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.

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.

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."

Anyone ever tell you ladies you got a real talent for kickin' a man when he's down?

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...

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...

(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.

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.

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!

Still, someone has to stop the killing!

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.

- X-Men Unlimited #18

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!

- X-Men Unlimited #18

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.

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..?

Carry it and think of me in those times we aren't together...
...though ah hope those're few.

(Gambit)
...me too...

- Uncanny X-Men #350

(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.

- Uncanny X-Men #350

(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?

(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.

- Uncanny X-Men #350

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.
