Sledge Hammer!

Sledge Hammer! was a satirical police sitcom produced by New World Television that ran for two seasons on ABC from 1986 to 1988.

Under the Gun [1.1]

 * Newscaster: Twelve hours have passed since the Mayor's daughter was first reported missing. The police now believe she was kidnapped, or is just very good at hiding.

 * Doreau: This is the leader of the group, Weird Willard Luxley. Luxley's family was so certain their son would turn out rotten they put him up for adoption three years before he was born. This is Feliz Navidad, a fiery Latin revolutionary who illegally entered this country as Julio Iglesias. Lastly, we have former member Kurt Kruggle, a despicable pervert. First arrested five years ago for making love to a fire hydrant. An additional charge was brought against Kruggle for parking in front of it.

Hammer Gets Nailed [1.2]

 * Doreau: That man over there is a fiendish killer. Tied his dates to a magic fingers bed. Twelve women massaged to death.
 * Gumm: How awful.
 * Doreau: Made the Ten Most Wanted List. Also made Cosmo's Bachelor of the Month

 * Trunk: Hammer, you don't seem to understand my dilemma. I've been fighting with the city hall for over two months now. They're talking about making cutbacks. The mayor is threatening this entire department. Do you understand what I am saying?
 * Hammer: You want me to kill the mayor.

 * Sledge Hammer: Hey, get back here! Don't you wanna finish the job? You lazy Commie! (after chasing off a foreign spy/assassin)

Witless [1.3]
Hammer - Alright little lady, I want that bucket filled pronto!

Hammer - Hey, haven't I seen you on oatmeal boxes?

Dori Day Afternoon [1.5]

 * Hammer [answers phone] Second National Bank, hostage speaking.
 * Trunk: Hammer, this is Trunk. Have they hurt anyone?
 * Hammer: No.
 * Trunk: Have you hurt anyone?
 * Hammer: Not yet.

 * A crowd gathers near a building where a man on the ledge is threatening to jump
 * Dori: I'll get a bullhorn and try to talk him down.
 * Hammer: No, no, I can handle this.
 * Dori: Hammer! [Hammer opens fire at the man, but missing and shooting off pieces of the ledge. The suicide jumper finally takes cover inside the building]
 * Hammer: Another life saved and I still have one bullet left. Listen my bank is just around the corner, can we stop and I'll get some cash and then you can buy me breakfast.

Over My Dead Bodyguard [1.8]

 * Sledge: You know, that's what I hate about newspapers in this country. They find out things, and then they write about them!

Magnum Farce [1.9]

 * Collins: Of all the officers I've recruited, there's something strangely appealing about you. I guess it's your callous disregard for human rights, your savage instinct, your chauvinism, your inability to treat women as equals.
 * Hammer: Yeah, I'm quite a catch.

If I Had a Little Hammer [1.10]

 * Hammer: This is a precinct, not an encounter group. If a man and a woman have problems, they should settle them the way my wife and I did, with a divorce.

 * Hammer: Doreau, what are you doing? Cops can't go around making promises they can't keep. That right is reserved for the President

 * Trunk: Hammer, have you no compassion for what those people are going through?
 * Hammer: Of course I do. I have suffered a sense of loss just like everyone else. I lost my luggage once. I was torn up about it for weeks.

To Live and Die on TV [1.11]

 * Kenny: You know, Inspector, in this business we call a show, contestants come and go, but Mel just wasn't a first name on a cheap tag. No, he had a last name too. What the hell was it?

Miss of the Spider Woman [1.12]

 * Hammer: You know, Captain, I never thought I'd go out like this. I always thought I'd live to see a nuclear war.
 * Trunk: You've got forty-six minutes left. It could still happen.
 * Hammer: Thanks, Captain.

The Old Man and the Sledge [1.13]

 * Doreau: Hammer, there's a report of gunfire in an apartment building a couple of blocks from here.
 * Hammer: Who needs coffee? That'll get me revved up!

 * Doreau: You know, Hammer, looking out for Mr. Yates really showed me that you're not all hostility and vengeance. Mostly. But not all.

 * Hammer: That was reckless, it was careless, it was totally irresponsible. And I loved it.

State of Sledge [1.14]

 * Trunk: I sent Hammer home early and I got rid of every scrap of paper with Hammer's name on it. That guy won't even know Hammer exists. I wish I could say the same.

