Quotes
-
Alien Bounty Hunter : [opens the door to Mrs. Mulder's room and walks over to the bed, looking at the respirator. He looks over to the Cigarette-Smoking Man on the other side of the bed] I need to know the reasons why this should be.
The Cigarette Smoking Man : So that the work may continue. So that the project may proceed unabated by removing an unnecessary obstacle.
Alien Bounty Hunter : What obstacle?
The Cigarette Smoking Man : Agent Mulder, actually.
[stares down at Ms. Mulder and holds his unlit cigarette]
The Cigarette Smoking Man : If his mother were to die, he would...
Alien Bounty Hunter : He what?
The Cigarette Smoking Man : You see... the fiercest enemy is the man who has nothing left to lose. And you know how important Agent Mulder is to the equation.
Alien Bounty Hunter : [nods slightly, then closes the door, then places his hand on Mrs. Mulder's forehead and closes his eyes. Mrs. Mulder's eyes open and she looks at The Cigarette Smoking Man]

Elder : He isn't coming.
The Cigarette Smoking Man : I told you.
Elder : Then where is he?
The Cigarette Smoking Man : I don't know. Certainly he anticipated we'd be here waiting.
Elder : [the door opens and the Gray-Haired Man walks in. The Elder closes the door] Unless we have a security leak.
The Cigarette Smoking Man : Who?
Elder : I've come in receipt of some pictures... of your visit to Mrs. Mulder's summer house.
[He hands Cigarette Smoking Man a picture of him and Ms. Mulder arguing on the porch]
Elder : Were you aware you were being photographed?
The Cigarette Smoking Man : By whom?
Elder : I believe that can be determined by a simple planting of information... to see where that information flows.
The Cigarette Smoking Man : What information?
Elder : That Mrs. Mulder's life is in danger... that left unprotected... she may come to an unnatural end.
The Cigarette Smoking Man : [looks down at Mrs. Mulder]
