Quotes 

• Moira MacTaggert : [opens a CIA folder]  Ever since the world found out about mutants in '73, there have been cults who see them as some kind of second coming or sign of God. I was tracking one of them. They call themselves Ashir En Sabah Nur, named after an ancient being they believe to be the world's first.

  Alex Summers : World's first what?

  Moira MacTaggert : The world's first mutant.

  Alex Summers : I thought mutants didn't evolve till this century.

  Moira MacTaggert : That's the common theory, yes, but these guys believe that the first mutant was born tens of thousands of years ago and they believe he will rise again. They've been searching ancient sites all around the world for clues. These hieroglyphs describe the specific set of powers greater than any man can possess.

  Charles Xavier : Do you think he lived in all that time?

  Moira MacTaggert : Yes and no. They believe that he had the ability to transfer his consciousness from body to body and whenever he was close to death, he would just take on a new body. Some of these made with the bodies of mutants, enabling him to take their powers amassing various abilities over the years.

  Charles Xavier : An all-powerful mutant?

  Moira MacTaggert : Exactly. And wherever this being was, he always had four principle followers, disciples, protectors he would imbue with powers.

  Alex Summers : Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He got that one from the Bible

  Moira MacTaggert : Or the Bible got it from him? And wherever he ruled, eventually it would end in disaster, cataclysm, some kind of... apocalypse.

  Charles Xavier : The end of the world...

• Charles Xavier : We were hoping that you would tell us about what happened yesterday in Egypt.

  Moira MacTaggert : I'm afraid that's classified information. And I don't mean to be rude... but how did you get in here?

  Charles Xavier : I have level-five clearance.

• Moira MacTaggert : What are those?

  Charles Xavier : Those are all the humans of the world.

  [some turn red] 

  Charles Xavier : And these... are all the mutants. I'm connected to all of their minds.

  Moira MacTaggert : The CIA would kill for this.

  Charles Xavier : I know they would.

• Col. William Stryker : A psychic event just destroyed every nuke from here to Moscow. That event emanated from exactly where we found you. At the home of the world's most powerful psychic. So you are going to tell me, where is Charles Xavier?

  Moira MacTaggert : It's not him you should be worried about. There's someone else. Someone more powerful.

  Raven : If you let us out of here, we can help you.

  Col. William Stryker : Do you really expect me to believe that? You can put on any face that you want, but I know who you are. What you are.

• Moira MacTaggert : Charles, do you know where you are?

  Charles Xavier : I'm on a beach. In Cuba. With you.

  Moira MacTaggert : What beach?

  Charles Xavier : [restoring her memories]  I'm sorry. I should never have taken those from you.

• Charles Xavier : [entering Cerebro]  Moira, I'm going to have to ask you to keep this a secret.

  Moira MacTaggert : I don't even know what this is.

  Raven : It's Cerebro. The new model.
