Quotes 

• Scully : Time passes in moments... moments, which, rushing past, define the path of a life just as surely as they lead towards its end. How rarely do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen, to consider whether the path we take in life is our own making or simply one into which we drift with eyes closed. But what if we could stop, pause to take stock of each precious moment before it passes? Might we then see the endless forks in the road that have shaped a life and, seeing those choices, choose another path?

• Mulder : I don't think you can know. I mean, how many different lives would we be leading if we made different choices. We... we don't know.

  Scully : What if there was only one choice and all the other ones were wrong, and there were signs along the way to pay attention to?

  Mulder : Mmm. And all the... choices would then lead to this very moment. One wrong turn, and... we wouldn't be sitting here together. Well, that says a lot. That says a lot, a lot, a lot. That's probably more than we should be getting into at this late hour.

• Scully : Mulder, look, we're always running. We're always chasing the next big thing. Why don't you ever just stay still?

  Mulder : I wouldn't know what I'd be missing.

• Scully : Crop circles, Mulder?

• Scully : And I didn't say that God spoke back. I said that I had some kind of a vision.

  Mulder : For you that's like saying that you are having David Crosby's baby.

• Scully : Maybe sometimes nothing happens for a reason.

  Mulder : What does that mean?

  Scully : Nothing. Come on, I'll make you some tea.
