    QUOTES:
    OFFICER (to Mulder): "You are really upsetting me... on several levels."
    MULDER: "They have the same feeble, literal grasp of the bible as all those big-hair preachers do."
    "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." --(John 6:54) Written in blood on wall
    JOHN: "Don't you want to live forever?"
    MULDER: "Not if drawstring pants come back into style."
    JOHN: "Look, what nobody knows is that there is no after-life. I know this, but listen, listen. I know this, because, when we prolong our lives by taking theirs, all I see is such horror, in their eyes. And that's because at that moment, they're face to face with death and then suddenly they realize there's nothing else. There's no heaven, there's no soul; there's just rot and decay."
    MULDER: "It's not who you are. It doesn't make you happy."
    JOHN: "He is. A spirit is one who believes. He knows we are possible."
