The X-Files quotes

Are you familiar with an agent named Fox Mulder?

Scully

Yes, I am.

How so?

Scully

By reputation. He's an Oxford educated psychologist, who wrote a monograph on serial killers and the occult, that helped to catch Monty Props in 1988. Generally thought of as the best analyst in the violent crimes section. He had a nickname at the academy... Spooky Mulder.

Section Chief Blevins

Are you familiar with the so-called X-Files?

Scully

I believe they have to do with unexplained phenomena.

Section Chief Blevins

More or less. The reason you're here, Agent Scully, is we want you to assist Mulder on these X-Files. You'll write field reports on your activities along with your observations on the validity of the work.

Scully

Am I to understand that you want me to debunk the X-Files Project, sir?

Section Chief Blevins

Agent Scully, we trust you'll make the proper scientific analysis.

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 a lot about you.

Mulder

Oh, really... I was under the impression that you were sent to spy on me.

Mulder

Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrials?

Scully

Logically I would have to say no. Given the distances need to travel from the of reaches of space the energy requirements would exceed a spacecraft's capabilities ...

Mulder

Conventional wisdom...

Scully

The answers are there, you just have to know where to look.

Mulder

That's why they put the 'I' in FBI.

Mulder

... in most of my work, the laws of physics rarely seems to apply.

Section Chief Blevins

Agent Mulder. What are his thoughts?

Scully

Agent Mulder believes we are not alone.

Scully

So?

Mulder

So you and I are going to the Spud State to investigate a little kidnapping.

Scully

I don't get it, Mulder. Does this have something to do with an X-File? I thought you only liked those... uh... paranormal-type cases. Am I missing something here?

Mulder

Let's just say this case has a... distinct smell to it. A certain... paranormal bouquet.

Deep Throat

Leave this case alone, Agent Mulder.

Mulder

What?

Deep Throat

The military will not tolerate an FBI investigation.

Mulder

Who are you?

Deep Throat

I, er, can be of help to you. I've had a certain interest in your work.

Mulder

How do you know about my work?

Deep Throat

Well, let's just say that I'm in a position to know quite a lot of things, er, things about our government.

Mulder

Who are you? Who do you work for?

Deep Throat

It's unimportant, I came here to give you some valuable advice. You are exposing yourself and Agent Scully to unnecessary risk, I advise you to drop the case.

Mulder

I can't do that.

Deep Throat

You have much work to do, Agent Mulder, don't jeopardise the future of your own efforts.

Mulder

So, what did you make of Uncle Fester, down the block?

Scully

Sucker!

Scully

You believe it all, don't you?

Mulder

Why wouldn't I?

Scully

Mulder, did you see their eyes? If I were that stoned -

Mulder

Oooh... if you were that stoned, what?

Scully

Mulder, you could have shown that kid a picture of a flying hamburger and he would have told you that's exactly what he saw.

Mulder

Tell me I'm crazy.

Scully

Mulder... you're crazy.

[tapping on window] Please, step out of the car.

Mulder

[to Scully] You think if maybe we ignore him, he'll go away?

[tapping on window] Please, step out of the car.

Mulder

[to Scully] Guess not.

Deep Throat

Mister Mulder, why are those like yourself, who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life on this Earth, not dissuaded by all the evidence to the contrary?

Mulder

Because, all the evidence to the contrary is not entirely dissuasive.

Deep Throat

Precisely.

Mulder

They're here, aren't they?

Deep Throat

Mister Mulder, they've been here for a long, long time.
