- Mulder: One more anal-probing gyro-pyro levitating ecoplasm alien anti-matter story and I'm going to take out my gun and shoot somebody.
- Mulder: You know, you try to reveal what's hidden, you try to incite people with the facts, but they'd rather believe some insane nonsense, refusing to believe what our government is capable of.
- Alex Krycek: Well, look who's answering the bat-phone.
- The Well-Manicured Man: Alex Krycek.
- Alex Krycek: Those guys too cheap to offer you a pension plan?
- The Well-Manicured Man: Where are you?
- Alex Krycek: I'm in town, actually. New York City.
- The Well-Manicured Man: Just tell us what you want.
- Alex Krycek: You've been working on a vaccine, against the Black Oil.

- The Well-Manicured Man: Our research continues.
- Alex Krycek: I'll take everything you've got.
- The Well-Manicured Man: In exchange for...
- Alex Krycek: The boy.
- The Well-Manicured Man: Why is that in our interest?

- The Well-Manicured Man: And what does he know?
- Alex Krycek: That's my opening offer. The longer you wait, the skinnier this kid gets.
- Alex Krycek: You go back and tell them...
- Marita Covarrubias: Tell them what? What happened here?
- Alex Krycek: Tell them it's all going to hell.
- Mulder: I don't think you understand. There's just too much evidence that it's all been a lie. The conspiracy is not to hide the existence of extraterrestrials. It's to make people believe in it so completely that they question nothing.
- Dr. Heitz Werber: So, you and I have just been advocates of insanity all along? Is this the extreme possibility you believe in now?
