The X Files1993

Cigarette Smoking Man:
I like to make myself useful.

Scully:
You can start by putting out that cigarette.

Cigarette Smoking Man:
Got it all figured out, don't you, Agent Scully?

Scully:
All but why you can't just come to the door and knock.

Cigarette Smoking Man:
I did that. No one answered.

Scully:
You're sick.

Cigarette Smoking Man:
I had an operation.

Scully:
What do you want?

Cigarette Smoking Man:
I want you to stop looking.

Scully:
You've wanted that since 1973 when you ordered an end to the search for Agent Mulder's sister. Your initials are on that document.

Cigarette Smoking Man:
Yes, I signed that order because I knew then what I know now. No one is going to find her.

Scully:
Why not?

Cigarette Smoking Man:
Because I believe she's dead. No reason to believe otherwise.

Scully:
You're a liar. If you knew that she was dead why didn't you say something earlier? Why now?

Cigarette Smoking Man:
There was so much to protect before... It's all gone now.

Scully:
So you just let Mulder believe that she was alive for all these years?

Cigarette Smoking Man:
Out of kindness, Agent Scully. Allow him his ignorance... It's what gives him hope.
