Mr. Burt : So, it's a kind of a game.
Dana Scully : No, it's not.
Monica Reyes : No, maybe it is. Maybe that's what this is about - who wins the game.
Mr. Burt : I think she's on to something!
Dana Scully : Agent Reyes, you can't reduce a complex factor's physical and psychological into a game.
Monica Reyes : You're a scientist, Agent Scully, your world is ruled by numbers. Atoms, molecules, periodicity...
Mr. Burt : Wow!
Monica Reyes : And wouldn't it follow that everything you've made from those things is ruled by numbers, too? Genes, chromosomes, us... the universe!
Mr. Burt : Go, girl!
