***Ascension***

Agent: "What are you so paranoid about, Mulder?"
Mulder: "Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because I find it hard to trust anyone."

Krycek: "The US Department of Transportation estimates that over 190,000 fatal car crashes every year are caused by sleepiness?"
Mulder: "Did they estimate how many people are put to sleep listening to their statistics?"

Cancer Man: "We tell you only what you need to know."
Krycek: "I think I have the right to know."
Cancer Man: "You have no rights. Only orders to be carried out. If you have a problem with that we'll make other arrangements."

Mulder: "Why? Do they have something on him?"
Mr. X: "They have something on everyone, Mr. Mulder. The question is when they'll use it."
Mr. X: "They only have one policy: Deny Everything."

Skinner: "There is only one thing that I can do, Agent Mulder. As of right now, I'm reopening the X-Files. That's what they fear the most."

Mrs Scully: (Handing Mulder back Scully's cross) "When you find her, give it to her."

***3***

Officer (to Mulder): "You are really upsetting me... on several levels."

Mulder: "They have the same feeble, literal grasp of the bible as all those big-hair preachers do."

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

--(John 6:54) Written in blood on wall

John: "Don't you want to live forever?"
Mulder: "Not if drawstring pants come back into style."

John: "Look, what nobody knows is that there is no after-life. I know this, but listen, listen. I know this, because, when we prolong our lives by taking theirs, all I see is such horror, in their eyes. And that's because at that moment, they're face to face with death and then suddenly they realise there's nothing else. There's no heaven, there's no soul; there's just rot and decay."

John: "He is. A spirit is one who believes. He knows we are possible."

***One Breath***

"The spirit is the truth."        --Inscription on Scully's tombstone

Cancer Man: "I'm in the game because I believe what I'm doing is right."
Mulder: "Right? Who are you to decide what's right?"
Cancer Man: "Who are *you*?"

Lone Gunmen: "Mulder, you look down. You're welcome to come over on Saturday. We're going to jump on the Internet and nit-pick the scientific inaccuracies of Earth 2."
Mulder: "I'm doing my laundry."