 * Inspector Perkins: Mr. Slag, I want to know if Inspector Hammer has mistreated you in any way.
 * [Slag holds up his hands, which are shackled]
 * Inspector Perkins: What are these? Are these shackles really necessary?
 * Sledge Hammer: I'm just trying to make his stay in Hotel Hammer a little more uncomfortable.
 * Inspector Perkins: Remove these shackles.
 * Sledge Hammer: You don't want me to remove them.
 * Inspector Perkins: Inspector Hammer!
 * [Slag smirks and holds up his hands. Hammer sighs and unlocks the shackles]
 * Inspector Perkins: There. Does that feel better, Slag?
 * [Slag immediately starts throttling Perkins. As he chokes and gasps, Hammer stands by calmly]
 * Sledge Hammer: Just, uh, tell me if you want me to help you. You know, just say, "help me, Hammer" and I'll...
 * [He leans forward, as though trying to hear]
 * Inspector Perkins: [manages to croak] Help.
 * [Hammer nods and draws his gun]
 * Sledge Hammer: All right, heel, ratboy.
 * [Slag drops Perkins, and shrugs innocently]

Haven't Gun, Will Travel [1.15]

 * Doreau: In London the cops don't carry guns and criminals don't carry a gun. And London is a very safe city to live in.
 * Hammer: Yeah. Especially if you're a crook, and you've got a gun.

 * Hammer: This whole thing has just complete sapped my self-confidence. I'm not a man any more. I'm indecisive. Well, actually, I don't know, maybe I'm not. No, I, I... am.

The Color of Hammer [1.16]

 * Trunk: Hammer, I haven't seen you this excited about TV since they colorized World War II footage.

 * Brianne O'Brian: You've got a reputation as a hardliner. You've even been referred to as "The Hanging Judge." When did you get that name?
 * Judge Jackson: At my baptism.
 * Brianne O'Brian: We know how you feel about the death penalty. Where do you stand on the electric chair?
 * Judge Jackson: Right next to the switch.

Brother, Can You Spare a Crime? [1.17]

 * Doreau': Hammer, I cannot believe what you're saying. Incarcerate potential criminals at birth? What are you going to do, throw them in a baby prison?
 * Hammer: If they resist arrest.

Desperately Seeking Dori [1.18]

 * Doctor: I'm afraid that blow to Detective Doreau's head has caused a behavioral imbalance. She's become excessively violent, irrational, and dangerous.
 * Hammer: That happened to me once. The day I was born.

 * Trunk: Hammer! I want you and Doreau to come into the precinct immediately. And I want you to make sure she does not get killed. It's okay if you do.

Sledgepoo [1.19]

 * Kruggle: Listen, Hammer, I've got some information for you about that cat burglar, the one who's pulling off all those jewel robberies.
 * Hammer: Hey, listen, forget it, okay. It's a sissy case.
 * Kruggle: Oh yeah? Well, uh, he's suspected of shooting a cop.
 * Hammer: There's a cat burglar who shot a cop. Now I'm mildly enraged.

 * Commissioner Holbestam: Hammer, what do you have behind your back?
 * Hammer: What? Oh, the bowling ball. Well, actually, there's a very simple explanation.
 * Trunk: Yeah, he's found a new way to harm others.

Comrade Hammer [1.20]

 * Doreau: Captain, I think we can get the professor to Springfield without using a plane. We'll use an alternative form of transportation that no one ever uses any more.
 * Hammer: That's a good idea, Doreau. We'll take a stagecoach. I'll ride shotgun.

Jagged Sledge [1.21]

 * Doreau: Captain, you don't seriously believe that Hammer shot Hugo Victor in cold blood, do you?
 * Trunk: Doreau, what I can't believe is that Hammer shot him only once. Restraint is not one of Hammer's strong points.

The Spa Who Loved Me [1.22]

 * Robin Leach: Good evening, I'm Robin Leach. The producers of Sledge Hammer! have asked me to explain tonight's episode. Let me be frank, it is an attempt to boost the ratings. There are many ways to do this. Better scripts, more warmth, and big-name guest stars. But we're desperate. So in tonight's episode, we're going to rely on four sure-fire ratings grabbers. Sex, violence, rock music, and, best of all, a cliffhanger ending that will keep our viewers glued to the edge of their seats until next season, thus ensuring there will be a next season. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

 * Trunk: Hammer, I must congratulate you on apprehending those bank robbers. I just can't believe that you were able to get them to surrender their weapons by reading aloud from the collected works of Rob McKuen.
 * Doreau: It's great.
 * Hammer: You know, some of them were weeping openly. The truth is, poetry is more effective than tear gas.

When Hammer; Doreau; Trunk find the nuclear warhead; Trunk asks Hammer if he Knows what hes doing:
 * Hammer:TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT IM DOIng

Bomb goes off leaving a ruined city
 * Trunk:HAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMER

A Clockwork Hammer [2.01]

 * Landon Smartikoff: At level 4 we associate scenes of extreme violence with our command to forget a certain topic. It can turn Oliver North into a bed-wetter.
 * Marc Rinsler: This had better work, we're running out of time.
 * [Hammer is exposed to a string of violent images.]
 * Landon Smartikoff: This is impossible! This man is experiencing every form of violence known to man... and he's loving it!

