Quotes 

• Salvatore Matola : They said it'd be like living two lifetimes. And that... at first, that... that's what it was like. Not having to sleep and all made us feel like nothin' could touch us, you know? We'd do 24 hour patrols, night ambushes, you know, that type of thing.

  Fox Mulder : And you never got tired?

  Salvatore Matola : Nah. Not so that we had to sleep. And then, nothing that the pills couldn't fix.

  Fox Mulder : Serotonin?

  Salvatore Matola : Yeah.

  Fox Mulder : How long did this go on?

  Salvatore Matola : Quite awhile, I'd say. Quite awhile until we stopped taking orders from company commander in Saigon.

  Krycek : The entire squadron went AWOL?

  Salvatore Matola : Yeah, somethin' like that.

  Fox Mulder : Well, then who did you take orders from?

  Salvatore Matola : We didn't. We just made up missions as we went along, until it didn't matter anymore who we were killing. Farmers, women. Outside of Phu Bai, there was this... school and uh... they were just kids.

• Krycek : Scully's a problem. A much larger problem than you described.

  The Cigarette Smoking Man : Every problem has a solution.

• Krycek : The victim's name was Henry Willig. Unemployed and lived on disability. Police found no indication of forced entry or struggle, no abrasions or contusions on the body and cause of death is being listed as a burst aneurysm.

  Fox Mulder : So why did your friend from Homicide call us?

  Krycek : Because the medical examiner called him. The autopsy revealed forty-three small internal hemorrhages and skeletal fragments, which doesn't just happen spontaneously. Not without some corresponding external trauma.

  Fox Mulder : So what does the M.E. have to say about it?

  Krycek : He said if he didn't know otherwise, he would swear they were gunshot wounds.
