- John Doggett: I know the answer, Agent Scully.
- Scully: You don't even know the question.
- John Doggett: What happened to Mulder. I know what you're gonna say or not because you think I'm the big bad wolf. Do you really believe it?
- Scully: You think by talking in circles I'm just going to get dizzy and blurt it out, this so-called answer?
- John Doggett: That he was abducted by aliens?
- Scully: You said it, I didn't.
- John Doggett: I guess I just find it hard to swallow that a scientist, a serious person, could buy that. Ever see an alien, Agent Scully?
- Scully: You want me to go on record? I will go on record to say this: That I have seen things that I cannot explain. I have observed phenomena that I cannot deny; and that as a scientist and a serious person, it is a badge of honor not to dismiss these things because someone thinks they're BS!
- John Doggett: How far would Agent Mulder go?
- Scully: How far would he go for what?
- John Doggett: The truth. His truth. Whatever it was he was trying to prove. How bad did he need to prove it?
- [last lines]
- Gibson Andrew Praise: Let me go! Let me go!
- John Doggett: Let the boy go! Let him go, Mulder!
- [We zoom in on a man who looks identical to Mulder. Could it really be him?]
- Walter Skinner: Agent Mulder was only after the truth.
- FBI Deputy Director Alvin Kersh: As are we, Assistant Director.
- John Doggett: What are you doing here?
- Scully: What are *you* doing here?
- John Doggett: Trying to find Mulder.
- FBI Deputy Director Alvin Kersh: [to Scully and Skinner] Anything leaves this building about aliens or alien abductions or any other nonsense that might cast the Bureau in a ridiculous light, then you can forget about looking for Agent Mulder. You'll both be looking for new jobs.
- Walter Skinner: [Scully puts her hand on his shoulder as a way to comfort him] It's not good enough.
