Episode Quotes

Deep Throat: I'm the liar. You're the killer.
Cigarette Smoking Man: Your lies have killed more men in a day than I have in a lifetime because I've never killed anyone.
Deep Throat: Maybe I'm not the liar.

Cigarette Smoking Man: How many historic events have only the two of us witnessed together, Ronald? How often did we make or change history? And our names can never grace any pages of record. No monument will ever bear our image.
