In chronological order, here are a bunch of Pyro quotes (from most, but not all, of his appearances---in some issues he had no lines or they were really pointless).
All single quotations with no credited speaker are his.
Mystique: “Rogue! Why are you dressed like that?! This isn't a party!”
Rogue: “Oh, yes it is! It's my Saturday night! Hey Pyro. Lookin' hot tonight!”
Pyro: “Get away from me, chickie. We're on a job.”
Rogue: “Oh, excuse me! Well, if you don't want to, I'll find someone who does!”
---Marvel Fanfare 60
“I'll head to my post. You got your hands full, Mystique. She's a corker tonight.”
---Marvel Fanfare 60
Pyro: “Mystique told us you'd be a problem, darlin'. Kinda makes the fight more interesting, don'tcha think?”

---Marvel Super-Heroes v.2 #11
Blob: “Hey, Ray, you helped me bust outta the joint, ya got me threads, bread, a classy pad---fer that I'm grateful. I just don't take orders from a broad.”
Pyro: “Well lah-dee-dah, chunky. You think you can do better?”
Blob: “Blow it out your Union Jack, limey. This is between me an' —Yeeeow!”
Pyro: “Watch your mouth, and remember your place, or the next time you light a match…I'll create a demon that will par-broil, instead of scare, you.”
---Uncanny X-Men 141
“So, Colossus, you've the power to transform yourself into some form of metal. I wonder; can that metal melt?”
---Uncanny X-Men 142
“Tsk. Tsk. A bad move, gentlemen---using fire against one who can shape those flames into anything he chooses…and then turn them against you. I trust you all have adequate pensions. Your families will soon need them.”
---Uncanny X-Men 142
“What's your precog talent show us, luv? Will we pull this caper off?”
----Avengers annual 10
Blob: “I gotta hand it to ya, Misty. You said you'd bust us outta stir, an' you did it!”
Avalanche: “If that compliment doesn't make Mystique's day, Blob, I don't know what will.”
Pyro: “A valiant try, Avalanche, but I fear such irony is lost on our corpulent comrade.”
---Avengers annual 10
“Quite so, chum. We are none of us lightweights. Especially---dare I say it---the Blob!”
---Avengers annual 10
“Give me a few more seconds to collect me wits, Destiny, an' I'll fry those sanctimonious yobbos.”
---Avengers annual 10
Pyro: “These guards will sleep for hours---but we're still in prison!”
Mystique: “Come now, Pyro---can you not distinguish between incarceration and liberation? Rogue and I infiltrated this prison hours before your arrival to ensure your escape.”
Rogue: “Mystique's plan worked like a charm.”
Pyro: “Except we spent months on Ryker's Island waiting to be freed.”
---Rom 31
Blob: “Y'know, it's bad enough havin' ta take orders from a freak like Mystique, Rogue---but I'll be burned if I'm gonna take 'em from you!”
Pyro: “You just might be burned, Blob---in the living flame of Pyro! Unless you shut up and do as you're told!”
---Rom 31
Rogue: “Him!”
Pyro: “Who is he??”
Blob: “Who cares, s' long as he don't get in our way!”
Rom: “I am Rom, Spaceknight. And you…?”
Pyro: “We, my silver friend, are three of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and you stand between us and our sole means of escape from Windust Prison! Now will you step aside, or must I melt you where you stand?!”
---Rom 31
Rogue: “Pyro! The guards are trainin' their rifles on us!”
Pyro: “Have no fear, Rogue my dear---they'll soon find their weaponry too hot to hold!”
---Rom 31
Pyro: “Get back, Blob! You're accomplishing nothing against our armored antagonist---except wasting the precious seconds we need to get out of here!”
Blob: “Now you're tellin' me what to do, Hotshot? I oughtta…”
Pyro: “You ought to mind your mouth, you corpulent clod! What is your strength, your immovability---compared to the living flame of Pyro?!?”
Blob: “Look out, limey! You've singed my shoulder! Yeeow!”
Rogue: “Stop fightin' among yourselves! We gotta get to the transport!”
Pyro: “And so we will, Rogue my lovely---just as soon as my fiery hand melts our opponent into so much silver slag!”
---Rom 31
“M-my fire---snuffed out as if it never existed! N-nobody's ever done that to me before! I've never felt such agonizing pain!”

---Uncanny X-Men 177
Blob: “Destiny! You're s'posed ta know these things, woman! Howcum you didn't warn us they were comin'?”
Pyro: “Our voluminous colleague has a point, Destiny.”
---Uncanny X-Men 178
“Crikey! I never imagined the weather-witch could pull a stunt like this. It's raining so hard I can hardly stand! She's setting off lightning to dazzle us---an' thunder right about our heads, making it impossible to concentrate. I'm not sure I can even maintain my flame, much less do anything with it.”
