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. So, you're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. (sighs) 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 - 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.

Call back.
MAMan at conference table
I'm working on next month's Oscar nominations - any preference?
I couldn't care less. What I don't want is the Bills winning the Super Bowl. As long as I'm alive that doesn't happen.
(Talking about the Smoking Man, as he listens over the wiretap.) Henry David Thoreau wrote: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." His life has been anything but quiet - yet I believe, nothing but desperate. He's the most dangerous man alive - not so much because he believes in his actions, but because he believes those actions are all which life allows him... and yet, the only person that can never escape him, is himself.
I could kill you whenever I please... But not today.
S4 E8Tunguska
(slams on door, panting) We gotta get outta here. They’re gonna torture us.
How do you know?
They questioned me. Trying to get me to confess.
To what?
To being a spy.
(Pins Krycek against the cell wall) What did you tell them?
That we were stupid Americans, lost in the woods. Mulder, you’re gonna need me in here. (Mulder lets go of Krycek) ..Don’t touch me again.
S4 E10Paper Hearts
(to Mulder) You said it yourself, once - "a dream is an answer to a question we haven't learned how to ask."
Don't you think the car might've been searched at least once already?
Not by me.

(Excited) Honest to God? A serial killer owned my car? For real?
JLJohn Lee Roche
(Referring to the number of murders he confessed to) 13 sounds more magical.
S4 E11El Mundo Gira
The truth is... Nobody cares.
S4 E12Leonard Betts
What are we doing here, Mulder?
Did I mention that Mr Betts had no head?
You check out how he died, I wanna see how he lives.
(Correcting him) Lived.
Lived.
Will the real Leonard Betts please stand up.
S4 E13Never Again
(Scully wants a desk; Mulder is trying to figure out how to fit it in their tiny shared office) We'll put 'em really close together, face to face... maybe we could play some BATTLESHIP!
