[last lines]
Dana Scully : Hey. Good to be back?
Fox Mulder : [with a raspy voice] Beats the alternative.
Dana Scully : Well, you'll be interested to know that Morley Tobacco has subpoenaed all of our files on the case. They seem extremely interested in your recovery.
Fox Mulder : What about Darrel Weaver?
Dana Scully : He's, uh... well enough to have been moved to the hospital ward at Raleigh Correctional.
Fox Mulder : It was the nicotine itself that was keeping him alive?
Dana Scully : Well, his fingertips were stained yellow with it. He was a four-pack-a-day smoker, far heavier than any of the focus group members who died. You know, nicotine is extremely poisonous. It's actually one of the oldest known insecticides.
Fox Mulder : It's good for killing tobacco beetles.
Dana Scully : Well, once we loaded your system up with enough of it, it acted as a sort of chemotherapy. Except it almost stopped your breathing at the same time.
Fox Mulder : That's not all it did.
[he opens his desk and reveals a carton of Morley brand ciggarettes]
Fox Mulder : I bought these on the way to work.
Dana Scully : [confounded] You're not going to start smoking?
Fox Mulder : Well, they say the addiction is stronger than heroin.
Dana Scully : Mulder...
[Mulder throws the carton in the trashcan]
Dana Scully : Good. Well, Skinner's waiting for us in his office.
Fox Mulder : I'll be right up.
[Scully leaves the room. Mulder then looks down at the carton of ciggarettes in the trashcan, leaving it vague if he picks them back up or not]

Fox Mulder : It must be bad.
Dana Scully : How do you feel?
Fox Mulder : Like a DustBuster attacked me.