---Uncanny X-Men 178
“Don't need the new gal for that, boss. Let Pyro do it! His magnetic powers are of no use against my living flame! The orders are to take you alive, cobber. So either you behave yourself or I close my fire-claw---and fry you where you stand!”
---Uncanny X-Men 199
“I'm on `em, boss-lady! It's a real treat, workin' with somebody who can tell the future---makes life so much easier, y'know?”
---Uncanny X-Men 199
“Avalanche, you great thump, look what'cha done! Good guys don't make messes...we clean `em up! [....]
This'll take care of the blaze. Lucky for us, no one was in the cars or the house---or our new career as heroes would be dumped before it's properly begun!”
---Uncanny X-Men 206
“No sensation quite like this…flames slidin' across my skin, roarin' through my heart. […] Pyro plays with fire, folks---but he never gets burned! Not too shabby, eh, Storm? You're the weather witch. Top this---if you can. If you dare!”
---Uncanny X-Men 206
Avalanche: “Now what, bright boy?”
Pyro: “How the heck should I know?! Mystique's the boss---we never should have attempted this caper without her.”
---Uncanny X-Men 206
“You've made your last move, Storm. Game, set an' match to us!”
---Uncanny X-Men 206
“Open flame, Collins, is what I control…”
---X-Factor 8
Blob: “Hey, Pyro, you pansy! Light up my life a little! The girl's interferin' with Rusty's arrest! Burn her!”
Pyro: “If you wish, Blob, though as we noted earlier, the girl doesn't burn!”
---X-Factor 9
The Wasp: “We've read up on you. Without your arms free to weave your spells---you're open to attack!”
Pyro: “As are you, my turtledoves---or have you forgotten?”
---Avengers annual 15
Pyro: “Give it up, Iron Man! I don't want to have to hurt you!”
Iron Man: “Funny, I was just about to say the same thing to you, Pyro.”
Pyro: “I can keep making it hotter and hotter, Avenger, until—”
Iron Man: “Until I get close enough to disconnect your flamethrowers, Pyro?”
Pyro: “They only create a flame for me to command. Once it exists, I can do anything with it—like make you beg me to turn down the heat.”
---Avengers annual 15
Pyro: “He's stopped in his tracks. Thank heaven!”
Spiral: “Thank Spiral, Pyro.”
Pyro: “Aye, partner. That I do!”
---Avengers annual 15
Mystique: “Perfect. Just what we need, a pair of over-the-hill, second-string, retread, World War II 'heroes'. I must say, Val, this selection's on a par with the last recruit you sent us, Spider-Woman.”
Pyro: “Sort'a makes one wonder which side you're on, y'know?”
---Uncanny X-Men 223
“Y'ask me, boss, my old gran in Woolamaloo could take these two.”
---Uncanny X-Men 223
Crimson Commando: “We, all of us, have flaws, Mystique, and weaknesses. But isn't the purpose of a team---and teamwork---to compensate for them? To make the whole greater---and deadlier---than the sum of its parts?”
Pyro: “You're a cocky old codger, chum. But don't forget…you're the new lads. You want a place with us, you earn it.”
---Uncanny X-Men 223
Kid: “Hold me tight, Cissy. Don't look. It'll be over real quick.”
Pyro: “Right you are, laddie-buck---O chum of little faith---but not the way you think! Y'see, all Pyro requires is the smallest flash o' flame. I have absolute control over it. I can make it any size…any shape…any intensity. [...] Sorry for the mess, cobber. Couldn't be helped, y'know. Nice set o' bones, though. Got a museum here`bouts could use `em?”
Longshot: “Thank you, Pyro. You saved us.”
Pyro: “That I did, an' in fine style, too!”
Kid: “But how--?! Who are you people?!”
Pyro: “I'm part o' Freedom Force, little miss...an' my mate's an X-Man.”
---Uncanny X-Men 226
Pyro: “Commando---Freedom Force---everyone---”
Crimson Commando: “What is it, Pyro?!”
Pyro: “---we got pictures…on Manoli's video monitors! Reception ain't the greatest…”
---Uncanny X-Men 227
Cannonball: “Look, we don't blame you for defending Forge! We're not so hot on Magik's plan ourselves!”
Pyro: “You're not, eh? Fancy that! Then why fight us?”
---New Mutants 65
Government official: “Buc---er, Battle Star---you're the only one here who has encountered Resistants---”
Pyro: “Yeah---and got yer butt trashed!”
---Captain America 346
Pyro: “And furthermore, Judge Blob, I contend that the defendant, Pietro Quicksilver, whatever his last name is, can't be considered an evil mutant just because he once belonged to the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants…”
Stonewall: “Objection, your Honor!”
Pyro: “Objection? What are you objectin' to, mate?”
Stonewall: “Huh? Well, on L.A. Law.... Now wait a minute! This is a fake trial! I can object to whatever I blamed well want!”
