THE FOLLOWING IS A COLLECTION OF QUOTES FROM SEASONS 3 + 4 OF THE X-FILES ***Herrenvolk*** EVERYTHING DIES Mr X: "Don't unlock doors you're not prepared to go through, Agent Scully." ***Unruhe*** Mulder: "So why would she stab her boyfriend through the ear? The magic was gone?" Scully: "Mulder, take a look at this. See this smeariness here? I'm thinking that it's heat damage. With the heater sitting under the film right there that the emulsion probably melted." Mulder: "So you think that might make it look like she posed, screaming, for a passport photo?" Mulder: "Is this what you see when you close your eyes, Jerry? Is that what you see? Jerry? Tell me where Alice Brant is." Gerald Schnauz, Jr.: "She's safe... from Howlers. She's all right now." Mulder: "...Then those photos wouldn't be his fantasies, they would be his nightmares." Scully: "What the hell does it matter now?" Mulder: "Because I want to know." Scully: "I don't." Gerald Schnauz, Jr.:(looking at his photo) "What does this mean?!?" Scully: "It means you need help." ***Home*** Kid: "Hey, quit complaining. Y'know, we already had to move home plate because you bitched about the mud." Scully (Noticing Mulder's not paying attention): "Meanwhile, I've quit the FBI and become a spokesperson for the Ab-Roller." Mulder (Putting baseball under Scully's nose): "Smell that. That's perfume. Eau De Ball." Scully: "Mulder, if you had to do without a cell-phone for two minutes you'd lapse into catatonic schizophrenia." Taylor: "Hi, I'm Sheriff Andy Taylor." Mulder: "For real?!" Mulder: "Well, just find yourself a man with a spotless genetic makeup and a really high tolerance for being second-guessed and start pumping out the little uber-Scullies." Scully: "What about your family?" Mulder: "Well, aside from the need for corrective lenses and the tendency to be abducted by extraterrestrials involved in an international governmental conspiracy, the Mulder family passes genetic muster." Scully: "They really went caveman on them." Scully: "I babysat my nephew this weekend. He watches Babe 15 times a day!" Mulder: "And people call ME spooky." ***The Field Where I Died*** Mulder: "Scully, You were there! You saw it! You heard it! Why can't you feel it?... How could I know the location of a bunker in a field where I've never been before?" Mulder: "Dana?... If... um... early in the four years we've been working together an event occured that suggested... or somebody told you that we'd been friends together... in other lifetimes. Always. Would it have changed some of the ways we looked at one another?" Scully: "Even if I knew for certain, I wouldn't change a day... Well... maybe that flukeman thing. I coulda lived without that just fine." ***Sanguinarium** Nurse: "Dr. Lloyd!" Lloyd: "I think this patient... is finished." Scully: "Well, he started taking the drug 5 years ago and he went through... ooh, he took a lot of it. 19 100-tablet refills." Mulder: (Oogling passing nurse) "Wow." Scully: (Thinking he's commenting at pill numbers) "Yeah." Mulder: (Re: cosmetic surgery) "Everybody's doing it." Scully: "Well if it's that simple, why don't you put out an APB for someone riding a broom and wearing a tall black hat?" Mulder (Noticing broom at door): "Probable cause." Scully: "On the suspicion of being a witch?" Scully: "What could she have been doing in here?" Mulder: "Probably not tax returns." ***Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man*** Cancer Man: "Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, prefunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an english toffee but they're gone too fast and taste is fleeting. You end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desparate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless, brown, paper wrappers." Cancer Man: "I can kill you whenever I please... but not today." Cancer Man: "This isn't the ending I wrote?" Byers: "Frohike's close." Frohike: "Don't use my name! What the hell's wrong with you? Now I'll have to kill you." Byers: "Langly and I performed..." Frohike: "He's everywhere! Everywhere. He'll kill me." Mulder: "Noone would kill you, Frohike. You're just a little puppy-dog." Cancer Man: "I'd rather read the worst novel ever written that sit through the best movie ever read." Bill Mulder: "My one year old just said his first word." Cancer Man: "What was the word?" Bill: "JFK." Cancer Man: "Catch you later, Mulder." General: "Cigarette?" Cancer Man: "No thank you sir, I never touch them." Letter from publisher: "Montgomery & Click Publishing 11/01/68 Mr. Raul Bloodworth 555 Brooksbank Ave., Apt 24 Washington, D.C. 20091 Dear Mr. Bloodworth, I have recently had the unhappy and u... reading your manuscript TAKE A CHANCE, A Jack Comquitt Adventure. My advice? Burn it! It stunk like... floor. That, Mr. Bloodworth, is called... do well not to litter your