Quote1.png I know everybody's worried about me, Hank. Everybody thinks the Phoenix Force is turning me into some kind of cosmic destroyer, but it's not like that. I have trouble with the rushes, but I'm okay, really. I think I can make things right here. This isn't the first time Emma's been disembodied. So I'm thinking I could maybe fuse the diamond molecules together telekinetically. Maybe I'm over-reaching... Can you think of a pink door opening, Hank? Thanks. Okay. I'm reading all those medical textbooks from your memory. I wouldn't want to put her heart in the wrong place. She loves him, Hank. Emma has actually fallen in love with my husband.

Other QuotesEdit

Quote1.png Once upon a time, I died. And like my namesake I got better. Quote2.png



Jean Grey
Oh My God. I can feel your pulse through the Stainless steel.
Conversation Tail.png
Charles Xavier
Jean…. Telekinetic Sensitivity this extreme is known as “The Manifestation of the Phoenix” By neuro-mystical surgeons of the Shi’ar Space Empire.
Conversation Tail.png
Charles Xavier
The x-men underwent Great trails and Loss during a previous rogue Phoenix Manifestation on this planet. People died. No one wants anything like that to happen again, Jean.
Conversation Tail.png

Conversation Tail.png
Charles Xavier

Only the ones you don’t need in the Light.
Conversation Tail.png
Quote1.png It’s not a Place. It’s how it feels to be the last hope ….. And to know you’ll win against all the odds. It’s the wing of the Phoenix touching your heart with flame.. Quote2.png
--The Phoenix force manifesting through Jean Grey.


Quote1.png Mind over Matter? Think back to all that processed food you ate today to help calm your nerves. I’m thinking about it right now. I’m thinking about moving it up. And moving it down. I don’t want you to get hurt. But you have to understand… The more you annoy me the more I can’t help thinking about deconstructing you, molecule by molecule, memory by memory… Until there’s nothing left but screaming traumatized atoms. So don’t patronize me. Don’t threaten me. And don’t ever endanger any of my students again. Don’t even think about it, or I’ll know. Quote2.png
--Jean Grey against the u-men.


Quote1.png Don’t talk, Logan… telepathy conserves oxygen. Let me tell you what I know about the Phoenix.

Quote2.png



Quote1.png When I was thirteen, I realized I could control matter with my mind … just crude stuff at first …. Lifting things and throwing them across the room. Then it progressed with the Professor’s help, until I was manipulation dozens of objects at once. Now I’m learning to move molecules around and expand my senses beyond all boundaries.

Quote2.png



Quote1.png “The Phoenix burns away what doesn't work. It eats planets and stars. It talks to me. And if I get too close it... it replaces me.”

Quote2.png



Quote1.png …Is Scott there…? Scott…. I had to watch it all changing … had to let him go … because what love says … because the Phoenix burns and disinfects … and dies to return… Quote2.png
--Jean to Logan


Quote1.png You did it Logan … you released the Phoenix consciousness. I used the disintegrating asteroid and the sun’s energy to build and power our transport. Total telekinetic control of matter at the molecular level. I had to die to come back, Logan. Quote2.png
--Jean grey to the Healing Logan AKA Wolverine.


Quote1.png But I don’t know how long they’ll let me stay. Quote2.png
--After Logan stabbed her and unleashed the Phoenix Consciousness.

Quote2.png



Quote1.png You may have caught me unawares once, But did you expect to catch me so carelessly again? I am one of this world’s most preeminent telepaths. I can assure you, you’ll never touch the mind of an X-man again.

Quote2.png



Quote1.png You heard him. We’re the X-men. Everybody’s thinking nice, calm thoughts now, Ok?”

Quote2.png



Quote1.png You should have more faith in Gambit, Cable. It’s a good plan. And more faith in me to pull it off. I know Nathan means well. But I’m no novice. I might even be able to teach him a thing or two about the art of psychic combat. TRANSITION TO THE ASTRAL PLANE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. WHILE I LEAVE MY PHYSICAL FORM BEHIND, MY TELEPATHY WILL ALLOW ME TO DO VIRTUALLY ANYTHING... Jean talks to Cable as she prepares for a telepathic battle on the astral plane.

Quote2.png



Quote1.png It’s not the telekinesis; Logan told me you manifested a Phoenix raptor display when the u-men attacked the school. Jean, you know what happened last time you lost control of these enormous thoughts and emotions of yours. Quote2.png
--Cyclops to Jeannie


Quote1.png ‘Do I look like I’m losing control? These are different time Scott, Everything is different. Charles is right, we can’t afford to be ashamed any more. We can’t strap down our wings or hide our strange eyes and our brilliant minds… Quote2.png
--Jeannie to Cyclops.


Discussing new outfit

Jean to Cyclops.
Is this what you think, I am?! The evil omnipotent firebird that consumes your thoughts?
Conversation Tail.png
Cyclops telepathically speaking to Jean.
‘If you know my thoughts, Jean… Then you know I want you to come back down here and talk about this with me.’
Conversation Tail.png
Jean.
You didn’t “Talk” to me a minute ago. You yelled.
Conversation Tail.png
Scott
Jean come back inside. Do you know how many people probably just saw that Phoenix effect?
Conversation Tail.png
Jean
Who cares?
Conversation Tail.png
Scott
I care. We both do. We came here for a new chance, a chance at normal lives. Come back in. Let’s not make a scene.
Conversation Tail.png
Scott
Let me start by saying I’m sorry
Conversation Tail.png
Jean
You should be. I thought we came further than you screaming at me just because I mane a new costume.
Conversation Tail.png
Scott
With all due respect. You made an old costume, one that I can’t
Conversation Tail.png
Scott
Jean we share a psionic link. You’re in my mind. You’ve seen my thoughts. You know that I saw you, or at least the woman that I thought was you… Reborn.. In that costume, corrupted and killed in that costume. After what happened with the Professor and Onslaught…. You’re a telepath, too, Jean. And we don’t know the limits and dangers of your powers any more than we did Charles’. Are you certain there’s no more to this than a new costume?
Conversation Tail.png
Jean
I’m sure Scott. This isn’t about causing you, or anyone else pain.. It’s about ending you mine. I do see your thoughts. Ones maybe you aren’t even consciously aware of. You constantly remember Phoenix, Scott. And Madelyn Pryor. There are all these Negative images of women who you thought were me at various times. And all their memories are marching around you mind wearing this outfit. But I’m here with you. I’m standing right in front of you, and I’m tired if their ghosts. I claimed the name “Phoenix” as part of a plan to claim this identity. To empower myself. I’m tired of suppressing my abilities because I’m afraid that exploring them might upset you.
Conversation Tail.png
Jean
I want to be all I’m capable of being, and convince you that I can do that without becoming some nightmare woman in the process.
Conversation Tail.png
