- Skinner: Every minute of every day, we choose. Who we are. Who we forgive. Who we defend and protect. To choose a side or to walk the line. To play the middle. To straddle the fence between what is and what should be. This was the course I chose. Trying to find the delicate balance of interests that can never exist. Choosing by not choosing. Defending a center which cannot hold. So death chose for me.
- Uniformed Cop: I'm not so sure you should be doing that.
- Fox Mulder: [Flipping through documents on Dr. Orgel's desk] This is a crime scene. What would you rather I be doing?
- Uniformed Cop: Uh, it's just that I'm concerned for Dr. Orgel's personal property and the preservation of evidence.
- Fox Mulder: I would be a lot more concerned with the preservation of Dr. Orgel.
