I don't lie. Never.

You don't believe me.

Who do I work for?

That's hilarious.

They never demanded loyalty. None of 'em.

Works better - truth, silence. Better than a lie.

No. No! I didn't kill your fucking father.

How? I can't *tell* you. I want to. I *can't*.

You despise me. Because I'm only out for myself?

You don't understand, you lucky bastard. You've *got* someone.

At least I don't pretend I'm some white knight, saving the world.

You're a fool. Chivalry's dead.

But I'm pulling for you anyway.

'Удачи тебе, товарищ'?

Yes, damn you, Mulder, I meant that, too.

NOTE: In case you can't see the Cyrillic characters,
the title is "Tovarischi" - companions, comrades, 
friends.  The quote is from "The Red and the Black" - 
"Udachi tebye, tovarisch" - it's usually translated as
"good luck to you, my friend" but might more literally
be "I wish you success, comrade."
