Erik Lensherr
- Erik Lehnsherr: Excuse me, I'm Erik Lehnsherr.
- Professor Charles Xavier: Charles Xavier.
- Logan: Go fuck yourself.
- [Magneto halts the missile barrage and directs it upon the fleet]
- Professor Charles Xavier: Erik, you said yourself we're the better men. This is the time to prove it. There are thousands of men on those ships. Good, honest, innocent men! They're just following orders.
- Erik Lehnsherr: I've been at the mercy of men just following orders. Never again.
- Professor Charles Xavier: Shaw's declared war on mankind on all of us, he has to be stopped.
- Erik Lehnsherr: I am not gonna stop Shaw, I am gonna kill him. Do you have it in you to allow that?
- [Erik pauses while Charles shifts in his chair uneasy]
- Erik Lehnsherr: You known all along why I was here Charles, but things have changed. What started as a covert of mission, tomorrow mankind will know mutants exist. Shaw, us, they won't differentiate. They'll fear us. And that fear will turn to hatred.
- Professor Charles Xavier: Not if we stop a war, not if we can prevent Shaw, not if we risk our lives doing so.
- Erik Lehnsherr: Would they do the same for us?
- Professor Charles Xavier: We have it in us to be the better man.
- Erik Lehnsherr: We already are! We are the next stage of human evolution, you said it yourself...
- Professor Charles Xavier: [cuts in] No, no...
- Erik Lehnsherr: Are you really so naive as to think that they won't battle their own extinction? Or is it arrogance?
- Professor Charles Xavier: [looks at Erik in disagreement] I am sorry.
- Erik Lehnsherr: After tomorrow, they are gonna turn on us. But you are blinded because you believe they are all like Moira.
- Professor Charles Xavier: And you believe they are all like Shaw.
- [leans forward]
- Professor Charles Xavier: Listen to me very carefully, my friend: killing Shaw will not bring you peace.
- Erik Lehnsherr: Peace was never an option.
- Erik Lehnsherr: What brings you to Argentina?
- 1st German: The climate. I'm a pig farmer.
- 2nd German: Tailor, since I was a boy. My father made the best suits in Dusseldorf.
- Erik Lehnsherr: My parents came from Dusseldorf.
- 1st German: What was their name?
- Erik Lehnsherr: They didn't have a name. It was taken from them, by pig farmers and tailors.
- [last lines]
- Erik Lehnsherr: I know we've had our differences.
- Emma Frost: Where's your telepath friend?
- Erik Lehnsherr: Gone. Left a bit of a gap in my life, if I'm to be honest. I was rather hoping you would fill it. Join us.
- Emma Frost: Erik, I believe.
- Erik Lehnsherr: I prefer Magneto.
- Professor Charles Xavier: You know, I believe that true focus lies somewhere between rage and serenity. Would you mind if I...
- [Charles makes a gesture to request permission to read Erik's mind]
- Erik Lehnsherr: [Erik signals approval and while Charles reads Erik minds. We see moments of Erik's childhood with his mother] What did you just do to me?
- [Both Erik and Charles cries]
- Professor Charles Xavier: I accessed the brightest corner of your memory system. It's a very beautiful memory, Erik. Thank you.
- Erik Lehnsherr: I didn't know I still had that.
- Professor Charles Xavier: There is so much more to you than you know. Not just pain and anger. There is good, too. I felt it. When you can access all of that, you will possess a power no one can match. Not even me.
- [a deflected bullet fired by Moira towards Erik hits Charles]
- Erik Lehnsherr: [to Charles] I am so sorry.
- Erik Lehnsherr: [Erik looks at Moira] YOU! You did this!
- [Erik begins to strangle Moria with her necklace. Raven, Hank, Alex, and Sean walks toward Erik in order to stop him]
- Erik Lehnsherr: I SAID BACK OFF!
- [Erik throws Hank, Alex, and Sean into the air leaving Raven on the ground]
- Professor Charles Xavier: Wait, please. She didn't do this, Erik. You did.
- [Erik releases Moira]
- Erik Lehnsherr: [Erik speaks apologetically towards Charles] Us turning on each other, it's what they want. I tired to warn you, Charles. I want you by my side. We're brothers, you and I. All of together, protecting each other. We want the same thing.
- Professor Charles Xavier: My friend. I'm sorry, but we do not.
- 1st German: Who... What are you?
- Erik Lehnsherr: Let's just say I'm Frankenstein's monster. And I'm looking for my creator.
- Raven Darkholme: We have to call him, Havok. That's his name now. And we were thinking...
- [points to Charles]
- Raven Darkholme: ...you should be Professor X...
- [points to Erik]
- Raven Darkholme: ...and you should be Magneto.
- Erik Lehnsherr: Exceptional.
- Sean Cassidy: You truly believe I'll fly this time?
- Professor Charles Xavier: Unreservedly.
- Sean Cassidy: I trust you.
- Professor Charles Xavier: I'm touched.
- Sean Cassidy: [pointing at Hank] I don't trust him.
- Professor Charles Xavier: [to Hank] Say nothing.
- Sean Cassidy: I'm gonna die!
