Dana Scully quotes from The X-Files

Scully

I found a children's book of Norse legends. From what I can tell, the pictures show the end of the world - not in a sudden firestorm of damnation as the Bible teaches us, but in a slow covering blanket of snow. First the moon and the stars will be lost in a dense white fog, then the rivers and the lakes and the sea will freeze over. And finally a wolf named Skoll will open his jaws and eat the sun, sending the world into an everlasting night. I think I hear the wolf at the door.

Scully

Mulder...When they found me, after the doctors and even my family had given up, I experienced something that I never told you about. Even now it's hard to find the words. But there's one thing I'm certain of. As certain as I am of this life, we have nothing to fear when it's over.

Scully

Neat trick, Mulder; for your birthday I'll buy you a utility belt.

Scully

So, what are we supposed to charge him with, 'assaulting a cellular phone'?

Scully

Woman gets lonely. Sometimes she can't wait around for her man to be reincarnated.

Scully

From a dry skin sample, you're concluding what, that he's some kind of a fat-sucking vampire?

Scully

I hate to say this, Mulder, but I think you just ran out of credibility.

Scully

I'm afraid that God is speaking and no one is listening.

Scully

I'm not going to ask you if you just said what I think you just said, because I know it's what you just said.

Scully

Sure, fine, whatever.

Scully

Nothing happens in contradiction to nature, only in contradiction to what we know of it. And that's a place to start. That's where the hope is.

Scully

(to Mulder) You said it yourself, once - "a dream is an answer to a question we haven't learned how to ask."

Scully

For the first time, I feel time like a heart beat, the seconds pumping in my breast like a reckoning. The numinous mysteries that once seemed so distant and unreal threatening clarity in the presence of a truth entertained not in youth, but only in its passage. I feel these words as if their meaning were weight being lifted from me, knowing that you will read them and share my burden as I have come to trust no other. That you should know my heart, look into it, finding there the memory and experience that belong to you–that are you–is a comfort to me now as I feel the tethers loose and the prospects darken for the continuance of a journey that began not so long ago, and which began again with a faith shaken and strengthened by your convictions. If not for which I might never have been so strong now as I cross to face you and look at you, incomplete, hoping that you will forgive me for not making the rest of the journey with you.

Scully

(to Mulder, sarcastically) You sure know how to make a girl feel special on her birthday.

Scully

(sarcastically) What else about this interests you? Could it be... [reading from magazine cover] "visitors from space?"
