Quotes 

• [Angel enters through the living room window. Warren Worthington II is waiting for him] 

  Warren Worthington II : This has to stop.

  Warren Worthington III : I've grown really tired of this conversation.

  Warren Worthington II : You've got the MRD hunting some phantom vigilante in the skies! You're gonna get yourself killed!

  Warren Worthington III : Then that would solve all of your problems, wouldn't it, Father?

  [Angel walks out] 

  Warren Worthington II : Warren!

• [Warren II is in an elevator, still stressed from his meeting with Senator Kelly. The door opens to an angry Warren III] 

  Warren Worthington III : Now, you've gone too far!

  [Warren II ushers Warren III into a boardroom] 

  Warren Worthington II : I'm sorry. I didn't want you to find out this way. Listen to me...

  Warren Worthington III : It's not enough you use our money to help the MRD hunt down innocent mutants, now you want to wipe them out completely with this - this cure?

  Warren Worthington II : Wipe them out? I'm helping them to become normal again. Don't you want to be normal, Warren?

  Warren Worthington III : Not your definition of it!

  Warren Worthington II : But all the money, the years of research, it was all for you.

  Warren Worthington III : No, it wasn't! It has always been for you! I was your shame, your disgrace! Don't you dare put this on me!

  Warren Worthington II : You don't understand, son, because you're sick. This cure

  Warren Worthington III : [takes off his coat and spreads his wings]  I don't need a cure, because this is not a disease! I won't let you do it, do you hear me?

  [leaves the building to shocked onlookers] 

• [Wolverine tackles Archangel away from Warren Worthington II] 

  Wolverine : Angel, this ain't the way!

  [Archangel shoves him off] 

  Archangel : What do you know, Wolverine?

  Wolverine : Cause I've been where you are. Look at me. I wasn't born like this.

  Archangel : But you didn't lose anything!

  Wolverine : I lost EVERYTHING! My past, my memories, I'll never get them back!

  Archangel : I know and, if you had the chance, you'd go after the people who did it to you.

  Wolverine : That's because I'm a monster, kid! You're not! Hurting your father won't help. Now, listen...

  Archangel : I'M THROUGH LISTENING!

  [hurls feather-shaped darts] 

• [Ororo opens the front door of X-Men Manor to find a shivering Warren] 

  Ororo Munroe : Warren!

  [cut to Beast's lab; Ororo sits next to Warren on an examination table; Warren is draped in a blanket; Logan enters] 

  Logan : How is he?

  Dr. Hank McCoy : [looks at Warren's x-ray]  His injuries are serious. Angel, all things considered, you shouldn't have left the hospital.

  Warren Worthington III : I... I couldn't stay there. Not after... Just tell me, will they grow back?

  Dr. Hank McCoy : [groans]  Given time, perhaps.

  [looks back at the x-ray] 

  Dr. Hank McCoy : But... it's like losing a limb, and...

  [frowns; Warren shuts his eyes sadly] 

  Ororo Munroe : Warren, right now, what's important is that you heal.

  [Warren stands up and turns his back] 

  Ororo Munroe : Everything else can wait.

  Dr. Hank McCoy : She's right. We'll take care of you here.

  Warren Worthington III : Someone came to me. He said he could give me back my wings.

  [the blanket falls off his back] 

  Logan : This magician got a name?

  Warren Worthington III : Essex.

  Logan : Sinister. Come on, Angel, you know better than that. He's bad news!

  Warren Worthington III : He knows mutant DNA better than anyone!

  Dr. Hank McCoy : [takes off his glasses]  That's because he harvests it by force in his barbaric attempts to create the perfect mutant!

  [places a comforting hand on Warren's shoulder] 

  Dr. Hank McCoy : He's an evil man.

  Logan : And helping you is the last thing on his mind.

  Warren Worthington III : But I can't live like this!

  Logan : I understand that, but Sinister is not the answer.

• [night; Warren's wings have been removed from his body; he lies facing down on a hospital bed with his arms shackled to either side] 

  Sinister : Angel. A-a-a-a-angel. Poor, poor fallen Angel. I've heard your cries, and I've come to help.

  Warren Worthington III : [struggles against his shackles]  Who are you?

  Sinister : Just someone who can restore what's been taken from you.

  Warren Worthington III : Tell me your name!

  Sinister : Nathaniel Essex.

  Warren Worthington III : Sinister.

  Sinister : [steps into the light]  So, you've heard of me. Then you know I can do what I promise.

  Warren Worthington III : Nurse. Nurse!

  Sinister : [steps back into the shadows]  If you want your wings back, you need only ask.

  [Warren's arms have been unshackled and he sits up on the bed; Sinister is nowhere to be seen] 

• Warren Worthington III : Hey, guys. You haven't been waiting long, I hope. I took the scenic route.

  Dr. Hank McCoy : Understandable.

  Wolverine : We called because we got us a problem, Angel.

  Warren Worthington III : And what kind of problem?

  Wolverine : It's your old man.

  Dr. Hank McCoy : You see, there's been some troubling news out of Worthington Pharmaceuticals.

  Wolverine : We hear they're only months away from a cure.

  Warren Worthington III : From what?

  Wolverine : Mutants.

  Dr. Hank McCoy : Supposedly, it will suppress the X-Gene and return us to the way we were before our powers manifested.

  Wolverine : I don't get it. How can a guy hate mutants so much when his own son is--?

  Warren Worthington III : That is the problem, Logan. Having a mutant for a son.

  Dr. Hank McCoy : Angel, wait. We need to discuss our options before we...

  Warren Worthington III : No, I'll deal with it, Hank.

  Wolverine : Not liking the sound of that.
