QUOTES FROM ALLEIGH II

Kitty: Ummmm, nothing to worry about guys, he's with
us. We call him, um...JUNGLE MAN.
Icon: This is getting OUT OF HAND! Yesterday there
was only ONE defender in ALL of Wakanda -- today
the place is CRAWLING with super heroes! It's
exactly this type of RAMPANT EXPANSIONISM that
I'm PROTESTING!
Captain Britain: "Jungle Man" no interest in POLITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE. ...me only want to FREE woman --
and MAYBE make time for evening DICTION classes
.....sometime later
Captain America: uh-uh, son -- no fair trying to pick off Jungle
Man in MID-FALL. Even if it IS the silliest
code-name I have heard in a long time.
Captain Britain: Much thanks, STAR-FOREHEAD MAN...

Cerise: These two are smaller than the others. I wonder why?
Kitty: So much for your world's super-science, Sherlock.
They're children.
Cerise: CHILDREN? What is children?
Kitty: Infants, babies, youngsters, kids. You know they grow
into adults. Aw, c'mon you must have been smaller once.
Cerise: No. I emerged from the SOURCE as I am. Kitty, are you
still a children.
Kitty: Child -- NO! But, I'm still growing...
Cerise: Hmm... I had wondered why your are so small and puny.

Madelyne: (thinking) Nice kid. I wish I had a kid sister like
her. And being a pilot, I think Lockheed's a perfect
name for her...cat?
Madelyne: Scott.
Scott: Yes, Madelyne? Something the matter?
Madelyne: Just Precisely WHO are these people...and what the
blazes have your gotten me into?
Lockheed: Yawwwwn!

Colossus: You let me fight alone. You didn't even try to stop him!
Wolvie: Yup.
Colossus: We are X-MEN! We are supposed to stand by each other!
Wolvie: That's the theory.
Colossus: But you BETRAYED that trust!
Wolvie: Oh, yeah? We stand together. Is that right? Through thick an'
thin, no matter what?
Colossus: Yes!
Wolvie: We go to the wall for each other?
Colossus: Yes!
Wolvie: Pay any price, make any sacrifice -- our lives, even our honor?
Colossus: YES!
Wolvie: Like Kitty did for you? She's 14. Peter. But to save you, she
agreed to marry Caliban and join the Morlocks. If Caliban hadn't
released her from that vow, she'd be there today. You never EVEN
said "Thank You." Food for thought, eh?
Nighty: That was very harsh, Logan, and unforgiving.
Wolvie: So am I. Peter never once considered HER feelings, Kurt, what SHE
was goin' through. He never gave her a chance to explain, or them
both one to work things out. It's like the boy just cut her out
of his heart.
Nighty: He's very young.
Wolvie: He owed her GIRI -- a blood-debt obligation -- an' he welshed! A
body can't do that 'specially to someone they love. More so -- to
someone they respect! I'm glad he had t'learn the hard way. It's
a taste of what he did to Kitty. He knows what he did. Next time
-- whatever the outcome -- he'll act from choice not ignorance.

Wolvie: Look alive, troops, the BOSS is back.
Kitty: I wish you wouldn't call me that, it's embarrassing!
"Boss" -- I mean really! (thinking) WOW! Way to go Pryde!

Beyonder: Save perhaps for this new born STARSOUL -- the one you
call Phoenix -- you are less to me than the amoeba is to you.
Kitty: And what gives you the right to do what you want, to
whomever you please, without care or consideration -- just
because you're bigger than they are? Mister, who the heck do you
think you are?! There's a word for creeps like you: BULLY!
Beyonder: There is much, Shadowcat, you do not comprehend...
Kitty: I don't care! Because you're not worth caring ABOUT! Everything
I've heard of you -- from the moment you appeared -- everything
I've seen myself, tells me you're cruel, capricious, wicked --
pick a nasty word it'll fit! You hurt people -- and because it
doesn't matter to you, you seem to figure it won't to them! You
play with us as if we're puppets provided solely for your
amusement! And now that you're bored -- Now that your precious
game isn't working out the way you want -- you'll simply throw
the toys away and start again.

