X-Men: Dark Phoenix Quotes

Raven: It's a simple extraction. We go into space, we get the astronauts, we bring them home. Any questions?

Scott Summers: Yeah, like a thousand.

Raven: We don't have time for a thousand.

Kurt Wagner: So we're going to space?

Raven: Yes, Kurt, we are going into space.

Peter Maximoff: We're doing space missions now. Cool.

Jean Grey: I came here looking for answers.

Erik Lehnsherr: You didn't come here looking for answers. You came here looking for permission.

Professor Charles Xavier: [in tje kitchen] Do you know, this is where I first met Raven. She was just this little girl, and she'd broken in, looking for food. I said she could stay, and that she'd never have to go hungry again. And then, I think I promised her a better life.

Hank McCoy: And then you took her it from her.

Professor Charles Xavier: I beg your pardon?

Hank McCoy: You heard me.

Professor Charles Xavier: Hank...

Hank McCoy: This is your fault, Charles. It's your fault she's dead.

Professor Charles Xavier: Come on, that's not fair.

Hank McCoy: Fair? No, don't talk about fair. You messed with the mind of an eight-year-old girl. You pushed down all that pain and anger...

Professor Charles Xavier: Jean?

Hank McCoy: ...where do you think it's gonna go?

Professor Charles Xavier: I did that to help her. What I do, I do to help all of them.

Hank McCoy: Please, come on, please. You still can't see what you did wrong?

Professor Charles Xavier: It's just...

Hank McCoy: No, you need to face this, Charles! You need to face it. Come on, admit it to me right now. Come on! Admit it! Charles, just admit you were wrong, please. You still can't.

Professor Charles Xavier: I really hope you feel better, Hank. I hope that railing on me five minutes after I put my foster sister in the grave has made you feel...

Hank McCoy: This isn't about me. You know what? I know what I did wrong, okay, Charles? She was gonna leave. Raven was gonna leave, and I talked her out of it. She saw what the rest of us didn't.

Professor Charles Xavier: And what was that?

Hank McCoy: This whole time, we've been trying to protect these kids from the world, when really, we should've been protecting them from you.

Raven: How do you know where we're going, Charles? If you can't track her, how do you know where she is?

Professor Charles Xavier: You know how.

Raven: Jesus Christ. What did you do?

Professor Charles Xavier: I protected her.

Raven: From the truth. There's another word for that.

Professor Charles Xavier: Ladies and gentlemen of NASA, this is the voice of Charles Xavier. Could somebody apprise me of the situation?

NASA Flight Director: We were picking up solar flares. We believe the heat shorted out their electricity. The lost control, communication, orientation, pretty much everything.

Professor Charles Xavier: Not to worry, Mission Control. Help is on the way.

Jean Grey: You shouldn't have come here.

Professor Charles Xavier: Why is that? We've only come to bring you home, Jean.

Jean Grey: I don't have a home. You made sure of that.

Professor Charles Xavier: Hello, old friend.

Erik Lehnsherr: Save the "old friend" shit, Charles. And stay out of my way.

Professor Charles Xavier: I'm sorry for what she did. But I can't let you go in there.

Erik Lehnsherr: You're always sorry, Charles. And there's always a speech. But nobody cares anymore.

Professor Charles Xavier: We do this here, now, they'll see us as monsters. Violent freaks, fighting on the streets of New York.

Erik Lehnsherr: What did I tell you?

Professor Charles Xavier: Damn it, man, your homeland will be gone. Everything you care about.

Erik Lehnsherr: Save it.

Scott Summers: If you touch her, I will fucking kill you.

Professor Charles Xavier: Don't do this, Erik. Killing Jean will not bring Raven back.

Erik Lehnsherr: The girl dies.

Scott Summers: Tell me how to fix this, Charles! Tell me what to do!

Professor Charles Xavier: I don't know what to do!

[the mutants are in a train]

Erik Lehnsherr: [hears a noise] She's coming.

[Jean lifts the train]

Vuk: They told you they could never understand you. And what they don't know understand, they fear. And what they fear...

Jean Grey: They seek to destroy.

[first lines]

Jean Grey: Who are we? Are we simply what others want us to be? Are destined to a fate beyond our control? Or can we evolve? Become... something more?

Jean Grey: I told you to stay away.

Raven: That's never gonna happen.

Jean Grey: Please. Stop.

Raven: Not until I know you're gonna be okay.

Jean Grey: Something's happening to me.

Raven: So come home. Let me take care of you.

Jean Grey: No, you can't. You can't. You don't... You don't know what it's like.

Raven: Then tell me.

Jean Grey: When it comes... people get hurt.

Raven: I'm not afraid of you, Jean. Look at me. Focus on my voice. We're going to get through this together. I'm not giving up on you, Jean. This is what family does. We take care of each other. You're my family, Jean. No matter what.

