Doctor Octopus: Alive or dead, they’re inconsequential. Just keep them from interfering in my work. I’ll be handling hazardous materials.
Jenny: Damn right you will. Start with this!

Jeanne: Mr. Maximoff?
Pietro: Yes?
Jeanne: What are you doing?
Pietro: Watching “Downtown Abbey”. My sister enjoys it. I find it tedious.
Jeanne: You find everything tedious.
Pietro: This is true…You’re welcome to join me, if you like.— Remember this. For some these will be the best years of their lives. Yours will only get better.

Ken: Ready?
Jenny: No. But let’s go anyway.

Humberto: …Wow! You’re Cloud 9! From Freedom Force! Man, I am your biggest fan! I have your action figure, and the commemorative plates! Hey, will you go the homecoming dance with me?
Abigail: Wh—what?

Humberto: And you’re Tigra. Man, I’m sorry, I didn’t get a good look at you. You kind of smell like a mountain lion.
Greer: You really have a way with the ladies, don’t you?
Humberto: Oh, snap, I didn’t mean it like that. I meant…uh…

Jeanne: LEAVE HIM ALONE!
Scott: What—?
Jeanne: He learned everything you taught him! Tried to be exactly what you wanted!
Magneto: Pietro? Do you know this…person?
Pietro: Don’t…DON’T YOU TOUCH HER! You poison everything you touch! Wanda! Me! I won’t let your corrupt her too!

Jonathan: Hearing you say “it gets better“—someone close to my age, who just came out—that was huge. But coming here…tonight…I don’t know how to thank you.
Brandon: You don’t have to. I really needed this. I haven’t done a lot of…normal people things.
Jonathan: I’ll tell you a secret. Most normal people things suck.
Brandon: I can think of one or two that don’t. 

Brandon: Who—? Mom are you okay? 
Brandon’s mom: Turn to the side! You’re blocking the camera!
Brandon: The what—?
Brandon’s mom: Kiss him again! This is great!
Jonathan: Do you have to go?
Brandon: Y’know what I have to do? Dance. Let’s go inside. The rest of the world and all its craziness can wait until tomorrow.

Ken: So…?
Brandon: So. Y’know what they’ve been telling us? About how, out of all the young superhumans Osborn tracked down, we’re the best? The ones with the greatest potential to be heroes?
Jenny: Yeah. I can hear in this suit, y’know. What about it?
Brandon: It’s a lie. We’re not the most powerful. We’re not the smartest. We’re not the most highly trained. We’re the ones Osborn tortured the worst. The ones whose psych tests set off alarms  The ones who could take out a city block. We’re not here ‘cause they think we have what it takes to be the next Captain America. We’re here ‘cause they’re worried we’ll be the next Red Skull. They’re afraid of us.
Jeanne: They should be.

Maddy: Remember when Reptil got those burns fighting Electro? They used that University of Pittsburgh treatment on him—
Brandon: Yeah, sure. Maybe it’ll work. What a disaster. We come here so you, Mettle and Hazmat can get your lives back, and all you get is a taste before it’s snatched away. Worse than nothing. 
Maddy: Well…not for all of us. I never took the cure. I’m still normal. I feel so bad…Poor Ken and Jenny—
Brandon: Hey. Don’t do that. This is great. Maddy, you’re my friend. Even if there’s nothing they can do for my face— Even with all the crap that happened today…If it got you a future— The chance to get old, fall in love, be happy— It was totally worth it.
Maddy: And you’re my friend, Brandon Sharpe. The best friend I’ve ever had.

Jeanne: On my mark, go!
Pietro: Finesse. Join your classmates.
Jeanne: Someone has to activate the self-destruct manually! it was meant—
Pietro: For Jocasta, who’d project her consciousness into another body in the second it takes for the mansion to blow up. But she’s not here. So I’ll do it.
Jeanne: I…after what I’ve done to you, I can’t let you die for me.
Pietro: Die? Perish the thought. One second is an eternity for me. Now be a good girl…mind your teacher. —Now!

Hank: Attention, everyone! Welcome to the inaugural flag football game between Avengers Academy and the X-Men’s Jean Grey School!
Ava: You guys are going down! You’re gonna eat our dust and go home crying!
Doop: You get chippy with me. I’ll suck you into the extra-dimensional void in my mouth and you can kiss the backup brain in my butt.
Ava: Dude. Smack talk is one thing, but that sounded obscene.
Santo: Don’t expect Doop to go easy on you ‘cause you’re a girl. I hear he made Dr. Doom cry once.
Doop: Mess with the bull. You’ll get the horns.

Jenny: Ken? If I’d known this was going to happen…if we had more time…there’s things I’d want to say. Things I’d…want to do.
Ken: Yeah. Me too. But we don’t have time.  
Jenny: Well…we have a little.
