Best Quotes


 

Danielle Moonstar: There’s an old Native American proverb that says, “Inside every person, there are two bears, forever locked in combat for your soul. One bear is all things good. Compassion, love, trust. The other is all things evil. Fear, shame, and self-destruction.”


 

Danielle Moonstar: Where am I? Where is my family?
Dr. Reyes: I know you’re scared, but you’re safe now.


 

[after finding out that she’s the sole survivor of a tornado hitting her reservation]
Danielle Moonstar: No, no. It was growling! Something was chasing us!
Dr. Reyes: What? Sometimes trauma makes us remember things that aren’t real.


 

Danielle Moonstar: Why didn’t I just die with them? Why me?
Dr. Reyes: Survivor’s guilt is a common reaction to trauma. We look for reasons. Most of the time, we find none. But the reason you survived is because you’re a very uncommon girl. Your reservation was wiped off the face of the earth. But you made it out with barely a scratch.


 

Dr. Reyes: Do you know what mutants are? Mutation most often occurs in puberty. You might spend the first thirteen years of your life relatively normal. Then, just like that, you come of age and discover your true nature.
Danielle Moonstar: What’s my true nature?
Dr. Reyes: We’ll have to figure that out together.


 

Danielle Moonstar: And how do you know I’m a mutant?
Dr. Reyes: The man I work for has a way of recognizing new mutants the moment their condition reveals itself. That’s how we discovered you and your fellow patients. You’re not alone, Dani.


 

Dr. Reyes: This is a facility for young mutants like yourself. Teens who need some extra care before they can go on to live healthy adult lives.


 

Danielle Moonstar: How long do I have to stay here?
Dr. Reyes: Until we decide you’re not a danger.
Danielle Moonstar: Danger to who?
Dr. Reyes: Yourself.


 

[in their group meeting]
Dr. Reyes: Yesterday, I asked you to think about the first time your mutation manifested. Would anyone like to share? Sam? Illyana? Roberto? Rahne? Look, we can’t help each other
unless we talk to each other. I’ve said this a hundred times. This program can’t help you
if you refuse to participate.


 

Rahne Sinclair: I was thirteen. I remember running through the woods.
Dr. Reyes: How did you feel?
Rahne Sinclair: Free. Like the most free I’d felt my whole life. But guilty too.
Dr. Reyes: Why guilty?
Rahne Sinclair: Because I knew it was bad. I went to Reverend Craig, to see if he could pray it out of me. He asked me to show him, so I changed.
Dr. Reyes: And what did Reverend Craig do?
Rahne Sinclair: Beat me about half to death. Said I was a witch, that I was going to hell.


 

Dr. Reyes: Would anyone else like to share their first time?
Illyana Rasputin: New girl. How f***ed up are you?
Dr. Reyes: Illyana.
Roberto da Costa: Drugs, I bet. Or a nympho, maybe. Hopefully.
Dr. Reyes: Keep behaving exactly like you are right now, and we can all just spend the day in solitary. I want all of you to think very carefully about how you’d like to use your time here. And how long you want that time to be.


 

Illyana Rasputin: [to Dani] This isn’t a hospital, Pocahontas. It’s a cage. And now you’re trapped in it forever. Man, I really should have warned you.


 

[as Dani is about to throw herself off the clock tower]
Rahne Sinclair: Wow, this is really high up. A fall from here would mess you up.
Danielle Moonstar: It would kill me. Instantly. I wouldn’t feel a thing.
Rahne Sinclair: I want to get out of here too, but not like this.
Danielle Moonstar: My home is gone. My dad’s dead.
Rahne Sinclair: Where I’m from, we believe suicides go straight to hell. Always kind of scared me out of giving it a go.


 

Danielle Moonstar: I don’t want to be here. I want to be with my family.
Rahne Sinclair: If they’re gone, and you’re here, maybe it’s for a reason. Maybe it’s not time to be with them just yet.
Danielle Moonstar: But I’m all alone.
Rahne Sinclair: There’s two people up here. You calling me a nobody? Please. It’s going to get better. I promise. Let’s live a little longer, Dani Moonstar.


 

[referring to Sam]
Danielle Moonstar: Holy s**t, I thought he just exploded.
Rahne Sinclair: No. That’s his thing. He can blast off. Zero to a hundred like a cannonball. Not so good at landing though.
Danielle Moonstar: Is this like practice?
Rahne Sinclair: I don’t know. Sometimes it seems like he’s out here just trying to hurt himself.


