Mutant Theatre Organizer: This cure is voluntary. Nobody’s talking about extermination.
Magneto: No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then, one day, when the air is still, and the night has fallen, they come for you.
Mutant Theatre Organizer: Excuse me, but…
Magneto: It’s only then you realize, while you were talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun.

Jean Grey: I don’t want to fix it!


 

Storm: We live in an age of darkness. A world full of fear, hate, and intolerance. But in every age, there are those who fight against it. Charles Xavier was born into a world divided, a world he tried to heal. A mission he never saw accomplished. It seems the destiny of great men to see their goals unfulfilled. Charles was more than a leader, more than a teacher. He was a friend. When we were afraid, he gave us strength. And when we were alone, he gave us a family. He may be gone, but his teachings live on through us, his students. Wherever we may go, we must carry on his vision. And that’s a vision of a world united.


 

Rogue: You don’t know what it’s like to be afraid of your powers, to be afraid to get close to anybody.
Logan: Yeah, I do.
Rogue: I want to be able to touch people, Logan. A hug, a handshake, a kiss.
Logan: I hope you’re not doing this for some boy.


 

Logan: Look, if you want to go, then go. Just be sure it’s what you want.

Logan: I’m not your father. I’m your friend.

Victor Creed: No.
Wade Wilson: It’s memorable. Sure, it’s a little bulky, tough to get on a plane. You whip out a couple of swords at your ex-girlfriend’s wedding, they will never, ever forget it.
Victor Creed: That’s funny, Wade. I think you confuse me with someone who gives a s**t.

Remy LeBeau: Do I owe you money?

Logan: It was real for me.
Stryker: I told you if you came down this road, you wouldn’t like what you found.


 

Logan: [to Kayla] That story you told me, about a man who gets flowers for the moon. I had it backwards. I thought you were the moon, and I was your wolverine. But you’re the trickster, aren’t you? I’m just the fool who got played. The worst part of it is, I should have known. But I ignored my instincts. I ignored what I really am. But that won’t ever happen again.


 

Victor Creed: We’re done.
Logan: We can never be done, Jimmy. We’re brothers, and brothers look out for each other.


 

[post-credits lines]
Waitress: [in Japanese] Do you drinking to forget?
Logan: No. I’m drinking to remember.
