Quotes 

• Sentinels : Surrender, mutants.

  Cyclops : [clicks on his communicator]  Give 'em the forecast.

  Sentinels : Omega-level threat detected.

  [Lightning strikes the sand, turning it into glass.] 

  Storm : Ancient sands, heed my command and reclaim these relics of hatred.

  [Storm destroys the Sentinels with a tornado of glass] 

• [after the Friends of Humanity have Cyclops tied up] 

  Carl Denti : Take his visor before he starts up again.

  Cyclops : No! Don't! I surrender!

  [the FoH remove Cyclops' visor] 

  Cyclops : Not!

  [Cyclops opens his eyes and destroys the entire FoH compound with his optic blast] 

• [the X-Men rush to Professor Xavier's office and see Magneto, who places the old portrait of the team back on the wall with his magnetic power] 

  Magneto : Charles Xavier was the finest man I knew. Despite our differences, he never ceased to have faith in our friendship, nor forgive my many failings. Perhaps that is why the old fool has done this.

  Cyclops : Magneto, what are you doing in our home?

  Magneto : Your home? I beg to differ, Cyclops.

  [Magneto hands a book to Cyclops] 

  Magneto : The last will and testament of Charles Francis Xavier. As you all will see, his fortune, his school, everything he built, everything he fought for, now belongs to me, my X-Men.

• Bishop : [about Gyrich]  I can't believe this fool nearly cost us the whole future.

  Cyclops : He still cost us enough.

• Roberto Da Costa : [seeing Cyclops]  Meu Deus. Good guy or bad guy?

  Cyclops : Name's Cyclops. Definitely the good guy.

• Cyclops : Logan, take that nose of yours and find the kid. And take Jubilee. Actually, all of you could stand to act more like X-Men. Go with them.

  Rogue : Hey now! We didn't do a danged thing!

  Cyclops : Took the words right out of my mouth.

• Wolverine : Jean may dig the Boy Scout routine, Summers, but I don't much go in for bein' bossed around.

  Cyclops : Cry me a river, Wolverine.

• Henry Gyrich : Why would I know where Trask is?

  Storm : You helped fund his Sentinel program when you worked for the Defense Department.

  Cyclops : Gyrich, you're serving 25 years. You talk and I get it down to 10.

  Henry Gyrich : [whistles]  You mutants are moving up, making friends in high places. Though it's got to hurt, offering that deal to me. Those Sentinel upgrades really threw you.

  Storm : We merely hoped some humans had evolved beyond the past.

  Henry Gyrich : [scoffs]  Did you honestly think we'd roll over and let mutants take over the planet? That we wouldn't fight back?

  Storm : Yet your cruelty has only made humanity more sympathetic to our cause.

  Henry Gyrich : Oh, did it? No, you're in vogue, Storm. A fad. "Look at my mutant friend." But under all that fashionable sympathy, normal people know the more room we make for your kind, the less we leave for ours. So, we might wear tolerance on our sleeves, but we know the naked truth. Tolerance is extinction.

• Cyclops : Ten years, Gyrich. Yours to win or lose.

  Henry Gyrich : I won the day I shot the man you freak shows look up to. And you get an "A" for effort, Mr. Summers, but we both know you're no Charles Xavier.

  Cyclops : You're right. I'm not Charles Xavier. He'd reason with you. Be patient. He'd do everything in his power to save you.

  Henry Gyrich : Save me? From what, you?

  Cyclops : No. But have you met my wife?

• Cyclops : The Professor loved to say, "Trust happens when actions meet words."
