Quotes 

• Fade : Listen, I get you trying to help, but you're not even a mutant.

  Reed Strucker : I am. And my children are. And the Underground saved our lives. If the Sentinel Services comes after another family, we owe it to them to be there.

  Sage : I'm sorry, but the fact is since your family came, half our stations have been destroyed.

  Kate Strucker : You can't blame us for that. The Hound program was coming one way or another.

  Marcos Diaz : [over everyone's murmurs]  Okay. Hey! The X-Men didn't do this 'cause they thought it would be easy. They knew it would be a struggle. They knew it would take sacrifice.

  Lorna Dane : [entering with Esme]  There's nothing noble about struggle, Marcos. And sacrifice is just a pretty name for losing.

• Marcos Diaz : Lorna, what are you doing?

  Lorna Dane : I'm telling them the truth. The Mutant Underground is dying. That world where we don't have to hide that we've always talked about? I want to build that. For all of us. For my baby.

  Marcos Diaz : That baby is ours. And this is where your family is. Lorna, you know I will do anything for you, but... I can't help you do this.

  Esme Cuckoo : No one's asking for your help. The people we're here for, they know who they are.

  Marcos Diaz : What the hell does that mean?

  Kate Strucker : [Fade starts to leave]  What?

  Marcos Diaz : Fade? Fade.

  John Proudstar : [Sage follows him]  Sage.

  Sage : I'm sorry, John. They ended the Hound program. This is just about survival.

• Evangeline : If that judge knew how half a dozen anti-mutant protestors "accidentally" fell off an overpass, you'd be in a maximum security facility somewhere.

  Lorna Dane : How do you know about that?

  Evangeline : I know a lot about you, Ms. Dane. Since 7/15, things are changing. A hard time is coming for mutants. We need people like you. Fighters.

  Lorna Dane : We?

  Evangeline : You've heard of the X-Men?

  Lorna Dane : Yeah. Aren't they an urban legend now? World went to hell and, poof, they're gone.

  Evangeline : Well, they left something behind. A network to help mutants in trouble. It needs leaders.

  Lorna Dane : And they want me? I think someone screwed up. You do realize this is a mental hospital, right?
