         by worries about his parentage.  In his heart, he knew Bill
         Mulder was his father.  But that  smoking bastard had said
         just the right things to make him question his beliefs and
         memories.  Mulder had been in such a state, at one point
         he'd asked his mother some sensitive questions which had
         earned him a slap in the face.
