John Doggett quotes from The X-Files

Doggett

(speaking about Mulder) Whatever you and I may differ on.. I'll find him, Agent Scully.

Doggett

In my experience, dead men don't tip, Agent Scully.

Doggett

Looks like you missed a spot, Mr. Hangemuhl.

Doggett

(to Scully) Ok.. I'll be your eyes and ears.

Doggett

(talking about his recovered memories) I'll take the bad, so long as I remember the good.

Doggett

A cop I know, a man I respect deeply, he told me one time you don't clock out at the end of your shift unless you know you did everything you could. That's what this is about - me not clocking out.

Scully

What's my theory? My theory is you don't know Mulder at all. You never did. (flips his badge over, showing his name) "John Doggett." Kersh's task force leader. You might have just introduced yourself.

Doggett

Well, I was getting around to it.

Scully

(throws a cup full of water in his face) Nice to meet you, Agent Doggett.

Scully

Well... do you have any questions?

Doggett

(understatement, chuckling) Just a few. Maybe first you could tell me where your area is here and, uh.. where mine's going to be.

Scully

(firmly) This is my partner's office, Agent Doggett. You and I will just be using it for a while. (sets Mulder's nameplate on the front of his desk)

Doggett

You know, there is a more obvious explanation.

Scully

Mm-hmm.

Doggett

The more basic answer is what we're dealing with here is simply a man. A psychotic killer with a deformed foot. You're familiar with the principle of Occam's Razor?

Scully

Yeah. You take every possible explanation and you choose the simplest one. Agent Mulder used to refer to it as "Occam's Principle of Limited Imagination."

Scully

Can you hot-wire it?

Doggett

(confident) Can I hot-wire it? Gone in 60 seconds, Jack. We're going to strand these lunatics.

Scully

There are X-files cases that describe similar paranormal findings. Alien abductees, who came back with anomalous medical stats.

Doggett

You know, these words - "anomalous," "supernatural," "paranormal" - they purport to explain something by not explaining it. It's lazy.

(looking at watch) Is this going to happen?

Doggett

Shouldn't you be telling us that?

(smiles) You're no doubt confused, Agent Doggett. I take psychic readings, not see through walls.

Doggett

(knocking on the door) FBI! I saw your curtains move. I know you're in there.

(opens door) M-Mr. Wells, I...

Trina, you knew about the Nanny-cam, didn't you? You told the killer about it. You must have given him my key card, too.

Mr. Wells, I-I-I wasn't even there that night.

Doggett

(unholsters his gun) First thing you're supposed to say is: "What nanny-cam?" (pushes the door open suddenly, knocking the man hiding behind it to the ground)

Doggett

If I'm working this case, I'd appreciate a heads up before you tell the Deputy Director any more science fiction stories.

Skinner

Hey, I don't have another explanation.

Doggett

Those guys in there are right. This whole story doesn't make a damn bit of sense.

Skinner

I'm supposed to give those guys in there answers, Agent Doggett. You're supposed to help me do that.

Doggett

Tipet's on the run. Find him, and we just might.

Doggett

I'm a good investigator but you know as well as I do I'm not the Agent that should be investigating this case.

Skinner

Agent Scully can't be here.

Doggett

You spoke to her?

Skinner

Tonight. She told me to tell you she's fine. She's taking some personal time.

Doggett

I've got 22 people dead, and she's taking personal time? (he picks up the phone, frustrated; Skinner grabs it to stop him)

Skinner

(firmly) You're not listening to what I'm telling you. Do your best without her. (hangs up the phone and walks off)
