"What the hell were you thinking!"

"Scully, I just want to check things out, to see if there is anything we could do--"

"And otherwise jeopardizing his life, and ours."

"Things could be different, a lot different--"

"After everything we've been through the past few months, you think you can just find him and everything will be perfect and normal and fine? You want to throw everything away like that?"

"I miss him, Scully. You had all that time, and I didn't."

"You left."

"You know why I left."

"Mulder, William is gone."

"He doesn't have to be."

"William is gone."

"You've lost your faith."

'I've lost a lot of things."

"I just don't know why you didn't contact me before you did it. I could have done something. I would have figured something out."

"I didn't have a lot of options, Mulder."

"Scully, you should have let me try to save him."

"Mulder, I gave him away to save him. To give him a better life."

"You didn't have to do it. There's always another way."

"Don't tell me what I could or should have done. You were gone."

"And so you gave up. On me, on him, and on us."

"Don't--"

"You abandoned him, Scully."
