Actually, for the benefit of the uninitiated and just because one can never revisit "Tunguska"/"Terma" too many times, I shall here reproduce the scene in question, which as you know I am NOT MAKING UP, from X-Files 4.10, "Terma" so everyone can see how goddamn gay it is. (Transcript from Inside the X (http://www.insidethex.co.uk/transcrp/scrp410.htm), though I have adjusted the punctuation slightly.)
WELL-MANICURED MAN’S FARM. CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA Night. A dark car pulls up in front of the house. The Cigarette Smoking Man steps out and climbs the steps to the porch where Well-Manicured Man is sitting, smoking a cigarette.
CSM: That’s a nasty habit. Bad for the health.
WELL-MANICURED MAN: (snuffs out cigarette with his shoe) Health is the least of my concerns at the moment.
CSM: Yes. (Lights cigarette.) According to reports, your...personal physician suffered a serious riding accident here on your property.
WMM: Dr. Charne-Sayre was murdered.
CSM: By whom?
WMM: If I knew, do you think I’d be standing here talking to you?
CSM: (smiling) Oh--you need me now. A man of my capabilities. Is that it?
WMM: This was a professional hit.
CSM: And you out here all alone...so vulnerable. ...Were you sleeping with her? Surely you wouldn’t be so foolish as to put the project at risk for the sake of your personal pleasures.
WMM: Find her killer!
CSM: Call off this Congressional investigation.
WMM: I can’t. But--Senator Sorenson is an honorable man. They are all honorable, these...honorable men. (WMM starts to walk away.)
CSM: I heard Mulder was captured in Tunguska. (WMM stops and turns around.) I hear now he’s escaped. Wake the Russian Bear and it may find we’ve stolen its honey.
