X2: X-Men United2003

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.
