Quotes

 * Fox Mulder: Scully, you looked so adorbs just there, all curled up in a ball in the booth of a skanky bar with your fingers wrapped around the grip of an assassin's Glock.

....
 * Fox Mulder: Uh, it's Mulder and Scully.
 * Ringo Langly: Scully? Dana? Dana Scully?
 * Fox Mulder: Yeah.
 * Ringo Langly: But I'm not real, though. That right? You are real and I'm not?
 * Fox Mulder: Doctor Hamby told us you were in a simulation.
 * Ringo Langly: Ah. Hmm. Mulder, it's like I designed heaven. I eat hot dogs and donuts all day long. No one here ever dies of cancer or Alzheimer's. And the Ramones are here, and they don't fight. And every night they get on stage and they play "California Sun," and I circle the mosh pit like they do on the west coast. There's consensual sex without blame or judgment. Oh, and the New England Patriots are here, and they never, ever win. Ever!

....
 * Walter Skinner: I need you to put the weapon down, Mulder.
 * Fox Mulder: Cannot do that, sir. You seem to be working with people who tried to kill us.
 * Walter Skinner: I don't work with them. The world is different, Mulder. When Scully started, it was just us. Dark forces in the U.S. government, there was barely a Russia. Now there's 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. Homeland Security, Russian FSB, Chinese MSS, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Blackwater. Private companies launch to the Space Station, and all of them are in bed with one another, while trying to exterminate each other, and that includes each of us.
 * Dana Scully: We need your help, Walter. Even if we don't trust you.

....
 * Fox Mulder: I'm gonna open an X-File on this bran muffin. I gotta get to the bottom of why it's so freaking good.
 * Dana Scully: I don't care if it came out of an alien's butt. I'm gonna eat the whole thing.
