- Mulder: How's everybody doing?
- Scully: [holding her newborn] We're doing just fine.
- Mulder: [to the baby, starting to cry] Hey, now. None of that.
- [holds the baby in his arms]
- Mulder: What are you going to call him?
- Scully: William. After your father.
- Mulder: Well, I don't know. He's... he's got your coloring and your eyes, but he looks suspiciously like Assistant Director Skinner...
- Scully: [chuckles tearfully] I don't understand, Mulder. They came to take him from us; why they didn't...
- Mulder: I don't quite understand that either, except that maybe he isn't what they thought he was. That doesn't make him any less of a miracle though, does it?
- Scully: From the moment I became pregnant, I feared the truth... about how... and why. And I know that you feared it, too.
- Mulder: I think what we feared were the possibilities. The truth we both know.
- Scully: Which is what?
- [Mulder leans in for a kiss]
- Alex Krycek: [pointing a gun at Mulder] It doesn't seem fair now. It doesn't seem right... coming out of this.
- Mulder: What do you know about fair or right, Krycek? You're a coward.
- Alex Krycek: I could've killed you so many times, Mulder, you gotta know that. I'm the one that kept you alive... praying you'd win somehow.
- Mulder: Then there really is no God.
- Alex Krycek: You think I'm bad; I'm a killer. We wanted the same thing, brother, that's what you don't understand.
- Mulder: I wanted to stop them. All you wanted was to save your own ass.
- Alex Krycek: No. I tried to stop them. I tried to kill Scully's baby to stop them, but it's too late. The tragedy is that you... you wouldn't let it go!... That's why I have to do this. 'Cause you know how deep it goes, right into the FBI.
- Mulder: You want to kill me, Alex, kill me, like you killed my father.
- [slowly walks toward Krycek]
- Mulder: Just don't insult me trying to make me understand.
- Mulder: You told me that he told you he knew how to stop Billy Miles. Are you telling me now that you think he's a liar?
- John Doggett: He is or he isn't. What the hell difference does it really make?
- Mulder: It doesn't make any difference at all unless you want to protect Scully and that baby.
- John Doggett: And then what? How long can you keep this up? How long until the next Billy Miles rears his head - the next threat, the next phantom - you ever stop to ask yourself? All the sacrifice, the blood-spill... You've given nearly a decade of your life. Where the hell is it all gonna end?
- Mulder: I don't know. Maybe it doesn't.
- FBI Deputy Director Alvin Kersh: I'm to take this story seriously? These incidents at the FBI, this account of Agent Scully's birth - I'm to submit this report as quality investigative work, as representative of actual fact?
- John Doggett: I signed the report there, sir.
- FBI Deputy Director Alvin Kersh: Yeah, I see it, John. And I see her signature here, too.
- [turns to Agent Reyes]
- FBI Deputy Director Alvin Kersh: ... on an X-File? I'd like to know when you assigned yourself, Agent Reyes.
- Monica Reyes: Agent Doggett assigned me, sir.
- FBI Deputy Director Alvin Kersh: Agent Doggett cannot just assume the authority of this office.
- John Doggett: I assume it because this office is under investigation for a late night meeting between you, Agent Crane, and an intelligence operative named Knowle Rohrer.
- Monica Reyes: Both men were presumed dead, but are now missing, in actual fact.
- [they begin to walk out of Kersh's office]
- FBI Deputy Director Alvin Kersh: You investigate what *I* tell you.
- John Doggett: And you put me on the X-Files: that's what I'm investigating.
- [after being shot by Skinner]
- Alex Krycek: It's going to take more bullets than you can ever fire to win this game. One bullet, and I can give you a thousand lives... shoot Mulder.
- [Skinner shoots Krycek in the head]
- Monica Reyes: I have to say, with everything I know you must be feeling, you look amazingly beautiful, Dana.
- Scully: Are you all right, Agent Reyes?
- Monica Reyes: I should ask how you're doing. I mean, you're the one who's going to have this baby.
- Scully: That's it, isn't it? What you're really worried about?
- Monica Reyes: Aside from whatever danger we're in... where we're going doesn't sound like... there's all that much in the way of a... facility. You know what I mean? I've never delivered a baby.
- Scully: Well, I've never had one. That makes us both beginners.
- [Reyes nervously smiles]