 

[referring to Roberto]
Danielle Moonstar: What’s his power?
Rahne Sinclair: He won’t tell, but he’s got something. Parents sent him here to be cured.
Danielle Moonstar: Is there a cure for being an a**hole? Maybe he’s just the crazy one.
Rahne Sinclair: No. That spot’s taken.


 

Rahne Sinclair: Well, I really enjoyed spending the day with you, Dani, but I should go. We’re not supposed to be in each other’s rooms, and…
Danielle Moonstar: Why is she always watching us?
Rahne Sinclair: For our own good. She means well. She’s trying to help us. If you follow the treatment, you’ll get out of here, Dani. Probably before the rest of us cuckoos.


 

Danielle Moonstar: Rahne. Thank you for helping me.
Rahne Sinclair: What do I know? Maybe we both should have jumped.


 

[referring to the W marked etched onto Rahne’s back]
Danielle Moonstar: Wow. That’s some serious body art. Tattoo wasn’t painful enough?
Rahne Sinclair: It wasn’t my idea.
Danielle Moonstar: What’s it stand for?
Rahne Sinclair: I’m sorry. I don’t want to talk about it.


 

Illyana Rasputin: Hey, Standing Rock. You want a buffalo wing? You people love buffalo, don’t you?
Sam Guthrie: Jeez, Illya, will you just leave her alone?
Danielle Moonstar: No. It’s okay. Standing Rock. That’s a good one. More original than Pocahontas. That was huge in fifth grade.


 

Danielle Moonstar: You don’t scare me. My dad told me about b**ches like you.
Illyana Rasputin: Oh. Well, here. Why don’t you show us on the puppet where daddy touched you?
[Dani grabs Illyana’s puppet, Lockheed, out of her hand]
Illyana Rasputin: Lockheed!
Sam Guthrie: Hey, guys, come on!
Danielle Moonstar: You keep my father’s name out of your mouth, b**ch!


 

Danielle Moonstar: You don’t know anything about me.
Illyana Rasputin: Do you know anything? Sixteen years-old and doesn’t even know her power. Seems like that mutant period should’ve kicked in by now.
Rahne Sinclair: Leave her alone.
Illyana Rasputin: I’m helping her. This is therapy!


 

Dr. Reyes: You know the rules. No powers in here. And definitely no fighting.
Illyana Rasputin: Sorry, Doctor. I thought maybe Dani was invincible. Just wanted to see if I was right.


 

Danielle Moonstar: What’s happening to me?


 

Dr. Reyes: [to Dani] You’re clearly manifesting something, but we need to do more tests to find out what it is. It’s okay. I’m a doctor. Actually, I come from a family of doctors. My mother was a vet. A lot of pets came in with rattlesnake bites.


 

Dr. Reyes: Did you know baby rattlesnakes are more dangerous than adult ones? They haven’t learned how to control how much venom they secrete. Even the mutants we call heroes today, when they first got their powers, chances are they hurt someone. That’s why new mutants are dangerous. And they need to be…
Danielle Moonstar: Locked up?
Dr. Reyes: Sequestered from average humans, for their safety, and ours.


 

Dr. Reyes: [to Dani] It’s important we find out exactly what your power is, so we can help you control it.


 

[chanting to herself]
Rahne Sinclair: Demons can’t come in churches.


 

Danielle Moonstar: Where are you guys going?
Roberto da Costa: Reyes is asleep, so we’re going up to the…
Illyana Rasputin: To the, “Never mind. You’re not invited.”
Sam Guthrie: Come on, Illy. Come on, we’ll show you.
Illyana Rasputin: Whatever.


 

Illyana Rasputin: Let’s play a little game.

[as Illyana has him hooked up to the polygraph device]
Roberto da Costa: Dare.
Illyana Rasputin: You can’t say dare.
Roberto da Costa: Fine. Jesus. Truth.
Sam Guthrie: How many girls have you been with?
Roberto da Costa: Like I can even remember.
Illyana Rasputin: Rahne?
[Rahne shakes her head as the polygraph spikes]
Illyana Rasputin: He’s lying. It’s a lie detector. We know.
Roberto da Costa: Fine. Three.
Sam Guthrie: That’s not bad.
[the polygraph spikes again]
Illyana Rasputin: No, look. I told you.
Sam Guthrie: What?
Danielle Moonstar: Why not?
Roberto da Costa: I get too hot.
[Sam laughs]
Roberto da Costa: Yeah, you think it’s funny? Your turn, a**hole.


 

Sam Guthrie: I belong here, so.
Danielle Moonstar: I’m not sure any of us belong here.
Sam Guthrie: I think I do.
Danielle Moonstar: Why?


