Colossus (to his parents): Then come, we will talk of this with my parents... and so this professor wants to take me with him - to teach me how to deal with me... my mutant powers. Th-there is wisdom in his words, Papa - but I am happy here. Tell me, Papa - what should I do?
Mr. Rasputin: Do as your heart tells you, my son. It will not betray you.

Mr. Rasputin: Then it is right that you do.

Shadowcat: Give me a break! When did Professor Xavier's dream become such a nightmare? Maybe Magneto was right? Maybe we should learn to hate 'em back. Maybe it's time we accepted there really isn't room on this planet for us to share. Maybe it's time to do something about it.
