Hey, Gumbo... Ah'm gettin' bored breakin' you shoes... how 'bout we share a little body heat t'put you in a better mood?
(Gambit)
Uh... t'anks, chere, but... I... uh, I need room t'manuever... in case we see action. You understand.
(Rogue)
Action... right.
* * *
(Storm)
Remy LeBeau, that was perhaps the single weakest line I have ever heard stutter from your lips.
(Gambit)
Dey can't all be winners, Ororo.
(Storm)
You have been avoiding Rogue since our journey began. What happened between you two?
(Gambit)
Nuthin'... Jus'... It's still too soon... (too himself:) Right. A blind man could see I'm dyin' t'wrap her up in my arms right now... But I can't... Not after what happened in Boston. Till I figure out a way out of dat mess... Me an' Rogue are no more... For her own protection.
(Gambit)
If you only knew, Rogue... Jus' how deep this chill I'm feelin' goes. Ain't jus' a shiver in de bones. Ever since Antarctica... I been cold down t'my soul, cold like death.
(Storm)
Goddess be praised! The hail-stones atomized the icy floor of the chasm, leaving a cusion of powder --
(Rogue)
I bet he could have survived... if he'd landed on his head.
(Colossus)
The lesson for today, tovarisch? Next time your extremely weighty teammate is doing reconnaissance on an icy precipice... do not leap on his back and yell "chicken fight."
(Gambit)
Anyone ever tell you ladies you got a real talent for kickin' a man when he's down?
(Gambit)
And den sometimes...
Tryin' not t'hurt anyone... You make things worse. Rogue... What
you said... About Antartica... Dat wasn't you. It was my fault, chere.
(Rogue)
No, Remy... Leaving
you there... I can't forgive myself...
(Gambit)
Rogue, when you
kissed me at de trial... Absorbed my mind... You absorbed my self-hate
along with it. You left me because I wanted to be left... 'cause
I wanted to die. But the truth is... Once I came face to face wit'
it ... I didn't want to go. I couldn't... Because I couldn't bear the thought
of dyin' wit'out seein' you again.
(Rogue)
Oh Remy...
(Gambit)
I don't hate you,
Rogue... I could never hate you... I...
(Gambit, holding
a white rose)
Dey just worried
a scoundrel come here to sweep you off your feet an' break your heart.
By the bye, this is for you. To new beginnings...
(Rogue)
White...
White lilies are for death... That go for roses, too?
(Gambit)
-sigh- Dear lord...
Give me de strenght...
(Gambit, holding
charged cards)
Come on, belle...
You're killin' me here. Say somet'in'... Say anyt'in' chere.
(Rogue)
Gambit...
You're about to blow off your hand... And don't call me "chere",
sugah.
[...]
(Gambit)
I know what you're
t'inkin', ma petite. Dat Gambit... still de suave one, no?
(Wolverine)
No. That
ain't it at all... "ma petite".
(Gambit)
Gee, Rogue, in
this light, you almost look llike dat chevrette, Logan.
(Wolverine)
She's back at
the house, LeBeau... Waitin' fer you.
(Gambit)
Well, I'd hate
to disappoint the lady...
(Wolverine)
Gambit...
Listen good, 'cause I don't plan t'rehash this. Xavier's is a place
for second chances, even after all the lies... The trial... It's good that
you're back.
But... You play us all for fools, or break that girl's heart again... We're gonna have words. Strong ones, you dig?
(Gambit)
T'anks for de
pep talk, frere... Nice to see you again too.
(Storm)
If Remy LeBeau
does not wish to be found, Kitten, he will not be. 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 the heart of a thief.
(Gambit)
You say "stew",
I say "gumbo", it's a dangerous beauty.
Not everyt'ing's clear black'n'white.
(Gambit)
I'm a t'ief when
all else fails...
An' all else failed.
It's funny, you know you should feel frustrated and angry over the way things turned out, but...
... Though there is an unnatural sluggishnes to your steps...
... You're also quite pleased with yourself.
Your time with the X-Men was not wasted.
They have become an instrinsic part of you.
No matter what the future holds, they'll never abandon you...
It may be a lie...
... But you cling to it, nonetheless.
Some dreams die so much harder than others.
But...
Eventually...
... They, too, are forced to sccumb!
That's what heroes do, no?
And a hero is what ou, Remy Lebeau, truly aspire to be!
You obviously need practice...
Heroes don't turn tail!
They don't flee when confronted by a more powerful foe!
Maybe you should stay a thief.
At least stealing is something you're good at.
You're a thief, Gambit!
A rat scurrying among the shadows, feeding off the innocent...
...and not so innocent!
As a nod to your recent brush with morality, you only steal from other criminals...
But a thief is still a thief!
You really messed up, Gambit.
That's what you do, isn't it?
True happiness rests within your grasp for, perhaps, the very first time...
...But you strangle it with your silken tongue of lies and deceit.
(Gambit, to himself)
Single card tells
it...
'm I gonna win
or lose when de las' card's turned?
Damn.
(Sinister)
Ace of Spades?
Isn't that the card of death?
(Gambit)
I believe in de
cards. I'm out of dis game here an' now.
(Gambit)
Every man has
a price to charge...
an' a price ta
pay...
What is it that
truns an angel into a devil...
...or attracts
one to the other?
What is it?
What is it that
pulls a man in many directions all at once...
but which at the
same time...
...also holds
him together?
(Rogue)
Remy? What
is it, sugah?
(Gambit)
I... I wanna say,
Rogue, I do, but... got a wall up in me, somethin' fierce.
(Rogue)
Ah thought we
brought our walls down last night?
If it's that you...
love me. That's okay to say. Ah want to hear you say it...
so much.
(Gambit)
I...
(Rogue)
Here.
(Gambit)
Queen of
hearts..?
(Rogue)
Carry it and think
of me in those times we aren't together...
...though ah hope
those're few.
(Gambit)
...me too...
(Rogue)
Remy?
(Gambit)
Don' come in here,
Rogue.
(Rogue)
Are you... cryin'?
(Gambit)
Nah, wouldn't
want that idea gettin' out. Ruin my reputation right quick.
Leave me be, chere.
'cause with your love came somethin' else. Somethin' I never took
a hard look at b'fore...
...m'conscience.
(Rogue)
Don't you understand?
Ah love you unconditionaly!
(Gambit)
Love ain't always
enough.
(Rogue)
Yes it is!
Yes it...
(Gambit)
Stop it, girl!
Dis is what will be!
I built a house
o' cards, and it's came down on me. Guess I always knew it would.
I have t'go through
dis.
(Rogue)
But ah... ah've
never had anyone touch my heart like you did... never.
Why can't ah have
that? Why can't ah be happy?
Who says you have
to do whatever this is, instead of spending your life with me?
(Erik the Red)
You cannot set
aside your past! A man's character is the sum of his actions.
(Rogue)
Home? You
ain't got no home, sugah. Not with me...
...not with the
X-Men.
Fend for yourself.
You seem to have done a good job of that in the past.
(Gambit)
But... I love
you.
(Rogue)
You're honest
with the people you love, Gambit. Otherwise...
...it's a gamble.
What is it that
pulls a man in many directions all at once...
...but which at
the same time...
...also holds
a man together?
It is his soul.
And whether good...
...or evil...
...or a combination
of both...
...A man cannot
escape the urgings of his soul.
(Magneto)
That is how a
world is built.
One stone at a
time...
...each put in
its proper place...
...at the proper
moment.