 

Illyana Rasputin: It’s your turn.
Danielle Moonstar: Aren’t you going to hook me up?
Illyana Rasputin: I don’t need a polygraph to tell if you’re lying. What’s your power?
Danielle Moonstar: I don’t know.


 

[referring to Dani’s necklace]
Illyana Rasputin: What’s with the stupid bear?
Danielle Moonstar: Same as Sam. My dad made it for me.
Rahne Sinclair: Why?
Danielle Moonstar: When I was little, I was really afraid of the dark. Like so afraid, it was impossible to get me to go to bed. So my dad, he told me a legend of a bear. A demon bear that lives inside of us and feeds off of our fear.
Roberto da Costa: That’ll help a kid sleep.
Rahne Sinclair: Shut up, Berto.


 

Danielle Moonstar: So when you’re born, the bear is tiny and weak. And the older you get, the more afraid we become, the bigger and the stronger the bear gets. My dad, he made this for me so that I would always remember how small it was when I was born. So that I would remember to never be afraid.


 

Danielle Moonstar: Why are you here?
Illyana Rasputin: Because I killed eighteen men. One by one. With my sword. And Lockheed.
Danielle Moonstar: You’re lying.
Sam Guthrie: No, she’s not.
Illyana Rasputin: You don’t believe me? I’m the most powerful mutant here.


 

Sam Guthrie: What if we don’t want to move on to your boss’s facility? What if I just want to go home?
Dr. Reyes: Sam, you remember what happened. You think they stopped looking for you? If you weren’t here, you’d be in prison, or worse.
Sam Guthrie: It was an accident.
Dr. Reyes: You think anyone outside this room would believe that?
Danielle Moonstar: I would. Sam is a good guy.
Sam Guthrie: Even if I’m not, do I really have to spend my whole life in here for one mistake?
Dr. Reyes: Once you’re better…
Sam Guthrie: When am I better?


 

Dr. Reyes: What’s gotten into you, Sam?
Sam Guthrie: Look, something’s not right! I’m seeing things. Terrible nightmares. When will I ever get better?
Dr. Reyes: You’re better when I say so.
Sam Guthrie: No. Forget it. It’s bulls**t. You’re not listening to me.


 

[referring to Reyes]
Danielle Moonstar: Who is this superior she’s always talking about?
Roberto da Costa: Isn’t it obvious? You know who the X-Men are, right?
Danielle Moonstar: Yeah. It’s just, why would we want to be X-Men?
Roberto da Costa: Right. I ain’t wearing no suit and fighting people. I’m rich.
Sam Guthrie: What, they pay you to be X-Men now?
Rahne Sinclair: I wouldn’t mind being an X-Man.
Illyana Rasputin: And why would they need a dog?


 

Roberto da Costa: You know how much trouble we’re going to get in for this?
Sam Guthrie: What’s she going to do? Kick us out? I don’t want to be here anyway.
Roberto da Costa: Yeah. But as long as Dr. Phil has her magic bubble over the grounds, you don’t have a choice.
Sam Guthrie: Yeah. I never did have a choice.
Roberto da Costa: What do you mean?


 

[referring to the mines he worked at with his dad]
Sam Guthrie: I killed my dad. Most of his crew. I just couldn’t forgive myself.
Roberto da Costa: I’m sorry, man. I didn’t…
Sam Guthrie: I just kept thinking, I would do anything to change that.


 

[looking up at the sky through their dome]
Rahne Sinclair: Isn’t that beautiful?
Danielle Moonstar: Yeah. It is. It’s our beautiful cage. Well, that’s what my father called it.
Rahne Sinclair: You had a dome over your reservation?
Danielle Moonstar: No. He meant our bodies. Like how we’re trapped in them. And at death, our souls are free. Free to be with the ones you love. Sounds pretty nice, honestly.


 

Rahne Sinclair: It doesn’t feel like it’s real.
Danielle Moonstar: Sometimes it doesn’t feel like you’re real.
Rahne Sinclair: What do you mean?
Danielle Moonstar: It’s just that you’re just so nice to me. Too nice. Sometimes I feel like I made you up.
Rahne Sinclair: You didn’t make me up. I promise you, I’m real.


 

[after they’ve kissed]
Danielle Moonstar: Your eyes.
Rahne Sinclair: Oh. I’m sorry.
Danielle Moonstar: Don’t. They’re beautiful.


 

Rahne Sinclair: I’ve never done this before.
Danielle Moonstar: With a girl?
Rahne Sinclair: With anyone.