Jean Grey: STOP!

[hurls Raven away]

Scott Summers: Where's Jean? Kurt, where is she? Where is she?

Kurt Wagner: I'm sorry!

Young Jean Grey: Can you change the station?

Elaine Grey: When the song's over, honey?

Young Jean Grey: You said that two songs ago.

John Grey: You know this is a classic, right?

Elaine Grey: Okay, how about I make you a promise? When you're old enough to drive, you can listen to whatever music you want. Hmm? That a deal?

Professor Charles Xavier: What do you think?

Young Jean Grey: I can't stay here.

Professor Charles Xavier: Okay. Why not?

Young Jean Grey: It's too nice.

[sighs]

Young Jean Grey: I... I break things.

Professor Charles Xavier: Well, how does this sound: If you break something, anything, I can fix it.

Young Jean Grey: Not anything.

Professor Charles Xavier: I can help you. I can help you so that you never have to break things ever again.

Young Jean Grey: You think you can fix me too.

Professor Charles Xavier: No. No, because you are not broken.

Vuk: Your emotions make you weak.

Jean Grey: You're wrong. My emotions make me strong.

Vuk: I have no desire to fight you.

Erik Lehnsherr: I get that a lot.

Vuk: You wanted her dead.

Erik Lehnsherr: I had a change of heart.

[last lines]

[Erik meets Charles in Paris]

Erik Lehnsherr: Fancy a game?

Professor Charles Xavier: No, not today. Thank you.

Erik Lehnsherr: A long time ago, you saved my life. Then you offered me a home. I'd like to do the same for you. Just one game. For old times' sake.

[Charles considers, and eventually takes chess pieces]

Erik Lehnsherr: I'll go easy on you.

Professor Charles Xavier: No, you won't.

[deleted scene]

Professor Charles Xavier: [cries] I'm not as evolved as I thought I was.

[deleted scene]

Jean Grey: We used to think the Earth was the center of our solar system. It was only a few hundred years ago that we found out that the sun was the center. In the grand scheme of the galaxy, there's still so much we don't know about our place in it, and what may lay beyond. Which is why we need to keep learning. Because even though it feels like we're at the end, it's only the beginning.

[a student runs through the school]

Peter Maximoff: Hey! Slow down! Safety first!

Erik Lehnsherr: Whose blood is that?

Jean Grey: What?

Erik Lehnsherr: On your shirt. Whose blood is it? Look, I'm not Charles. I can't read your mind.

Jean Grey: You hurt people.

Erik Lehnsherr: It's been a while.

Jean Grey: But you did.

Erik Lehnsherr: Yes. Yes, I did. What about it?

Jean Grey: How did you stop?

Erik Lehnsherr: I've lived with vengeance my whole life. Ever since I was a child, I... lost everyone I ever loved, so... I hurt people. Yes, killed people. Killed whatever I thought would make the pain go away. It didn't, no matter how many souls I sent under. So I stopped.

Jean Grey: I don't know how to stop. I don't know what's happening to me. When I lose control... things happen, bad things... to people I love.

Erik Lehnsherr: Whose blood is that? Isn't that why you came here? What do you think I can do for you?

Jean Grey: I don't know.

Erik Lehnsherr: Yes, you do. Whose blood is that?

Vuk: [creates a hologram] What entered you in space was not a solar flare. And it was not an accident. It was drawn to you.

Jean Grey: What... what was it?

Vuk: A pure and unimaginably powerful cosmic force. We saw it enter you in space. We were there, Jean, following that force.

Jean Grey: Why?

Vuk: Because it's the spark that gave life to the universe... and the flame that consumed my world. What remains of my people searched the stars for that power, to control it, but it destroyed everything it ever came into contact with. Until you.

Jean Grey: Why me?

Vuk: Because you're stronger than you know. Because you're special, Jean. With my help, you could control what's inside you. Harness that power to create whole new worlds... turn dust into water... water into life. It's your destiny, Jean, to become something greater... to evolve into the greatest force in the galaxy. I told you they could never understand you. And what they don't understand, they fear. And what they fear...

Jean Grey: ...they seek to destroy.

[Jean stops her rampage after seeing into Charles' mind]

Professor Charles Xavier: I knew. I knew you were still in there.

Vuk: He just showed you your past. Follow me... into your future.

Jean Grey: No. I never asked for this, any of it.

Vuk: I traveled to the stars for a gift that you don't want.

Jean Grey: Then take it, please. Free me.

Vuk: I'll try.

[absorbs Jean's power]

Professor Charles Xavier: Stop it. You're going to kill her!

Vuk: Your lives mean nothing. Your world will be ours.

Professor Charles Xavier: You'd kill us all.

Vuk: [smiles] Yes.

[Magneto confronts Jean, with a train in tow]

Erik Lehnsherr: I know whose blood that was!
