Plot: Several months have passed since The X-Men defeated Magneto and imprisoned him in a seemingly impregnable plastic chamber. One day, a mutant by the name of Nightcrawler infiltrates the White House and attempts to assassinate the president, setting off a chain reaction of anti-mutant measures by the government. Meanwhile, Logan is trying to discover his past. As scientist named William Stryker discovers Professor X's secret school and Cerebro, Magneto's partner, Mystique, is planning to break her leader out of prison. But when Professor X's school is attacked by Stryker's forces, Logan, Rogue, Iceman and a few are lucky to escape. Those who remain meet in Boston, where they form an uneasy alliance with Magneto to stop Stryker and rescue Professor X.

Quotes:

[during the attack on the mansion]::Colossus: I can help you.::Wolverine: [Motioning to the children] Help them!

[about Mystique]::Wolverine: She's good.::Magneto: You have no idea.

Wolverine: Got any beer?::Bobby: This is a school.::Wolverine: So that's a "no"?::Bobby: Yeah, that's a "no."::Wolverine: Got anything other than chocolate milk?

Nightcrawler: You know, outside the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I didn't hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.::Storm: Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago.::Nightcrawler: Someone so beautiful should not be so angry.::Storm: Sometimes anger can help you survive.::Nightcrawler: So can faith.

Mrs. Madeline Drake: [to Bobby] Have you ever tried... not being a mutant?

Rogue: Logan, come on. Let's go.::Wolverine: Go, I'll be fine!::Rogue: But we won't.

Pyro: I'm driving.::Wolverine: Maybe next time.

Wolverine: Who's this guy?::Rogue: This is Bobby, he's my...::Bobby: I'm her boyfriend.::[shakes Logan's hand and freezes it]::Bobby: Call me Iceman.::Wolverine: Boyfriend? So how do you guys...?::Bobby: Well, we're still working on that.

Professor X: William.::William Stryker: Please, Xavier, don't get up. [electronic static] I call it the neural inhibitor. It keeps you outta here.::Professor X: What have you done with Scott?::William Stryker: Don't worry. I'm just giving him a little reeducation. Of course, you know all about that, don't you?::Professor X: William, you wanted me to cure your son. But mutation is not a disease.::William Stryker: You're lying. You were more frightened of him than I was. You know, just one year after Jason returned from your school... my wife - you see he resented us. He blamed us for his condition. So he would toy with our minds... projecting visions and scenarios into our brains. Well, my wife, in the end... she took a power drill to her left temple in an attempt to bore the images out. My boy, the great illusionist. [crackling]::Professor X: For someone who hates mutants... you certainly keep some strange company.::William Stryker: Oh, they serve their purpose... as long as they can be controlled.::Professor X: You arranged the attack on the president.::William Stryker: You didn't even have to read my mind. You know, I've been working with mutants as long as you have, Xavier... but the most frustrating thing I've learned is that nobody really knows how many even exist or how to find them - except you. Unfortunately this little potion won't work on you, will it? You're much too powerful for that. Instead we'll go right to the source. Allow me to introduce mutant 143. The fluid secreted by his brain acts as a mind-controlling agent. [machinery hissing] But that's only where it begins.::Professor X: Jason. Oh, my God, William. This is your son. What have you done to him?::William Stryker: No, Charles! My son is dead... just like the rest of you. [hissing continues, Xavier gasps]

Magneto: Charles Xavier. Have you come to rescue me?::Professor X: Sorry, Eric. Not today.::Magneto: To what do I owe the pleasure?::Professor X: The assassination attempt on the president. What do you know about it?::Magneto: Nothing. Only what I read in the papers. You really shouldn't have to ask, Charles.::Professor X: What's happened to you?::Magneto: I've had frequent visits from William Stryker. You remember him, don't you?::Professor X: William Stryker.::Magneto: His son, Jason, was once a student of yours, wasn't he?::Professor X: Yes. Years ago. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to help him... at least not in the way his father wanted.::Magneto: And now you think that taking in the Wolverine will make up for your failure with Stryker's son. You haven't told him about his past, have you?::Professor X: I've put him on the path. Logan's mind is still fragile.::Magneto: Is it? Or are you afraid of losing one of your precious X-men... old friend?::Professor X: Eric, what have you done?::Magneto: I'm sorry, Charles. I couldn't help it.::Professor X: What have you told Stryker?::Magneto: [sighs] Everything. [gas emits] The war has begun.::Professor X: Scott!::Magneto: You should've killed me when you had the chance!

Quotes:

[Cyclops doesn't know if Logan's an imposter]::Wolverine: Hey! It's me.::Cyclops: Prove it!::Wolverine: You're a dick.::Cyclops: Okay.

Wolverine: Magneto's right: there is a war coming. Are you sure you're on the right side?::Storm: At least I've chosen a side.

[about his claws]::Rogue: When they come out... does it hurt?::Wolverine: Every time.

Bobby: Welcome to Mutant High.

[to Senator Kelly]::Magneto: Are you a God-fearing man, Senator? That is such a strange phrase. I've always thought of God as a teacher; a bringer of light, wisdom, and understanding. You see, I think what you really fear is me. Me and my kind. The Brotherhood of Mutants. Oh, it's not so surprising really. Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand. Well, don't fear God, Senator, and certainly don't fear me. Not any more.

Magneto: Welcome to the future.

Senator Kelly: I have here a list of names of identified mutants living right here in the United States.::Dr. Jean Grey: Senator...::Senator Kelly: Here's a girl in Illinois who can walk through walls. Now what's to stop her from walking into a bank vault, or the White House, or [indicating the gallery] into their houses?::Dr. Jean Grey: Senator, please...::Senator Kelly: ...and there are even rumors, Miss Grey, of mutants so powerful that they can enter our minds and control our thoughts, taking away our God-given free will. Now I think the American people deserve the right to decide if they want their children to be in school with mutants. To be taught by mutants! Ladies and gentlemen, the truth is that mutants are very real, and that they are among us. We must know who they are, and above all, what they can do!

Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Ah, Logan. I'd like you to meet Ororo Monroe, also called Storm. This is Scott Summers, also called Cyclops. They saved your life. I believe you already know Dr. Jean Grey. You are in my School for the Gifted for Mutants. You'll be safe here from Magneto.::Wolverine: What's a Magneto?::Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: A very powerful mutant. He believes that a war is brewing between mutants and the rest of humanity. I've been following his activities for some time. The man who attacked you is an associate of his called Sabertooth.::Wolverine: Sabertooth?::[looks at Storm]::Wolverine: Storm.::[looks at Xavier]::Wolverine: What do they call you? "Wheels"? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Students.::[looks at Cyclops]::Wolverine: And Cyclops, right?::[grabs Cyclops]::Wolverine: You wanna get outta my way?::Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Logan, it's been almost fifteen years, hasn't it? Living from day to day, moving from place to place, with no memory of who or what you are.::Wolverine: Shut up!::Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Give me a chance. I might be able to help you find some answers.::Wolverine: How do you know?::Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: [telepathy] You're not the only one with special gifts.

[Logan has found his way to the Professor's office]::Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: I'm Charles Xavier. Would you like some breakfast?::Logan: Where am I?::Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Westchester, New York. My people brought you here for medical attention.::Logan: I don't need medical attention.::Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Yes, of course.

Wolverine: Jean...::Dr. Jean Grey: Scott, when I tell you, open your eyes.::Cyclops: No!::Dr. Jean Grey: Trust me.::[Wolverine takes out Cyclops' visor]::Wolverine: You drop something?
