| Henry Gyrich |  Did you honestly think we'd roll over and let mutants take over our planet? That we wouldn't fight back?  |
| Storm | Yet your cruelty has only made humanity more sympathetic to our cause. |
| Henry Gyrich | Oh, did it? No, you're in vogue, Storm. A fad. "Look at my mutant friend." But under all that fashionable sympathy, the more room we make for your kind, the less we leave for ours. So we might wear tolerance on our sleeves, but we know the naked truth. Tolerance is extinction. |