Dazzler: I'm not in your league. I'm a liability you heroes are
better off without.
Rogue: What a CROCK! The DAZZLER who fought me to a standstill
-- more than once -- had WAY more gumption than this!
You think none of us has ever screwed up?! Be real,
girl, we're NONE of us perfect. We all have a lot to
learn.

written by Chris Claremont, 1987

Rogue: You got some nerve, girl, castin' ME as a villain.
Dazzler: Gee -- seemed awfully appropriate to me. And where do
you get off calling me, 'girl'? I'm older than you!
Rogue: Then maybe you better start actin' like it.

written by Chris Claremont, 1987

Man on Beach: (thinking) "Wild Cards"...what a crazy premise...people with
fantastic, "super" powers...runnin' around in crazy costumes,
flyin' about like savin' the world... why that's the most
Ridiculous thing (sees Rogue flying carrying Polaris and
Dazzler) ... I...ever...heard...of.

Rogue saves Dazzler.
Wolverine: Nice save Rogue. But it shouldn't have been
necessary.
Rogue: You'd rather ah let her die, Wolverine?
Wolverine: Would'a taught the girl a lesson.
Rogue: Cute, boss.

Colossus: Apparently, the sentinel did not remain on the scene
long enough to be photographed. Only the Abomination is
pictured her. At least, I presume they have identified
the creature correctly.
Rogue: Oh, that's him, all right. Ah did my homework on bad-guys like
him --
Wolverine: -- back when YOU were a member of the club right?
Rogue: Right, Wolverine. The abomination got his powers from gamma rays,
and then he --

just killed her an' hadda dumb her body off somewhere.

Cannonball: Dear Giddy,
I didn't break my word. I said I would never
interfere in External matters again, an' I haven't.
The OTHERS did. I kept my promise. Back off now and
I'll let up keep your head.
Your Pal, Samuel Guthrie.

Quicksilver: I have to do something at an accelerated pace.
Otherwise, I'd be ordinary, and would probably want

CONFUSED?

Beast: Why GAMBIT, we do seem to have become the voices of
REASON in this little soiree?
Gambit: The price we pay for being so MATURE, BEAST. Do we let
them at it, or what?

Jean: You're JOKING aren't you? You'er a FIRE-CRACKER, Creed...and I'm an
ATOM BOMB! I know how badly you can hurt me -- but have you ever
stopped to think how it might feel -- to be RAKED by those claws you
so CALLOUSLY flail about?

isn't very nice.

Gambit: As I always suspected...redheads, they have a
DYNAMITE kiss.
Cyclops: At your own risk, my friend.
Jean Grey: I must confess, infuriating and arrogant as Gambit
can be...those eyes, that grin, the body -- it takes
a girl's breath away.
Cyclops: Oh, Really? When next the opportunity presents
itself...remind me to drop a truck on him.
Professor X: (telepathically) Cyclops.
Cyclops: A big truck.
Professor X: (telepathically) CYCLOPS.
Cyclops: A REALLY big truck.
Professor X: (telepathically) CYCLOPS!

Psylocke: (thinking) I could more easily done this
telepathically from a distance. But I like the thrill of
PHYSICAL combat. "Like It"... I CRAVE it. How does
Wolverine call it -- am I an "Action Junkie?"

Gambit: Alors! I though I'd joined the X-Men...not the BRADY
BUNCH! There are some things I prefer not to do in a

Maverick: Looks like your X-Buddies have come calling. One
assault squad? (sees Rogue, Psylocke & Gambit) Can't be
those are the JUNIOR LEAGUE. Not skilled enough for a
hit like this. Unless they came without...(sees
Cyclops, Beast, & Jubilee) No, there's the big kids.
But they got the walking lightshow with 'em. Probably
think they can best keep her from getting killed...by
keeping her close at hand.

