To Me, My X-Men (2024)

Todd Haberkorn: Henry Gyrich

Quotes 

• Henry Gyrich : Why would I know where Trask is?

  Storm : You helped fund his Sentinel program when you worked for the Defense Department.

  Cyclops : Gyrich, you're serving 25 years. You talk and I get it down to 10.

  Henry Gyrich : [whistles]  You mutants are moving up, making friends in high places. Though it's got to hurt, offering that deal to me. Those Sentinel upgrades really threw you.

  Storm : We merely hoped some humans had evolved beyond the past.

  Henry Gyrich : [scoffs]  Did you honestly think we'd roll over and let mutants take over the planet? That we wouldn't fight back?

  Storm : Yet your cruelty has only made humanity more sympathetic to our cause.

  Henry Gyrich : Oh, did it? No, you're in vogue, Storm. A fad. "Look at my mutant friend." But under all that fashionable sympathy, normal people know the more room we make for your kind, the less we leave for ours. So, we might wear tolerance on our sleeves, but we know the naked truth. Tolerance is extinction.

• Cyclops : Ten years, Gyrich. Yours to win or lose.

  Henry Gyrich : I won the day I shot the man you freak shows look up to. And you get an "A" for effort, Mr. Summers, but we both know you're no Charles Xavier.

  Cyclops : You're right. I'm not Charles Xavier. He'd reason with you. Be patient. He'd do everything in his power to save you.

  Henry Gyrich : Save me? From what, you?

  Cyclops : No. But have you met my wife?
