- Margaret Scully: Hello, Fox.
- Scully: [smiles] Not Fox. Mulder.
- [opens her eyes]
- Mulder: How you feeling?
- Scully: [suddenly, apologetically] Mulder, I don't remember anything. After Duane Barry...
- Mulder: [shakes his head] Doesn't... doesn't matter.
- Mulder: I feel, Scully, that... you believe... you're not ready to go. And you've always had the strength of your beliefs. I don't know if my being here... will help bring you back. But I'm here.
- Richard 'Ringo' Langly: You look down, Mulder. Tell you what, you're welcome to come over Satruday night. We're all hopping on the internet to nitpick the scientific inaccuracies of Earth 2.
- Mulder: I'm doing my laundry.
- Skinner: When I was eighteen, I, uh... I went to Vietnam. I wasn't drafted, Mulder, I... I enlisted in the Marine Corps the day of my eighteenth birthday. I did it on a blind faith. I did it because I believed it was the right thing to do. I don't know, maybe I still do. Three months into my tour, a ten-year-old North Vietnamese boy walked into camp covered with grenades and I, uh... I blew his head off from a distance of ten yards. I lost my faith. Not in my country or in myself, but in everything. There was just no point to anything anymore. One night on patrol, we were, uh... caught... and everyone... everyone fell. I mean, everyone. I looked down... at my body... from outside of it. I didn't recognize it at first. I watched the V.C. strip my uniform, take my weapon and I remained... in this thick jungle... peaceful... unafraid... watching my... my dead friends. Watching myself. In the morning, the corpsmen arrived and put me in a bodybag until... I guess they found a pulse. I woke in a Saigon hospital two weeks later. I'm afraid to look any further beyond that experience. You? You are not. Your resignation is unacceptable.
- Captain William Scully: Hello, Starbuck. It's Ahab. People would say to me, life is short - kids, they grow up fast, before you know it, it's over. I never listened. To me life went at a proper pace, there were rewards until the moment that I knew, I understood, I would never see you again. My little girl. Then my life felt as if it had been the length of one breath, one heartbeat. I never knew how much I loved my daughter until I could never tell her. At that moment I would have traded every medal, every commendation, every promotion for one more second with you. We'll be together again, Starbuck. But not now. Soon.
- Melissa Scully: I don't have to be psychic to see that you're in a very dark place. Much darker than where my sister is. Willingly walking deeper into darkness cannot help her at all. Only the light...
- Mulder: [disgustedly] Enough! - with the harmonic convergence crap, okay, you're not *saying* anything to me.
- Melissa Scully: [angrily] Why don't you just drop your cynicism and your paranoia and your defeat. You know, just because it's positive and good, doesn't mean it's silly or trite.
- Skinner: [walking into Mulder's office] When I started out, this room is where they kept the copier.
- Mulder: You should be the one to die.
- The Cigarette Smoking Man: Why? Look at me. No wife, no family, some power. I'm in the game because I believe what I'm doing is right.
- Mulder: Right? Who are you to say what's right?
- The Cigarette Smoking Man: Who are you? If people were to know of the things that I know, it would all fall apart.
- The Cigarette Smoking Man: [to Mulder] You can kill me now, but you'll never know the truth. And that's why I'll win.
- Hospital visitor: Pardon me, sir, do you have change for the cigarette machine?
- Mulder: No, sorry, I don't
- Hospital visitor: [checking the machine] There's a pack already there. Morleys... not my brand.
