Movie quotes

  • (..) Who? - Kurtzweil, we think. - No-one believes Kurtzweil. Or his books. He's a crank. Mulder believes him. - Then Kurtzweil must be removed. - As must Mulder. Kill Mulder... we take the risk of turning one man's quest into a crusade. Then take away what he holds most valuable. (..)
