- Dana Scully: Our friend from the C.I.A. is about as unbelievable as his story... as is everything about this case. I mean, whatever happened to "trust no one", Mulder?
- Fox Mulder: Oh, I changed it to "trust everyone". I didn't tell you?
- Fox Mulder: I have been looking for you.
- Dana Scully: I was just down the street. Someone fired more shots at the White House last night.
- Fox Mulder: You got to wonder about a country where even the President has to worry about drive-by shootings.
- [Scully thinks that one of Mulder's sources may have murdered an FBI agent]
- Fox Mulder: Is that what you want me to put on my report to Skinner? Because I would be more than happy to have you explain that to him.
- Dana Scully: Damn it, Mulder, that is not my job. You'll pursue a case at the expense of everything, to the point of insanity, and expect me to follow you. There has to be somewhere to draw the line.
- Fox Mulder: Three identical men are dead. A fourth identical man is alive and on the lam. If the pursuit of this case seems like insanity to you, feel free to step away from it.
