[holding a gun on the Cigarette Smoking Man/Cancerman] Why her?? Why her and not me?? ..ANSWER ME!
..I like you. I like her, too - That's why she was returned to you.
[holds gun closer to CSM's head] You should be the one to die.
Why? Look at me. No wife. No family. Some power. I'm in the game because I believe what I'm doing is right.
Right? Who are you to decide what's right?
Who are you? ..If people were to know of things that I know.. It would all fall apart. I told Skinner you shot the man in the hospital, but I didn't really believe it. And here you are with a gun to my head. I have more respect for you, Mulder. You're becoming a player. You can kill me now, but you'll never know the truth.
[Mulder begins pressing the trigger of his gun, but then releases]
..And that's why I'll win. Don't worry - This will be our secret. We wouldn't others to.. start rumors.
