X-Files Insanity Sane

From “All Souls”

X-Files God Religion

From “Skin”

I'm sorry that the last time I was with him, I tried to pick a fight. I'm sorry that I spent most of my life angry at him. I mean, for all I know, he died thinkin' that I hate him. So, you're right. What I'm doin' right now—it is too little. It's too late. [pause] I miss him, man. And I feel guilty…

From “Abiquiu”

Jesse: [looking at the painting 'My Last Door' by Georgia O’Keeffe] Yo, I thought I was gonna see some, like, vaginas. Jane: I didn’t say she actually painted vaginas.
