Quotes 

• Magneto : [Guards open fire on Magneto and Beast]  Are these the people whose laws you trust? They don't seem to share your sense of brotherhood.

  Beast : They only fight because they fear us, because they don't yet understand.

  Magneto : They do understand. Our mutant powers make us superior. That is why they attack us.

  Beast : That is why I must stand trial.

  [sits down and reshackles himself] 

  Beast : They must see that we are not a threat to mankind, but are a part of it.

• Beast : Magneto, I presume?

• Beast : Your Honor, we mutants yearn only to live in peace with our human brothers. To paraphrase the Bard, I am a mutant. Hath not a mutant senses, affection, fed by the same food, warm'd and cool'd by the same summer and winter as a human is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?

  Judge : Don't tempt these people, Mr. McCoy. Please get to the point.

• Magneto : [breaking Beast out of jail]  Come! We must hurry!

  Beast : Your solicitude is appreciated, I assure you. I regret, however, that...

  Magneto : What are you waiting for?

  Beast : My day in court, actually. Professor Xavier and I feel...

  Magneto : Xavier? Charles Xavier had you break into the Mutant Control Agency?

  Beast : Reluctantly, I assure you.

  Magneto : And he would leave you to rot in prison?

  Beast : Not at all. My trial serves a purpose. It shall prove my innocence and the righteousness of our cause.

  Magneto : What chance does a mutant have, tried by normal humans?

• Beast : [after the judge denies him bail]  Looks like I'll have time to catch up on my Dostoevsky.
