‘Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man’
“Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You’re stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there’s nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there’s a peanut butter cup or an English toffee, but they’re gone too fast, and the taste is…fleeting so you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts and if you’re desperate enough to eat those all you’ve got left is a…is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers.”

‘Memento Mori’
“For the first time, I feel time like a heartbeat, the seconds pumping in my breast like a reckoning; the numinous mysteries that once seemed so distant and unreal, threatening clarity in the presence of a truth entertained not in youth but only in its passage. I feel these words as if their meaning were weight being lifted from me, knowing that you will read them and share my burden, as I have come to trust no other. That you should know my heart, look into it, finding there the memory and experience that belong to you, that are you, is a comfort to me now as I feel the tethers loose and the prospects darken for the continuance of a journey that began not so long ago, and which began again with a faith shaken and strengthened by your convictions. If not for which, I might never have been so strong now, as I cross to face you and look at you incomplete, hoping that you will forgive me for not making the rest of the journey with you.”
--Dana Scully (first journal entry to Fox Mulder)

“In med school, I learned that cancer arrives in the body unannounced, a dark stranger who takes up residence, turning its new home against itself. This is the evil of cancer—that it starts as an invader, but soon becomes one with the invaded, forcing you to destroy it but only at the risk of destroying yourself. It is science’s demon possession; my treatments, science’s attempts at exorcism. Mulder, I hope that in these terms, you might know it and know me, and accept this stranger as someone you recognize but cannot ever completely cast out. And if the darkness should have swallowed me as you read this, you must never think there was a possibility of some secret intervention, something you might have done. And though we’ve traveled far together, this last distance must necessarily be traveled alone.”
--Dana Scully (second journal entry to Fox Mulder)

“Pick out something black and sexy and prepare to do some funky poaching.”
--Fox Mulder

“Smile, Byers, you’re on Candid Camera.”
--Frohike

“I have not written to you in the last twenty-four hours because the treatment has weakened my spirit as well as my body. Mulder, it’s difficult to describe to you the fear of facing an enemy which I can neither conquer nor escape. Peggy Northern has taken a downturn; I now look at her with a respect that can only come from one who is about to walk the same, dark path. Seeing her, I can’t help but see myself in a month or a year. I pray that I have her courage to face this journey. Mulder, I feel you close, though I know you are now pursuing your own path; for that, I am grateful, more than I could ever express. I need to know you’re out there if I am ever to see through this.”
--Dana Scully (third journal entry to Fox Mulder)

Fox Mulder: “Is she gone? I’m sorry. I know what she meant to you. When…I came to find you, you weren’t in your room and I got scared that something had happened…and I read some of what you wrote.”
Dana Scully: “I didn’t want you to read that. I had decided to throw it out. I decided tonight that, um…that I’m not going to let this thing beat me. I came into this hospital able to work, and that’s how I’m leaving.”
Mulder: “Byers tell you about Dr. Scanlon?”
Scully: “Yes.”
Mulder: “He may very well have killed those women.”
Scully: “That will have be proven, if we find him.”
Mulder: “When we find him. Scully, something was done to you, something that you’re just beginning to remember, you can’t quite figure it out, but it can be explained and it will be explained. And no matter what you think as a scientist or a doctor, there is a way and you will find it to save yourself.”
Scully: “Mulder, I can’t kid myself. People live with cancer, they carry on… and so will I. You know I’ve got things to finish—to prove to myself, to my family…but for my own reasons.”
Mulder: “Welcome back. The truth will save you, Scully. I think it’ll save both of us.”

Dana Scully: “Agent Mulder has been…concerned. He’s been supportive through this time and…”
Dr. Kosseff: “Do you feel that you owe it to him to continue working?”

Dana Scully: “I saw something, Mulder.”
Fox Mulder: “What?”
Scully: “The fourth victim. I saw her in the bathroom before you came to tell me.”
Mulder: “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Scully: “Because I didn’t believe it. Because I don’t want to believe it.”
Mulder: “Is that why you came down here, to prove that it wasn’t true?”
Scully: “No. I came down here because you asked me to.”
Mulder: “Why can’t you be honest with me?”
Scully: “What do you want me to say? That you’re right? That—that I believe it even if I don’t? I mean, is that what you want?”
Mulder: “Is that what you think I want to hear?”
Scully: “No.”
Mulder: “You can believe what you want to believe, Scully, but you can’t hide the truth from me. Because if you do, then you’re working against me—and yourself. I know what you’re afraid of. I’m afraid of the same thing.”
Scully: “The doctor said I was fine.”
Mulder: “I hope that’s the truth.”
