Jubilee: "NO!"
Deathbird: "Farewell" [Plunges the spear into Wolverine's back]
Jubilee: "MURDERER! Come back here, you gutless cow -- or are you
only good at stabbin' folks inna back?!"
[Cut Lines. Jubilee pulls the spear out and Wolverine runs after
Deathbird]
Jubilee: "What're you -- Where're you -- Wolverine! Your
hurt!"

Jubilee: "That is the most incredibly macho -- I HATE it!"
- Uncanny X-Men #275
Ch'od: "OOPS"
Storm: "As always, Ch'od, the master of understatement."
- Uncanny X-Men #275
Gambit: "Like the way you move chere. Pretty near a match for me,
yah? Don't talk much tho', pretty Psylocke. What, you prefer mind-speak?"
Jubilee: "Geez-Loueez, Gambit -- an' I thought I was the born
motor mouth!"
Forge: "Way you treat that boy, Jubilee... you either hate his guts
or like him alot."
- Uncanny X-Men #275

Ka-zar: "But Rogue - honey, you look so gosh-darn cute!"

somethin' real rude."
- Uncanny X-Men #275
Forge: [Upon seeing Prof X for the first time] "So that's the
legendary Charles Xavier."
Jubilee: "Big deal. Way old-timers talk, I figured he's be
something real flash. He's just some ancient bald geek."
Gambit: "Nice talk, chere."
Jubilee: "I ain't you're "chere", Cajun. An' I say what I please!"
- Uncanny X-Men #275
Magneto: Try as I might, I cannot stop this. And worst of all as
my life is torn from me, turned into a sideshow entertainment for
Brainchild's sadistic pleasure... with my strength devoted wholly
to that struggle, I have nothing left to block my emotional responses
to the memories themselves. Once more, I hear myself howl 'til my voice
shatters at the sight of my daugher, Anya, burning to death
before my eyes. Once more, hot bloodmixes with salt tears as my beloved
Isabelle's throat is cut by those I thought my trusted friends.
Once more, rage flashes through me... hand in hand with a terror I'd not
felt since Auschwitz... as at last I confront the Shadow King.
Followed by sick shame at the awful cost of my survival. [Zaladne stops
the memories and Magneto attempts to fight back]
Zaladne: "It's no more than an old wolf's last gesture of defiance."
Magneto: [He is lifted from the platform and spots Rogue & Co.]
They think me beaten, finished. A mistake many have made in the past. As
I found strength, as a boy, to survive being machine-gunned and buried
alive, and later the unimaginable horror of Auschwitz... so do I find it
in me, here and now, to break free.
- Uncanny X-Men #275
P!ral: "Your pardon, sentient, but are you of the same species
and gender as the Imperial Consort [Prof. X]?""
Forge: "Uhhh... Yes, I am."
P!ral: "Splendid! I am P!ral."
Forge: [Grinning and Thinking] "Be still my heart!"
- Uncanny X-Men #275
Jubilee: "Boldy go where nobody's ever gone -- Phooey!"
- Uncanny X-Men #275
Jubilee: "I'm not lost. No way, how try TREY uncool. Just wasn't
paying attention the last couple'a three turns."
- Uncanny X-Men #275
Iceman: "My love life is falling apart... and I'm shopping for
pork rinds?!"
- Uncanny X-Men #294
Bishop: "Bobby told me I was living in the past."
- Uncanny X-Men #311
Wolverine: "Useta happen more then -- than it does now."
Storm: "Logan?!"
Wolverine: "Laughin' Ororo. Useta happen more'n it does now. You. Me. The russkie and the elf? Those were good times."
Storm: "True, it is nice to see us all smiling again. Even if it is just for today."
Wolverine: "When'd it happen, 'Ro? When'd life start slammin' us so hard that we forgot how to laugh?"
Storm: "Goddess only knows, old friend."
- Uncanny X-Men #325/Essential X-Men #36
Bishop: "You know, LeBeau, you are indeed something of a jerk."
Gambit: "There you go, mon ami -- there's somethin' you can
always count on."
- Uncanny X-Men #331/Essential X-Men #43
Bishop: [To ArchAngel] "For once, it seems, I agree with LeBeau.
Being an X-Man isn't something you can walk away from."
- Uncanny X-Men #331/Essential X-Men #43
Gambit: "You t'ink dey serve drinks at de late show?"
Phoenix: "I think the more nervous you get -- the more jokes you
crack."
Gambit: "Shhh. Ancient family secret."
- Uncanny X-Men #333/Essential X-Men #46
Gambit: [to Phoenix] "Just when I was afraid de only reason ya
asked me to come along is my irresistible animal magnetism."
- Uncanny X-Men #333/Essential X-Men #46
Bishop: "Remy?"
Gambit: "Did you jus' call me "Remy"?! Not Gambit. Not LeBeau.
For de first time since you dropped into
dis century, you called me Remy. You tryin' to make me blush?"
- Uncanny X-Men #334/Essential X-Men#46
Bishop: "-- But it is reassuring in a small way to know I am not
going insane."
- Uncanny X-Men #334/Essential X-Men#46
Gambit: "Actually, Mon Ami... We really have it pretty good.
Bishop: "Indeed?"
Gambit: "I mean, let's look at de big picture. We got a mansion
in Westchester where we get to hang out all day wit' friends and de
closest thing any of us have t'family--and we get to use all dis way-cool
technology t'help in fightin' de bad guys. Dis water skimmer is a case
in point. I mean, if de entire world didn't fear and hate us and want all
mutants dead--we'd be having the time of our lives."
Bishop: "But they do. And we aren't."
Gambit: "Details."
- Uncanny X-Men #334/Essential X-Men#46
Gambit: "I don't believe we ever met, Marko. De name is Gambit!"

