	Season 9 / Episode 19: - The Truth (1) Scully: Mulder, it's me. Mulder: Oh. Is it time to go? Scully: No. That's why I'm here. Mulder, I need you to talk to me. Confide in me... or we'll lose. Mulder: We can't win, Scully. We can only hope to go down fighting. Scully: You're scaring me. Mulder, I'm so scared that I've just got you back and now I'm going to lose you again. Mulder: I know what I'm doing. Scully: Well... whatever you're doing... you have no idea how much has already been lost... What I've had to do... Mulder: I do know. Skinner told me. Scully: Our son, Mulder... I gave him up. Our son. I'm so afraid you could never forgive me. Mulder: I know you had no choice. I just missed both of you so much. Scully: God, where have you been? Where have you been hiding? Mulder: In New Mexico. Scully: Doing what? Mulder: Looking for The Truth. Scully: You found something, didn't you? Huh? What did you find? Mulder: I can't tell you. Scully: You found something in that facility? That's what you were doing, right? Mulder, what did you find out there? Mulder: Scully, I can't tell you. Scully: That doesn't make sense. Mulder: You've got to trust me, Scully. I know things. It's better you don't.

	Season 9 / Episode 19: - The Truth (1) Scully: What are you thinking? Mulder? Mulder: I'm thinking... I'm a guilty man. I've failed in every respect. I deserve the harshest punishment for my crimes. Scully: You don't believe that. Mulder: I believe... that I sat in a motel room like this with you when we first met... and I tried to convince you of the truth. And in that respect, I succeeded, but... in every other way... I've failed. Scully: You don't believe that, either. Mulder: Mm. I've been chasing after monsters with a butterfly net. You heard the man - the date's set. I can't change that. Scully: You wouldn't tell me. Not because you were afraid or broken... but because you didn't want to accept defeat. Mulder: Well, I was afraid of what knowing would do to you. I was afraid that it would crush... your spirit. Scully: Why would I accept defeat? Why would I accept it, if you won't? Mulder, you say that you've failed, but you only fail if you give up. And I know you - you can't give up. It's what I saw in you when we first met. It's what made me follow you... why I'd do it all over again. Mulder: And look what it's gotten you. Scully: And what has it gotten you? Not your sister. Nothing that you've set out for. But you won't give up, even now. You've always said that you want to believe. But believe in what Mulder? If this is the truth that you've been looking for, then what is left to believe in? Mulder: I want to believe that... the dead are not lost to us. That they speak to us... as part of something greater than us - greater than any alien force. And if you and I are powerless now, I want to believe that if we listen, to what's speaking, it can give us the power to save ourselves. Scully: Then we believe the same thing. Mulder: Maybe there's hope.
	Season 9 / Episode 19: - The Truth (1) The Cigarette Smoking Man: It's a scary story. You want to come sit on my lap? Scully: You don't scare me. The Cigarette Smoking Man: My story's scared every president since Truman in '47.

Scully: You weren't able to make an identification? Barbara Doggett: I didn't expect to. You know he doesn't think clearly about this. He can't. Scully: He blames himself. Barbara Doggett: He thinks he failed Luke. In his mind, he can never do enough, never suffer enough, for what happened. I think if you can help him find the man who did this, maybe... he could move on. He and Monica could really have something together. He just won't let her in.
	Season 9 / Episode 16: - William Mr Van de Kamp: Easy there, hon. You're cleaning so hard I'm afraid you're going to stick the dog in the dishwasher. Hey. Come on, now. Quit it. This is what we dreamed about. What we prayed for. Mrs Van de Kamp: I know. I'm sorry. I just can't stop wondering why. Why give up a child? Give it up to strangers? Mr Van de Kamp: God has his reason and his ways. Older Social Worker: Mr and Mrs Van de Kamp. Hi. This was so hard to find. I'm so sorry, but there's a page here that didn't get signed. If I can just get you to do that now. Mr Van de Kamp: Okay. Older Social Worker: Here we go. Right there. Mr Van de Kamp: Thanks. Mrs Van de Kamp: I keep asking myself a question. I know there's been a medical exam... but are you sure he's okay? Mr Van de Kamp: Now, honey. Mrs Van de Kamp: Well, why would the mother give him up? Older Social Worker: You should understand... this was a life choice by a single mother and a terribly difficult decision for her. But I can say - it was only for the good of the child. Young Social Worker: I want you to meet William.
	Season 9 / Episode 15: - Jump the Shark Morris Fletcher: Well, watching you three trying to find your butts with both hands is not my idea of a fun time.
	Season 9 / Episode 15: - Jump the Shark Morris Fletcher: Once upon a time, there were three... how should I put this... geeks. Three more unlikely heroes... there never were. It wasn't long before their naiveté nearly got them killed. Until they hooked up with an FBI agent... And began publishing a - what shall I call it? "rag" called "The Lone Gunmen". From their cramped basement office they pointed fingers at powerful, evil forces... And some not so evil. In their own unique way, the three gunmen were patriots, fighting the good fight. And provided... expertise for their friends at the FBI. For a brief time it looked as if they might actually make a difference in this cold, cruel world. They acquired an intern who believed in their cause. And a powerful, beautiful nemesis... who became an ally. But the world is not kind to idealists... and those who fight the Good Fight don't always win.
	Season 9 / Episode 14: - Scary Monsters FBI Agent Leyla Harrison: [after talking to the boy finding out she dregged them out there for no reason] I apologize.