 * Marc Rinsler: I am losing my patience...
 * Landon Smartikoff: So am I... give me a gun, let's kill him!
 * Marc Rinsler: Are you mad?!
 * Landon Smartikoff: Of course I'm mad! Would a sane man work in television?

Wild About Hammer [2.04]

 * Trunk: According to our findings, Elizabeth Jenkins escaped six months ago from a home.
 * Doreau: You mean, "a home"?
 * Trunk: That is correct. And apparently while there, she became obsessed with TV police shows. Upon escaping, Jenkins used falsified records to enroll herself in the police academy.
 * Doreau: So, after being stationed at the 33rd, she naturally fixated on a cliched, macho cop like Ginsburg. And when he rejected her psychotic advances, she killed him.
 * Trunk: That's right. And then transferred here... where another, similar murder almost took place.
 * Hammer: Wait a minute! You're telling me that someone with serious mental problems was able to slip through our screening procedures and become a cop? How could something as obscene as that happen?
 * Trunk: That's not the question, Hammer. The question is, "how could it have happened again?"

Lanark: A Life in Four Books

Lanark: A Life in Four Books was the first novel of Scottish writer Alasdair Gray, and is still his most famous. Written over a period of almost thirty years, it combines realist and dystopian fantasy depictions of his home town of Glasgow. Its publication in 1981 prompted Anthony Burgess to call Gray "the best Scottish novelist since Walter Scott". The book has since won the Saltire Society Book of the Year and David Niven awards, and has become a cult classic.

Quotes

 * Lanark consists of Chapters 1 - 44 sequentially within four "Books" arranged unusually, beginning with Book Three, followed by a Prologue, Book One, Interlude, Book Two, and Book Four, with an Epilogue four chapters before the end of the novel.

 * Instead of visiting ten parties since you came here, laying ten women and getting drunk ten times, you've watched thirty days go by. Instead of making life a continual feast you chop it into days and swallow them regularly, like pills.
 * Book Three, Ch. 1: The Elite

 * Art is the only work open to people who can't get along with others and still want to be special.
 * Book Three, Ch. 1: The Elite

 * Attention, please note! Attention, please note! The expansion committee announces that after the hundred and eightieth all twittering is to be treated as a sign of hopelessness!
 * Book Three, Ch. 10: Explosions

 * Remember, Duncan, when most people leave school they have to live by work which can't be liked for its own sake and whose practical application is outside their grasp. Unless they learn to work obediently because they're told to, and for no other reason, they'll be unfit for human society.
 * Book One, Ch. 17: The Key

 * I bet you felt very special and superior, being punished by God for something he doesnae give a damn for in other folk. Well, I hate to disappoint you, but ye may as well leave God and masturbation out of it and go back to having asthma in the normal way.
 * Book One, Ch. 18: Nature

 * People in Scotland have a queer idea of the arts. They think you can be an artist in your spare time, though nobody expects you to be a spare-time dustman, engineer, lawyer or brain surgeon.
 * Book One, Ch. 20: Employers

 * A story can always end happily by stopping at a cheerful moment. Of course in nature the only end is death, but death hardly ever happens when people are at their best. That is why we like tragedies. They show men ending energetically with their wits about them and deserving to do it.
 * Interlude (prior to Ch. 21 in Book Two)

"I envy your purpose." "I envy your self-confidence." "Why?" "It makes you welcome at parties. It lets you kiss the host's daughter behind the sofa when you're drunk." "That means nothing, Duncan." "Only if you can't do it."
 * "I paint because I feel cheap and purposeless when I don't."
 * Book Two, Ch. 22 : Kenneth McAlpin

 * I wish I was a duck on Alexandra Park pond. I could swim, and fly, and walk, and have three wives, and everything I wanted. But I'm a man. I have a mind, and three library tickets, and everything I want is impossible.
 * Book Two, Ch. 26 : Chaos

 * Space is infinite to men without destinations.
 * Book Four, Ch. 32 : Council Corridors

 * War is just a violent way of doing what half the people do calmly in peacetime: using the other half for food, heat, machinery and sexual pleasure. Man is the pie that bakes and eats himself, and the recipe is separation.
 * Book Four, Ch. 36 : Chapterhouse

Ed Ricketts

Edward Flanders Robb Ricketts (14 May 1897 – 11 May 1948) was an American marine biologist, ecologist, and philosopher.

About Ed Ricketts

 * Some he taught how to think, others how to see or hear... Children on the beach he taught how to look for and find beautiful animals in worlds they had not suspected were there at all.
 * John Steinbeck, foreword to The Log from the Sea of Cortez (1951).

