• Fox Mulder : Before, I could only trust myself. Now, I can only trust you.

• Fox Mulder : I was sent here by one of those people. Deep Throat said "Trust no one." And that's hard, Scully... suspecting everyone, everything. It wears you down. You even begin to doubt what you know is the truth. Before I could only trust myself. Now I can only trust you... and they've taken you away from me. My life up to this point has been about the need to see her again... to see them, but what would I do if they really came?

• Fox Mulder : From 1948 until recently, it

  Fox Mulder : was the largest telescope in the world. The idea and design came from a brilliant and wealthy astronomer named George Ellery Hale. Actually, the idea was presented to Hale one night. While he was playing billiards, an elf climbed in his window and told him to get money from the Rockefeller Foundation for a telescope.

  Dana Scully : And you're worried that all your life, you've been seeing elves?

  Fox Mulder : In my case... little green men.

  Dana Scully : But, Mulder... during your time with the X-Files, you've seen so much.

  Fox Mulder : That's just the point. Seeing is not enough, I should have something to hold onto. Some solid evidence. I learned that from you.

  Kurt Waldheim : I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. We step out of our solar system into the universe, seeking only peace...

  Fox Mulder : A gold-plated record depicting images, music and sounds of our planet, arranged so that it may be understood if ever intercepted by a technologically mature extraterrestrial civilization.

  Boy on Voyager recording : Hello from the children of planet Earth.

  Fox Mulder : Thirteen years after its launch, Voyager One passed the orbital plane of Neptune and essentially leaving our solar system. Within that time, there were no further messages sent. Nor are any planned. We wanted to listen. On October 12th, 1992, NASA initiated the high-resolution microwave survey. A decade long-search by radio telescope, scanning ten million frequencies for any transmission by extraterrestrial intelligence. Less than one year later, first-term Nevada Senator Richard Bryan successfully championed an amendment which terminated the project. I wanted to believe but the tools have been taken away. The X-Files have been shut down. They closed our eyes. Our voices have been silenced... our ears now deaf to the realms of extreme possibilities.

  Kurt Waldheim : I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. We step out of our solar system into the universe, seeking only peace and friendship... to teach...
