[edit]

Magneto

"Ah, Mister Stryker! Come to see that American tax dollars are keeping me comfortable?"
"You should have killed me when you had the chance!"
"Too much iron in your blood."
"Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman. Especially one who's interested in you."
"When will these people learn how to fly?"
"You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different."
"What are you planning to do - scratch it with your claws?"
"This is one lovers' quarrel we can't get involved in, my dear."
[To Rogue] "We love what you've done with your hair."

[edit]

Professor Charles Xavier

"The next time you feel like showing off - don't."
"You see, Logan? We're not as alone as you think."
"It is an historical fact. Sharing has never been humanity's defining attribute."
[as Wolverine brings his lit cigar into the Cerebro chamber] "Logan, my tolerance for your smoking in the Mansion not withstanding, continue smoking that in here and you will spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six year old girl."

[edit]

Wolverine

"You picked the wrong house, Bub."
"You wanna shoot me? SHOOT ME!"
[in reaction to Deathstrike extending her claws] "Holy shit."

[edit]

Colonel William Stryker

"I was piloting black-ops missions in the jungles of North Vietnam when you were suckin' on your mama's tit at Woodstock, Kelly, so don't lecture me about war. This already is a war."
"I didn't realize Xavier was taking in animals... even animals as unique as you."
"The one thing I know better than anyone is my own work. Seal the room. Shoot it."
" I used to think you were one of a kind... I was wrong."
"Sergeant, kill anyone who approaches... even if it's me."
"You were an animal then and you're an animal now. I just gave you claws."

Others

"Bobby, have you tried... not being a mutant?" ~ Mrs. Drake
"You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about on the news? I'm the worst one." ~ Pyro
"My name is Kurt Wagner, but in the Munich circus I was known as the Incredible Nightcrawler." ~ Nightcrawler (several different times)

Dialogue

Colonel Stryker: I have found evidence of a mutant training facility in upstate New York.

Senator Kelly: This facility is a school.

Stryker: Sure it is. (he sets photos on the president's desk)

President McKenna: What the hell is that?

Stryker: A jet.

President: What kind of jet?

Stryker: We don't know — but it comes up out of the basketball court.

Professor 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.

Wolverine: You'd do that?

Professor Xavier: I'd have Jean braid your hair.

Nightcrawler: You and Miss Grey are schoolteachers?

Storm: Yes. At a school for people like us, where we can be safe.

Nightcrawler: Safe from what?

Storm: Everyone else.

Nightcrawler: You know, outside of the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I did not hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.

Storm: Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago.

Nightcrawler: Someone so beautiful should not be so angry.

Storm: Sometimes anger can help you survive.

Nightcrawler: So can faith.

[Professor Xavier learns that Colonel Stryker has been interrogating Magneto in prison.]

Prof. Xavier: Eric, what have you done?

Magneto: I'm sorry, Charles. I couldn't help it.

Xavier: What have you told Stryker?

Magneto: Everything.

Mr. Drake: What exactly are you a professor of, Mr. Logan?

Wolverine: Art.

[Bobby Drake has just told his family that he's a mutant.]

Mrs. Drake: This is all my fault.

Pyro: Actually, they've discovered that males are the ones who carry the mutant gene and pass it on. So — it's his fault. [points at Mr. Drake.]

[The problem with built-in metal claws.]

Police Officer: Drop the knives and put your hands in the air. I said, drop the knives!

Wolverine: This is just a misunderstanding —

Police Officer: Put the knives DOWN!

Wolverine: I can't.

Jean Grey: So who is this Stryker, anyway?

Magneto: He's a military scientist. He spent his whole life trying to solve the 'mutant problem'. If you want a more intimate perspective, why don't you ask Wolverine? [to Wolverine] You don't remember, do you? William Stryker: the only other man I know who can manipulate adamantium. The metal on your bones. It carries his signature.

Wolverine: But the Professor —

Magneto: The Professor trusted you were smart enough to discover this on your own. He gives you more credit than I do.

Jean Grey: Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, Logan. They don't take him home. They marry the good guy.

Wolverine: I could be the good guy.

Jean Grey: The good guy sticks around.

Nightcrawler: Excuse me. They say you can imitate anyone. Even their voice.

Mystique [in Nightcrawler's voice]: Even their voice.

Nightcrawler: Then why not stay in disguise all the time? You know — look like everyone else?

Mystique: Because we shouldn't have to.

[Making out with a person he thinks is Jean Grey, Wolverine finds scars from the wound he gave Mystique in the first film.]

Mystique: No one's ever left a scar quite like you.

Wolverine: What do you want, an apology?

Mystique: You know what I want. The question is, what do you want? [She shape-shifts into several different women; Wolverine pushes her away and she assumes the form of Stryker.] What do you really want?

Wolverine: I want you to get out.

Pyro: So, they say you're the bad guy.

Magneto: Is that what they say?

Pyro: That's a dorky-looking helmet. What's it for?

Magneto: That "dorky-looking helmet" is the only thing that's gonna protect me from the real bad guys. What's your name?

Pyro: John.

Magneto: What's your real name, John?

Pyro: Pyro. [he juggles a small fireball.]

Magneto: That's quite a talent you have there, Pyro.

Pyro: I can only manipulate the fire. I can't create it.

Magneto: You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.

[Mystique has bypassed the security at Stryker's secret base.]