 * Ricketts was a remarkable scientist and a remarkable character who probably invented modern marine ecology.
 * Stuart Thompson, professor of biological sciences at Hopkins Marine Station.

 * The first director of Hopkins didn’t get along with him so Ricketts would have to wait until he was out of town to sneak into the library with the help of some sympathetic professor.

 * After reviving Fiona's forest.

 * After 400 years of experience, I have come to think that Lavos may not be responsible for the Gates... It is unknown, whose memories these are. It may be something beyond our comprehension.  Our journey may come to an end when we finally discover the identity of the Entity. ... shall we turn in for the night?
 * Contemplating the origin of the gates.

 * I'll give you my legs! They're lightweight and well balanced.  You could mount some treads on me instead.
 * To Lucca after she fails to save her mother from the accident.

 * I'm sorry but... I cannot afford to lose anything else... Not my precious memories, or my irreplaceable friends... Humans have taught me much.  Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, and Ayla...  I will not betray my friends.

For you there will be no tomorrow! The Black Omen transcends time and space, waiting for Lavos to awaken! Destiny has led you here. And here you shall rest forever, unless you defeat me, and smash the Omen! Perhaps I can persuade Lavos to share his dreams to you! Did I say dreams? I meant his eternal nightmare!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Secfan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Secfan~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Pol Pot

Pol Pot (19 May 1925 – 15 April 1998), born Saloth Sar, was the General Secretary of the Cambodian Communist Party (Khmer Rouge) and the Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1976 to 1979. He presided over a totalitarian dictatorship which made urban dwellers move to the countryside to work in collective farms and on forced labour projects. The combined effects of executions, strenuous working conditions, malnutrition and poor medical care caused the deaths of approximately 25 percent of the Cambodian population.

Quotes

 * We want only peace, to build up our country. World opinion is paying great attention to the threat against Democratic Kampuchea. They are anxious. They fear Kampuchea cannot oppose the Vietnamese. This could hurt the interests of the Southeast Asian countries and all of the world's countries.
 * Interview with Elizabeth Becker (22 December 1978), quoted in "Pol Pot remembered", BBC News (20 April 1998)

 * Our policy was to provide an affluent life for the people. There were mistakes made in carrying it out. Several thousand people may have died.
 * Interview with Robert Whytman for The Guardian (11 December 1979)

 * The standard of the [Bolshevik] revolution of November 7, 1917, was raised very high, but Khrushchev pulled it down. The standard of Mao's [Chinese] revolution of 1949 stands high until now, but it has faded and is wavering: it is no longer firm. The standard of the [Cambodian] revolution of April 17, 1975, raised by Comrade Pol Pot, is brilliant red, full of determination, wonderfully firm and wonderfully clear-sighted. The whole world admires us, sings our praises and learns from us.

— Pol Pot

Nate Thayer interview (1997)

 * "Day of Reckoning" by Nate Thayer, in Far Eastern Economic Review (October 1997)

 * Everything I did, I did for my country.

 * First, I would like to tell you that I came to carry out the struggle, not to kill people. Even now, and you can look at me, am I savage person? My conscience is clear.

 * There's what we did wrong and what we did right. The mistake is that we did some things against the people — by us and also by the enemy — but the other side, as I told you, is that without our struggle there would be no Cambodia right now.

 * Tuol Sleng was a Vietnamese exhibition; a journalist wrote that. People talk about Tuol Sleng, Tuol Sleng, Toul Sleng, but when we look at the pictures, the pictures are the same. When I first heard about Tuol Sleng, it was on VOA [Voice of America]. I listened twice.

 * Whoever wishes to blame or attack me is entitled to do so. I regret I didn't have enough experience to totally control the movement. On the other hand, with our constant struggle, this had to be done together with others in the communist world to stop Kampuchea becoming Vietnamese.

 * When I die, my only wish is that Cambodia remain Cambodia and belong to the West. It is over for communism, and I want to stress that.

Attributed

 * We did not yet have laws or order. We were like children just learning to walk.
 * On the Democratic Kampuchea period, as reported by David Ashley (1995) and quoted in David P. Chandler, Brother Number One (1999)

 * I was responsible for everything so I accept responsibility and blame but show me, comrade, one document proving that I was personally responsible for the deaths.
 * As reported by David Ashley (1995) and quoted in Brother Number One (1999) by David P. Chandler

Quotes about Pol Pot

 * Dreams of a Communist utopia inspired Pol Pot to kill more than a million Cambodians. Mao, Stalin, and Hitler had more victims, but Pol Pot, without a war, destroyed a greater proportion of his population than anyone else in history. His three years in power so devastated the country that, nearly 30 years later, it is still recovering. He led such a clandestine existence that few reliable details of history are known and virtually nothing about his private life
 * Clive Foss, The Tyrants: 2,500 Years of Absolute Power and Corruption (2006), p. 192

