Quotes 

• Roberto : I'd rather minha mãe find out I'm a mutant than be caught dead playing that.

• Jubilee : "You would have the master of magnetism seen in a bar of childish make-believe?" Ugh! This is bogus. What's wrong with just one day where I don't have to freak out about the Professor, or Jean and her clone, or Cyclops and his latest control issue? They aren't even here because they just had to go play mutant politics at the United Nations.

  Roberto : Genosha entering the UN is a big deal.

  Jubilee : [scoffs]  Small fries. I'm the birthday Big Mac.

• Roberto : You actually do play video games? Uh, this might be make-or-break.

  Jubilee : The only people who hate video games are bad at video games.

• Jubilee : You know, it would be a lot easier if you just used your powers.

  Roberto : What if there's cameras around? My parents could see me on TV.

  [Friends of Humanity goons charge them, shouting, Die, mutie!] 

  Jubilee : Do you really think everyone is focused on you?

  Roberto : Yes.

• Jubilee : Duh! We are totally in a video game.

  Roberto : We're what?

  Mojo : Pay attention to the young lady. You're, like, totally in a video game. Love the totally. Just what I was hoping for. Classic Jubilee.

  Roberto : What in the name of all heaven is that?

  Mojo : Mojo here, your primetime psycho interdimensional alien TV producer who feeds off ratings. My greatest hit? Putting the X-Men through overly complicated death traps to entertain my slaves... Indentured audiences, sorry.

  Jubilee : Looks like you've been... dieting?

  Mojo : You noticed! Got some nip, some tuck. Actually, it's been a horrible third quarter and it shows, let's be real. Ratings are down, down, down, and I'm thirsty for the next big thing, dirty girl.

  [chuckles] 

  Mojo : That's why I made the pivot to video games. The future of mind-numbery! You're not just in a video game, honey. You're the star! Player numero uno of my first blockbuster release, where every level is based off your own memories.

• Roberto : And what if we refuse to play your game? What then? None of this is even real.

  Mojo : Well, I don't want to say something scary, like, "If you die in the game, you die in real life," but... Stakes.