- Professor Charles Xavier: Alright. Look, we're not gonna make you do anything without...
- Erik Lehnsherr: Here, let me help you.
- [pushes Sean off the antenna]
- Professor Charles Xavier: Erik!
- Erik Lehnsherr: What? You know you were thinking the same.
- Erik Lehnsherr: [Shaw's mind is frozen by Charles] If you're in there, I'd like you to know that I agree with every word you said. We are the future. But, unfortunately, you killed my mother. This is what we're gonna do.
- [holds up the coin]
- Professor Charles Xavier: No! Please, Erik, no!
- Erik Lehnsherr: I am going to count to three and I'm going to move the coin. One.
- [moves the coin at Shaw's head]
- Professor Charles Xavier: Please, Erik!
- Erik Lehnsherr: Two. Three.
- [puts the coin through Shaw's head, Charles screams]
- Erik Lehnsherr: [to Mystique] If you're using half your concentration to look normal, then you're only half paying attention to whatever else you're doing.
- [pause]
- Erik Lehnsherr: Just pointing out something that could save your life.
- Erik Lehnsherr: You want society to accept you, but you can't even accept yourself.
- Erik Lehnsherr: You never looked better, man.
- [pats Hank on the shoulder, Hank grabs Erik by the throat]
- Professor Charles Xavier: Hank!
- Hank McCoy: Don't mock me!
- Professor Charles Xavier: Hank, put him down immediately, please. Hank! Hank!
- [Hank lets him go]
- Erik Lehnsherr: I wasn't.
- Armando Muñoz: Where to, fellas?
- Erik Lehnsherr: Richmond, Virginia.
- Armando Muñoz: So you want the airport? The station? What?
- Professor Charles Xavier: We were rather hoping you'd take us all the way.
- Armando Muñoz: That's a six-hour drive.
- Erik Lehnsherr: [stops the cab meter] That would give us plenty of time to talk.
- Erik Lehnsherr: [before Charles uses Cerebro for the first time] What an adorable lab rat you make, Charles.
- Professor Charles Xavier: Don't spoil this for me, Erik.
- Erik Lehnsherr: I've been a lab rat. I know when I see one.
- Professor Charles Xavier: I can't stop thinking about the others out there, all those mind that I touched. I could feel them, their isolation, their hopes, their ambitions. I tell you we can start something incredible, Erik. We can help them.
- Erik Lehnsherr: Can we? Identification, that's how it starts. And ends with being rounded up, experimented on and eliminated.
- Professor Charles Xavier: Not this time. We have common enemies, Shaw, the Russians. They need us.
- Erik Lehnsherr: For now.
- [Erik points toward the American and Soviet ships docked at sea]
- Erik Lehnsherr: This society won't accept us. We form our own. The humans have played their hand, now we get ready to play ours. Who's with me?
- Erik Lehnsherr: [to Mystique] No more hiding.
- [Raven walks towards Erik but turns and kneels beside Charles and Moira; Erik looks disappointed]
- Professor Charles Xavier: [to Raven] Go with him. It's what you want.
- Raven Darkholme: You promised me that you would never read my mind.
- Professor Charles Xavier: [whimpers in pain] I promised you... a lot... of things.
- [a pause]
- Raven Darkholme: [to Moira] Take good care of him.
- [Raven walks towards Erik and is joined by Angel, Janus Quested, and Azazel. The five hold hands]
- Raven Darkholme: And one more thing. BEAST!
- [Raven places free her hand on her chest]
- Raven Darkholme: Mutant and Proud!
- [Beast reacts with disgust, Erik gestures at Azazel and they vanish]
- Sebastian Shaw: Erik, what a pleasant surprise. So good to see you again. May I ask you something? Why are you on their side? Why fight for a doomed race who will hunt us down as soon as they realize their reign is coming to an end? I'm sorry for what happened in the camps. I truly am. But everything I did, I did for you. To unlock your power. To make you embrace it. You've come a long way from bending gates. I'm so proud of you. And you're just starting to scratch the surface. Think of how much further we could go, together. I don't want to hurt you, Erik. I never did. I want to help you. This is our time. Our age. We are the future of the human race. You and me, son. This world could be ours.
- Erik Lehnsherr: Everything you did make me stronger. It made me the weapon I am today. It's the truth. I've known it all along. You are my creator.
- Erik Lehnsherr: [wields an inscribed Nazi dagger] "Blood and Honor" - which would you care to shed first?
- 1st German: We were under orders...
- Erik Lehnsherr: Blood it is!
- [stabs the German]
- Angel Salvadore: [Erik gives Angel a big tip] For that, daddy-o, you get a private dance.
- [In the private dance room]
- Angel Salvadore: You guys know it's a double for both, right?
- Professor Charles Xavier: Mmm, now that won't be necessary, although I am sure it would be magical...
- [Erik cuts in]
- Erik Lehnsherr: We were thinking more, we'll show you ours, if you show us yours.
- Angel Salvadore: Baby, that's not the way it works around here.
- [Erik clicks his fingers and raises the champagne chiller]
- Erik Lehnsherr: More tea, vicar?