 * There was, to be sure, a great deal to regret about the Cold War: the running of risks with everyone's future; the resources expended for useless armaments; the environmental and health consequences of massive military-industrial complexes; the repression that blighted the lives of entire generations; the loss of life that all too often accompanied it. No tyrant anywhere had ever executed a fifth of his own people, and yet the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot did precisely this in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. The future will surely remember that atrocity when it has forgotten much else about the Cold War, and yet hardly anyone outside of Cambodia noticed at the time. There was no trial for crimes against humanity: Pol Pot died in a simple shack along the Thai border in 1998, and was unceremoniously cremated on a heap of junk and old tires. At least there was no mausoleum.
 * John Lewis Gaddis, The Cold War: A New History (2005), p. 266

 * In Cambodia, the Cambodian people, communists and patriots, have risen against the barbarous government of Pol Pot, which was nothing but a group of provocateurs in the service of the imperialist bourgeoisie and of the Chinese revisionists, in particular, which had as its aim to discredit the idea of socialism in the international arena... The anti-popular line of that regime is confirmed, also, by the fact that the Albanian embassy in the Cambodian capital, the embassy of a country which has given the people of Cambodia every possible aid, was kept isolated, indeed, encircled with barbed wire, as if it were in a concentration camp. The other embassies, too, were in a similar situation. The Albanian diplomats have seen with their own eyes that the Cambodian people were treated inhumanly by the clique of Pol Pot and Yeng Sari. Pnom Pen was turned into a deserted city, empty of people, where food was difficult to secure even for the diplomats, where no doctors or even aspirins could be found. We think that the people and patriots of Cambodia waited too long before overthrowing this clique which was completely linked with Beijing and in its service.
 * Enver Hoxha, In regard to Cambodia, our Party and state have condemned the bloodthirsty activities of the Pol Pot clique, a tool of the Chinese social-imperialists. We hope that the Cambodian people will surmount the difficulties they are encountering as soon as possible and decide their own fate and future in complete freedom without any 'guardian'., in Selected Works Vol. VI, p. 419

 * He said that he knows that many people in the country hate him so much and think he's responsible for the killings. He said that he knows many people died. When he said this he nearly broke down and cried. He said he must accept responsibility because the line was too far to the left, and because he didn't keep proper track of what was going on. He said he was like the master in a house he didn't know what the kids were up to, and that he trusted people too much.
 * Unidentified Khmer Rouge cadre interviewed by Stephen Heder (1981), quoted in David P. Chandler, Brother Number One (1999)

 * Pol Pot makes a very powerful impression on those who hear him for the first time. After that, they want to come back... those who attend his seminars feel enlightened by his teaching, his explanations and his vision... he's like a father to us.
 * Khmer Rouge defector (1990) quoted in David P. Chandler, Brother Number One (1999)

 * As a judge, history also undermines the claims of leaders to omniscience. Dictators, perhaps because they know their own lies so well, have usually realized the power of history. Consequently, they have tried to rewrite, deny, or destroy the past. Robespierre in revolutionary France and Pol Pot in 1970s Cambodia each set out to start society from the beginning again. Robespierre’s new calendar and Pol Pot's Year Zero were designed to erase the past and its suggestions that there were alternative ways of organizing society. The founder of China, the Qin Emperor, reportedly destroyed all the earlier histories, buried the scholars who might remember them, and wrote his own history. Successive dynasties were not as brutal but they, too, wrote their own histories of China's past. Mao went one better: He tried to destroy all memories and all artifacts that, by reminding the Chinese people of the past, might prevent him from remodelling them into the new Communist men and women.
 * Margaret MacMillan, The Uses and Abuses of History (2008)

 * Pol Pot, the communist Khmer Rouge leader who created the democidal hell known as Democratic Kampuchea, only ruled Cambodia for four years, but in that short time he murdered millions of innocent people — half the population — impoverished the country, killed all intellectuals, or even people who wore spectacles, and tried to restart time at a diabolic Year Zero.
 * Simon Sebag Montefiore, Monsters: History's Most Evil Men and Women (2009), pp. 326-327

 * In his murderous, almost psychotic, schemes for a communist utopia, Pol Pot, Brother Number One, outran anything in George Orwell's imagination. During a reign of just under four years, he oversaw the deaths of between two and five million men, women and children — over a third of the entire population of Cambodia.
 * Simon Sebag Montefiore, Monsters: History's Most Evil Men and Women (2009), p. 350

 * He was always a good husband. He tried his best to educate the children not to be traitors. Since I married him in 1985, I never saw him do a bad thing ... what I would like the world to know was that he was a good man, a patriot, a good father.
 * Pol's second wife, Mea Son (April 1998), quoted in Nate Thayer, "Dying Breath," Far Eastern Economic Review (30 April 1998)

 * In April 1998 one of history's most reviled mass murderers died. This was a leader who showed his people no mercy. As ruler of Cambodia Pol Pot was responsible for killing 2 million people. That's a quarter of the country's population. During his four year reign Pol Pot tortured and starved the Cambodians to death. Men, women, children and babies were often brutally clubbed to death with hammers and buried alive. As the architect of a brutal social experiment driven by racial and political hatred Pol Pot's regime left behind a tragic legacy of misery and mass graves.

