Pilot: "The X-Files"
Scully: (A knock at the door) Who is it?
Scully: Agent Mulder believes we are not alone.
Mulder: Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted.
Scully: Agent Mulder. I'm Dana Scully. I've been assigned to work with you.
Mulder: Oh isn't it nice to be suddenly so highly regarded. So, who did you tick
off to get stuck with this detail, Scully?
Scully: Actually, I'm looking forward to working with you. I've heard alot about you.
Mulder: Oh really, I was under the impression that you were sent to spy on me.
Mulder: Now, when convention and science offer us no answers, might we not finally turn to the fantastic as a plausibility?
Scully: The girl obviously died of something. If it was natural causes, it's plausible
that there was something missed in the post-mortem. If she was murdered, it's plausible there was a sloppy investigation. What I find fantastic is any notion that there are answers beyond the realm of science. The answers
are there. You just have to know where to look.
Mulder: That's why they put the "I" in "F.B.I."
Mulder: Steven Spielberg.
Mulder: You gotta love this place, every day's like Halloween.
Deep Throat
Scully: Mulder, did you see their eyes? If I were that stoned -
Mulder: Ohhh, if you were that stoned what??
Scully: Just because I can't explain it, doesn't mean I'm going to believe they were UFO's.
Mulder: Unidentified Flying Objects. I think that fits the description pretty well. Tell me I'm crazy.
Scully: Mulder, you're crazy.
Mulder: There’s something I haven’t told you, Scully.
Scully: Something else?
Scene where Scully saves Mulder, Deep Throat [see Scenes]
Squeeze
Scully: Ah, Fox Mulder, Tom Colton.
Colton: So Mulder, what do you think? Does this look like the work of little green men?
Mulder: Grey.
Colton: Excuse me?
Mulder: Grey. You said green men. The Reticulan skin tone is actually grey. They're
notorious for their extraction of terrestrial human livers, due to iron depletion in the Reticulan galaxy.
Colton: You can't be serious.
Mulder: Do you have any idea what liver and onions go for on Reticula?
Mulder: (To Scully) You wouldn’t shoot an unarmed man, would you, copper?
Scene with ' territorial ' Mulder, Squeeze [see Scenes]
Scully: Tom. We have authorized access to this crime scene. A report of you obstructing
another officer's investigation might stick out on your personnel file. (Colton lets Mulder enter)
Colton: Look Dana, whose side are you on?
Scully: The victim's.
Scully: Genetics might explain the patterns. It also might explain the sociopathic
attitudes and behaviors. It begins with one family member who raises an offspring, who raises the next child...
Mulder: So what's this, the anti-Waltons?
Scully: Oh my god Mulder, it smells like...I think it's bile.
Mulder: Is there any way I can get it off my fingers quickly without betraying my cool exterior?
Scully: Is this what it takes to climb the ladder Colton?
Colton: All the way to the top.
Scully: Then I can’t wait until you fall off and land on your ass!
Conduit
Mulder: This is the essence of science, you ask an impertinent question and you're on your way to a pertinent answer.
Scully: I just don't think it's a good idea to antagonize the local law enforcement.
Mulder: Who me? I'm Mr. Congeniality.
Scully: You never know, we might need his help one of these days.
Mulder: I'll send him a bundt cake.
Mulder: Come on, how can an eight year old boy who can barely multiply be a threat to national security? And people call me paranoid.
Scully: Working hard, Agent Mulder? (sees Mulder reading a skin magazine)
Mulder: This woman claims to have been taken aboard a spaceship and held in an anti-gravity chamber without food and water for three days.
Scully: Anti-gravity is right.
Mulder: Ya feeling lucky Scully?
CBS&E: Conversation between Scully and Ellen [see Scenes.]
Scully: What's that in the background?
Mulder: That's someone getting sick.
Scully: Mulder, where are you? The drunk tank?
Scully: Well it's not hard to see why they mistook you for a vagrant.
Mulder: Are you going to rag on me or take me to get something to eat?
Scully: Am I paying, or did you manage to panhandle some change while you were at it?
Scully: I have a date.
Mulder: Can you cancel?
Scully: Unlike you, Mulder, I would like to have a life.
Mulder: I have a life!
Mulder: How much time will that dart give us?
Ranger: It’ll put down a 500 pound bear for an hour... If I can hit it.
Mulder: What if it is a female, Scully? How close is she to you or me? Does she feel emotion or are her days just spent looking for food?
Scully: Maybe she spends her days shopping.
Scully: I’m going with you to the Smithsonian.
Mulder: Don’t you have a life, Scully?
Scully: You keep that up, Mulder and I’ll hurt you like that beastwoman.
Mulder: Eight million years out of Africa...
Scully: And look who’s holding the door.
Shadows
MIB: If any inquiry is made about this meeting, we request full denial.
