- Fox Mulder: I know you know who I am. You hid from me. And you hid from your mother.
- William: Yeah, 'cause I'm a danger to people.
- Fox Mulder: Well, I can help with that.
- William: You can't help me. All right? Nobody can help me. Okay? These people, they're never gonna stop coming for me. I've seen the future, all right? Like visions. I-I know what happens if they catch me. All the people who are gonna die.
- Fox Mulder: Your mother has those same visions.
- William: Then why don't you see them? Look, I don't want to live in that world. And, I don't know, maybe I can stop it. If I didn't exist...
- Fox Mulder: It's not your fault, William.
- William: Yes, it is.
- Fox Mulder: Then let me help you stop it.
- William: You can't. All right. 'Cause you die, too.
- Fox Mulder: You'd shoot your firstborn son?
- Cigarette Smoking Man: Shot my second-born son once. But I need you to know, Fox, when I gave you life, I never fathomed the moment would come when I would need to end it.
- Fox Mulder: I don't think you can do it.
- Cigarette Smoking Man: Then you don't know me very well.
- Fox Mulder: For so long I believed. What am I now if I'm not a father?
- Dana Scully: You are a father.
- Fox Mulder: What are you talking about?
- [she puts Mulder's hand on her belly]
- Fox Mulder: That's impossible.
- Dana Scully: I know. I know it is. It's more than impossible.
