Dialogue from The X-Files episode "Detour"

[Scully tries to start a fire with two stones.]
Scully: You were an Indian guide, help me out here.

Mulder: Indian guide says maybe you should run to the store and get some matches.

Scully: I would, but I left my wallet in the car. [Scully gives up and sits down. She gets her gun. Mulder looks like he thinks she'll shoot him again.]

Mulder: What are you doing?

Scully: I'm trying to open my gun. If I can separate the shell from the casing, maybe I can get the powder to ignite.

Mulder: Oh. And maybe it'll start raining weenies and marshmallows.

Scully: Do I detect a hint of negativity?

Mulder: No. Yes. Actually yeah.

Scully: Mulder, you need to keep warm, your body's still in shock.

Mulder: I was told once that the best way to regenerate body heat is to crawl naked into a sleeping bag with somebody who was already naked.

Scully: Maybe if it rained sleeping bags, you'd get lucky. [Very strange exchange of looks] Have you ever thought seriously about dying?

Mulder: Yeah, once, when I was at the ice capades.

Scully: When I was fighting my cancer, I was angry at the injustice of it. And its meaninglessness. And then I realized that that was a struggle. To give it meaning. To make sense of it. It's like life.

Mulder: I think nature is supremely indifferent to whether we live or die. I mean if you're lucky you'll get to 75 years and if you're really lucky you'll get 80 years and if you're extraordinarily lucky you'll get to have 50 of those years with a decent head of hair.

Scully: I guess it's like Las Vegas. The house always wins. [the bullet breaks] Oh! Ta- da.

Mulder: Go girl. [Scully gets up to try starting a fire.] Hey, who did you identify with when you were a kid? Wilma or Betty?

Scully: I identified with Betty's bustline.

Mulder: Yes! I did too.

Scully: I could never have been married to Barney though. The kids were cute.

Mulder: But where are they today? [Gunpowder flares. Mulder looks wryly at Scully.]

Scully: Moth men? Really?

Mulder: Yeah, but there seem to have been only two of them. [Scully scoots over and tries to pull Mulder onto her lap.]
I don't wanna wrestle.

Scully: Get over here. I'm trying to keep you warm. [Mulder has a brief, huge grin on his face.]

Mulder: [Scully strokes Mulder's arm and touches his wound.] Ah.

Scully: Sorry.

Mulder: One of us has got to stay awake, Scully.

Scully: You sleep, Mulder.

Mulder: You get tired, you wake me.

Scully: I'm not gonna get tired.

Mulder: Why don't you sing something?

Scully: No, Mulder.

Mulder: Sing something so I'll know you're awake.

Scully: Mulder, you don't want me to sing. I can't carry a tune.

Mulder: Doesn't matter, sing anything.

Scully: . . . Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Was a good friend of mine. Never understood a single word he said but I helped him drink his wine . . .

Mulder: Chorus.

Scully: Joy to the world. All the boys and girls. Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea. [pair of red eyes glint from a tree trunk] Joy to you and me.
