James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine

James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine
I'm the best there is at what I do but what I do best isn't very nice. I'm the Wolverine.
James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine
I'm coming for blood; no law, no code of conduct. You put me in the right direction, you get the hell out of my way.
James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine
[referring to the now-obese Blob]
That's Fred Dukes? That looks like the creature that ate Fred Dukes.
James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine
[sees a mute Wade]
Wade, is that you? Stryker finally figured out how to shut you up.

Guard
[cell door opens. Wolverine and Sabretooth are in shackles; an officer enters the cell and approaches them]
Freaks! You're animals! Freaks!
My name is Major William Stryker. You've been charged with killing a senior officer. Is that correct?
Apparently, we have some issues with authority...
Wolverine
Just keep a lid on it.
...sir.
The warden tells me that your sentence was carried out by a firing squad at 1000 hours. How'd that go?
Wolverine
It tickled.
What do you care?
Oh, I care. I care because I know how special you are. How valuable. Look, you can stay here locked up like freaks of nature, or you can join me. I'm putting together a special team with special privileges. Now, tell me, how would you like to really serve your country?
Great, stuck in an elevator with five guys on a high-protein diet.
Dreams really do come true.
Now just shut it! You're up next.
Thank you sir, you look really nice today. It's the green. It brings out the seriousness in your eyes.
Wolverine
Oh my God, do you ever shut up, pal?
No, not while I'm awake.
Bartender [sees Sabretooth carving a smiley face in the table with his nail]
You're not from around here, are you?
What gave me away?
Wolverine
[from outside]
VICTOR!
Bartender Insurance? No.
Too bad. [after Wolverine crashes through the front door] Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in.
Bartender Guys, whatever this is, take it outside.
Wolverine
[draws his claws in]
Why?
Why? You don't call, you don't write; how else am I supposed to get your attention?
Wolverine
[holding Stryker to the wall by the neck]
For six years I've been here. No one knew me and then you show up. The next day she's dead!
I tried to warn you.
Wolverine
Why didn't you tell me it was Victor?!
I–I didn't know.
Wolverine
[slams Stryker into another wall]
You lie!
I– I swear.... on my son's life I didn't- [Wolverine lets him go; he drops to the ground] Victor's appetites were becoming too public. I had to lock him up. He felt I betrayed him. He went AWOL, he said he was coming for all of us.
Wolverine
You didn't come to warn me. You came to save your own ass. [walking away]
So what's your plan, captain? You can't beat him, Logan. You know you can't.
Wolverine
I'll find him and kill him.
I can give you the tools to defeat him. [Wolverine turns] We can still save the others.
Wolverine
You mean save yourself, right?
I can promise you two things: You will suffer more pain than any other man can endure, but you will have your revenge.
Wolverine
I come with you, I'm coming for blood; no law, no code of conduct. You put me in the right direction, you get the hell out of my way.
When it starts, whatever the reason is that you're doing this, focus on that. Maybe it will help.
Wolverine
Trust me. I've been through worse.
No. You haven't.
[to Wolverine]
We're gonna make you indestructible. But first, we're gonna have to destroy you. You remember what we were looking for in Africa?
Wolverine
I remember.
Well, I found it, it helped us to create a metal compound so strong, that you'll be able to withstand virtually anything. It's called adamantium. I can't put Victor down myself, Logan, to kill him, you'll have to embrace the other side, become the animal.
Wolverine
Let's do this.
Oh, I almost forgot. [brings out Wolverine's old dog tags.]
Wolverine
I want new ones.
What do you want them to say?
Wolverine
Wolverine.
[Zero's helicopter has crashed after Wolverine cut off its rotor blades.] [On the radio]
Zero.
I'm down.
Zero, is he dead? Is Logan dead? Zero come in.
Wolverine
[speaks into the headphones]
You tried to kill me.
Logan?
Wolverine
Where's Victor?
Come back to base. I'll explain everything. We'll take Victor down together.
