- Fox Mulder: Wow, you know you're going places in the bureau when the assistant director tidies up your office for you.
- Gibson Andrew Praise: I don't mind it here. They get all the good TV shows. Where I live in the Philippines all we get is Baywatch.
- Fox Mulder: What's wrong with Baywatch?
- Gibson Andrew Praise: ...You've got a dirty mind.
- Fox Mulder: You know, when I first met you I figured you were just ambitious. Then this morning my opinion changed and I thought you were arrogant. Now I'm beginning to wonder what you're protecting.
- FBI Special Agent Jeffrey Spender: I'm just trying to run this thing right. Not like some ridiculous, paranormal free-for-all.
- Fox Mulder: You're insulting me when you should be taking notes. Somehow you got the big assignment, but just because you're wearing the suit doesn't mean it fits. You're lucky you're not busy diffusing an international incident, kissing some serious Russian ass and sending a whole lot of agents barking down a whole lot of bad leads. Now the kid is the key to this. And the shooter knows why. Excuse me.
- Cigarette Smoking Man: You look surprised. Is it that I'm here or that I'm alive?
- Elder #1: When we heard you'd been shot, we assumed the worst.
- Elder #2: There were reports you lost too much blood to have survived.
- Cigarette Smoking Man: Obviously you underestimated me. More obviously, you overestimated the man you sent to do the job.
- Gibson Andrew Praise: I know what's on your mind. I know you're thinking about one of the girls you brought.
- Fox Mulder: Oh?
- Gibson Andrew Praise: Well, one of them's thinking about you.
- Agent Diana Fowley: Which one?
- Gibson Andrew Praise: He doesn't want me to say.
- Gibson Andrew Praise: I don't want to play any chess.
- Fox Mulder: How do you know I want to?
- Gibson Andrew Praise: 'Cause you got that cheapo chess computer in your hand.
- Fox Mulder: It's not so cheap. Don't you want to see how fast you can beat it?
- Gibson Andrew Praise: No.
- Fox Mulder: Maybe because you can't.