Pyro: “Simmer down, Stonewall!”
Blob: “Order!! Order in the court! You guys keep acting up an' I'll sit on ya!”
---Captain America 346
“You idiot! You unmitigated idiot! You knocked `em all out! That wasn't the plan! They were supposed to get away so we could follow `em back to their headquarters! Man, are you going to get reamed for this!!”
---Captain America 346
Blob: “Thanks, Pyro.”
Pyro: “No worries, mate?”
Blob: “Not a one! I'll see youse at the meeting spot.”
---Marvel Comics Presents 41
“Why in heck don't the bleedin' rebel mutants just go on an' register up and get it over with?”
---Daredevil 269
Blob: “That Spiral sure is sexy---till she opens her mouth. She treats us like babies!”
Pyro: “So what now, so she's a stiff little twit. Let's have us some fun, why not? Shootin' practice! I'll have this grindy ol' flea-bitten dog town knowin' right who's arrived!”
---Daredevil 269
Blob: “Hey, lemme lookit that chick again. Oh, yeah! She's my girl!”
Pyro: “Sure is pretty.”
Blob: “I think I love her!”
Pyro: “Yup. Right fine. I'd like the luv to show me what her mutant talent is, `ey what? Hyuk yuk!”
Blob: “Hey! Don't get any ideas `bout my girl! This one's mine! You always get the girls! This one's mine! You promised!”
Pyro: “Blimey, you! Calm down! Maybe we should let `er pick, what?”
---Daredevil 269
“Take a look right at that, local yokels! While Freedom Force's here---we own your town!”
---Daredevil 269
Blob: “Hey Pyro, you know how the blind man burned his fingers? Readin' the waffle iron! Hahahahaha!”
Pyro: “Blob, you blinkin' idiot. Blind people aren't deaf too, you know! He can hear you!”
---Daredevil 269
“Well, I gotta hit the little boys' room.”
---Daredevil 269
Pyro: “So I got some competition for the pretty lady, eh, mate? You idiot! I can fry your bloody bones in a second flat!”
Daredevil: “Run, Amanda!”
Pyro: “Well, I'll be! Right showy, you are! Nice flip, red man! Good! I need me some shooting practice! Cook the lucky red jumping bean! Try an' land butter side up! Hahahahahaha! I still can't believe you're fighting me over some ruttin' piece a' fluff! --- You can only die! A crazy devil, surrounded by fire!”
---Daredevil 269
Pyro: “My, my! You sure are a right sloppy one when you're jealous!”
Blob: “Jealous of you? Never!”
---Daredevil 269
Blob: “I can't see! I can't breathe! Pyro! No fair!”
Pyro: “You grindy whining little brat. Ain't no wonder girls don't take to you.”
Blob: “Ha! Tricked you! Now I'll—”
Pyro: “Hey, Blob! Where's the girl?!”
Blob: “I dunno. She got away?”
Pyro: “Look, let's just bring her `round and finish this bit later.”
Blob: “Okay.”
---Daredevil 269
Pyro (thinking): “Well, I'll just fry his butt…”
Daredevil (thinking): “He probably thinks he can fry my butt.”
---Daredevil 269
Spiral: “Idiots!”
Blob: “Uh…hiya, Spiral.”
Spiral: “How pathetic. Complete failures. I should have known.”
Pyro: “Wasn't our fault! Daredevil was in town, an' he busted me arm!”
Blob: “Yeah, an' he hit me!”
---Daredevil 269
Blob: “Incident? That snotty upstart fire-starter tried ta torch Manhattan or I ain't the Blob! Wouldn't register like a good mutant citizen. We shoulda kept him in jail!”
Pyro: “The decision to release him was politically motivated, mate, and made far above our level.”
---New Mutants 78
“Good, mate! Just the bravura move I hoped you'd make! Because whatever its source, Pyro is flame's master!”
---New Mutants 78
Pyro: “Smart lad, Rusty. You've learned to be a bit more cautious with your flame. But not ta worry, mate, I carry my own!”
Rictor: “What…fire?! Did Dani break loose? Is this the end of the world?”
Rusty Collins: “She's okay, Rictor…for now.”
Pyro: “Destiny, can what they say be true?”
Destiny: “Perhaps. Our only certainty is that, if Rusty Collins reaches their Ship, the course of our own history will be changed…and the dark times that are coming will overwhelm Freedom Force…and destroy us.”
---New Mutants 78
Rusty Collins: “We'll tell them all about Freedom Force…and the mutant children you've kidnapped. Probably get a lot of media coverage, too, 'Mutants imprisoned of Liberty Island'….that kind of thing. We'll blow your nasty little conspiracy sky-high.”
Pyro: “You've got it all wrong, mate…you misunderstood what the Blob said earlier.”
