Quotes by Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

No, Warren! Don't you see? All of this would just have been the start if you hadn't saved me. And if he took me, he can take others. Jean, the Cuckoos, Quentin, Emma Frost. Any one of them is like a psychic nuke, and he's going after them right now. I saw what he's planning. If he gets any of them... if he gets out...

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Yes, Brian. The price was high, but we did win. We know we won. We have time to mourn our dead.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Be quiet, Tom. I'm getting something... Wire...and sores and hunger and lice, Tom. My head's full of screaming people...and one of them's me!

It ends here, Sapphire! No more! No more souls!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

This is who I was. A last link to my life. Gone. A life that was ripped away from me a long time ago by one man. A man I thought I had made my peace with. I was wrong. Whatever mercy I had left in me burned away with that body. Whatever vestiges of Elizabeth Braddock that would spare him again are gone. Become now? Matsu'o Tsurayaba is going to die.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Matsu'o!! I chided one of the X-Men's students for showing mercy to a foe. I did not tell her that I had made that mistake once. With you. You too me, body and soul, and I still forgave you. Despite everything you did, I let you live. Now I realize my mistake. Now I correct it. Face me!!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Millions of souls were being consumed every second. There was no other way. And you know that. But you made me do it. So you get to stay the good guy.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

I'm sorry. I know now. I deserve to die.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

It isn't the morality of the mission that frightens me.. it is my elation at the opportunity to repay these devils.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Oh my God -- Bishop?! Is that really you? Did you just growl at us?

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Havok -- have you lost your senses?! Are you trying to kill us?!!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

You wanted to know, Alison... why we are necessary?! Here is the reason! People like her, mutants like ourselves -- for if we don't stand up to defend them, who will?!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

I am Lady Mandarin. Yield, warrior -- or suffer the consequences!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Why is it... you men always seem to talk in macho slogans?

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Here I go. Alone. Armed. Facing impossible odds. Crawling through a ventilation duct. As Jubilee would no doubt say: "... eat your heart out, Bruce Willis!"

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

This was my moment of ultimate truth, the final confrontation in the ring between matador and bull where both know that only one will survive. I knew that would be me... right up until the moment I died.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

You should have told me. You. I shouldn't have heard about this from anyone else.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

He's not mad, Ororo. He's infuriating and prideful and egomaniacal and secretive... but he's also right. We can't bury our heads in the sand and wait for this to be over.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Lord... blind me! N-No look at all of them! This is what Akkaba wants. They want me to be afraid... to call out to... Warren -- Warren... Archangel... I'm sorry... but I need you!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Looking for your teleporter? This challenge is to the death, remember? So how 'about we see just how good you really are?

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

My telepathy's gone, Storm...had to shut down to contain the Shadow King. Everything's quiet in my mind...

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Moments like this, I start to agree with Rogue. The world hates us so much, the hell with it. Who needs the X-Men, anyway?

Conversations with Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Psylocke	Aren't we obligated to whine and fret and come up with one reason after another why we shouldn't be together?
Archangel	Of course. And I should reveal I'm your uncle's clone from another reality... and you're supposed to die and come back to life a few dozen times.

— Uncanny X-Men #319

Psylocke	Mind you, I can't help thinking, if resurrections are all the rage...shouldn't we be counting the days until you-know-who returns from the white-hot you-know-where to reclaim her dear old husband? Won't that be fun? Oh dear, late for my medical, must run -- toodles, Emma darling!
White Queen	Next time, do us all a favor Elisabeth -- stay dead.

— Uncanny X-Men #460

Magneto	So... in effect, you swapped 5,000 human lives for one mutant one. That's regrettable. But when there's less than 200 mutants on the planet, I can live with that.
Psylocke	You mons--
Magneto	Please, Betsy. You're on a secret assassination squad. You've long lost the right to judge me.

— Uncanny X-Men Vol 2 #5

Psylocke	Wow.
Archangel	You were expecting a McDonald's, Ms. Braddock?

— X-Men Vol 2 #29

Psylocke	Who could have done something like that to us -- and why?!
Spiral	The answer to that one darling Elisabeth, my old friend... is more than happy to extend a helping hand... or six!

— X-Men Vol 2 #31

Psylocke	Nicely done, Pixie. Now get out of here before someone sees--
Pixie	Sihal novarum chinoth!
Psylocke	Right.
