Fox Mulder quotes from The X-Files

Scully

I was raised a Catholic. I have a certain... familiarity with the scripture. And God never lets the Devil steal the show.

Mulder

You must've really liked The Exorcist.

Scully

One of my favorite movies.

Scully

You've got that look on your face, Mulder.

Mulder

What look is that?

Scully

The kind when you've forgotten your keys and you're trying to figure out how to get back in the house.

I sense you are different, FBI. You're more open to Native American belief than some Native Americans.You even have an Indian name - Fox. You should be Running Fox, or Sneaky Fox.

Mulder

Just as long as it's not Spooky Fox.

Scully

What do you think?

Mulder

I think I'm going to suggest we sleep with the lights on.

Mulder

30 loggers working a clear-cutting contract in Washington state. Rugged, manly men in the full bloom of their manhood.

Scully

Right, but what am I looking for?

Mulder

Anything strange, unexplainable, unlikely ... boyfriend?

Scully

What kind of an insect could have gotten a man all the way up into that tree?

Mulder

Itsy-bitsy spider.

Mulder

If there's an ice tea in that bag, could be love.

Scully

Must be fate, Mulder. Root beer.

Mulder

They're out to put an end to the X-Files, Scully. I don't know why, but any excuse will do. Now, I don't really care about my record, but you'd be in trouble just for sitting in this car and I'd hate to see you to carry an official reprimand in your file because of me.

Scully

Fox....

Mulder

I... I... even made my parents call me "Mulder".

Scully

Mulder, I wouldn't put myself on the line for anybody but you.

Best we can figure, it was some kind of payback.

Mulder

For what?

Well, around that time, the organized crime division was doing a major sweep in Chinatown.

Mulder

The Triads.

Yeah. Some very heavy busts went down against the Woo Shing Woo. A lot of smack never made it to the street. You can bet there were some pretty pissed off people playing mahjong that week.

Mulder

So you think that Charlie Morris was killed as a warning to back off?

I think they picked a cop - any cop - and they whacked him.

Mulder

Why is it still so hard for you to believe, even when all the evidence suggests extraordinary phenomena?

Scully

Because sometimes ...

Mulder

What?

Scully

... looking for extreme possibilities makes you blind to the probable explanation right in front of you.

Scully

Do me a favor, Mulder. Let me say it. Reincarnation.

Mulder

Metempsychosis, transmigration, reimbodiment, call it what you will.

Scully

All based on the coincidence that Michelle Bishop and Officer Morris both practice the obscure art of paper folding?

Mulder

Well, what about the composite drawing and the dolls and the fact that Michelle was witness to two deaths that can be tied to Charlie Morris?

Scully

So what, you think he's back like Peter Proud to avenge his murder?

Mulder

It's not so far-fetched, Scully. Reincarnation is a basic tenet of many major religions.

Scully

That still doesn't explain how an eight-year-old girl can kill two grown men.

Mulder

Well, individuals with strong past-life memories often exhibit enhanced psychic abilities - ESP, telekinesis.

Scully

So where does that leave us?

Mulder

One short step away from proving the pre-existence of the human soul.

Mulder

... and check for burns or lesions on Barbala's body.

Scully

Why?

Mulder

Psychokinesis is usually associated with an electrical charge.

Scully

Are you saying Michelle possesses the ability to psychically project her own will?

Mulder

How else could a 60-pound kid throw a 200-pound detective out the window?

I was right outside. I'm telling you, there was nobody else there except for Barbala and the kid.

Mulder

So you didn't get a description of who the kid saw?

I'm telling you, there was no one else. Listen. The department is treating this as a suicide, but I gotta tell you. I knew this guy. There's no way he did himself.

Scully

Was he depressed or under psychiatric care of any kind?

No. Only time he ever looked at himself was in the mirror. And he always liked what he saw.

Mulder

Plus jumpers tend to open the window before they jump.

Mulder

You got a brother, don't you, Scully?

Scully

Yeah, I've got an older one and a younger one.

Mulder

Well, have you ever thought about calling one of them all day long and then all of a sudden the phone rings and it's one of them calling you?

Scully

Does this pitch somehow end with a way for me to lower my long distance charges?

How could this happen? Roland never exhibited any violent tendencies.

Mulder

It's my belief that he wasn't acting under his own volition.

What do you mean?

Mulder

This is the work of Arthur Grable, Roland's brother. It's a new theory of jet propulsion, unfinished at the time of his death. In the last two weeks, Roland has completed the calculations.

How?

Scully

We're not sure, Mrs. Stodie. All we know is that Roland was somehow able to finish his brother's research.