---New Mutants 80
“Don't even think of using your flame against us, Rusty. Remember…what flame you create, I can control.”
---New Mutants 82
Pyro: “Trust a lawyer to love Joyce.”
Stonewall: “Ultimate precision of language…”
Pyro: “It's gibberish, mate!”
---Uncanny X-Men 255
Forge: “We were too close---that fireball should have roasted us--!”
Pyro: “Never a need to worry about open flames, mates…when Pyro's about to control `em.”
---Uncanny X-Men 255
Mystique: “Pyro, past time we let the opposition know what they're up against.”
Pyro: “My pleasure, boss.”
---Uncanny X-Men 255
Stonewall: “I have the Reavers' top dog, Pyro---get Mystique clear!”
Pyro: “Better idea, cobber. How `bout I flash-fry these yobbos into…crispy critters--?!? Who snuffed my flame?”
---Uncanny X-Men 255
Donald Pierce: “There's no wall been built…that technology can't smash down!”
Pyro: “Stoney! He---he's---!”
---Uncanny X-Men 255
Pyro: “Pretty much the way I figured t' check out. Though the timing leaves a bit t' be desired. I'll never know if my new book's a bestseller.”
Mystique: “I'm sorry I brought you to this, Pyro.”
Pyro: “Breaks o' the game, luv. Knew that when I signed on. Worse ways to go, than with friends—”
---Uncanny X-Men 255
Forge: “Nailed one for sure. Others rabbited.”
Pyro: “Ain't that always the way o' things. Least you balanced the scales some for Stoney.”
---Uncanny X-Men 255
Blob: “Never seen her like this…”
Pyro: “She lost her best mate…”
---X-Men Forever 2
Pyro: “Don't waste your power, Blob. We can clear our way through this crowd easily.”
Blob: “Don't tell me what I already know, Limey. And don't start talkin' like you're in charge of this little picnic.”
Avalanche: “Nobody's in charge, Blob, while Mystique's grieving. We agreed on that. We're independents now.”
Pyro: “Ha ha! Nicely done, Avalanche! Your power stopped that car as surely as if it hit a brick wall. Glad to see you're recovering from the wounds you received at the hands of the Reavers!”
Blob: “Big deal. I don't see no sign of the Avengers. Just their statues.”
Pyro: “Still, we were told they would be near here. If they are…I'll wager they've a way of monitoring this park.”
---Avengers 312
Falcon: “Excuse me while I reconsider my enthusiasm! These clowns play rough!”
Pyro: “Rough enough, Falcon. Hold still while I singe your pin feathers…”
---Avengers 312
The Wasp: “Hey, Sparky! You throw some mean zaps, but let's see how you like being on the receiving end of my sting!”
Pyro: “Ow!! Miserable little gnat! I'll burn you to ashes!”
---Avengers 312
Pyro: “Avalanche…we're losing!!”
Avalanche: “Force isn't enough! We've got to try something else!”
Pyro: “And I know just the ticket! You coppers! Arrest the Avengers! In the name of the United States government, I order you to incarcerate all of them!”
---Avengers 312
Pyro: “Well---not precisely the effect I was hoping to achieve---but enough, I think! Avalanche…engineer an escape route for us.”
Avalanche: “You got it, Pyro…”
Pyro: “Nicely done. Now…back to our helicopter…”
Avalanche: “And the Blob--?”
Pyro: “He was stupid enough to let Pym defeat him. That makes him a liability. We'll be better off without him.”
Avalanche: “If you say so…I can't shake the feeling this is going to come back on us some day…”
---Avengers 312
Blob: “Hey, Pyro…got a light?”
Pyro: “You're kidding, right?”
---Incredible Hulk 369
Bruce Banner: “Hmmm. I wonder where those flames came from?”
Pyro: “From me, Doc. It's to let the others know I spotted you. Now stay cool…or I'll make you hot under the collar.”
---Incredible Hulk 369
“Cripes, I'm gonna puke. I…don't get it…I thought he was…the wimpy half.”
---Incredible Hulk 369
Pyro: “I think Fred's in trouble. Any ideas?”
Crimson Commando: “None comes to mind.”
---Incredible Hulk 369
Rusty Collins: “But she isn't the only one who knows what you're up to! Take her to the hospital or I'll—”
Pyro: “Or you'll what--? You forget, boy, that Pyro controls flame!”
---New Mutants 86
Crimson Commando: “Freedom Force found you, Cable, wounded, temporarily paralyzed, in a government facility where you had no clearance…your bionic arm melted to a stump.”
Cable: “An inconvenience, Commando, little more. What I created, I can repair.”
Pyro: “So maybe it was a set up, mate? Or an internecine dispute? Maybe you're working with the MLF, too.”
Cable: “You know what I stand for, Pyro. You know my record.”
