Mulder

What happened to me out on the ice has justified every belief. If I should die now, it would be with the certainty that my faith has been righteous. And if, through death, larger mysteries are revealed, I will have already learned the answer to the question that has driven me here.. That there is intelligent life in the universe other than our own.. that they are here among us.. and that they have begun to colonize.

Mulder

[voiceover, message on computer being read by Scully] Scully - When you get this message I'll be too far away for you to stop me. But where I'm going I can't allow you to follow. I won't let you jeopardize your life and your career for reasons purely personal to me. You were right, Scully - you said a line has to be drawn somewhere. I'm drawing it for you here. I'll contact you when I can.

Mulder

I always thought when I got older I'd maybe take a cruise somewhere. This isn't exactly what I had in mind. The service on this ship is terrible, Scully.

Mulder

I could be mistaken. Maybe it was another bald-headed, jigsaw-puzzle-tattooed, naked guy I saw.

Mulder

(Upon being told that Dr. Blockhead could make his testicles shrivel up inside him) Oh, mine are doing that as we speak.

Mulder

I got the impression that Glazebrook wasn't the only sideshow performer residing here.

Mulder

I think the good citizens of Dudley have been eating more than just chicken.

My father's dead, Scully. They killed him.

Mulder

(final report) No physical evidence was found linking Leonard Trimble to the deaths of General Callahan's wife and son. Officially, the case remains open; the murders unsolved. Leonard Trimble's family requested that his burial be at Arlington National Cemetery. The Army denied this request. Trimble was cremated, and his ashes interred in a civilian cemetery in Tannersville, Pennsylvania. Leonard Trimble's mission was not to kill his enemies, but to shatter their lives. To keep them alive; to suffer the pain that he felt. To see the view from his wheelchair. Amputees sometimes feel the pain of phantom limbs; ghosts of hands still clenching, legs still aching. Is it not possible that Trimble developed a phantom soul? A malevolent psyche that took its violent revenge that he took accountable? It was war that destroyed Trimble's body, but the wounds went deeper than the loss of his limbs. What destroyed that parts of him that make us humans beings, those better angels of our nature... I cannot say.

I was hoping you could help me solve the mystery of the horny beast.

Mulder

(final report): We are but visitors on this rock, hurdling through time and space 60,000 miles an hour, tethered to a burning sphere by an invisible force in an unfathomable universe. Most of us take that for granted, while refusing to believe these forces have any more effect on us than a butterfly beating its wings halfway around the world. Or the two girls born on the same date, at the same time, in the same place might not find themselves the unfortunate focus of similar unseen forces. Converging like the planets themselves into burning pinpoints of cosmic energy, whose absolute gravity would threaten to swallow and consume everything in its path. Or maybe the answer lies even further from our grasp.

Mulder

I wouldn't want to disappoint you by not disappointing you.
