Dana Scully quotes from The X-Files

Frohike

Scully?

Scully

Aw, hey. Long time, no see. (a man whispers something into her ear) No, that's not nice. I like Hickey. (she rubs his head, messing up his hair. Agent Morris Fletcher [from Dreamland I/II] holds out a pack of cigarettes to her)

Cigarette? (she leans in and takes out a cigarette with her lips seductively)

Frohike

You don't smoke.

Scully

But who's got a match? (a dozen lighters are in front of her instantly) Well ... I just can't decide who lights my fire.

Frohike

That's it. (grabs cigarette from Scully's mouth) Alright, you dandies, back off. This is Special Agent Dana Scully of the FBI. If you so much as touch her, you may be committing a federal offense. (to Scully) Come on, come on. (he pulls her away)

We could have been stardust.

Scully

Maybe next time. (she slaps his ass as Frohike drags her off)

Scully

(laughing) Hi.

Frohike

Settle down, settle down. (sits her on the bed)

Scully

(laughing and grinning) Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Frohike

I found Agent Scully-go-lightly holding court... (Scully grabs Frohike's ass) ...bar!

Byers

I've never seen her drunk before ...

(checks Scully's eyes) God, this can't be.

Scully

(she pretends to tickle her) Hi...

Mulder

It doesn’t sound like you Scully. I can’t believe you’re buying this.

Scully

Mulder, I’m admitting that I was wrong.

Scully

(about to cry) I don't know what to believe anymore. Mulder, I was so determined to find a cure to save you that I could deny what it was that I saw and now I don't even know... I don't know... I don't know what the truth is... I don't know who to listen to. I don't know who to trust. (pauses; is crying) Diana Fowley was found murdered this morning. I never trusted her... but she helped save your life just as much as I did. She gave me that book. It was her key that led me to you. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. I know she was your friend. (she puts her arms around him; they hold each other)

Mulder

Scully, I was like you once. I didn't know who to trust. Then I... I chose another path... another life, another fate, where I found my sister. The end of my world was unrecognizable and upside down. There was one thing that remained the same. (gently holds her face; looks in her eyes) You... were my friend, and you told me the truth. Even when the world was falling apart, you were my constant... my touchstone.

Scully

And you are mine.

Welcome to Lucky Boy. May I take your order?

Mulder

Yeah, we'll have it our way. (both flash their badges)

Scully

FBI. Special Agents Scully and Mulder. We'd like a word with your manager, please.

But look - there's four Lucky Boys in Costa Mesa alone and something like 30 in Orange County.

Scully

(sighing) Thirty-two.

Mulder

(quickly, annoyed) Yeah, long day. So let's make this quick. Does everybody have their button?

Mulder

What is that? Next to it. Is that, uh... oh, my... ugh. Is that brain? Is that brain matter there?

Scully

No, I'd say that's ground beef.

Mulder

Ground beef.

Scully

Yeah.

Scully

How well do you know this man?

Mulder

Only by reputation - He, uh, left VICAP before I got there. But he's been called the greatest criminal profiler Quantico ever produced.

Scully

So what's he doing here?

Mulder

Well, apparently he checked himself in for a 30-day rehabilitation - I take it the last few years haven't been too kind to him. But if there's anybody that can tell us about the Millennium Group, it's him. He used to consult for them. Later, he fought to bring them down at the expense of his own career and reputation.

Scully

Single-minded.

Mulder

Yeah.

Scully

Sounds like someone I know.

Mulder

He's not our murderer, and those four dead bodies aren't dead and the millennium is... (looks at his watch) 14 hours away.

Scully

Mulder, those people, even when they were alive mangled biblical prophecy to the extent that it's unrecognizable. The year 2000 is just their artificial deadline - and besides, 2001 is actually the start of the new millennium.

Mulder

(slight smile) Nobody likes a math geek, Scully.

Mulder

(smiling) The world didn't end.

Scully

(calmly pleased) No, it didn't.

Mulder

Happy New Year, Scully.

Scully

Happy New Year, Mulder.

Mulder

Come on, you were cruising, right? I mean, a small town like this you're not exactly living La Vida Loca. I know-- I grew up in Dullsville, too, you know. Nothing to do but drive and park.

How long ago was that? (Mulder raises his eyebrows) Look. Don't you think I know what you're doing? You're like the tenth cop who's come in here trying to relate to me till I confess.

Scully

If you didn't do it, it's all the more reason to clear it up.

Everything I know is in my statement.

Mulder

Okay, but bear with us 'cause we're old and stupid. (Scully hides a smile by looking down)

Mulder

I don't know-- some kind of territorial or spiritual entity, maybe. (Scully sighs) Poltergeists have long been associated with violent acts like this and they tend to manifest around young people. They seem to be drawn to the turmoil of adolescence.

Scully

(innocently, almost coy) Mulder. Rather than spirits... can we at least start with Tony's friends? (looks like she is playing with his tie) Please? Just... for me?

(to Scully) You must have been a Betty, back in the day. (walks away)

Scully

A "Betty"?

Mulder

(smiling) Back in the day.

Mulder

This man fell for 30 floors, plus the distance down this shaft, because these doors just happened to be open-- straight through, nothing but net.

Scully

Ouch.

Mulder

I'm guessing that's what he said. After, he got up, climbed out of here and scampered off into the night.

Scully

You know in 1998, there was a British soldier who plummeted 4,500 feet when his parachute failed and he walked away with a broken rib?

Mulder

What's your point?

Scully

My point is that if there's a wind gust, or a sudden updraft and, plus, if he landed in exactly the right way, I mean, I don't know. Maybe he just got lucky.

Mulder

What if he got really, really lucky? That's your big scientific explanation, Scully? I mean, how many thousands of variables would have to convene in just the right mixture for that theory to hold water?

Scully

I don't know.

Mulder

Well, thousands.
