Two minutes to rendezvous, Mr. President. We have a satellite feed of Magneto's base of operations.

Eric Lensherr: [addressing the Brotherhood] They wish to cure us. But I say to you, WE are the cure! The cure for that infirm, imperfect condition called "Homo sapiens"! They have their weapons...
[gestures to the Phoenix]
Eric Lensherr: ... we have ours. We will strike with a vengeance and a fury that this world has never witnessed! And if any mutants stand in our way, we will use this poison against them! We shall go to Alcatraz Island, take control of the cure, and destroy its source! And then, nothing can stop us!
