Quotes 

• Mulder : How's everybody doing?

  Scully : [holding her newborn]  We're doing just fine.

  Mulder : [to the baby, starting to cry]  Hey, now. None of that.

  [holds the baby in his arms] 

  Mulder : What are you going to call him?

  Scully : William. After your father.

  Mulder : Well, I don't know. He's... he's got your coloring and your eyes, but he looks suspiciously like Assistant Director Skinner...

  Scully : [chuckles tearfully]  I don't understand, Mulder. They came to take him from us; why they didn't...

  Mulder : I don't quite understand that either, except that maybe he isn't what they thought he was. That doesn't make him any less of a miracle though, does it?

  Scully : From the moment I became pregnant, I feared the truth... about how... and why. And I know that you feared it, too.

  Mulder : I think what we feared were the possibilities. The truth we both know.

  Scully : Which is what?

  [Mulder leans in for a kiss] 

• Alex Krycek : [pointing a gun at Mulder]  It doesn't seem fair now. It doesn't seem right... coming out of this.

  Mulder : What do you know about fair or right, Krycek? You're a coward.

  Alex Krycek : I could've killed you so many times, Mulder, you gotta know that. I'm the one that kept you alive... praying you'd win somehow.

  Mulder : Then there really is no God.

  Alex Krycek : You think I'm bad; I'm a killer. We wanted the same thing, brother, that's what you don't understand.

  Mulder : I wanted to stop them. All you wanted was to save your own ass.

  Alex Krycek : No. I tried to stop them. I tried to kill Scully's baby to stop them, but it's too late. The tragedy is that you... you wouldn't let it go!... That's why I have to do this. 'Cause you know how deep it goes, right into the FBI.

  Mulder : You want to kill me, Alex, kill me, like you killed my father.

  [slowly walks toward Krycek] 

  Mulder : Just don't insult me trying to make me understand.

• Mulder : You told me that he told you he knew how to stop Billy Miles. Are you telling me now that you think he's a liar?

  John Doggett : He is or he isn't. What the hell difference does it really make?

  Mulder : It doesn't make any difference at all unless you want to protect Scully and that baby.

  John Doggett : And then what? How long can you keep this up? How long until the next Billy Miles rears his head - the next threat, the next phantom - you ever stop to ask yourself? All the sacrifice, the blood-spill... You've given nearly a decade of your life. Where the hell is it all gonna end?

  Mulder : I don't know. Maybe it doesn't.