'bout if I just call ya "LOSER"! [Knocks Gambit Unconscious]
- Uncanny X-Men #334/Essential X-Men#46
Rogue: "Ah...saw what ya did. It must have been hard on you."
Gambit: "No, Chere. Not having you in my life...? Dat was hard."
- Uncanny X-Men #336
Gambit: "So why's everybody callin' him "Joseph"? What is dat
all about? Maybe I should just start callin' myself somethin'
different. James. "Gambit"? No, I'm James."
- Uncanny X-Men #337
Gambit: "... dese people even accepted me. Dat should tell ya
what a poor judge of character dey are."
Joseph: "Point taken"
- Uncanny X-Men #338
Cannonball: "Ah can think of 12 different ways t'remove his hand -
half of which would allow him t'keep it attached to his arm."
- Uncanny X-Men #340
Gambit: [To Joseph] "Really. And how do you remember that,
amnesia lad?"
- Uncanny X-Men #342
Gambit: [To Rogue] "Girl, don you ever listen? Wit'out you...I don't have
much of a life!"
- Uncanny X-Men #343
Gambit: "I'm sorry. For all de stupid t'ings I done as a pup...
All de lies and de betrayal to me an' my own. I'll always be sorry..."
- Uncanny X-Men #345
Gambit: [to Rogue] "One more thing, Chere. With your powers negated...it means this may be our
one night. Our first. Our last."
- Uncanny X-Men #348
Rogue: [to Gambit] "Almost from that first time we headed into town on your bike...Ah
could feel it. For the first time in my entire life, ah felt hope."
- Uncanny X-Men #349
Gambit: [To Rogue] "I hope someday, you'll be able to forgive
me, Chere...Because I know I never will."
- Uncanny X-Men #349
Rogue: [About Gambit] "An' if he's too stupid to know he needs rescuin', that's too dang
bad."
- Uncanny X-Men #350
Rogue: "Ah jus' found you, Remy, an' ah ain't about to lose you."
- Uncanny X-Men #350
Rogue: [to Erik the Red after he makes her kiss Gambit] "How dare you violate me like that!?
You mentally raped me! Your justice's lef' me pregnant with a new personality -- an' the exact
one ah wanted ta get to know like a real, normal woman!"
- Uncanny X-Men #350
Rogue: "Now why don't you lay off mah friend an' tell me what this is all about?"
Radius: "Make me, skunk-head."
- Uncanny X-Men #355
Gambit: "To my friends, de name's Remy LeBeau. To my enemies, it's
Gambit. You can go on ahead an' forget dat first name right about now."
- Uncanny X-Men #361
Gambit: "I'm a t'ief when all else fails..."
- Uncanny X-Men #361
Storm: "All that remains is hope -- hope that Gambit is the man
I believe him to be -- a man with the heart of a hero, not of a thief."
- Uncanny X-Men #361
Shadowcat: "So what, are you coming back?"
Gambit: "To de X-Men? Nah, sometimes you can't go back. The's one of
those times."
Storm: "Come now, Remy. We both know the real reason you resist
retuning--Rogue. But issues between people must be resolves. At one point
Charles and Magneto were close, but when they drifted apart it was the
distance that made them enemies. You don't want that to happen with the
X-Men. You don't want that with Rogue. Come back with us..."
- Uncanny X-Men #361
Shadowcat: "So how did you get out of Antartica, Gambit? You
never did say."
Gambit: "I walked. Let's leave it at that."
- Uncanny X-Men #361
Cecilia: [to Gambit] "Is your accent as real as the lung cancer that cigarette's going
to give you?"
- Uncanny X-Men #362
Kitty: "Rogue has some ribbon in her room, but she’s snoring up a storm, and I wouldn’t want to wake her."
Nightcrawler: "I could teleport in and out quickly without her noticing."
Kitty: "And stink up the joint? Subtle. But I think she’d notice."