Crimson Commando: “Yes, which is mostly off the record, Cable. Top secret operations…before you went rogue. And you went rogue a long time ago.”
Cable: “I didn't start the fight with…certain elements of our government.”
Pyro: “But you did your flamin' best to finish it, eh?”
---New Mutants 88
Mystique: “You've heard X-Factor's message. They want the Collins boy and Skids Blevins.”
Blob: “Tough. We ain't got `em anymore, Mystique. The MLF took `em lord knows where.”
Mystique: “That is not public knowledge, Blob.”
Pyro: “So, why don't we just tell Cyclops. The MLF is a threat to them as well.”
---New Mutants 88
Blob: “How come that chump ain't crashed?”
Pyro: “An excellent question, Blob. We've certainly given him plenty of encouragement in that direction!”
---New Mutants 89
Pyro: “Commando was right, Blob. The fool stopped for a disguise to hide his metal arm.”
Blob: “Wotta jerk! Did us more good than him. Gave us time to catch with him. Commando said when we find `im, take `im out fast!”
Pyro: “Look at him striding along…chump thinks he's gotten away from us, free and clear. What do you say, mate? We'll take him out fast, sure…but let's not make it easy for him…let's pay him back for the trouble he's caused us.”
---New Mutants 89
“That's for the way you clobbered me back in Washington, mate!”
---New Mutants 89
“Forget someone, luv? My control of flames is more'n a match for your little matchbox power! `Cause there's a big difference between just havin' great power…and knowing how to have a real blast with it, yes?”
---Marvel Comics Presents 85
Pyro: “You try t' fly away, luv, I'll fry you there! An' I'm just the cobber t' do it, too! So give it up, Red---you're hopelessly outclassed! I don't just control the flame from me back-tanks! I can also bend the heat from yer blasts away from me! Leaving you…right back where you started!”
Mystique: “Pyro! Don't toy with her! She's—”
Pyro: “She's nothin'! She's got to tire down soon…”
---Marvel Comics Presents 85
“Maybe you're right, Mystique. It is time to quit foolin' around.”
---Marvel Comics Presents 85
“…kill you, you little witch! Your little water show won't stop me from frying you!”
---Marvel Comics Presents 85
Spiral: “Can't believe you let that little princess whip you!”
Pyro: “She did no worse t' us than you, Spiral. We were at half strength, anyway.”
---Marvel Comics Presents 86
Blob: “Could it be any hotter in here?”
Pyro: “Sorry, old boy.”
---Avengers: Deathtrap: the Vault
Pyro: “A little heat treatment might loosen Hyde's tongue---don'tcha think?”
Captain America: “Blob! Pyro! Stop!”
Pyro: “Stop? Stop? The Avengers' way, we're all going to die.”
---Avengers: Deathtrap: the Vault
“Anyone inside this oven I've created isn't going t' be much of a combat threat, I'd venture.”
---New Mutants annual 7
Crimson Commando: “This is neither fun nor stupid, Blob. This is war. If the Iraqi army were to find out Kurtzmann has been hiding in Kuwait City since their invasion---they'd use his knowledge to advance their nuclear capability. We can't allow that to happen.”
Pyro: “Just a bunch of bloody fools playing a bloody fool's game.”
---New Mutants annual 7
Blob: “Sweet Louise!!”
Crimson Commando: “Martin--? Oh dear God…”
Pyro: “What the `eck was that?! Huh? Tell me---what was that?!!”
Blob: “His head fell clean off his body! Djou see that?”
Crimson Commando: “I—I don't see anything out there--!”
Pyro: “Let's bug out of here!”
Blob: “Clean off his scrawny little body! Djou see? How could that have happened?”
Pyro: “Wait a mo' --- wait a mo' --- what's this fog? Where's it coming from, eh? I say we bug out now!”
Crimson Commando: “Shut up for a minute, Pyro!”
---New Mutants annual 7
Pyro: “C'mon old man! What's the flippin' deal?”
Crimson Commando: “I'm increasing sensory range---I have multiple heartbeats—”
Pyro: “Where? Where! I don't see a bloody thing!”

“Tea time's over! Rockem sockem!”

Pyro: “Avalanche's fissure has separated us!”
Crimson Commando: “You're on your own! Head towards the dust-off zone---quickly!”
Blob: “Ya heard the man!”
Pyro: “Hard t' believe, his best friend Sabre is dead an' he's lost half a bloody arm an' he's still kickin'! Come on then, Kurtzmann!”
---Uncanny X-Men annual 15
Blob: “Where in the name o' Lewis an' Clark are we?”
Pyro: “Daft if I know!”
Blob: “Commando's the one with the maps! How are we gonna find the chopper site?”
Pyro: “Let's worry about stayin' alive first, Blobbo!”
---Uncanny X-Men annual 15
Pyro: “Ah jeez…”
Arabian Knight: “The physicist is ours again. For your own welfare, I would suggest you surrender.”
