[Two museum teenagers were talking to John Allerdyce, Bobby Drake and Marie.]

Museum Teenager #1:
[to John] My brother asked you a simple question.

Museum Teenager #2:
Why are you being such a dick?

Museum Teenager #1:
Yeah, why are you being such a dick?

Pyro:
Because I can. [laughs]

Museum Teenager #2:
Can I have a light?

Pyro:
[opens and stares at his lighter for a second] Hmm. [closes his lighter] Sorry can't help you out, pal. [laughs]

Rogue:
John, knock it off.

Iceman:
Why don't you stop showing off?

Pyro:
Oh. For her? I can't help it if your girlfriend's getting excited.

[One of the teenagers stare at Rogue, impudently. She was annoyed and ignores him]

Iceman:
I don't think she's getting excited.

Pyro:
Alright, alright. Don't get shooked up we're trying to have a good time.

Iceman:
I think you're the only one having a good time.

[The teenager grabs John's lighter.]

Pyro:
Hey!

[John tries to get his lighter back from the teen, who now uses it to light a cigarette, but is blocked by his brother.]

Pyro:
That's really cute, man.

Museum Teenager #1:
What are you gonna do?

[John doesn't respond.]

Museum Teenager #1:
So you're not so tough.

[John turns to the other teenager and uses his power to ignite him. The people in the museum were shocked as John laughs. Bobby manage to stop the fire with his cryokinesis. The people in the museum were stunned at Bobby and John when they suddenly freeze.]

Rogue:
Bobby, what did you do?

Iceman:
I didn't do this.

Professor Xavier:
No. I did.

[Professor X shows up in the museum.]

Professor Xavier:
[to John] And the next time you feel like showing off, don't.

Professor Charles Xavier:
[Wakes up in Stryker's chambers] William?

Colonel William Stryker:
Please, Xavier, don't get up!

[electronic static]

Colonel William Stryker:
I call it the neural inhibitor. It keeps you outta here.

Professor Xavier:
What have you done with Scott?

Colonel William Stryker:
Oh, don't worry. I'm just giving him a little re-education. Of course, you know all about that, don't you!?

Professor Xavier:
William, you wanted me to cure your son, but mutation isn't a disease...

Colonel William Stryker:
[hatefully] YOU'RE LYING! You were even more frightened of him than I was. You know, just one year after Jason returned from your 'school', my wife-! You see, he resented us, he blamed us for his condition, so he would toy with our minds, projecting visions and scenarios into our brains. Well, my wife, in the end she took a power drill to her left temple in an attempt to bore the images out. [contemptuously] My boy, the great illusionist!

Professor Xavier:
For someone who hates mutants... you certainly keep some strange company.

Colonel William Stryker:
Oh, they serve their purpose... as long as they can be controlled.

Professor Xavier:
You arranged the attack on the president.

Colonel William Stryker:
You didn't even have to read my mind. You know, I've been working with mutants as long as you have, Xavier... but the most frustrating thing I've learned is that nobody really knows how many even exist or how to find them - except you. Unfortunately this little potion won't work on you, will it? You're much too powerful for that. Instead we'll go right to the source. Allow me to introduce mutant 143. The fluid secreted by his brain acts as a mind-controlling agent.

[Stryker introduces Jason, his son bounded on a wheelchair, who is also a mutant]

William Stryker:
But that's only where it begins.

Professor Xavier:
Jason. Oh, my god, William, this is your son! What have you-

Colonel William Stryker:
NO, Charles! My son is dead! Just like the rest of you.

[While Stryker attempted to escape with his helicopter, Wolverine arrives and punches him. He then shoves Stryker to the helicopter and stabs him with his claws, screaming in pain.]

Logan/Wolverine:
How does it feel, bub?!

Colonel William Stryker:
[groans in pain] Why did you come back?

Logan/Wolverine:
You cut me open. You took my life!

Colonel William Stryker:
You make it sound as if I stole something from you? As I recall, it was you who volunteered for the procedure.

Logan/Wolverine:
Who am I?

Colonel William Stryker:
You... are just a failed experiment.

[Wolverine stabs Stryker further.]

Colonel William Stryker:
...If you really knew about your past, what kind of person you were? The work we did together? People don't change, Wolverine. You were an animal then. You're an animal now. I just gave you claws!

[The sound alarms the dam has began to collapse.]

Logan/Wolverine:
What the hell is that? What is it?!

Colonel William Stryker:
The dam's ruptured. It's gonna flood water into the spillway. It's trying to relieve the pressure. It's too late. In a few minutes, we'll all be underwater. Come with me, and I'll tell you everything you want to know. You can't help your friends. They're as good as dead, Wolverine. You're a survivor, always have been.

Logan/Wolverine:
Well. I thought I was just an animal... with claws. [extends his claws further to Stryker's face] If we die, you die! [grabs Stryker and chains him in the helicopter's landing gear.]

[Wolverine runs off.]

Colonel William Stryker:
There are no exits that way, Wolverine!!!
