• [Magneto is put on trial at the UN Headquarters] 

  Magneto : As a boy, my people's homes were burned to ash because we dared to call God by another name. Then, my people hunted me with those who had once hunted them. I was a freak, born a mutant. An abomination to their misnamed gods. In history's sad song, there is a refrain. Believe differently, love differently, be of different sex or skin, and be punished. We sing this song to one another. The oppressed become oppressors. Xavier knew this and dreamed we could change, find harmony. A future where human and mutant could relinquish the past and finally...

  [Magneto sighs] 

  Magneto : You claim justice is overdue. Indeed. But so is healing.

  American Judge : Your words, while kind, do nothing to heal those hurt by your crimes.

  Magneto : And your sound-bite indignation will not heal mutant wounds. You build robots to hunt us, collars to chain our power.

  Male Judge : Humanity must protect itself.

  Magneto : Protection? That is extermination. I have only acted to avenge crimes against my people, as you act to avenge those against yours today.

  Chinese Judge : If that were the case, are we truly to believe, then, that in the face of what you consider to be extermination, you would walk Charles Xavier's path?

  Gambit : Not the worst thing that don't go Magneto's way, don't you think?
