Tony: I- I didn't believe hard enough. Maria: Loving is enough. Tony: Not here. They won't let us be. Maria: Then we'll run away. Tony: Yeah, we can. Maria: Yes. Tony: We will... Maria: [singing] Hold my hand and we are halfway there, hold my hand an...
Dr. Manhattan: She was pregnant. And you gunned her down. Edward Blake: That's right. And you know what, you watched me. You could've turned the gun into steam, the bullets into mercury, the bottle into goddamned snowflakes but you didn't, did you? Y...
Dan Dreiberg: [referring to the exit tunnel] There's a maintenance hatch that will let you out two blocks north. Rorschach: I remember. I used to come here often, back when we were partners. Dan Dreiberg: Those were good times, huh Rorschach? What ha...
Edward Blake: Justice is coming to all of us, no matter what the fuck we do. You know, mankind's been trying to kill each other off since the beginning of time. Now, we finally have the power to finish the job. Ain't nothing gonna matter once those n...
[last lines] Erik Lehnsherr: I know we've had our differences. Emma Frost: Where's your telepath friend? Erik Lehnsherr: Gone. Left a bit of a gap in my life, if I'm to be honest. I was rather hoping you would fill it. Join us. Emma Frost: Erik, I be...
Erik Lehnsherr: [to Mystique] If you're using half your concentration to look normal, then you're only half paying attention to whatever else you're doing. [pause] Erik Lehnsherr: Just pointing out something that could save your life. Erik Lehnsherr:...
Erik Lehnsherr: I didn't kill the President. Charles Xavier: The bullet curved, Erik. Erik Lehnsherr: I was trying to save him. Charles Xavier: But why would you do that? Erik Lehnsherr: Because he was one of us. [Charles looks surprised] Erik Lehnsh...
Logan: In the beginning the Sentinels were just targeting mutants. Then they began to identify the genetics in non-mutants who'd eventually have mutant children or grandchildren, and they started targeting everyone. Many of the humans tried to help u...
[deleted scene] Charles Xavier: [to Raven] You'd be giving Trask exactly what he wants, a reason for humanity to fear and hate us... Raven: You think they need a reason? [turns blue] Raven: Do you honestly think they'll ever be able to see me like th...
Bolivar Trask: [takes out a folder at Congress] This was acquired from our friends in the CIA. It's a dissertation written by a mutant at Oxford University and I quote: "To Homo Neanderthalensus, his mutant cousin Homo Sapiens, which is us, was an ab...
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: With such a specimen for a body, all we need now is an equally magnificant brain. You know what to do? Igor: I have a pretty good idea. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pointing to Igor's hump] Good man. Didn't you, didn't you...
People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortc...
I've always resented the force of attraction that traps me here on Planet Earth. It makes me feel like a bug stuck to a piece of duct tape. Ever since my teenage years, when I used to read a lot of science fiction and took it much too seriously, I've...
Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, ...
I do love science fiction, but it's not really a genre unto itself; it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done, I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another, so any genre that's made to mix with others is li...
To me, writing is a matter of voice. I think like that. The expression I sometimes use to myself is 'actual song.' That what I do is somewhere on the line between speaking to you as I am now and actual song. And the things I love when I say one of th...
From my music training, I knew that, some Spanish rhythms apart, 5/4 is a time signature used only in the modern era. Holst's Mars from the Planets is 5/4. But if you speak lines of poetry in that pattern you just end up hitting the off-beats. It's o...
Major Henry West: This is what I've seen in the four weeks since infection. People killing people. Which is much what I saw in the four weeks before infection, and the four weeks before that, and before that, and as far back as I care to remember. Pe...
[US income tax returns are due in 2 days, but Swigert is 200,000 miles away] Jack Swigert: Uh, well, if anyone from the, uh, from the IRS is watching, I... forgot to file my, my, my 1040 return. Um, I meant to do it today, but, uh... Sy Liebergot: [b...
Benji: [about his Dad] Does he have a boyfriend at the moment? Felicia: No, no he doesn't. Benji: Neither does Mum. She used to have a girlfriend, but she got over her. Benji: [Benji pauses, then turns and looks at Felicia] You want to come play in m...
[Regarding the t-shirt picture] Russell Hammond: Can we just skip the vibe, and go straight to us laughing about this? Jeff Bebe: Yeah, okay. Russell Hammond: Because I can see by your face you want to get into it. Jeff Bebe: How can you tell? I'm ju...
