X-Men: The Last Stand

I still don't know why I'm here.

Couldn't you just make them say yes?

Yes, I could, but it's not my way.

And I would expect you, of all people, would

understand my feelings on misuse of power.

Ah, power corrupts and all that.

Yes, I know, Charles.

- When are you going to stop lecturing me?

- When you start listening.

You're here because I need you.

We don't have to meet

every one of them in person?

No. This one's special.

What a beautiful campus.

John, don't you think?

Yeah, the brochure is great.

But what about Jean?

What about her illness?

- Illness?

- John.

You think your daughter is sick, Mr. Grey?

Perhaps it would be best

if we were to speak to her. Alone.

Of course.

Jean, can you come down, dear?

We'll leave you, then.

It's very rude to read my thoughts,

or Mr. Lensherr's, without our permission.

Did you think you were

the only one of your kind, young lady?

We're mutants, Jean. We're like you.

Really? I doubt that.

Oh, Charles.

I like this one.

You have more power

than you can imagine, Jean.

The question is, will you control that power?

Or let it control you?

Warren? Son, is everything all right?

- What's going on?

- Nothing. I'll be right out.

Come on.

You've been in there for over an hour.

Open the door. Warren.

One second!

Open this door.

Warren.

Let me in there right now. Open the door.

Oh, God.

- Not you.

- Dad, I'm sorry.

- Not you.

- Dad, I'm sorry.

The whole world's going to hell

and you're just going to sit there? Let's go.

Bobby!

Thanks, Kitty.

- We're getting killed out here.

- Yeah, I know. They're not ready, Storm.

- Logan.

- Oh, don't get your panties in a bunch.

That was my last cigar.

Logan.

- It's getting closer.

- Come on. Let's keep moving.

Hey, Tin Man. Come here.

- How's your throwing arm?

- Logan, we work as a team.

Yeah. Good luck with that. Throw me. Now.

Dammit, Logan, don't do this.

Class dismissed.

Hey, Colossus. Nice throw.

Simulation complete.

- What was that?

- Danger room session.

- You know what I mean.

- Lighten up.

You can't change the rules.

I'm trying to teach 'em something.

- I taught 'em something.

- It was a defensive exercise.

Yeah, best defense is a good offence.

Or is it the other way round?

- This isn't a game, Logan.

- Well, you sure fooled me.

Hey, I'm just a sub.

You got a problem, talk to Scott.

- Scott!

- Jean.

Scott. Scott.

Scott.

Scott.

- Are you OK?

- I'm fine.

You seem like you're avoiding me.

Something's wrong.

I can't touch my boyfriend without

killing him. Other than that I'm wonderful.

Hey. I don't think that's fair.

Have I ever put any pressure on you?

You're a guy, Bobby.

Your mind's only on one thing.

- They were looking for you. You didn't show.

- What do you care?

- For starters, I had to cover your ass.

- I didn't ask you to.

No, you didn't. The professor did.

- I was just passing through.

- So pass through, Logan.

Hey, look.

- I know how you feel. When Jean died...

- Don't.

Maybe it's time for us to move on.

Not everybody heals as fast as you, Logan.

- Mr. Secretary.

- Yes.

- The meeting's begun, sir.

- Thank you.

Mr. President.

Have a seat, Hank.

Homeland Security was tracking Magneto.

We got hits in Lisbon, Geneva, Montreal.

NAVSAT lost him crossing the border,

but we did get a consolation prize.

We picked her up breaking into the FDA.

You know who she's been imitating?

Secretary Trask here.

Yes, sir. She can do that.

- Not any more, she can't. We got her.

- You think your prisons can hold her?

We have some new prisons.

We'll keep them mobile. Be a step ahead.

Where is Magneto?

Raven?

- Raven, I asked you a question.

- I don't answer to my slave name.

Raven Darkholme.

That's your real name, isn't it?

Or has he convinced you

you don't have a family any more?

My family tried to kill me,

you pathetic meat sack.

OK, then. Mystique - where is he?

In here with us.

I don't want to play games with you.

I want answers.

You don't want to play games with me?

You are going to stop this.

Tell me, where is Magneto?

You wanna know where he is?

Homo sapien.

You know, her capture

will only provoke Magneto,

but having her does give us

some diplomatic leverage.

On principle, I can't negotiate

with these people.

- I thought that's why you appointed me, sir.

- Yes, it is.

- But that's not why you called me here.

- No. This is.

It's what she stole from the FDA.

Dear Lord.

- Is it viable?

- We believe it is.

You realize the impact

this'll have on the mutant community?

Yes. I do. That's precisely why

we need some of your diplomacy now.

When an individual acquires great power,

the use or misuse of that power is everything.

Will it be for the greater good or will it

be used for personal or for destructive ends?

Now, this is a question

we must all ask ourselves.

Why? Because we are mutants.

For psychics,

this presents a particular problem.

When is it acceptable to use our power

and when do we cross that invisible line

that turns us into tyrants

over our fellow man?

But Einstein said that ethics

are an exclusive human concern

without any superhuman authority behind it.

Einstein wasn't a mutant so far as we know.

This case study was sent to me

by a colleague, Dr. Moira McTaggert. Jones.

The man you see here was born

with no higher-level brain functions.

His organs and nervous system work,

but he has no consciousness to speak of.

What if we were to transfer

the consciousness of one person,

say a father of four with terminal cancer,

into the body of this man?

How are we to decide what falls within

the range of ethical behavior and what...

Professor?

We'll continue this tomorrow.

Class dismissed.

The forecast was for sunny skies.

I'm sorry.

I don't have to be psychic

to see that something's bothering you.

I don't understand. Magneto's a fugitive,

we've a mutant in the cabinet,

a president who understands us - why hide?

We're not hiding. But we still have enemies.

I must protect my students. You know that.

Yes, but we can't be students forever.

Storm, I haven't thought of you

as my student for years.

In fact, I thought that perhaps

you might take my place some day.

- But Scott's...

- Scott's a changed man.

He took Jean's death so hard.

Yes, things are better out there,

but you, of all people,

know how fast the weather can change.

There's something you're not telling us.

Hank?

Ororo. Charles.

I love what you've done with your hair.

You too. Thank you for seeing me

on such short notice.

Henry, you are always welcome here.

You're a part of this place.

- I have news.

- Is it Eric?

No. Though we have been making

some progress on that front.

- Mystique was recently apprehended.

- Who's the fur ball?

Hank McCoy. Secretary of Mutant Affairs.

Right, right. The secretary. Nice suit.

- Henry, this is Logan. He's...

- Wolverine.

- I hear you're quite an animal.

- Look who's talking.

Magneto's gonna come get Mystique.
