- Fox Mulder: Every major world religion encompasses the idea of life after death. That means millions, even billions, of people believe in some kind of transmigration or rebirth of the soul.
- Dana Scully: I'm sorry, Mulder. That's not what I learned in catechism.

- Warden Leo Brodeur: [as Neech is getting prepped for the electric chair] If God can't save his sorry ass, neither can I.
- Napoleon 'Neech' Manley: [Before being executed in an electric chair] Mark my words. Five men will die. Five men will go down! This will be my justice! This will be my law! This will be my capital punishment, and no stay of execution will be granted.
- Warden Leo Brodeur: Look, my job is about controlling anarchy. I don't run this prison, I just patrol it. Basically, it's war in here. We have freedom. They don't. Anything these men want, somehow it finds its way in here. They want another prisoner dead somebody's gonna find a way to put a shiv in.
- Warden Leo Brodeur: If I back down now, all I'll be doing is sending a message about the benefits of killing prison guards. There's a conspiracy at work here. I don't know who's behind it. But I am gonna crack it. That's my job.
- Warden Leo Brodeur: There's nothing but bitterness and resentment in here seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
