Quotes 

• Marcos Diaz : Damn it! I should've known. It's my fault. I should have stopped her.

  Clarice Fong : Marcos, you couldn't have known.

  John Proudstar : It's not like her to do this.

  Marcos Diaz : It's not? John, ever since we broke her out of that convoy, you know she's been different. And with the baby...

  John Proudstar : I know she's had issues in the past. Do you think that maybe this is...

  Clarice Fong : No way. I've had friends who were bipolar. Assassination plots are not one of the symptoms.

• John Proudstar : We need to start thinking about next steps. With the headquarters gone, a lot of people have nowhere to go.

  Marcos Diaz : John, we know what we need to do. We need to rebuild.

  Clarice Fong : Rebuild what? You heard Sage. The place disintegrated.

  Marcos Diaz : Not about a building. It's about the network and the people in it.

  Sage : Everything we have is gone. Restart from nothing? It's not possible.

  Shatter : Besides, anything that we build, they're just gonna smash it again.

  Kate Strucker : No. That's not a reason to give up. That's a reason to fight harder.

• 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.

• Esme Cuckoo : Where the hell is Campbell?

  John Proudstar : We couldn't get to him.

  Marcos Diaz : He shielded himself with a bunch of kids.

  Esme Cuckoo : So what?

  Clarice Fong : So, *kids*.