Pyro: “Surrounded, Blobbo.”
Blob: “What were our orders again?”
Pyro: “What are you, crazy?”
---Uncanny X-Men annual 15

Pyro: “Oh, I hear ya---where the bloody fig are you?”
US Soldier: “We're airborne, Pyro---give us a location fix.”
Pyro: “Well, how in bloody $#@! am I supposed to know? We're runnin' in some back alleys an' they ain't on my Fodor's Guide, oy?! The Blobber's been turned into a pin-cushion an' I'm outta patience! Get us out of here now!!”
---X-Factor annual 6
Blob: “Whud's goin' on?”
Pyro: “We're screwed, that's wot!”
US Soldier: “Ground Unit---is there any way you can take Kurtzmann and find cover?”
Pyro: “Doubt that.”
US Soldier: “Repeat?”
Pyro: “Uhm…the German is dead. We had to frag him, no choice. Just followin' orders.”
---X-Factor annual 6
US Soldier: “John Wayne-One to ground unit---we have injured parties aboard---”
Pyro: “Uh-oh.”
US Soldier: “---we're bugging out now---”
Pyro: “Bloody great!”
US Soldier: “Find cover---contact American units through the Kuwaiti underground---good luck---Godspeed---”
Pyro: “You sons of bitches!”
---X-Factor annual 6
“We're bolluxed.”
---X-Factor annual 6
Pyro: “S'much for Freedom Force, oy?”

---X-Force 6
Siryn: “How did you find us here?”
Toad: “The Morlocks are well informed among the mutant underground. They knew of your taking Trask's former base as your own.”
Pyro: “You'd be surprised, lassie. They even knew you were a part o' the parcel!”
---X-Force 6
“You Irish floozy, the least you could do is pay attention to me when you fight me!”
---X-Force 7
Blob: “In other words---let's rumble!!!”

---Darkhawk 19
Darkhawk: “What do you want from us?”
Pyro: “From Spider-Man, a gruesome death'll do. From you---any teleportin' gimmicks your armor has---and then the gruesome death.”
---Darkhawk 19
“A fat lot of good your mind control powers are, Sauron! You were supposed to order Portal to teleport us to a government weapons factory in Washington State, where we could've stolen enough firepower to make all the X-teams a bloody memory! Instead, Portal planted us in the middle of Manhattan! You screwed up!”
---Sleepwalker 17
“You'll be the only ones doing any suffering around here, mate!”
---Sleepwalker 17
Pyro: “Y' shoor this is where we're s'posed t' be, mate?”
Toad: “Yes, “I'm shooor”, Johnny ---just steer the bloody boat and leave the thinking to me.”
Pyro: “I'm daft fer doing that as often as I do, Morty.”
Blob: “Ah, quit yer belly-achin', y' Aussie toothpick ---I'm the one whose delicate skin's gonna burn to a crisp out here.”
Pyro: “Fred, ol' blubber-boy, y' shouldn't be talkin' t' me about burnin' up now, mate, should you?”
---X-Men Unlimited 2
Exodus: “He offers a haven. A refuge. A home.”
Pyro: “How many bathrooms?”
---X-Men Unlimited 2
Exodus: “Because there is simply no place in Avalon for mutants like yourself and Frederick ---people who lack vision and potential.”
Pyro: “Well, wot about me, then? I got twenty-twenty here!”
Exodus: “You might have been considered, St. John…had you not become tainted…”
Pyro: “Tainted? What're you talking about?”
---X-Men Unlimited 2
“Sod on him. Tainted? Sod on them both.”
---X-Men Unlimited 2
Avalanche: “Just like I thought---we've met the enemy, and what do you know---the enemy is us! Toad---Pyro---Blob---and her, I have no idea! The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants!”
Pyro: “Got three out of four right---the babe is Phantazia. Just like we got you right, don't we, Dominic? The outsides are diff'rent, but the insides ain't.”
---X-Men annual 2
Avalanche: “You okay?”
Pyro: “Just ducky.”
Avalanche: “I'm sorry, Johnny, about leaving you guys behind in the Mid-East like we did.”
Pyro: “I'm not going to pretend it didn't hurt, Dom. An' here I thought we were mates and all.”
Avalanche: “We were---we are---but Commando was dying! An' at that time, the army was not about to engage in hostilities for the likes of a few mutants trying to get early parole by doin' the government's dirty work.”
Pyro: “I know, but it's one thing to get sent on a suicide mission---it's a whole other matter to find out the cheeky buzzards meant it!”
Avalanche: “How'd you and the Blob get out?”
Pyro: “Promised their commander we'd be his bodyguards. An' we were, till the lovely Toad showed up and bartered for us!”
Avalanche: “You're lucky you survived. And I'm glad you did, bud.”
