Quotes 

• The Cigarette Smoking Man : You've been at the wheel too long. Would you like me to drive?

  Scully : I might if you let me know where we're going.

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : Knowing that, you'd feel comfortable? You'd trust me? How long did it take Mulder to win your trust?

  Scully : I've always trusted Mulder.

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : You're not being honest with yourself. Think back. There was a time when you feared for your future, for your career when you were first partnered with this man. I told you, I've studied you for years... and if you would permit me, I'd like to make an observation. You're drawn to powerful men but you fear their power. You keep your guard up, a wall around your heart. How else do you explain that fearless devotion to a man obsessed, and, yet, a life alone? You'd die for Mulder but you won't allow yourself to love him.

  Scully : Wow. I'm learning a whole other side to you. You're not just a cold-blooded killer, you're a pop psychologist as well.

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : I've been a destroyer all my life. Before I die, I'd like to prove that I'm capable of something more. Turn here, on the left.

  Scully : Where are we going?

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : To show you what I'm capable of.

• The Cigarette Smoking Man : How do you take your coffee?

  Scully : Unadulterated, thank you.

• Scully : What the hell are you doing?

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : God's work, what else?

• Scully : [to Mulder]  You may be right... but for a moment, I saw something else in him. A longing for something more than power. Maybe for something he could never have.

  [Cigarette Smoking Man stands outside on the dock. He looks at the disk, then sighs and tosses it into the water. He takes a cigarette out and lights it] 

• Walter Skinner : [when the phone rings]  That's my private line.

  [he picks it up] 

  Walter Skinner : Skinner?

  Scully : [on the other side]  Sir?

  Walter Skinner : Agent Scully, where are you?

  [Mulder makes a gesture at Skinner to give him the phone] 

  Scully : I'm on the road. Um, I'm sorry to call you on this line.

  Walter Skinner : No, it's all right. It's just we've been worried about you.

  Scully : Everything's okay. I just wanted you to express that to Mulder.

  Walter Skinner : Well, he's standing right here. Why don't you do that yourself?

  [Mulder once again tries to reach the phone] 

  Scully : No sir, that's all right. Can you tell him that I'll call him later? Just... just tell him that I'm fine.

  [she hangs up] 

  Walter Skinner : She says she's fine.

  Fox Mulder : [knowing she's trying to say something else]  She's in trouble.

• The Cigarette Smoking Man : It's the cure for all human disease.

  Scully : [shocked]  How?

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : It's from that final frontier. It's largely extraterrestrial.

  Scully : Then you would be cured...

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : That which makes miracles can also make great evil. There are those who would use this power for their own purposes: To choose who will live and who will die. Theoretically, I can be cured... Everything I've told you about wanting to make right?

  [depressed] 

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : I'm a lonely man, Dana.

• The Cigarette Smoking Man : Dana...

  Scully : [hateful]  Yes, I got it.

  [She slaps the disk into his hand and turns away] 

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : Forgive me. Here... take it. This is for you.

  [He hands the disk back to her. She leaves quickly] 

  Scully : [Quickly]  I've gotta go.

  [Leaves without another word] 

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : [looking after her, wistfully]  Go...

• Scully : [disapprovingly]  You're going to smoke.

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : [throws out the ciggarette]  It's time I quit.

  Scully : Just like that.

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : No sacrifice is purely altruistic. We give expecting to receive.

  Scully : What exactly is it you expect to receive?

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : Your trust. You question my sincerity. You think I'm heartless. Would it soften your opinion of me if I confessed that I've always had a particular affection for you?

  [Scully looks at him warily] 

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : I assure you my intentions are honorable. I have affection for Mulder too. My affection for you is special. I held your life in my hands. Your cancer was terminal. I had a cure. Can you imagine what that's like - to have the power to extinguish a life or to save it and let it flourish? Now, to give you that power, so you can do the same.

  [Scully feels uneasy]
