- [catching Skinner off-guard]
- Fox Mulder: I was just trying to reach you. I think your phone's off the hook.
- Walter Skinner: I needed some sleep.
- Fox Mulder: Is that why you're taking the garbage out at 4 in the morning?
- Walter Skinner: I won't be a party to murder.
- Cigarette Smoking Man: I wouldn't get too comfortable on your moral high ground, Mr. Skinner. This only happened because you left your job unfinished.
- Walter Skinner: You didn't have to kill him. He didn't have to die.
- Cigarette Smoking Man: You're in no position to question the terms of our arrangement.