Mulder: I'd say you people already suffer from full denial.
Scully: You lied to them. I can tell.
Mulder: I would never lie. I willingfully participate in a campaign of misinformation.
Scully: Psychokineses? Like how Carrie got even at the prom?
Mulder: How are you?
Scully: I'm fine, but I have a standing in the line at the DMV size headache.
Mulder: Mine's more IRS size.
Mulder: Either that or a poltergeist.
Scully: They're here... (imitation of the little girl from the movie, "Poltergeist")
Scully: Wait, you think I’m right?
Scully: How did you know?
Dr. Bledsoe: It said so on the toe tag.
Mulder: Do you know how hard it is to fake your own death? Only one person has pulled it off...Elvis!
Mulder: Hey Scully do you believe in the afterlife?
Scully: I'd settle for a life in this one.
Ghost in the Machine
Scully: So why did you two go your separate ways?
Mulder: I'm a pain in the ass to work with.
Scully: No, seriously.
Mulder: You mean I'm not a pain in the ass to work with?
Scully: Must be for the visually impaired.
Mulder: How do you like that? A politically correct elevator.
Mulder: That just seems too obvious. To kill Drake would be so brazenly egomaniacal.
Scully: And fully consistent with Jerry’s excellent behavioral profile. (Which
was actually Mulder’s profile!)
Mulder: Fully.
Mulder: Trick or Treat.
Ice
Mulder: Obviously, they either think we're brilliant or expendable, because we pulled the assignment.
Mulder: San Diego? Do you get much of a chance to study ice down there?
Denny: Just what's around the keg.
Mulder: (When asked for a stool sample) Anyone got the sports section handy?
Mulder: But the weather forecast said we have a three day window for traveling.
Radio operator: Welcome to the top of the world, sir.
Mulder: (As he starts to undress) Before anyone passes judgment, let me remind you that we are in the arctic.
Scene in the storeroom, Ice [see Scenes]
Mulder: It's still there, Scully. 200,000 years down. In the ice.
Scully: Leave it there.
Space
Mulder: ...to deny us evidence
Scully: Evidence of what?
Mulder: Alien civilization.
Scully: Oh, of course.
Scully: Didn’t you want to ask him for his autograph?
Mulder: Didn't you ever want to be an astronaut when you were growing up?
Scully: I must have missed that phase.
Scully: It ranks right up there with getting a pony and learning to braid my own hair.
Scully: It's an oxygen leak. Even I can figure out what happens if they run out of oxygen.
Fallen Angel
Scully: That story happens to be highly classified.
Mulder: A highly classified lie.
Mulder: The last detail starring Dana Scully.
Mulder: (His hotel room has been trashed) Looks like housekeeping hasn't been here yet.
Mulder: Enigmatic Dr Scully.
Military radar operator: Um, sir. We have an Unidentified Flying Object on the
screen.
Military commander: A Meteor soldier.
Military radar operator: Well, sir. *The Meteor* seems to be hovering over a small
town in eastern Wisconsin.
Mulder: You hear that noise Scully? Hammer and nails. They're building a gallows in the town square.
Mulder: Then what can I say? How can I disprove lies that are stamped with an official seal? You can deny all the things I've seen, all the things I've discovered, but not for much longer because too many others know what's happening out there. And no one, no government agency, has jurisdiction over the truth.
Deep Throat: Always keep your friends close Mr. McGraf, but keep your enemies closer.
Eve
Scully: 75% blood loss. That's over four litres of blood.
Mulder: Could say he was running on empty.
Scully:Mulder, why would alien beings travel light years through space in order to play doctor on cattle?
Mulder: And one of these girls was just abducted.
Scully: Kidnaped.
Mulder: Pa-tay-toe, puh-tah-toe.
Scully: Mulder, you're rushing me out of the room.
Mulder: No, I'm not.
Scully: Do you have a girl coming over?
Mulder: What's a girl? I got a movie I want to watch on TV.
Eve 6: This replication of chromosomes also produces additional genes. Heightened strength, heightened intelligence...
Mulder: Heightened psychosis.
Eve 6: You saved the best for last.
Fire
Scully: Oh, I forgot what it was like to spend a day in court.
Mulder: That's one of the luxuries of hunting down aliens and genetic mutants. You rarely get to press charges.
Mulder: Ten to one you can't dance to it.
Mulder: I was merely extending her a professional courtesy.
Scully: Oh, is that what you were extending?
Scully: Mulder, you just keep unfolding like a flower.
Beyond the Sea
Scully: Last time you were that engrossed it turned out you were reading the Adult Video News.
Scully: Mulder, do I detect a hint of skepticism?
Scully: Did Boggs confess?