X2 (film)

X2, released in 2003 is the second of a series of three films based on the X-Men comic series. It follows X-Men and precedes X-Men: The Last Stand In this film, the heroic team of mutants must form an uneasy alliance with former enemy Magneto to stop an obsessed military scientist from exterminating all mutant-kind. Based on characters from Marvel comics.
 * Directed by Bryan Singer. Screenplay by Michael Dougherty, Dan Harris, and David Hayter. Story by Zak Penn, David Hayter and Bryan Singer

The time has come for those who are different to stand united (Taglines)

Professor Charles Xavier

 * Mutants. Since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet, debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their share of the world? Either way it is a historical fact: Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute.

Logan/Wolverine

 * [After ripping off and throwing his dog tags at Stryker's feet] I'll take my chances with him.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto

 * [After stopping the X-Jet from crashing with his powers] When will these people learn how to fly?

Jean Grey

 * Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It is how we have evolved from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.

Colonel William Stryker

 * I was piloting black-ops missions in the jungles of North Vietnam when you were suckin' on your mama's tit at Woodstock, Kelly. Don't lecture me about war. This already is a war.

Dialogue

 * [Pyro and Iceman show off their skills in a museum, but the people caught by surprise at what's happening suddenly freeze.]
 * Rogue: Bobby, what did you do?
 * Iceman: I didn't do this.
 * Professor Xavier: [appears] No. I did. [to John] And the next time you feel like showing off, don't.

 * Colonel William Stryker: We developed the technology that built his plastic prison.
 * Senator Kelly: This facility is a school.
 * Stryker: Sure it is. [he sets photos on the president's desk]
 * President McKenna: What the hell is that?
 * Stryker: A jet.
 * McKenna: What kind of jet?
 * Stryker: We don't know — but it comes up out of the basketball court.

 * [Logan enters Cerebro holding a lit cigar]
 * Professor Charles Xavier: Logan, my tolerance for your smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here, and you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six year-old girl.
 * Logan: You'd do that?
 * Xavier: I'd have Jean braid your hair. [amused, Logan extinguishes the cigar on his own palm] Welcome back.

 * [Professor Xavier learns that Colonel Stryker has been interrogating Magneto in prison.]
 * Professor Charles Xavier: Erik, what have you done?
 * Magneto: I'm sorry, Charles. I couldn't help it.
 * Professor Charles Xavier: What have you told Stryker?
 * Magneto: Everything. [Xavier and Magneto notice gas being released in prison] The war has begun.

 * Professor Charles Xavier: [Wakes up in Stryker's chambers] William?
 * Colonel William Stryker: Please, Xavier, don't get up!
 * [electronic static]
 * Colonel William Stryker: I call it the neural inhibitor. It keeps you outta here. (he taps his forehead)
 * Professor Xavier: What have you done with Scott?
 * Colonel William Stryker: Oh, don't worry. I'm just giving him a little re-education. Of course, you know all about that, don't you?
 * Professor Xavier: William, you wanted me to cure your son, but mutation isn't a disease...
 * Colonel William Stryker: (enraged) YOU'RE LYING! You were even 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. (contemptuously) My boy, the great illusionist!
 * Professor Xavier: For someone who hates mutants, you certainly keep some strange company.
 * Colonel William Stryker: Oh, they serve their purpose... as long as they can be controlled.
 * Professor Xavier (realizes, horrified): You arranged the attack on the President!
 * Colonel 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.
 * [Stryker introduces Jason, his son, in a wheelchair, who is also a mutant]
 * William Stryker: But that's only where it begins.
 * Professor Xavier (sickened): Jason. Oh, my God, William, this is your son! What have you -
 * Colonel William Stryker: NO, Charles! My son is dead... just like the rest of you.

 * [While Kurt prays, Ororo stumbles to him and look at Kurt's markings in his face]
 * Storm: So... what... are they?
 * Nightcrawler: They are angelic symbols passed on to mankind by the Archangel Gabriel.
 * Storm: They're beautiful. How many do you have?
 * Nightcrawler: One for every sin. So quite a few.
 * [Storm smiles]
 * Nightcrawler: You and Miss Grey are schoolteachers?
 * Storm: Yes. At a school for people like us, where we can be safe.
 * Nightcrawler: Safe from what?
 * Storm: Everyone else.
 * Nightcrawler: You know, outside of the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I did not 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.