Wolverine
Wrong answer. After I kill Victor I'm coming for you. You wanted the animal, Colonel. You got it. [drops the headphones, addresses Zero] Those were good people back there. Innocent people.
[Zero just grins; Wolverine starts to walk away from the wrecked helicopter.] [laughs]
It's funny how good, innocent people tend to die around you!
[Wolverine stops walking and extends his claws, strikes the ground and ignites the fuel trail to the chopper, destroying it and killing Zero.]
Wolverine
Hey fat- uh, Fred. See, I remember that girl when she was about eighty-five pounds, eh? [referring to Fred's tattoo]
Oh, that's funny. You're still so funny, Logan.
Wolverine
You know where Victor is?
Wolverine
What's "the island", slim?
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Logan.
Wolverine
C'mon, could you tell me where Victor is, for old times' sake, bub.
Did you just call me "Blob"?
Wolverine
No, but–
HYAAAAAAAAAAA! [uses his indestructible skin and fat to bounce Wolverine off the ring and across the room]
I told you not to mention his weight. Why'dya call him Blob, man?
Wolverine
[on the floor]
I didn't call him Blob, I said "Bub"!
Wolverine
This is your idea of an idea? [holds up boxing gloves]
Tryin' to help you out, Logan. Dukes don't like you that much and you know it.
Wolverine
Yeah, feeling's mutual.
Then use those gloves, man. Dance with 'im a little bit. Allow him to let his anger out on ya. I figured if you'd do that he'd probably tell you everything you wanna know.
Wolverine
C'mon, man, look at him. Big ol' ass coming out the front of his shirt. Jesus, he'll have a coronary, for Christ's sake. Is there even a stretcher big enough to take this guy outta here?
[The bell rings. Blob hits Wolverine immediately.]
It ain't him I'm worried about gettin' outta here on a stretcher.
Wolverine
[grunting with pain]
You're an asshole.
Move his ass. Dance with 'em, Fred.
Oooh. what's that suppose to be? You wanna dance with me?
[Wolverine attacks Blob, punching him again and again; Blob stands there.]
Uhh! Oh, that was good. [Wolverine repeatedly punches him, to no effect] Hey, guess what? [Blob punches him, knocking Wolverine across the ring]
See you can talk now. We got him right where we wanted.
Wolverine
Whose side are you on, anyway?
Wolverine
[watching Gambit playing cards]
Are you Remy LeBeau?
Gambit
Do I owe you money?
Wolverine
No.
Gambit
Then Remy LeBeau I am. Large ones' a hundred and small ones' a fifty. May I deal you any?
Wolverine
Well, what do I get for seventeen bucks?
Gambit
Seventeen dollars [laughs]. A cab ride home, perhaps. So what brings you to our fair city? (starts dealing)
Wolverine
Victor Creed.
Gambit
[stops dealing and looks at Logan]
Now who's that?
Wolverine
He's the man I'm gonna kill. You see he works with a man named Stryker on an island.
Gambit
[becomes unnerved]
Now why do you think I know that?
Wolverine
'Cuz I know who you are, Gambit. You're the guy who escaped and you're the guy whose gonna take me back there.
Gambit
[Notices Wolverine's dog tags]
Those are some mighty nice tags you have on there sir. The man who took me had tags just like 'em.
Wolverine
Hey, now bub, you listen to me–
[Gambit's eyes glow bright red as he throws a kinetically charged card at Wolverine, knocking him into another table]
Wolverine
[After the brothers defeated Weapon XII]
This doesn't change anything between us Victor. We're done.
We could never be done, Jimmy. We're brothers. Brothers look out for each other. [jumps off the collapsing dam.]
Gambit
[Wolverine, who now lost his memory, runs to Silverfox's dead body and touches it with Gambit following.]
Do you know her?
Wolverine
No.
Gambit
[Gambit saw Stryker's reinforcements approaching. He then turns back to Wolverine.]
Bet these boys aren't gonna like what you did in this place. We really need to go.
Wolverine
I'll find my own way.
Gambit
Good luck.
[Gambit walks away as Logan closes Kayla's eyes on her body and escapes.]
