  • Erik Lehnsherr: I've seen evil... and I'm looking at it now.
  • [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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Jean Grey: I came here looking for answers.
  • Erik Lehnsherr: You didn't come here looking for answers. You came here looking for permission.

  • Erik Lehnsherr: [hears a noise] She's coming.
  • [Jean lifts the train]

  • 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?
  • [Magneto confronts Jean, with a train in tow]
  • Erik Lehnsherr: I know whose blood that was!