Mulder: No, no. It was five hours of Boggs' channeling. After three hours I asked him to summon up the soul of Jimi Hendrix and requested All Along the Watchtower. You know, the guy's been dead twenty years, but he still hasn't lost his edge.
CBS&B: Scene Between Scully and Boggs [see Scenes]
GenderBender
Mulder: Hold on to your hat, Scully, 'cause you're gonna love this!
Scully: So, what is our profile of the killer? "Indeterminate height, weight, sex, unarmed, but extremely attractive"?
Mulder: Now, this... that's... west.
Scully: What does the map say?
Mulder: That we should be there already. (Mulder wads up and drop kicks map)
Mulder: The Addams Family finds religion.
Mulder: How you feeling?
Scully: Better. A little embarrassed, actually.
Mulder: Why? You don't remember any of it.
Mulder: I know what I saw, Scully. And I saw you about to do the wild thing with some stranger.
Michael: The club scene used to be so simple.
Lazarus
Mulder: Can you at least accept the idea that during Willis's near-death experience
some sort of psychic trauma occurred?
Scully: Can't you accept that this isn't an X-File?
Greskin: Mulder says he's got something.
Agent: What? An alien virus, or some new information on the Kennedy assassination?
Young at Heart
Mulder: Reggie thought I was full of it, I was full of it.
Henderson: 10 minutes may be enough time for you, Mulder. Of course, I wouldn't know that from personal experience.
Mulder: Thanks, Henderson. I owe you one.
Henderson: Promises, promises...
Mulder: I know what I'm not gonna do. I'm not gonna wait around for John Barnett
to send me another Valentine.
Scully: You mean the ghost of John Barnett?
Mulder: I didn't know you believed in ghosts Scully.
Mulder: You were able to grow John Barnett a new hand?
Dr. Riddley: Not exactly. Not a human hand anyway. I could never get the cells to divide and behave properly.
Scully: I'm afraid to ask. What kind of hand did you grow?
Mulder: How you feeling?
Scully: First time I've ever played the target.
Mulder: Let's make sure it's not the last.
Scully: Mulder, I know what you did wasn't by the book.
Mulder: Tells you a lot about the book, doesn't it?
Mulder: That guy in the ugly suit is probably CIA.
E.B.E.
Scully: Those lights the driver saw may have been swamp gas.
Mulder: Swamp gas?
Scully: It's a natural phenomenon in which phosphorous and methane rising from
decaying organic matter ignite, creating globes of blue flame.
Mulder: Happens to me when I eat Dodger Dogs.
Byers: Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Russian Social Democrats, is being
put into power by one of the most heinous and evil forces of the twentieth century.
Mulder: Barney?
Byers: That's why we like you Mulder, your ideas are even weirder than ours.
Scully: Hmmm...
Scully: I don't how you can believe that what they say is even remotely plausible.
Mulder: I think it's remotely plausible that someone might think that you're hot.
Scully: How do you know that? We work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and we’re
being bugged. What does that tell you?
Mulder: That tells me that not everything is as it appears to be.
Scully: Exactly. And for all we know, this deep background is the one responsible
for the bug.
Mulder: He’s never lied to me. I won’t break that confidence. I trust him.
Scully: Mulder, you’re the only one I trust.
Mulder: Then you’re gonna have to trust me.
Mulder: Why don’t you just admit it, Scully? You’re determined not to believe him.
Scully: Well, maybe you’re too determined to believe him.
Mulder: I am determined to follow a lead that may result in proof of the existence
of extraterrestrial biological entities. I need to go. (He starts off.)
Scully: Mulder, listen to me.
Mulder: No.
Scully: Please, will you just hear me? (She stands. He stops and turns around.) I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you. It’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding. But there are others who are watching you, who know what I know and whereas I can respect and admire your passion, they will use it against you. Mulder, the truth is out there but so are lies.
Deep Throat: And a lie, Mr. Mulder, is most convincingly hidden between two truths.
Mulder: I tied up an air phone for three hours. I don't speak Japanese, but I think some businessman told me to stick a piece of sushi where the sun don't shine.
Deep Throat: You’re awfully quiet, Mr. Mulder.
Mulder: I’m wondering which lie to believe. (Deep Throat chuckles and walks off.)
Miracle Man
Mulder: The boy's been performing miracles for the past ten years. Twice on Sundays.
Mulder: I think I saw some of these people at Woodstock.
Scully: Mulder, you weren't at Woodstock.
Mulder: I saw the movie.
Mulder: (Scully suggests they go backstage) Wait, this is the part where they bring out Elvis.
Samuel: God has given me a special gift.
Scully: Did He buy you all of that jewelry too?
Scully: (Looks at Mulder) So what's next? Slaying of the first born? (smirks)
Scully: Mulder, What is it ?
Mulder: A girl.
Scully: Who, Jessica Hahn?