 

[Roberto pushes Illyana away as they’re kissing]
Illyana Rasputin: What’s wrong?
Roberto da Costa: I can’t. I just need a second to cool down.
Illyana Rasputin: Isn’t this what you want?
Roberto da Costa: Yeah. It’s, I can’t get too hot. If I get too hot, I…
Illyana Rasputin: You can tell me.
Roberto da Costa: I was with my girlfriend. I tried to hold her, but I burned her with my… I killed her with my hands. I burned her.
Illyana Rasputin: Hey. Look at me. You can’t burn me. You won’t hurt me. But you do need to catch me again.


 

Dr. Reyes: Give me my phone back. I am in charge here.
Roberto da Costa: You’re not in charge of s**t. Did you not see what happened? Huh? Illyana tried to kill me!
Illyana Rasputin: It wasn’t me.
Dr. Reyes: Roberto, Illyana was in her room.
Roberto da Costa: Bulls**t!


 

Roberto da Costa: [to Reyes] Did you see what I saw? Huh? We’re trapped in here with demons, and you want us to stay trapped!


 

Illyana Rasputin: [to Reyes] You know, I’ve known men like you. Men who like to keep children trapped in cages. I’ve known them, and I’ve killed them.


 

[as Reyes locks her in solitary confinement]
Illyana Rasputin: Let me out of here! Dammit! I am not dying in here! Do you understand me? Let me out!


 

Dr. Reyes: What’s the last thing you remember before coming here?
Danielle Moonstar: My dad woke me up. He said we had to run. And everything was shaking.
Dr. Reyes: What were you running from?
Danielle Moonstar: He said it was a tornado.
Dr. Reyes: We both know it wasn’t a tornado, Dani. What were you running from?
Danielle Moonstar: It was snowing.
Dr. Reyes: In the summertime?
Danielle Moonstar: It brings the snow.
Dr. Reyes: What does?
Danielle Moonstar: The demon bear.


 

Dr. Reyes: Can you control it?
Danielle Moonstar: Nobody can.


 

[referring to the W etched into Rahne neck]
Roberto da Costa: Is that real? That’s real. See, I told you. This s**t’s real!
Danielle Moonstar: What happened to her?!
Illyana Rasputin: You happened. It’s Dani. It’s all Dani.


 

Danielle Moonstar: I didn’t do anything.
Illyana Rasputin: You brought this evil here! I now know your power, new girl.
Let me show you mine.
Dr. Reyes: Illyana, no powers!


 

Illyana Rasputin: [referring to Dani] She’s in our heads. She’ll kill us all.


 

Danielle Moonstar: Something’s happening to me, and I can’t control it.


 

Danielle Moonstar: That place you took me. Was it hell?
Illyana Rasputin: Limbo. It’s a place we made up.
Danielle Moonstar: “We”?
Illyana Rasputin: Me and Lockheed.


 

Danielle Moonstar: I brought someone for you.
[she gives Illyana her puppet, Lockheed]
Illyana Rasputin: At first, it was just our special place. We went there in our minds whenever something bad was about to happen. But we went there so much, stayed there so long, it became real.
Danielle Moonstar: I saw a memory. It wasn’t mine. Who were they?
Illyana Rasputin: I never knew their names. They were all the same. They made us cry. And it made them smile.


 

Rahne Sinclair: I’m not afraid of you. I’m afraid of what I saw. Of him.
Danielle Moonstar: But what if he only came because of me?
Rahne Sinclair: Even if you are the one making these things happen, you had no choice. It’s not your fault.


 

Danielle Moonstar: [to Rahne] I saw something when Dr. Reyes was testing me. I saw kids like us. Mutants, being forced to do things. Horrible things.


 

Danielle Moonstar: I don’t think this is a hospital. The place that I saw, I think that’s where we go, when we leave. If we leave.


 

Rahne Sinclair: Are you just going to let her pump you full of drugs again?
Danielle Moonstar: Last time, I saw things, secrets. Maybe I will again. Maybe those secrets will help us find a way out of here.
Rahne Sinclair: How?
Danielle Moonstar: I don’t know yet. But let’s live a bit longer, Rahne Sinclair.


 

[as Illyana is envisioning a place from her past]
Sam Guthrie: What the hell is this place?
Illyana Rasputin: No. No, I buried this.
[as a Smiling Man is trying to attack young Illyana]
Illyana Rasputin: Stay away from her, you pig!


 

Dr. Reyes: I can’t tell you how hard it is for a doctor to face that, Dani. That powerlessness. You can do your best to save a patient, but sometimes the most humane thing to do is put it to sleep.


