- Charles' hilariously bad "mutations" pickup line. Particularly the second time around. Even funnier is that first time round it appears to be working! What makes it even more funny is that it's basically the same speech that (with Xavier narrating) opens the first X-Men movie, so it's essentially a Patrick Stewart Speech being used to pick up chicks.
- This little exchange between Mystique and Charles:
Mystique: I'm sleepy, will you read to me? |
- When Moira finds Xavier drinking a yard of ale after he had just read his thesis on mutations.
Moira: Congratulations. |
- When Charles convinces the Man in Black to come with them.
Professor Charles Xavier: Would you like to see another magic trick? |
- When the recruited mutants decide on their codenames.
Raven: I want to be called Mystique. |
Darwin: So what can you do, Alex? |
- Erik has plenty of these, strangely.
"Never looked better, man!" |
- "Don't touch my hair." Oh Charles...
- And later in the film: "I suppose I am a real professor now, aren't I? Next thing you know, I'll be going bald."
- Wolverine's cameo. Charles and Erik walk into a bar where he is having a drink, only for him to send them off with a single line.
- What makes it great is that, as a PG-13 film, they had exactly one "fuck" to use before bumping up the rating to an "R". So they gave it to Wolverine.
- Emma Frost uses her powers to make an illusion of herself for a Russian general to have sex with while they are "negotiating". Charles and Erik burst in and see the general making love to thin air, and the two of them share a prolonged, silent "WTF?" reaction.
- "Nice trick."
- Havok and Banshee get a few during the training montage, with the former making Charles rush for the fire extinguisher in a panic and getting knocked over by his power, and the latter failing to fly from a window and landing in the hedge, and then getting pushed (by Erik) off the top of a satellite dish.
- Doubly hilarious is the conversation just before he's pushed.
Banshee: *to Xavier* I trust you! |
- This bit afterwards:
Xavier: Erik! |
- And then later this scene comes back in an amusing way when Banshee is about to drop out of the Blackbird to locate Shaw's submarine (via sonar pulse), when he notices Erik is coming up behind him to the open bay doors. Clearly, getting pushed from a great height once by Erik was enough.
Banshee: Whoa! You back right off!

- And from the deleted scenes, Dragneto:
- Particularly Xavier's line immediately afterwards.
Erik: What? |