Pyro: “Oh, sure. Me, too. Just thrilled.”
---X-Men annual 2
Beast: “And this lad, I can assume, is Crimson Commando? Odd to find them here...since our government contacts told us...they were in the employ of Project: Wideawake.”
Pyro: “What did you say, McCoy--? Our mates're workin' for the government?”
Cyclops: “Didn't you know, Pyro? They were sent in to align themselves with you and put whatever is going on here out of commission.”
---X-Men annual 2
Cyclops: “What's really going on here, Chambers?”
Pyro: “You twits're daft! Didn't you hear what he said? This place is a haven---a refuge---a hospital---an' if need be, a peaceful final resting place!”
Beast: “But for whom, Pyro?”
Pyro: “For the condemned, McCoy! For all the ones who're waiting to die! Do all of you get it now?”
Beast: “Oh my stars and garters.”
Pyro: “This place is going to become a leper colony for mutants with the Legacy Virus---mutants whose powers're going t' destabilize ---little by little---until they flare out an' die! An' three bloody guesses who this hospital's first patient is!!”
---X-Men annual 2
Cyclops: “That's easy to say, Chambers, but much harder to accept, if you're one of the dying!”
Pyro: “But I am one of the dying, mate! An' he's helped me. I was in pain ev'ry day since I first got this virus! Chambers has helped ease that pain!”
Beast: “But he is using you, St. John.”
Pyro: “And I'm using him, McCoy! I'm the one who's dyin' here! Can't I at least be given the bloody dignity of choosing how I'm going to die?!”
---X-Men annual 2
Pyro: “You all roit, mate?”
Empyrean: “Funny you should ask, St. John...but yes...I'm fine...and you--?”
Pyro: “Heh---I'll live. Heh.”
---X-Men annual 2
“G'day, Devil---g'day to die! Was hopin' you'd join me in my private little Hell!”
---Daredevil 355
“You blind, hero? Connect the dots! It's not like I was walkin' by and thought---'now there's a good place to start a crackler!'”
---Daredevil 355
Pyro: “That…that's why they call you the man without fear, Devil? Down Under we'd call you the man without common sense.”
Daredevil: “Sounds like you'd better stop smoking, Pyro! No time like the present! You can use your powers to stop the fire---I'll take a quick scan for incriminating evidence...heck! I'll even spring for one of those patches---fix you right up!”
Pyro: “They don't make anything that can fix me, Devil. Or you---in about three seconds!”
---Daredevil 355
“Cor! That...that hurt! Makes it bloody impossible...concentratin' on fire-forms...but it's better'n dying in bed! Won't go that way...won't be remembered that way...”
---Daredevil 355
“It…it…don't matter…hospitals don't matter…I'm a dead man…dead from the Legacy Virus…but I went out in a blaze of glory, eh? That's my legacy…innit? That's why…I invited you, Devil…so…you'd tell how I went down fightin'…or else…at least they'd know it was me…who…killed Daredevil!”
---Daredevil 355
“Oh, beauty! Never…never could shoot those things…to save my li—”
---Daredevil 355
Priest: “That's quite the cough there, son. Relax, take your time.”
Pyro: “That's just it, Padre. I don't have the time! I needed to talk to someone…to warn them…about…her!”
---Uncanny X-Men 338
“What are you doing here, X-Men?! I didn't want it to end this way! Didn't mean to start this fire! I'm dying, yes, you know that…but I don't want to take any of you with me!”
---Uncanny X-Men 338
Wolverine: “What are ya, blind, Joseph? Can't ya see the guy's in pain?” The Legacy Virus is killin' him---eating away at his control over his mutant ability t' control flame.”
Joseph: “You're saying we should get him to Muir Island for treatment?”
Wolverine: “Now yer think---”
Pyro: “No, listen t' me, you maniac---I'm not important. This isn't `bout me. It's about…them.”
---Uncanny X-Men 338
Pyro: “Ev'ry breath I take…can feel the flames in my lungs! They knew that. I told them…went to them for help…and they tried t' use it…against me.”
Archangel: “Who, Allerdyce. Who are 'they'? Tell us and we might be able to stop them for you.”
Pyro: “I don't want him dead…not anymore. Not now that I know what dyin' means. But they do…they figured I had nothing to lose. But I still have…my dignity.”
---Uncanny X-Men 338
Mystique: “You're looking pretty good for a dead man…Pyro!”
Pyro: “I'll take that as a compliment, love! 'Cause right now I'm feeling like I might as well have died back at that other church instead of fakin' it. Funny how, this late in life, I've developed an affinity for churches. Think maybe I'm findin' religion as I'm staring death in the face?”
Mystique: “You up for this?”
Pyro: “Sure I am, boss lady. The ol' Legacy Virus has got me down, but not out. And I'm ready to make amends for every dog deed done in my black life.”
