Stryker
- William Stryker: You know, I'm not proud about the way things ended between us.
- Logan: Conversation's over.
- [bumps past Stryker]
- William Stryker: Playing Little House on the Prairie with a... schoolteacher, I mean, that just isn't *you,* Logan.
- Logan: [turns around] And you would know, huh?
- William Stryker: I would.
- Logan: What do you want, Stryker?
- [Stryker shows Logan the front page of a newspaper with Bradley's picture on it; the title says, "Circus Freak Killed"]
- William Stryker: Bradley was killed three days ago.
- [Logan stares at the paper]
- William Stryker: Wade before that. I believe that someone is hunting down our old team.
- Logan: [looks up at Stryker] Anyone else?
- William Stryker: As far as I know, Victor is safe. But whoever it is has names, addresses.
- Logan: I can take care of myself.
- [gets into his truck]
- William Stryker: This is not about you, Logan.
- [walks up to the driver's side and looks in the window]
- William Stryker: Your country needs you.
- Logan: I'm Canadian.
- [drives away]
- William Stryker: I know you, Logan! I know who you *are*!
- Wade Wilson: Great. Stuck in an elevator with five guys on a high-protein diet.
- William Stryker: Oh, Wade.
- Wade Wilson: Dreams really do come true.
- William Stryker: Just shut it! You're up next.
- Wade Wilson: Thank you, sir. You look really nice today. It's the green. It brings out the seriousness in your eyes.
- Logan: Oh, my God. Do you ever shut up, pal?
- Wade Wilson: No. Not when I'm awake.
- Wade Wilson: Okay. People are dead.
- William Stryker: If you didn't have that mouth of yours, Wade, you'd be the perfect solider.
- [Wade gives a sarcastic salute to Stryker]
- William Stryker: I have a job for you.
- Logan: I already have a job.
- David North: Lumberjack? Eighteen grand a year?
- Logan: Eighteen five. Plus I haven't had to kill anybody.
- David North: Miss it?
- Logan: Right about now I am.
- David North: Yeah?
- William Stryker: Zero, back to the car.
- Logan: [nods to the car as Zero keeps looking at him] Atta boy.
- [clicks tongue. Zero goes to the car]
- Logan: [holding Stryker in a chokehold to the wall] For six years I've been here, no one knew me. And then you show up, and the next day she's dead!
- William Stryker: I tried to warn you.
- Logan: Why didn't you tell me it was Victor?
- William Stryker: I didn't know!
- Logan: [slams him against the wall] Bullshit! Why?
- William Stryker: I swear on my son's life, I didn't!
- [Logan releases his grip on him]
- William Stryker: Victor's appetite was becoming too public. I had to lock him up. He felt I betrayed him. He went AWOL. He said he was coming for all of us.
- Logan: You didn't come to warn me, you came to save your own ass.
- [walks off]
- William Stryker: So what's your plan, Captain? You can't beat him, Logan, you know you can't!
- Logan: I'm gonna go find him and kill him.
- William Stryker: I can give you the tools to defeat him.
- [Logan stops and turns to look at Stryker]
- William Stryker: And we can still save the others.
- Logan: You mean save yourself, right?
- William Stryker: I promise you two things: You will suffer more pain than any other man can endure. But you will have your revenge.
- Logan: I come with you, I'm coming for blood. No law, no code of conduct. You point me in the right direction, you get the hell out of my way.
- William Stryker: [over the helicopter radio] Zero, is Logan dead?
- Agent Zero: [shaken] I don't know. I'm down.
- William Stryker: Zero, is he dead? Is Logan dead?
- [Logan approaches the wreck and glares at Zero, who is trapped in the cockpit next to the dead pilot]
- William Stryker: Zero, come *in*!
- [Logan reaches over and takes Zero's headphones]
- Logan: [speaking into the headphones] You tried to kill me.
- William Stryker: Logan?
- Logan: Where's Victor?
- William Stryker: Come back to base. I'll explain everything. We'll take down Victor together.
- Logan: Wrong answer. After I kill Victor, I'm coming for you.
- William Stryker: [sits down nervously] Logan, listen to me. If you go down this road, you're not gonna like what you find.
- Logan: You wanted the animal, Colonel. You got it.
- [hangs up on Stryker and glares at Zero]
- Logan: Those were good people back there. Innocent people.
- [Zero chuckles weakly as Logan turns and walks away from the wreckage]
- Agent Zero: It's funny how good, innocent people tend to die around you!
- [Logan extends his Adamantium claws and strikes the ground, igniting a trail of petrol, destroying the wreckage and killing Zero]
- William Stryker: We're going to make you indestructible - but first, we're gonna have to destroy you. You remember what we were looking for in Africa?
- Logan: I remember.
- William Stryker: Well, I found it. It helped us to create a metal compound so strong, that you'll be able to withstand virtually anything. It's called adamantium. I can't put Victor down myself, Logan. To kill him, you'll have to embrace the other side, become the animal.
- Logan: Let's do this.
- William Stryker: Oh, I almost forgot...
- [hold up Logan's dog tags]
- Logan: I want new ones.
- William Stryker: What do you want them to say?
- Logan: Wolverine.
- William Stryker: Mutants. I don't hate them, I just know what they can do. You don't realize this, but we are at war. I took an oath: Protect this country. My name is William Stryker, and I am not a monster. I am simply a patriot.
- William Stryker: You were sentenced for decapitating a senior officer. The warden tells me that your sentence was carried out by a firing squad at 1000 hours. How'd that go?
- Logan: It tickled.
- William Stryker: My name is Major William Stryker. You boys tired of running? Tired of denying your true nature? Tired of wars?
- Victor Creed: Why do you care?
- William Stryker: Oh, I care. I care because I know how valuable you are. I'm putting together a special team, with special privileges. So tell me, after defending this country for 150 years and 4 wars, how would you like to really serve your country?
- William Stryker: Welcome to the war.
- [from trailer]
- William Stryker: Mutants. They have a purpose. They must be controlled. That's just the beginning.
- William Stryker: Fred!
- Frederick J. Dukes: The tank?
- William Stryker: The tank.
- Frederick J. Dukes: Yeah, I got it!
- William Stryker: You could never survive the adamantium bonding...
- Victor Creed: Whatever you did to him, I can take it!
- William Stryker: All the horrible things in your life... Your father, the wars, I can make all this go away. You can live knowing that the woman you loved was hunted down, or you can join me. I promise you will have your revenge.
- Agent Zero: Weapon X is in the barn. He's just murdered two civilians.
- William Stryker: Blow him to bits. Let's see if he can survive that.
- William Stryker: We're gonna make you indestructible, but first we're gonna have to destroy you. You remember what we were looking for in Africa?
- Logan: I remember.
- William Stryker: Well, I found it. It helped us create a metal compound so strong, that you'll be able to withstand virtually anything. It's called Adamantium. I can't put Victor down myself, Logan. To kill him, you're gonna have to embrace the other side... become the animal.
- Logan: Let's do this.
- William Stryker: I almost forgot.
- [holds up Logan's dog tags]
- Logan: I want new ones.
- William Stryker: What do you want them to say?
- Logan: Wolverine.