next manuscript... of them. In addition, I felt the plot of TAKE A CHANCE to be preposterous, the characters unbelievable, the ending lame and the writing, frankly, crap. Needless to say, Montgomery & Click Publishing declines your manuscript. Please, DO NOT send this piece of trash to any other publishing house. Very sincerely, ... Goodwinkle." Cancer Man: "What I don't want to see is the Bills winning the Super Bowl. As long as I'm alive that doesn't happen." Man#3: "Could be tough, sir. Buffalo wants it bad." Cancer Man: "So did the Soviets in '80." Man#3: "What, you saying you rigged the Olympic hockey game?" Cancer Man: "What's the matter? Don't you believe in miracles?" Cancer Man: "Payback's a bitch, Ivan." Deep Throat: "You'll never believe what we got for Christmas." Cancer Man: "Timing couldn't be worse. The Roswell story we concocted was gathering momentum. Had them all looking in the wrong direction." Cancer Man: "I've never killed anybody." Deep Throat: "Maybe I'm *not* the liar." ***Paper Hearts*** Mulder: "Scully, do you believe my sister, Samantha, was abducted by aliens? Have you *ever* believed that? No. So what do *you* think happened to her?" Scully: "What are you saying you believe now?" Mulder: "I don't know. I don't know what happened. I don't know what to believe. I just know I have to find out now." Skinner: "You're lucky I don't have your ass in a sling!" [Description: Mulder punches Roche in jail room] Roche: "This man hit me." Guard: "I didn't see anything." Scully: "I did." ***Tunguska*** Mulder: "You are an invertebrate scum-sucker whose moral dipstick is about two drips short of bone dry." Krycek: "The truth, the truth... There is no truth. These men just make it up as they go along. They're the engineers of the future." Mulder: "What did you get for Halloween, Charlie Brown?" Mulder: "That's a stupid-ass hair-cut." Krycek: "Mulder, you're not..." Mulder: "I'm going to leave the window rolled down. If I'm not back in a week I'll called Agent Scully and have her bring you a bowl of water." Mulder: "What'd you say to me?" Krycek: "What?!" Mulder: "You called me a bad name." Scully: "Agent Mulder is in the field, Sir, seeking answers to the questions you are asking." ***Terma*** Mulder: "I'm not going to die." Prisoner: "No? Why not?" Mulder: "I have to live long enough to kill that man Krycek." Cancerman: "It's a nasty habit [smoking]. It's bad for the health." Well-Manicured Man: "Health is the least of my concerns at the moment." Cancerman: "Yes..." (Lights up) Cancerman: "Wake the Russian bear and it may find we've stolen its honey." Mulder: "It's nice to put my arms around you... both of them." Scully: "When did you get back here?" Mulder: "It's been a long strange trip..." Mulder: "You wanna learn about anarchy? You don't tell me where the other bomb is and I'll make sure you spend your prison time on your bigoted hands and knees putting a big smile on some convict's face!" ***El Mundo Gira*** Scully: "Two men, one woman- trouble. " Scully: "Mulder, this happened how long ago?" Mulder: "Tres diaz. Mue Incredible, no?" Scully: "Purple rain?" Mulder: "Yeah. Great album. Deeply flawed movie, though." INS Agent: "Let's see... Ok. We have a Jose Feliciano. We have Juan Valdez. We have Cesar Chavez. We have Placido Domingo here. But I don't see any Alario Buente." Scully: (Seeing the truck full of toasted goats) "Uh, more goats..." Mulder: "The truth is... nobody cares." ***Kaddish*** Mulder: "Spectral figures are not often known to leave fingerprints. Casper never did." ***Never Again*** Scully: "Why don't I have a desk?" Mulder: "All this because I didn't get you a desk?" Scully: "Not everything is about you, Mulder. It's my life." ***Leonard Betts*** Leonard Betts: "I'm sorry... But, you have something I need." Mulder: "Well, what did your examination turn up?" Scully: "I haven't actually done an examination yet." Mulder: "Why not?" Scully: "I...uh... I experienced an unusual degree of postmortum galvonic response." Mulder: "The head moved." Scully: "It blinked at me...." Scully: "You're not suggesting that a headless body kicked its way out of a latched morgue freezer are you?" Scully: "Mulder, I don't even know how to respond to that." Mulder: "Well you got yourself a nice paperweight." ***Memento Mori*** Scully: "In med school, I learned that cancer arrives in the body unannounced. A dark stranger who takes up residence, turning its new home against itself. This is the evil of cancer, that is starts as an invader but soon becomes one with the invaded, forcing you to destroy it but only at the risk of destroying yourself. It is science's demon possession. My treatments, science's attempt at exorcism. Mulder, I hope that in these terms you might know it and know me and accept this stranger so many recognize but can not ever completely cast out... and if the