 * Magneto: His name is Colonel William Stryker, and he invaded your mansion for one purpose; he wanted Cerebro, or enough of it to build one of his own.
 * Dr. Jean Grey: But that doesn't make any sense. Stryker would need the Professor to operate it.
 * Magneto: Which I think is the only reason my old friend is still alive.
 * Storm: Oh, my God...[She, Jean, and Magneto exchange worried looks]
 * Wolverine: What are you all so afraid of?
 * Magneto: While Cerebro is working, Charles's mind is connected to every living person on the planet. If he were forced to concentrate hard enough on a particular group-let's say, mutants, for example-he could kill us all.
 * Storm: [incredulously] Wait a minute. How would Stryker even know where to find Cerebro in the first place?
 * Magneto: [ashamed] Because I told him. I helped Charles build it, remember? Mr. Stryker has powerful methods of persuasion, even against a mutant as strong as Charles.
 * Jean Grey: So who is this Stryker, anyway?
 * Magneto: He's a military scientist. He spent his whole life trying to solve the 'mutant problem'. If you want a more intimate perspective, why don't you ask Wolverine? [to Wolverine] You don't remember, do you? William Stryker: The only other man I know who can manipulate adamantium. The metal on your bones. It carries his signature.
 * Wolverine: But the Professor—
 * Magneto: The Professor trusted you were smart enough to discover this on your own. He gives you more credit than I do.

 * Pyro: So they say you're the bad guy.
 * Magneto: Is that what they say?
 * Pyro: That's a dorky-looking helmet. What's it for?
 * Magneto: This "dorky-looking helmet" is the only thing that's going to protect me from the real bad guys. [grabs Pyro's lighter with his power] What's your name?
 * Pyro: John.
 * Magneto: What's your real name, John?
 * Pyro: [collects a flame from the lighter and juggles a small fireball.] Pyro.
 * Magneto: That's quite a talent you have there, Pyro.
 * Pyro: I can only manipulate the fire. I can't create it. [closes his hand, extinguishing the flames]
 * Magneto: You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.

 * [Wolverine stops Stryker from escaping and forces his claws up into his armpit.]
 * Wolverine: How did it feel, bub?
 * Colonel William Stryker: Why did you come back?
 * Wolverine: You cut me open! You took my life!
 * Colonel William Stryker: You make it sound as if I stole something from you. As I recall, it was you volunteered for the procedure!
 * Wolverine: [Pauses] Who am I?
 * Colonel William Stryker: You are just a failed experiment. [Wolverine forces his claws up into his armpit even further, causing him to scream in pain] If you really knew about your past, what kind of person you were, the work that we did together...People don't change, Wolverine. You were an animal then, you're an animal now. I just gave you claws.
 * [An alarm sounds, distracting both men]
 * Wolverine: What the hell is that? What is it?!
 * Colonel William Stryker: The dam's ruptured. It's gonna flood water under the spillway. It's trying to relieve the pressure. It's too late. In a few minutes, we'll all be underwater...Come with me, and I'll tell you everything you wanna know. You can't help your friends. They're as good as dead, Wolverine. You're a survivor--always have been.
 * Wolverine: I thought I was just an animal. With claws. [Holds his claws up to Stryker's face]'' If we die, you die.
 * [He pulls out his claws from Stryker's armpit, then forces his back against the wheel of the helicopter and chains him up before running off]
 * Colonel William Stryker: THERE ARE NO ANSWERS THAT WAY, WOLVERINE!

 * [Wolverine approaches Stryker, who was chained to the chunk of the dam by Magneto earlier, while carrying Artie in his arms.]
 * Colonel William Stryker: Who has the answers, Wolverine? Those people, or that creature in your arms?
 * [Logan doesn't respond and turns to Artie, then turns back to Stryker]
 * Colonel William Stryker: Huh? Huh?!
 * [Wolverine puts down Artie, then yanks off his dog tags and throws them at Stryker's feet]
 * Wolverine: [picks up Artie] I'll take my chances with him. [walks away]
 * Colonel William Stryker: One day, someone will finish what I've started, Wolverine! One day! ONE DAY!!!
 * [While Wolverine walks away, Artie turns to Stryker and sticks out his forked tongue at him]

 * [Professor Xavier has handed the President classified documents detailing Colonel Stryker's activities.]
 * President McKenna: Where did you get these?
 * Professor Charles Xavier: Let's just say I know a little girl who can walk through walls.