 

[as she’s putting Danielle to sleep]
Dr. Reyes: You’re the most powerful mutant we’ve ever had. But my superiors believe your
powers cannot be controlled. It’s almost over, Dani.


 

[referring to Reyes]
Roberto da Costa: B**ch put force fields over all the exits.
Sam Guthrie: Is she trying to kill us?
Roberto da Costa: Don’t know. Did she make those smiley things?
Sam Guthrie: No. They’re Illyana’s.
Roberto da Costa: Of course they are.


 

[after Illayan kills the Smiling Men with her sword arm]
Roberto da Costa: That was so hot.


 

[referring to Reyes trying to kill Dani]
Rahne Sinclair: That test? It wasn’t a test. She tried to kill her.


 

Illyana Rasputin: My file. “Patient reviles authority. But her fragmented psyche and base hatred for humans makes her a prime candidate for the program. Conclusion, a killer, with limitless potential. Recommend continued investment.”
Roberto da Costa: Essex Corporation.
Danielle Moonstar: That must have been the place I saw.
Rahne Sinclair: She wasn’t prepping us to be X-Men. She was prepping us to be killers.


 

Danielle Moonstar: We don’t have much time. Reyes wants me dead. And it won’t be long before she comes back to finish the job.
Roberto da Costa: How? This place is designed to keep us inside. All our powers, it won’t work. It’s hopeless.
Danielle Moonstar: No. It isn’t. We got each other out of our cages. We can get out of this.
Sam Guthrie: That’s all well and good. But she’s still got force fields around the building. The windows, everything. How are you going to get past that?
Danielle Moonstar: By taking out the source.
Illyana Rasputin: Then let’s kill the b**ch.


 

Sam Guthrie: What’s Essex Corp?
Dr. Reyes: It’s a scientific organization founded by my superiors.
Sam Guthrie: Founded to do what? Screw with our heads?
Dr. Reyes: To save you! If it wasn’t for me, you all would’ve been dead a long time ago!


 

Dr. Reyes: I want all of you to calm down. Alright? Promise to do that. And I’ll let you go. Except Dani. Dani needs to be put down.
Rahne Sinclair: No!
Illyana Rasputin: Let us out! Let us out!
Dr. Reyes: It’s okay. It’s for her own good. And yours. I’m sure you’ve figured out her power by now. So special. She takes your greatest fear, your darkest secret, and makes you live through it. Over and over. Over and over. Until it kills you.


 

[referring to the Demon Bear]
Roberto da Costa: It’s hunting us.
Rahne Sinclair: No. It’s hunting Dani.
Sam Guthrie: Why Dani?
Rahne Sinclair: Because that’s what she fears.


 

Illyana Rasputin: Take Dani to a safe place, and I’ll take care of this bear.
[opens the portal to limbo using an incantation]
Rahne Sinclair: What are you going to do?
Illyana Rasputin: I’m going to play with it. Get her out of here.
Sam Guthrie: Are you crazy? That thing will kill you!
Rahne Sinclair: He’s right. It’s magic!
Illyana Rasputin: So am I.


 

[as Illyana is attacking the Demon Bear]
Sam Guthrie: Holy s**t!
Roberto da Costa: I’m going to marry that girl.


 

[as she holds the unconsious Dani in her arms]
Rahne Sinclair: Hail Mary, full of grace, blessed art thou amongst women. Pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death. Amen.


 

Rahne Sinclair: Dani, I know you’re in there. Please. You’re not alone. I’m here. We’re all here, fighting for you.


 

Rahne Sinclair: [to Dani] You have to wake up, or we’re all going to die.


 

[as Dani is visited by her father’s spirit]
Danielle Moonstar: Dad! I’m so sorry.
Dani’s Father: It wasn’t your fault. But now you need to wake up.
Danielle Moonstar: But the bear, it’s too big.
Dani’s Father: You’re bigger.


 

Danielle Moonstar: [to the Demon Bear] Everything is going to be okay. You don’t have to worry about anything anymore. But it’s time to go to sleep now.


 

Danielle Moonstar: Thank you. Thanks, all of you. For saving me.
Rahne Sinclair: Are you kidding? You saved us.


 

Sam Guthrie: Hey, guys. The dome’s gone.
Illyana Rasputin: So we’re free?
Roberto da Costa: Reyes always said the nearest town is twenty miles away.
Illyana Rasputin: She could be lying. Shall we find out?


 

Danielle Moonstar: My father used to tell me that inside every person, there are two bears. One bear is all things good. Compassion, love, trust. The other is all things evil. Fear, shame, and self-destruction. I asked him, “Which one wins?” He answered, “The one you feed.”