---X-Factor 129
Pyro: “Sorry `bout that, boss. Lost control of my flamin' powers. Looks like the Legacy Virus is going to beat me yet.”
Mystique: “Are you sure you are up to this?”
Pyro: “I'm not dead yet. I can handle whatever job you need done! Have I ever let you down?”
---X-Factor 130
Mystique: “Obviously you're not in the mood to listen today, Val. Forge said they took Pyro out before Creed was fried. Yeah…he was my back-up. We tried, my friend.”
Pyro: “Sorry, boss.”
---X-Factor 130
“Blanket won't help…this is who I am `n what I do. Name's P-Pyro, and since I got the Legacy Virus, I do it even more. I'm already in one flippin' minority just bein' a mutant. Now I have to get a disease that makes me even more of an outcast? How fair is that?”
---Uncanny X-Men 351
Cecilia Reyes: “How were you shot?”
Pyro: “Robbed a bank for money to pay a scientist who says --- says he can take away mutant genes.”
Dr. Loran: “That's not possible—”
Pyro: “Don't bloody say that!”
---Uncanny X-Men 351
“`s usually no problem…can control the flame enough that bullets melt before they hit me. This time flaky power just heated `em up. Hurts!”
---Uncanny X-Men 351
“Thanks...doc. I know you may think I'm not worth it, but I appreciate what you've done for me, luv.”
---Uncanny X-Men 351
Pyro: “But, uh, since I am under guard and quite incapacitated, I was hoping you could loosen my straps a touch? They…they hurt.”
Cecilia Reyes: “How do I know I can trust you?”
Pyro: “How could I betray you? You believed in me, saved my life, got me this humane respite when no one else would have bothered. Please. As one human being to another, I beg you?”
Cecilia Reyes: “…Don't make me regret this. Hey--!”
Pyro: “Sorry, luv. But never, ever trust a villain. We'll say anything. Thanks for the fix-up!”
Cecilia Reyes: “No! Come back here! You'll cost me my job if you---”
Pyro: “Ah, you're a natural! You'll find another. Ta ta!”
---Uncanny X-Men 351
Scanner: “Remember---this is a killing mission. Exodus has decreed the High Evolutionary's death for creating artificial mutations like the Knights.”
Pyro: “Racial purity's your thing. All I care about is getting the cure for the Legacy Virus that's killing me.”
---Quicksilver 9
“Toast `em! And find the Isotope! That's the key to our survival!”
---Quicksilver 9
Pyro: “Toldja he'd blaze a trail right to our target! Let's give `em the ol' one-two.”
Avalanche: “You got it, buddy!”
High Evolutionary: “The…Isotope! Ooof!”
Quicksilver: “In good hands!”
Pyro: “Maybe---but I've got the boss man! Trade, or he's toast!”
---Quicksilver 9
Pyro: “What's it going to be, Quicksilver? Does this tin-plated poser live or do I broil him?!”
Quicksilver: “Hold! It seems I must trust your mercy---and your word. Catch!”
Pyro: “Finally! The cure – belongs -- to me!”
Quicksilver: “Fool! As if I would ever trust your word or your mercy!”
---Quicksilver 9
“When we get out of here, you'll burn for this, Scanner! You, Exodus, all the Acolytes---you're toast!”
---Quicksilver 9
SHIELD agent: “Pyro! You are trespassing on private land. Under the order of SHIELD---”
Pyro: “SHIELD? SHIELD?! You can't stop this! You're worthless and you know it, ya bloody twits! He's got control of you, like he's got control of everyone else!”
SHIELD agent: “State your demands.”
Pyro: “D…demands? Are you daft?”
---Uncanny X-Men 362
Pyro: “Have to escape him! I must reach Xavier! It can't end like this! It can't end---”
Wolverine: “Maybe not, bub---but it also can't end with you turnin' the Midwest Ag Belt into fields o' Jiffypop, neither.”
Pyro: “Gahh! Bloody rot! Wolverine--?! No!”
Cerebro: “Identify...capture...catalogue.”
Pyro: “NOOOO!”
Wolverine: “What the--?!”
Pyro: “No! You won't take me! I won't die at your hands!”
Cerebro: “Warning: systems failure...systems...failure.”
Wolverine: “All right, Pyro, whatever it was, ya got it. Now shut your flames off before you bake yourself!”
Pyro: “I…can't…pain…f'r the love o' God, Wolverine…bring me to Xavier…”
---Uncanny X-Men 362
Blob: “I guess we ain't so dumb after all, suckers! Waste him, Post! Kill him!”
Pyro: “No! No! All of you, stop…don't you see…”
---Cable 87
Pyro: “Please...Senator...make it end. The hatred...the death. There's a war coming...stop it! You're the only one who can.”
Senator Kelly: “I will. I promise. As long as I live…I promise.”
Pyro: “Thank…you…mate…”