Scully: (As the collection plate comes by) Apparently miracles don't come cheap.
Mulder: Do you think the boy really did it?
Scully: No.
Mulder: Why not?
Scully: I was raised a Catholic and I have a certain familiarity with the scripture,
and God never lets the devil steal the show.
Scully: A healer's greatest magic lies in the patient's willingness to believe; Imagine a miracle, and you're halfway there.
Scully: You've got that look on your face, Mulder.
Mulder: What look is that?
Scully: The one where you've forgotten your keys and you're trying to get back
in the house.
Shapes
Mulder: They say my deodorant's made for a woman, but it's strong enough for a man.
Ish: You even have an Indian name, Fox. You should be Running Fox or Sleepy Fox.
Mulder: So long as it's not Spooky Fox.
Darkness Falls
Scully: Right, what am I looking for?
Mulder: Anything unusual, unlikely, unexplainable...boyfriend?
Scully: And you suspect what - Big Foot?
Mulder: Not likely, that's a lot of flannel to be choking down even for Big Foot.
Scully: What kind of insect could have gotten a man all the way up in a tree?
Mulder: Itsy bitsy spider...
Mulder: Well, after Mt. St. Helens erupted there was a large amount of radiation
that was released from inside the earth. Strange things started to grow. There’s actually this lake where they’ve discovered a kind of amoeba that literally sucks a man’s brains out.
Scully: Oh,* brain*sucking amoeba.
Tooms
Skinner: You wouldn't be lying to me now, would you Agent Scully?
Scully: Sir, I expect you to place the same amount of trust in me as I do in you.
Scully: Conventional investigation of these cases may decrease the rate of success.
Mulder:...And where were you? Your testimony was important.
Scully: I was called into a meeting by Assistant Director Skinner.
Mulder: What did he want?
Scully: Just wanted to reel me in.
Scully: Mulder, that's going to entail unorthodox methods of investigation.
Mulder: Look, Scully, if you're resistant because you don't believe, I'll respect that. But if you're resistant because of some bureaucratic pressure, they've not only reeled you in. They've already skinned you.
Mulder: Excuse me, could you help me find my dog? He’s a Norwegian Elkhound. His name is Heinrich. I use him to hunt moose.
Scully: Can you determine the cause of death? My instinct says that burial in cement is murder.
CITC: Conversation in the Car, Tooms [see Scenes]
Mulder: You can get the next mutant...
Born Again
Det. Lazard: Excuse me. Could I talk to you for a second?
Scully: I just started the autopsy.
Det. Lazard: Yeah. Um, I don't think he's going anywhere.
Scully: Where is he now? Has he been transferred?
Det. Lazard: You could say that. Agent Scully, this guy's been dead for nine years. Which means that little girl saw ... a ghost.
Scully: There weren't any ghosts flying around the precinct.
Roland
Mulder: How was the wedding?
Scully: You mean the part where the groom passed out or the dog bit the drummer?
Mulder: Did you catch the bouquet?
Scully: Maybe.
Mulder: (Looking at a whole lot of frozen head pieces scattered on the floor.) I don't think they'll be performing this experiment on Beakman's World.
Mulder: Hmmm...an egghead classic.
Mulder: You've got a brother, don't you Scully?
Scully: Yeah. I have an older one and a younger one.
Mulder: Have you ever thought about calling one of them all day and then the phone
rings and it's one of them?
Scully: Does this pitch somehow end with a way for me to lower my long distance charges?
Mulder: I believe in psychic connections and evidence suggests that it’s stronger
between family members, strongest of all between twin siblings that share the same womb.
Scully: O.K....maybe, but in this case, one sibling has closer ties to a frozen
fudge sickle than he does to his own brother!
The Erlenmeyer Flask
Mulder: You think he does it because he gets off on it?
Scully: No, I think he does it because you do.
Deep Throat: Calling it a night, Mr Mulder?
Mulder: My mother usually likes me home before the street lights come on.
Mulder: (Looking at Dr Berube's trashed lab.) I would have never pegged him as someone to do all this...or a Greg Louganis out the window.
Scully: Okay, Mulder, but I'm warning you--If this is monkey pee, you're on your own.
Scully: Wait a second... Mulder? I, I just want to say that I was wrong.
Mulder: It's all right, don't worry about it.
Scully: No, um... if you'd had listened to me, we wouldn't be here right now. I
should know by now to trust your instincts.
Mulder: Why? Nobody else does.
Scully: You know, I've always held science as sacred. I've, I've always put my
trust in the accepted facts. And what I saw last night... for the first time in my life, I don't know what to believe.
Mulder: Well, whatever it is you do believe, Scully... when you walk into that
room. Nothing sacred will hold.
Scene in Ft. Marlene, The Erlenmeyer Flask [see Scenes]
Deep Throat: Trust no one.
