Tante Mattie(narration): De burden of de world is always on you, Remy. Any choice made available t' you is always a hard one. What lengths will you go t' survive, Remy? Do any of 'em even realise the danger dey're in if dey push you too far? Do any of 'em know evert'ing dat crosses yo' path is only alive 'cause you choose t' let 'em stay dat way? Lord help dem – an' you Remy LeBeau – if you decide otherwise... Gambit Series 3 #17
He doesn't do this often... ..become a fighting machine. He's a fun loving scoundrel by nature. To become a whisper and the roar of thunder – a shadow and a bolt of lightning – not only exhausts him... ...it tends to bore him as well. Gambit Series 3 #0
Out of the ashes of the old a new legend is born on the streets of New Orleans. A legend used by creole mothers to frighten bad little children. The dark handsome thief sneaking through the shadows of the night. The thief who tosses lightning from his hands and steals the heart of your girl. The thief searching for the love he can never have. The thief. The traitor to all. So goes the legend of Gambit. Gambit Series 1 #4
Brother Voodoo: In our brief time together, I've seen evidence of a personality type that's narcassistic, kleptomaniacal, pathalogical, adrenaline-addicted, anti-authority, and given to reckless, suicidal tendencies. No offence to you, Remy. But a super hero who moonlights as a thief --? Dude... you got issues! Gambit Series 4 #9
An especially angry september sun pounds down on the waters of spuyten dyvil cove... ...forming in it's fury a pool of flickering jewels on the edge of the Xavier estate. Yet the current occupant of the boat house does not feel the sun's heat. In fact his body openly defies it. Remy LeBeau. Thief, mutant, X-Man. At worst, a traitor with a heart of ice... ...at best, a man chilled to the soul, trying desperately to find warmth in the place he once called home. X-Men #81
Storm: We must respect the decision Wolverine made, Rogue --
Rogue: Ah know -- an' ah do. But --

Gambit: Had me goin' dere for a minute, Dirge. But you want to break my spirit, de Mutant Massacre , it be the wrong stick to use. Because the only person who got betrayed here... was me. Gambit, he's a thief, c'est vrai! I've conned so many folks in my time, I should'a heard the web o' lies that brought me to dis place. That was my mistake, an' I'll carry the memory 'til I die. Good people died because o' dat. But before they died, they were good people. Those are the mem'ries I choose to cherish. Not the way they died, but how they lived! As for you Rogue, I play fast an' loose wit' many t'ings... but never wit' votre coeur. Never wit' your heart. Your heart. It means more t'me than my own. You choose not to see dat, it's your loss. Uncanny X-Men #382
Gambit: Dere's sadness in the world, sure, but I choose to see the joy. The miracle is that we live. The responsibility of living is that we try to make the world a little better. Dirge, he don't see dat. Best he figures, I cry, I bury myself so deep in grief I become dead myself. Ain't dat easy, mon brave. I love these people. I love Rogue. I choose t' honor their lives an' what dey mean t' me wit' a celebration. My soul won't ever be lost Dirge, because now an' always, I choose to laugh. Uncanny X-Men #382
Gambit: Is it me, mon ami, or am I de only one who thinks its funny dat you'd ask a thief like me t'help you move your prized possessions?
Cyclops: Ex-thief Gambit... No?
Gambit: Once it's in your blood, Scott... it's like bein' an alcoholic who wants t' drink but don't. De need is always dere. De fact you don't know I'm talkin' about is just one reason you're a lucky man, Cyclops.
Cyclops: I know it, Remy. It was incredibly kind of the Professor to give Jean and me some personal space here on the grounds.
Gambit: True. But dat ain't what I necess'ly meant. I'm talkin' about your whole life Scott... about your friends and family. I'm talkin' about a future with a wife dat loves you and a past filled wit' things you're not ashamed of. Uncanny X-Men #318
Cable: Come out and show yourself or I'll bring that building down on your head.

Rogue: Hush, Cajun, an' get up!
Gambit: Mus' be paralyzed.
Rogue: Convenient position. Uncanny X-Men #367
Gambit (Recorded Journal): * Day two. No food, but I found a tape recorder. Figure a journal might help if some explorer finds a frozen Cajun Surprise a few hundred years from now. Been spelunkin' a bit. Diggin' through th' remains of the base. Seein' what I might find. Place really pancaked in on itself when it blew up. Makes for a really tight squeeze getting around. On the plus side, there's no food, so I'm losin' enough weight to slink around in no time at all. * Day four. Cold. Never been colder. Loisiana Bayou boy chillin' in th' Antarctic. Go figure. An' whose fault is it you're in this mess? Your own an' you know it. Can't even get the power to come back on. No lights. No heat. An' did I mention--no food?! Glass is half full, plenty of water, just wedge some ice under my armpit until it melts. Wouldn' want my legacy t' be nothin' but whinin', after all...an' what will my legacy be? A life of takin' things. Stealin'. But never buildin' anything. No real friendships. No lasting loves. And family? Any family that didn' betray me...I ended up betrayin'. No chance t'tell them how sorry I am. No guts t'tell them when I had the chance. Woe is me. I really hate the morose Gambit. Let him diehere, figuratively, if not literally. * Dinner time! Let's scrounge for plastic shavings an' seat covers! * Almos' done...can't survive off scraps...gotta leave...but I know I won't make it...more'n a few kilometers... One last room... Haven't been able t'get into...maybe somethin' there... Food--a plane--anythin' be nice about now... Make a deal wit' th'devil himself at this point... * Annual Gambit 1999
Gambit: Y'know, I've had a pretty good night of it--an'what does that say 'bout me, considerin' I spent most of it wit' people tryin' t'kill me--an' I'd rather it not be ruined by your Oprah-moment! Annual Gambit 2000

Storm: No such luck. Uncanny X-Men #326
Gambit: S'funny, ain't it? De way life goes about changin' everyt'ing--one moment to de next. Jus' a few weeks ago, it was me lyin' in dis same bed--recoverin' from my kiss wit' Rogue. You were standin' over me, Betsy. Telepathically probin' my mind wit'out askin'. Lookin' to learn somethin' I don' want nobody t'know. Ever.
