Don' know why I'm tryin' to live up to your example. Even Stormy knows I ain't got it in me. Funny, non? Gambit's gone and put hisself in the wrong fucking position. He ain't got a chance in Hell of makin' it work. I wish you were back, homme. Just come home and Remy'll do anythin' you want. Kill Mystique. Lick your shoes. Make you up a nice spicy bowl of chili.
