Fritz Weaver: Senator Albert Sorenson

Quotes 

• Senator Albert Sorenson : Ms. Scully, you've had a good long time to think about the question that was asked in our last session. I wanna give you the opportunity to answer that question here, today, so I can help our good chairman here to get on with this proceeding.

  Dana Scully : I can't answer that question, sir.

  Senator Albert Sorenson : I'm going to ask you again: where is Special Agent Mulder, and why is he not here?

  Dana Scully : I'd be happy to answer your questions about the man carrying the diplomatic pouch...

  Senator Albert Sorenson : Agent Scully!

  Dana Scully : ...about his murder and my opinion about its connection to the death of Dr. Bonita Charne-Sayer of the World Health Organization...

  Senator Albert Sorenson : Ms. Scully, you'll get your chance...

  Dana Scully : ...or about the bio-toxin being transported within that pouch...

  Senator Albert Sorenson : Answer the question, Ms. Scully!

  Fox Mulder : [entering the inquest]  What *is* the question?

• Senator Romine : You don't seem to understand. Your response is not optional. You're an agent of the FBI.

  Dana Scully : Then may I please finish my statement, "that it is no longer possible for me to carry out my duties as an FBI agent."

  Senator Albert Sorenson : Are you tendering your resignation, Agent Scully? Is that what you're trying to say?

  Dana Scully : No sir. What I am saying is that there is a culture of lawlessness that has prevented me from doing my job. That the real target of this committee's investigation should be the men who are beyond prosecution and punishment. The men whose secret policies are behind the crimes that you are investigating.