darkness should have swallowed me as you read this you must never think there was the possibility of some secret intervention, something you might have done. And though we've traveled far together, this last distance must, necessarily, be traveled alone." Mulder: "The truth will save you, Scully... I think it will save us both." Mulder: "Pick out something black and sexy and prepare to do some funky poaching." Scully: "The truth...is in me." ***Unrequited*** Mulder: "Don't let them do this." ***Tempest Fugit*** Scully: "Oh, please tell me this isn't leading to something really embarassing." Mulder: "Does your insurance cover extraterrestials?" Scully: "You sure know how to make a girl feel special on her birthday." Scully: "Mulder, you have not remembered my birthday in the four years I have known you." Mulder: "That's the way I like to celebrate them, every four years. It's like dog years that way." Scully: "...Dog years? Thank you." Mulder: "Nine minutes, Scully. Do you remember the last time you remember seeing nine minutes?" Mulder: "I got something for you." Scully: "Oh, you've got to be kidding..." Mulder: "It's just something that reminded me of you." Scully: "What? An alien implant?" Mulder: "Two actually. I made them into ear rings." ***Max (Flight 549)*** Mulder: "Do you know where she is?" Scully: "A mental institution." Mulder: "...Well, I'd go with you but... I'm afriad they might lock me up." Scully: "Me too." Mulder: "I just thought it was a cool keychain." Mulder: "Um... 'Beans and Weenies'." Entering Max's trailer: "Unmarked Helicopters" plays [If you have the X-Files "Songs In The Key Of X" album, this is one of the songs] ***Synchrony*** Mulder: "The security officer, who is now in the morgue, has a body tempurature just south of Frosty the Snowman." Mulder: "You were a lot more open minded when you were a youngster." Scully: "What was he wearing - a long black robe and carrying a scythe?" Mulder: "Well you see what happens when you drink and drive?" ***Small Potatoes*** Mulder: "What are you saying? Van Blundht is an alien?" Scully: "Not unless they have trailer parks in space." Mulder: "Hey Scully, if you could be somebody else for a day, who would you be?" Scully: "Hopefully myself" Mulder: "That's so boring..." Scully: "Alright then... Eleanor Roosevelt." Mulder (confused/disgusted expression): "...Can't be a dead person." Scully: "Why the hell not?" Mulder: "Because..." Mulder: "I was just here... Where did I go?" Skinner: "Who wrote this?" "Mulder"/Eddie: "I did, Sir." Skinner: "You misspelled 'Federal Bureau of Investigation'." "Mulder"/Eddie: "...It's a typo." Skinner: "Twice." "Mulder"/Eddie [Entering Mulders' office]: "Good night! Is this where all my tax dollars go?" Eddie: "You're a damn good looking man." Mulder: "Take your best shot, Scully, but I think there's more going on here than Luke Skywalker and his lightsaber." Mulder: "How would this happen?" Scully: "The birds, the bees and the monkey babies, Mulder." Scully: "On behalf of all the women in the world, I doubt this has anything to do with consentual sex." ***Zero Sum*** Cancerman: "I'm not afraid to die." Cancerman: "A man digs a hole, he risks falling into it." Cancerman: "I wouldn't get too comfortable on your moral high ground, Mr. Skinner." Skinner: "What do you want, Agent Mulder?" Mulder: "I want some answers." ***Elegy*** Mulder: "I know what you're afraid of... I'm afraid of the same thing." Mulder: "You can believe what you want to believe, Scully. But you can't hide the truth from me because if you do, you're working against me, and yourself." Mulder: "I hope that's the truth." Mulder: "What *is* that look, Scully?" ***Demons*** Mulder: "I had those people's blood on my shirt, Scully. I was missing for two days. I have no recollection of my actions during those two days. There were two rounds discharged from my gun. I had the keys to this house, the keys to their car. Do the words Oranthal James Simpson mean anything to you?" Scully: "Mulder, I'm going to get you out of here." Mulder: "You're a doctor, not a lawyer, Scully." ***Gethsemane*** Scully: "As I am a medical doctor with a background in hard science, my job was to provide an analytical perspective on the work of Special Agent Fox Mulder, who's investigations into the paranormal were fuelled by a personal belief that his sister had been abducted by aliens when he was twelve. I come here today, four years later, to report on the illegitimacy of Agent Mulder's work. That it is my scientific opinion, that he became over the course of these years a victim, a victim of his own false hopes and of his belief in the biggest of lies." Scully: "Mulder, the only lie here is the one that you continue to believe." Mulder: "After all I've seen and experienced I refuse to believe that it's not true." Scully: "It's easier to believe the lie."
