Dana Scully quotes from The X-Files

Scully

(voiceover) We live in a darkness of our own making... blind to a habitant world all but unseen by us. A world of beings traveling through time and space imaginable to us only as flights of fancy. Who are these beings we dare to imagine but fear to accept? What dark work goes on inside their impossible machines... cloaked from us by invisible forces? If they know our secrets, why can't we know theirs?

Scully

(angrily) Look, there is something down there and I am not going to risk bringing it up here 'till I figure out what it is!

Scully

One day, you'll ask me to speak of a truth - of the miracle of your birth. To explain what is unexplained. And if I falter or fail on this day, know there is an answer, my child - a sacred imperishable truth, but one you may never hope to find alone.. Chance meeting your perfect other, your perfect opposite - your protector and endangeror.. Chance embarking with this other on the greatest of journeys - a search for truths fugitive and imponderable. If one day this chance may befall you, my son, do not fail or falter to seize it. The truths are out there. And if one day you should behold a miracle, as I have in you, you will learn the truth is not found in science, or on some unseen plane, but by looking into your own heart. And in that moment you will be blessed - and stricken. For the truest truths are what hold us together, or keep us painfully, desperately.. apart.

Scully

(voiceover, reading an email from "[email protected]," obviously Mulder) I've resisted contacting you for reasons I know you continue to appreciate. But, to be honest, some unexpected dimensions of my new life are eating away at any resolve I have left. I'm lonely, Dana, uncertain of my ability to live like this. I want to come home. To you, and to William.

Scully

(voiceover) I am physically shaking right now seeing your words. Wishing it were you speaking them to me. I want so badly to see you too, but you are still not safe here.

Scully

(voiceover of an email she's writing to Mulder) I hold no hope you can respond to this. Or that it reaches you. I only hope that you are alive. I cannot help believing that you jumped off that train because you knew what I now know - that these "super-soldiers," if that's what they are, can in fact be destroyed. That the key to their destruction lies in the iron compound at that quarry ... I am scared for you, Mulder. And for William.. The forces against us are unrelenting. But so is my determination - To see you again. To regain the comfort and safety we shared for so brief a time.. Until then, I remain forever yours... Dana.

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.

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.

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.

I'm selling limited edition prints, twenty dollars. Down to my last five, if you're interested.

Mulder

Put it on my tab.

Scully

(leans over to Mulder) Sucker.
