Mulder:
I know why you're here and what you want. I can't give it to you.

Scully:
Make them a deal, Mulder. Guilty on a lesser charge. Maybe they'll go for it and they'll let you walk out of here.

Mulder:
I'd rather die, Scully.

Scully:
How can you say that? How can you say that, Mulder, to me?

Mulder:
Because this is greater than you or me. This is about everything we've worked for for nine years. The truth that we both sacrificed so much to uncover and to expose.

Scully:
Well, then, expose it, Mulder! Take the stand. Whatever it is that you're withholding, take the stand and hit them full force.

Mulder:
I can't.

Scully:
Why?

Mulder:
I just can't.

Scully:
You say this is greater than us, and maybe it is, but this is us fighting this fight, Mulder, not you. It's you and me. That's what I'm fighting for, Mulder. You and me. [She leaves]

X:
Get up.

Mulder:
Who's that? Who's there?! [X steps forward] What are you doing here?

X:
That's what I'm here to ask you.

Mulder:
I'm putting the truth on trial.

X:
What truth? Who's truth? You think these men will even hear it?

Mulder:
They're afraid to hear it.

X:
They're not afraid. They have too much power to be afraid. You're going to learn that just like I did. You'll die learning it.

Mulder:
I'm not afraid of that.

X:
There's a truth even you're afraid to speak now, because you know it's futile.

Mulder:
No. Because I refuse to accept it.

X:
Then you're going to need help.

Mulder:
How can you possibly help me? [X hands him a piece of paper with Marita Covarrubias' name & address on it]
