Professor Charles Xavier
- Professor Charles Xavier: The mind is a fragile thing. Takes only the slightest tap to tip it in the wrong direction.
- 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.
- Scott Summers: Tell me how to fix this, Charles! Tell me what to do!
- Professor Charles Xavier: I don't know what to do!
- [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.
- 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: 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.
- 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: [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.
- 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.
- Professor Charles Xavier: We are all at war, at war with ourselves. And Raven had been waging that war for most of her life. I hope now she's found peace. Raven died doing what she did best: helping a friend, a friend in need. She is not gone. She lives on through me, through us, and through the spirit of the X-Men.
- Professor Charles Xavier: [to Hank] Raven had the right of it. Jean was never the villain. I was. I should never have lied to her. I was wrong. But this power inside of her, I never put that there. I would never do anything intentionally to hurt her. It isn't me and this is not Jean. We can still save her. She is still Jean inside.
- [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.