About X2

 * "X2: X-Men United" is the kind of movie you enjoy for its moments, even though they never add up. Made for (and possibly by) those with short attention spans, it lives in the present, providing one amazing spectacle after another, and not even trying to develop a story arc. Having trained on the original "X-Men" (2000), i tried to experience the film entirely in the present, and the fact is, i had a good time. Dumb, but good.
 * Like all the characters in the Marvel Comics stable, the X-Men have psychological or political problems; in the first movie they were faced with genocide, and in this one their right to privacy is violated with the Mutant Registration Act. Of course there will be audience members who believe mutants should have no rights, and so "X2" provides a valuable civics lesson. (How you register a mutant who can teleport or shape-shift is not explained.)
 * Odd, then, that Wolverine is one of the dominant characters even though his X-Acto knuckles seem pretty insignificant compared to the powers of Pyro or Cyclops. In a convention borrowed from martial arts movies, "X2" pairs characters with matching powers, so that when Wolverine has his titanic battle, it's with an enemy also equipped with blades. What would happen if Pyro and Iceman went head to head? I visualize the two of them in a pool of hot water.
 * Since the earliest days of "Spider-Man," Marvel heroes have had personal problems to deal with, and there's a classic Stan Lee moment here in the scene where Iceman breaks the news to his parents that he is a mutant. The movie treats the dialogue as a coming out scene, half-seriously, as if providing inspiration for real-life parents and their children with secrets.
 * "X2: X-Men United" lacks a beginning, a middle and an end, and exists more as a self-renewing loop. In that it is faithful to comic books themselves, which month after month and year after year seem frozen in the same fictional universe.
 * Roger Ebert, "X-2: X-Men United", Rogerebert.com, (May 2, 2003).
 * On the first film, the studio was worried about the lead character stabbing people. We were like, “Yeah, okay, but he has nine inch blades that come out of his fists. People are going to get stabbed.” You can’t do what they do in the cartoons having him open doors or be the world’s most dangerous can opener. When we started to do X2 one of the first things I said to Bryan [Singer] was we needed to see Wolverine cut loose and just go on a rampage. We also knew we want the mansion be invaded. I think it was Bryan who said the others should be out of town and it should just be Wolverine watching the mansion, then you can see him tear into those people. We made sure the soldiers he was attacking were faceless. They got masks on, so you can stay in a PG-13 relm and murder a bunch of people. That’s what my 15-year-old self wanted to see from Wolverine.
 * David Hayter, "On The Evolution of Comic Book Movies", Jack Giroux, Film School Rejects, (21 July 2013).

 * When I first read this installment of the script, because I've been talking to fans, and if there's one thing they've said to me it was, 'You don't kick enough ass. Let's see that berserker rage!' I kind of thought about that, and I was like, 'Jeez, you're right.' When I went back to X-Men I, there really wasn't a lot there. I had a huge fight scene with Mystique, where I ended up on my back, knocked out, and there's a bit at the beginning, there wasn't a lot of that berserker rage. So, when I read the script, I thought the relationships were better, I thought it was funnier, I thought there was more action, but I still said, 'We've got to get even more action.' I kind of fought for a little bit more in the mansion scene sequence, particularly. That was a little more berserker rage there than was originally. But, apart from that, I thought the script had a great balance. I think it works for Wolverine's story. It's not like he's in the corner crying. He's at a crisis point where he's about to find out everything he's ever wanted to know, and as liberating as that would be, it's frightening as all hell. So, he's on edge. He's having these nightmares. So, it all kind of works in together with the action.
 * Hugh Jackman, "An Interview With Hugh Jackman", IGN, (29, April 2003)
 * With the movie coming out in the aftermath of the military action in Iraq, Singer was asked if the troubled times made him nervous about people's reactions to the war theme in this film. "No, not at all, because the soldiers working in this film, they're not even working in the United States. They're working up in Alberta, in a secret base. They're working for a person who's completely rogue from the government. The President of the United States is very on the fence and very concerned, justifiably about issues. There are mutants who possess incredible power and who are terribly violent and dangerous to the human society and mutant society. I view these as henchmen, and in terms of fighter airplanes getting dogged and police getting dogged, no one in that sphere is really harmed. It's not about bullying the authority. I personally have tremendous faith and support of our authorities and military ... Having shown it to friends of mine in the military, they get a kick out of the fact that these soldiers are a bunch of rogue, dirt bags that get what's coming to them. And we see that. We definitely see that. This guy, Stryker, he's operating in his own universe. He's tricking the President, he's conning the President into his operation, so it's quite the opposite if anything. He's more of a terrorist."
 * Bryan Singer in "An Interview With Bryan Singer" by Michelle Zoromski, IGN, (30 April 2003).

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called 24. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name 24~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