	Season 9 / Episode 14: - Scary Monsters FBI Agent Leyla Harrison: Agent Mulder wasted no time closing that case. I just try to think like him. What would Agents Mulder and Scully do if they were in this situation? John Doggett: Agents Mulder and Scully aren't in this situation. Agents Doggett and Reyes are. I don't know about Agent Reyes, but Agent Doggett's going to sit his tired ass down.
	Season 9 / Episode 13: - Improbable Mr. Burt: [held at gunpoint by Scully for the second time] So, what you're saying is I had nothing to do with it? Dana Scully: [Mr Burt puts down his hands] Hey, keep you hands up! Mr. Burt: Why? Dana Scully: I don't know.
	Season 9 / Episode 13: - Improbable Mr. Burt: What's this about numbers? Dana Scully: Will you just...! Mr. Burt: I'm very good with numbers. Monica Reyes: The killer is driven by an impuls we believe is numerological. Mr. Burt: Of course, he's a serial killer.

	Season 9 / Episode 12: - Underneath Duke Tomasick: I'm sorry, John. John Doggett: You framed Fassl. Duke Tomasick: You saw how it was going down. We arrested him at the scene, but he left no prints, no hair, no fibre. Nothing to actually tie him to the murders. John Doggett: How did you do it? Duke Tomasick: It took a... part of a hair sample that was found at a previous murder and I put it in with the evidence from our crime scene. Johnny... it was the one and only time I ever did anything like that. I was scared Fassl would walk. I couldn't let that happen. Not when I knew that... I knew he was guilty. Guilty. God almighty. John Doggett: You know this is going to come out. I mean, no-one's going to hear it from me but... but I can't put Agent Scully on the spot. I can't ask her to lie. Duke Tomasick: I don't want you to. John Doggett: Duke, you son of a bitch! This is a felony! I don't know how I can forgive you for this. You break my heart.
	Season 9 / Episode 11: - Audrey Pauley John Doggett: Hell of a thing to wake up to, huh? We stopped after work. She had a beer. Scully: Well, the man who hit her had fifteen. Don't do this to yourself, John.
	Season 9 / Episode 11: - Audrey Pauley Scully: It's true, John. She's gone. John Doggett: I don't accept that. Look at her breathing. Her heart's still beating. There's got to be hope. Scully: There's no measurable electrical activity in her brain. Brain death is... indeed death, John. I'm sorry.
	Season 9 / Episode 11: - Audrey Pauley John Doggett: Oh, it's all right. You work here? Audrey Pauley: I'm a patient aide. I deliver the flowers mostly. Are you her husband? You love her, though. She's not gone. Not her soul. John Doggett: I wish I could talk to her. I wish I could tell her... Guess I wish a lot of things.
	Season 9 / Episode 11: - Audrey Pauley Audrey Pauley: Your name is John, right? She has a message for you. She says you're a dog person. John Doggett: Wait. Where did you get that? Who said that to you? Audrey Pauley: I told you. She's not gone.
	Season 9 / Episode 11: - Audrey Pauley Monica Reyes: You are a dog person, John.
	Season 9 / Episode 10: - Providence (2) Scully: I'm on my way. That was Agent Doggett again. They're waiting. Mom, I've got to go. Margaret Scully: It's the middle of the night, Dana. I just don't understand what can't wait 'til tomorrow. Scully: Mom, it's important. I wouldn't go if it weren't. Margaret Scully: Yes, I know, Dana. You say it's about getting answers. Scully: Answers about William, Mom. Margaret Scully: I know you're worried about him... that there are things about him that you just can't explain - but even if you were to get those answers what would it change? Scully: Mom, he's my child. Margaret Scully: And you have to love him and raise him in spite of everything. Dana, god has given you a miracle. A child that wasn't supposed to be. Maybe it's not to question... just to be taken as a matter of faith. Scully: Mom, I can't take this on faith. I need to know. I need to know if it's really God I have to thank.
	Season 9 / Episode 8: - Hellbound Detective Van Allen: You Reyes? John Doggett: I'm Doggett. She's Reyes. Monica Reyes: Detective Van Allen? Detective Van Allen: That's right. Monica Reyes: I appreciate your help on this. Detective Van Allen: What help is that? Monica Reyes: On this investigation. Detective Van Allen: There isn't a lot to investigate. I mean, Victor Potts wasn't exactly one of the FBI's ten most wanted. John Doggett: I think she means your insight into the way he died, Detective. Detective Van Allen: Don't have any. But I'm sure you'd rather talk to somebody who actually gives a damn, right? John Doggett: Hate to say it but, he probably sums up most peoples feelings.
	Season 9 / Episode 6: - Trust No 1 Scully: Hold no hope you can respond to this. Or that it reaches you. I only hope that you are alive. I cannot help believing that you jumped off that train because you knew what I now know - that these "Super Soldiers", if that's what they are, can in fact be destroyed. That the key to their destruction lies in the iron compound at that quarry. I am scared for you, Mulder. And for William. The forces against us are unrelenting. But so is my determination. To see you again. To regain the comfort and safety that we shared for so brief a time. Until then, I remain forever yours - Dana.
	Season 9 / Episode 6: - Trust No 1 Scully: One day, you'll ask me to speak of a truth - of the miracle of your birth. To explain what is unexplained. And if I falter or fail on this day, know there is an answer, my child, a sacred imperishable truth, but one you may never hope to find alone. Chance meeting your perfect other, your perfect opposite - your protector and endangerer. Chance embarking with this other on the greatest of journeys - a search for truths fugitive and imponderable. If one day this chance may befall you, my son, do not fail or falter to seize it. The truths are out there. And if one day you should behold a miracle, as I have in you, you will learn the truth is not found in science, or on some unseen plane, but by looking into your own heart. And in that moment you will be blessed - and stricken. For the truest truths, are what hold us together, or keep us painfully, desperately apart.
