Quotes 

• William Stryker : You know, I'm not proud about the way things ended between us.

  Logan : Conversation's over.

  [bumps past Stryker] 

  William Stryker : Playing Little House on the Prairie with a... schoolteacher, I mean, that just isn't *you,* Logan.

  Logan : [turns around]  And you would know, huh?

  William Stryker : I would.

  Logan : What do you want, Stryker?

  [Stryker shows Logan the front page of a newspaper with Bradley's picture on it; the title says, "Circus Freak Killed"] 

  William Stryker : Bradley was killed three days ago.

  [Logan stares at the paper] 

  William Stryker : Wade before that. I believe that someone is hunting down our old team.

  Logan : [looks up at Stryker]  Anyone else?

  William Stryker : As far as I know, Victor is safe. But whoever it is has names, addresses.

  Logan : I can take care of myself.

  [gets into his truck] 

  William Stryker : This is not about you, Logan.

  [walks up to the driver's side and looks in the window] 

  William Stryker : Your country needs you.

  Logan : I'm Canadian.

  [drives away] 

  William Stryker : I know you, Logan! I know who you *are*!

• Wade Wilson : Great. Stuck in an elevator with five guys on a high-protein diet.

  William Stryker : Oh, Wade.

  Wade Wilson : Dreams really do come true.

  William Stryker : Just shut it! You're up next.

  Wade Wilson : Thank you, sir. You look really nice today. It's the green. It brings out the seriousness in your eyes.

  Logan : Oh, my God. Do you ever shut up, pal?

  Wade Wilson : No. Not when I'm awake.

• Wade Wilson : Okay. People are dead.

  William Stryker : If you didn't have that mouth of yours, Wade, you'd be the perfect solider.

  [Wade gives a sarcastic salute to Stryker] 

• William Stryker : I have a job for you.

  Logan : I already have a job.

  David North : Lumberjack? Eighteen grand a year?

  Logan : Eighteen five. Plus I haven't had to kill anybody.

  David North : Miss it?

  Logan : Right about now I am.

  David North : Yeah?

  William Stryker : Zero, back to the car.

  Logan : [nods to the car as Zero keeps looking at him]  Atta boy.

  [clicks tongue. Zero goes to the car] 

• Logan : [holding Stryker in a chokehold to the wall]  For six years I've been here, no one knew me. And then you show up, and the next day she's dead!

  William Stryker : I tried to warn you.

  Logan : Why didn't you tell me it was Victor?

  William Stryker : I didn't know!

  Logan : [slams him against the wall]  Bullshit! Why?

  William Stryker : I swear on my son's life, I didn't!

  [Logan releases his grip on him] 

  William Stryker : Victor's appetite was 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.

  Logan : You didn't come to warn me, you came to save your own ass.

  [walks off] 

  William Stryker : So what's your plan, Captain? You can't beat him, Logan, you know you can't!

  Logan : I'm gonna go find him and kill him.

  William Stryker : I can give you the tools to defeat him.

  [Logan stops and turns to look at Stryker] 

  William Stryker : And we can still save the others.

  Logan : You mean save yourself, right?

  William Stryker : I promise you two things: You will suffer more pain than any other man can endure. But you will have your revenge.

  Logan : I come with you, I'm coming for blood. No law, no code of conduct. You point me in the right direction, you get the hell out of my way.

• William Stryker : [over the helicopter radio]  Zero, is Logan dead?

  Agent Zero : [shaken]  I don't know. I'm down.

  William Stryker : Zero, is he dead? Is Logan dead?

  [Logan approaches the wreck and glares at Zero, who is trapped in the cockpit next to the dead pilot] 

  William Stryker : Zero, come *in*!

  [Logan reaches over and takes Zero's headphones] 

  Logan : [speaking into the headphones]  You tried to kill me.

  William Stryker : Logan?

  Logan : Where's Victor?

  William Stryker : Come back to base. I'll explain everything. We'll take down Victor together.

  Logan : Wrong answer. After I kill Victor, I'm coming for you.

  William Stryker : [sits down nervously]  Logan, listen to me. If you go down this road, you're not gonna like what you find.

  Logan : You wanted the animal, Colonel. You got it.

  [hangs up on Stryker and glares at Zero] 

  Logan : Those were good people back there. Innocent people.

  [Zero chuckles weakly as Logan turns and walks away from the wreckage] 

  Agent Zero : It's funny how good, innocent people tend to die around you!

  [Logan extends his Adamantium claws and strikes the ground, igniting a trail of petrol, destroying the wreckage and killing Zero] 

• William Stryker : We're going to make you indestructible - but first, we're gonna have to destroy you. You remember what we were looking for in Africa?

  Logan : I remember.

  William Stryker : 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.

  Logan : Let's do this.

  William Stryker : Oh, I almost forgot...

  [hold up Logan's dog tags] 

  Logan : I want new ones.

  William Stryker : What do you want them to say?

  Logan : Wolverine.

• William Stryker : Mutants. I don't hate them, I just know what they can do. You don't realize this, but we are at war. I took an oath: Protect this country. My name is William Stryker, and I am not a monster. I am simply a patriot.

• William Stryker : You were sentenced for decapitating a senior officer. The warden tells me that your sentence was carried out by a firing squad at 1000 hours. How'd that go?

  Logan : It tickled.

  William Stryker : My name is Major William Stryker. You boys tired of running? Tired of denying your true nature? Tired of wars?

  Victor Creed : Why do you care?

  William Stryker : Oh, I care. I care because I know how valuable you are. I'm putting together a special team, with special privileges. So tell me, after defending this country for 150 years and 4 wars, how would you like to really serve your country?

  William Stryker : Welcome to the war.

• [from trailer] 

  William Stryker : Mutants. They have a purpose. They must be controlled. That's just the beginning.

• William Stryker : Fred!

  Frederick J. Dukes : The tank?

  William Stryker : The tank.

  Frederick J. Dukes : Yeah, I got it!

• William Stryker : You could never survive the adamantium bonding...

  Victor Creed : Whatever you did to him, I can take it!

• William Stryker : All the horrible things in your life... Your father, the wars, I can make all this go away. You can live knowing that the woman you loved was hunted down, or you can join me. I promise you will have your revenge.

• William Stryker : Logan isn't the only piece of this puzzle.

• William Stryker : Activate Weapon 11!

• William Stryker : Hunt him down.

• Agent Zero : Weapon X is in the barn. He's just murdered two civilians.

  William Stryker : Blow him to bits. Let's see if he can survive that.

• William Stryker : We're gonna make you indestructible, but first we're gonna have to destroy you. You remember what we were looking for in Africa?

  Logan : I remember.

  William Stryker : Well, I found it. It helped us 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're gonna have to embrace the other side... become the animal.

  [holds up Logan's dog tags] 

  Logan : I want new ones.
