- Scully: [holding an Apollo 11 keychain] I actually was thinking about, uh, this gift that you gave me for my birthday. You never got to tell me why you gave it to me or what it means, but I think I know. I think that you appreciate that there are extraordinary men and women and extraordinary moments when history leaps forward on the backs of these individuals, that what can be imagined can be achieved, that you must dare to dream, but that there's no substitute for perseverance and hard work and teamwork because no one gets there alone; and that, while we commemorate the... the greatness of these events and the individuals who achieve them, we cannot forget the sacrifice of those who make these achievements and leaps possible.
- Mulder: I just thought it was a pretty cool keychain.
- Sharon Graffia: These tapes. You don't mind if I keep them?
- Mulder: No, I think you should consider yourself the sole curator of the Max Fenig rolling multimedia library and archive, and you should probably get tax-exempt status as soon as you can. This stuff could be worth something someday.
- Max Fenig: All I wanted in life was to be left alone; don't we all? So just my luck that I'd eventually become an alien abductee. Now I'm never alone. Any minute, when I'm least expecting it...
- [waves hand towards sky]
- Max Fenig: And the worst part is *no one* believes you. Well, almost no one. So I've devoted my life to providing all you disbelievers out there with proof. Proof that there are extraterrestrial biological entities right now, as we speak, visiting our planet in alien ships for purposes of a rather troubling agenda known only to certain members of the government, the FBI and certain high-ranking members of the military-industrial community who have recovered some of these very craft. Not that they would admit to it publicly, of course. Nor would they admit that they have salvaged some of this alien technology and are using it in military applications. No, that would be un-American. And they wont admit it until someone confronts them with irrefutable, undeniable proof. Someone like me. And, uh, I should probably mention that I do this at great risk to my own health and safety, but hey, when everyday's just another day you're gonna get kidnapped by a bunch of little grey dudes from outer space, what's a few CIA spooks to worry about?
