Gambit and Bishop Quotes

The new Gambit and Bishop: Sons of the Atom miniseries is one of the best series of comics I've read so far. The two of them are pretty much polar opposites, and that calls for some pretty funny exchanges between them! Here's a selection of quotes from the books. I'll add more as the series comes out.

Bishop: LeBeau! If you don't get someone on that headset in the next FIVE SECONDS then DON'T BOTHER! We won't be ALIVE by the time any reinforcements ARRIVE!

Gambit: Don't you t'ink I KNOW dat?!

Gambit: The Morlock tunnels. My landin' might need some work, but at least my AIM is pretty accurate.

Bishop: Gambit...what EXACTLY was that all about? STRYFE was there! He has the PROFESSOR and the otehrs in his clutches! Our DUTY lies in LIBERATING them!

Gambit: True, it does--but that AIN'T gonna happen...not now. Dat power in you, cher...it SHOULDN'T be dere. You know dat...deep down, you know it's somethin' BAD. It's dat POWER dat Stryfe is after...and if I'm RIGHT, it may mean de END of all we know.

Bishop: But Stryfe...we can't just LEAVE the Professor, Kurt and Hank to be his...PLAYTHINGS.

GAMBIT: Look, it hurts me too knowin' dat Stryfe is up dere messin' wit' dere HEADS, but I ain't prepared to walk up into the lion's den an' give him EXACTLY what he wants...are YOU?

Bishop: No...what are you suggesting, Gambit?

Gambit: TRUST me, cher.

Bishop: You're joking, right?

Gambit: Hey are you sayin' you don't TRUST ol' Gambit?

Bishop: You don't TRULY want me to ANSWER that do you?

Gambit: Tell me dis ain't gonna be all sorts o' fun, cher. De ADVENTURE of a lifetime.

Bishop: One thing, Gambit.

Gambit: Name it.

Bishop: Stop calling me "cher".

Bishop: Now are you going to come clean and tell me ALL you know?

Gambit: Dis our stop, cher. Be patient, all will be made clear in due time. TRUST me.

Bishop: Somehow hearing you say those two words does NOT ease my anxiety in the least.

Bishop: You seem to have all the answers...yet I'm still as much in the DARK as the moment this madness all began. Well, I want answers, LeBeau...and I want them NOW!

Gambit: Patience, mon ami...patience. Jus' trust me a little longer on dis on an' ol' Remy will make everyt'ing clear, okay? 'Cause I've got a hunch--

Bishop: A HUNCH?! You mean to tell me that everything we've done so far has been on a HUNCH?! This is all a big JOKE to you, ISN'T it, LeBeau! You sit there smug like you know all the answers, but you DON'T, do you?

Gambit: Would you mind not creasin' de shirt? it's one of my favorites.

Bishop: Okay, NOW will you tell me what I am doing here in th emiddle of nowhere when the X-MEN'S LIVES are being threatened by STRYFE and GOD ONLY KNOWS what else?!

Gambit: But of COURSE, mon ami...but not yet.

Bishop: Gambit...one of us is NOT going to survive this partnership. One guess who that is gonig to be.

Gambit: Bishop, did you just make a JOKE? Must be rubbin' off on you more dan you care to admit, non?

Bishop: Kill me now.

Gambit: An' spoil all de FUN we're goin' to be havin'? So whadya t'ink? Ain't dis COOL, cher?

Bishop: I have to admit, LeBeau, it is indeed.

Gambit: I love dis place! It's got style...it's got character...it's--

Bishop: It's a graveyard, Gambit.

Bishop: A stairway that descends into absolute darkness. How reassuring. Why does Dante's verse "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" continue to run through my mind?

Gambit: Ah, a man who quotes de classics is a man after my own heart.

Bishop: YOU'VE read the classics?

Gambit: Nope. Just like to hear 'em quoted.

Bishop: LeBeau, you are perhaps the STRANGEST man I have ever met.

Gambit: You ain't gonna hear an argument outta ME.

Stryfe: Regardless of my reasons in seeking you out, X-Men, you will be made to remember WHO and WHAT I am! I am STRYFE! I am POWER!

Gambit: Dat's right mon ami, let's go an' make 'im all MAD like. Seems like de most REASONABLE t'ing to do when it's just de two o' us 'gainst one o' de X-Men's most dangerous bad guys. Got any more bright ideas floatin' 'round in dat dreadlocked head o' yours?

Bishop: Gambit--shut up!
