• Vuk : [explaining the Phoenix Force to Jean]  That power... destroyed everything it came into contact with.

• [Jean stops her rampage after seeing into Charles' mind]

• Vuk : [creates a hologram]  What entered you in space was not a solar flare. And it was not an accident. It was drawn to you.

  Jean Grey : What... what was it?

  Vuk : A pure and unimaginably powerful cosmic force. We saw it enter you in space. We were there, Jean, following that force.

  Jean Grey : Why?

  Vuk : Because it's the spark that gave life to the universe... and the flame that consumed my world. What remains of my people searched the stars for that power, to control it, but it destroyed everything it ever came into contact with. Until you.

  Jean Grey : Why me?

  Vuk : Because you're stronger than you know. Because you're special, Jean. With my help, you could control what's inside you. Harness that power to create whole new worlds... turn dust into water... water into life. It's your destiny, Jean, to become something greater... to evolve into the greatest force in the galaxy. I told you they could never understand you. And what they don't understand, they fear. And what they fear...

  Jean Grey : ...they seek to destroy.