Cyclops: I believe you people have something that belongs to us?
Gambit: Short Li'l Fella.
Jubilee: All admantium and attitude. He's one of a kind. We'd
like him BACK.
Beast: And don't forget our resident psionic Japanese-by-way-
of-Britain Ninja warrior. you can imagine how hard THEY
are to replace!

Jubilee: Clear the aisle, EV'BODY! "Way Cool People" comin'
through!
Beast: My own PREFERRED path-clearer is "Thermo-Molecularly
Enhanced Caffeine Extract!"
Jubilee: Meaning, Beast?
Beast: HOT COFFEE! Quick jot this down..."The Danger Yard!" TM
Hank McCoy and Jubilation Lee. I'm TELLING you "J" -- we COPYRIGHT
this BABY, and you and I can blow, this Taco Stand.
(singing) We're in the Mula. We're in the Mula.
Jubilee: eeep
Banshee: Hard to believe th' Boyo's got a DOCTORATE in
Biophysics.
Forge: Actually, SEAN. I'm impressed he's HELD off for as LONG
as he has.
Storm: By the GODDESS, HENRY -- NO!
Banshee: 'Tis nice to see the WEE LASS smiling, isn't it now?
Forge: First one I've seen her wear since LOGAN took off to
lick his wounds.
Storm: SEAN, FORGE and I have spent the last three hours
raking these leaves -- by hand because they insisted it
would be -- how did they put it? "THERAPEUTIC" -- and in
less than three seconds you have totally undermined our
efforts!
Beast: A thousand pardons, oh mighty LEADRESS. A MILLION
PARDONS. A GOOGLE PARDONS.
Storm: It does not -- MATTER --
Beast: Okay, okay... infinity pardons..but that's as FAR as it
GOES. A man has got to have a LITTLE dignity.
Storm : Henry, this is NOT AMUSING. I should be very angry at
you my friend.
Beast: I agree, STORM...but this...? THIS is a RIOT?
Storm: BEAST!

Archangel: After I score the touchdown kids -- we can decide
who's team I'm on!

Archangel: I knew there was a REASON I was in love with you.
Jean Grey: You even TOLD me you reason! The night of the SCHOOL
PROM -- SCOTT was busy learning how to take the
CEREBRO apart and put it back TOGETHER. What was the
TERM you used? I was "ANATOMICALLY CORRECT."
Archangel: Ha! Kids say the DARNDEST things.
Jean Grey: Sure it was a SEXIST OBJECTIFYING thing to say -- but
you did get point's for SINCERITY.

Archangel: With STORM and CYCLOPS both off campus -- you're really getting
into this SUBSTITUTE INSTRUCTOR role, JEAN.
Jean Grey: Yes WARREN -- I am. Now shush. Bishop and GAMBIT -- if you'll
please lose you WEAPONS...?
Bishop: It's always been my belief that a soldier should NEVER divest
himself of the security of his armaments.
Gambit: Mon Dieu! Does the man sleep with a teddy bear as well?

Boomer: Well, we're kinda like the NEW New Mutants 'cause the old New
Mutants up and went away. The big Kahuna is CABLE. He looks tough
but he's okay -- kinda like Major Dad? The one with the Petey the
Dog makeup on is called DOMINO. Our mother figure as it were. The
big bohunk who's secure enough in his masculinity to wear feathers
is called WARPATH. The one outta a Duran Duran video is called
SHATTERSTAR. FERAL is the one who looks like Morris the Cat -- and
just as finicky.
Feral: Hisss!

Newscaster: Though these super-powered youths have yet to be identified,
BILL, their COURAGE cannot be doubted.
Ms. Naylor: Hmmm. Think I've got it narrowed down to three choices...
Speedball: Heeey, Mom, can I go to QUEENS and FIGHT a PSYCHO SUPER-VILLAIN
with a bunch of PUBESCENT SUPER HEROES.
Ms. Naylor: (not truly paying attention) Of course, Honey...Now this one is
cable-ready, you say?
