Every study has shown that genetic mutants, people like us, have very specific energy signatures… more powerful energy signatures. Think about it.

Conversations with Henry McCoy (Earth-616)Edit

Wolverine (to Hisako)	Quit whining, kid. I got eaten today.
Beast	Yes, about that...
Wolverine	Forget it.
Beast	I can't begin to apologize.
Wolverine	Pfft! That's what friends are for.
Beast	I'm fairly certain it's not.

— Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 #18

Armor	This isn't right. I'm a proper X-Man. I bet you wouldn't pick Logan up like this.
Beast	Hisako, I couldn't pick up Logan without doing myself a near-fatal mischief.
Armor	It's the beer.

— Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 #29

Henry Pym	We are rather impressive, aren't we?

— Avengers #335

Beast	And if I may, in the future, two words: Kill switch.
Charles Xavier	I didn't want one, Henry. I didn't want the program able to be overridden. I had to keep the gem safe from all comers.
Beast	One wonders what other secrets you and your Illuminati are keeping to yourselves?

— Avengers Vol 4 #10

Wolverine	The X-Men are here, and we're down to kick butt and take names!
Beast	I wouldn't put it so crudely!
Wolverine	Okay, Beastie – let us pummel these louts severely about the head and shoulders!

— Cable #16

Beast	What brings you to this neck of the woods, my once-feathered pal?
Archangel	Life. Women. Happiness. And the current lack of any of the above.

Beast (Hank McCoy)	Scott -- have you noticed that Bobby's behavior is a bit erratic? He doesn't seem to be himself.

Editor's Note	(in fact, Bobby had been replaced by an evil doppelganger, but it was a nice vote of confidence from Scott!)

Hank	Just tell me... why are we bothering? She doesn't need to be taught to control her powers! She's got plenty of control!
Bobby, discussing helping Boom Boom	Of her powers, yeah! But not the slightest shred of self-control!

Iceman (Bobby)	Listen, Boom-Boom! X-Factor isn't what you think it is! We have a place where mutants can come and be safe and learn to use their powers... ...where they won't have to live on the streets or rely on villains or thievery....
Boom-Boom	I heard about a school in Westchester... I tried to go there but they ignored me an'...an' scared me...an'... -sniff-

Beast (Hank) (mocking sing-song)	"You'll love it with us!"
Bobby	Cut it out, Hank! She needs us! There's a couple of kids a little older than you and a couple younger, already! Please come...?

Hank (to himself)	I'm going insane! That must be it!
Vera	Sure, Bobby! Just come by the store sometime! I give a special discount to politically-aware mutants!

— X-Factor #2

Bobby	Regardless of the method, you can't deny that we've accomplished a lot! We've saved at least two young mutants from an unbearable existence and taught them to use their powers wisely! Why don't you ask Rusty and Arthur how they feel about our set-up?
Hank	She has a valid argument, Bobby. Besides -- we all know that you'll do anything to keep from returning to your job as an accountant!
Bobby	Izzat so? Is everyone gettin' cold feet around here except the Iceman?

Beast (reciting a poem)	The heavens open wide and reply, 'Why not?'

— X-Men Vol 2 #11

Cyclops	I believe you people have something that belongs to us?
Gambit	Short li'l fella.
Jubilee	All adamantium and attitude. He's one of a kind. We'd like him back.

VariousEdit

Oh my stars and garters!

--Beast

The Avengers have the same unfortunate tendency as ordinary law enforcement. Once we have a perpetrator to hang the crime on, we look no further.

--Beast

For my part, I intend to die standing up. And singing the Marseillaise.

--Beast^[src]

It is not only better to give than to receive... it's safer!

--Beast^[src]

X-FactorEdit

Handsome men are always in demand, but I think I'll decline your kind invitation all the same.

--Beast^[src]

Why don't you go orally extract embryonic fluid from a hen's egg?

--Beast^[src]

Hank	(muffled) Mufflegarbleglab
Dr. Dannemann -- (X-Factor #3)	Please, Mister McCoy! Allow me to remove your dressings before you attempt to speak!

X-MenEdit

	There comes a time 'twixt life and death
	When all men stop to catch their breath.
	We ask the stars 'Why?', we question our lot,
Beast (reciting a poem, X-Men Vol 2 #11)	The heavens open wide and reply, 'Why not?'

Cecilia Reyes	Theoretical physics and basic anatomy. I'm impressed.
Beast	You should see me play Pictionary.
Cecilia Reyes	Sure, maybe after we get it ou -- *gasp* You -- You're an animal...?
Beast (referring to a character of The Muppet Show) -- X-Men Vol 2 #70	It's not 'animal,' miss, it's 'Beast' ... a 'Beast' which happens to know a thing or two about the dynamic application of nano-effusive devices. Animal is a Muppet.

New X-MenEdit

I'm going to write a paper when I relearn how to use a pen.

--Beast^[src]

Oh, I'm sorry, Officer Foster -- all humans look alike to me. It's all save this and save that...

--Beast (Responding to Officer Foster's question if he remembers saving he and his wife^[src]

Cyclops	But you're not gay. I know you're not gay, Hank.
Beast	So? I might as well be! I've been taunted all my life for my individualistic looks and style of dress... I've been hounded and called names in the street and I've risen above it.
Cyclops	Oh, for crying out loud, Hank. I love you, but you're officially on the road to apocalyptic mind loss. No one but you is going to find this funny.
Beast --New X-Men #134	Come on, I'm as gay as the next mutant! I make a great role model for alienated young men and women. Why not?

Never stopped me before, Jeannie. She was really upset after what you did to her, you know. You and Scott should have dealt with your marriage problems a long time ago, Jean.

--Beast (Responding to Jean Grey saying that piecing Emma Frost's pieces back together is impossible)^[src]

Astonishing X-MenEdit

Beast	If anything's happened to them, Agent Brand --
Agent Brand	You'll what? Eat me?
Beast	In fact I will. The new math, Agent. You're outnumbered and not well-liked. And I've recently acquired a taste for human flesh, I say with some embarrassment.
