Melvin Frohike quotes from The X-Files

Frohike

So you want to hit the slots?

Langly

You know, Byers, growing old with us ain't so bad.

Frohike

Oh, shut up, Langly. You really want him to kill himself?

Frohike

We all have a third eye. If we could open it, we'd see a new reality, one closer to God. At least that's what Kesey told me on the bus back in '64.

Langly

You were not on the bus with Kesey in '64.

Frohike

Hey, I got the pictures to prove it, my longhaired friend.

Langly

Before or after you partied with the Stones at Altamont?

Frohike

Don't be a boob, Altamont was in '70s.

Langly

Whatever.

Byers

We learned what we could. This is somewhat short notice, of course.

Frohike

And a little outside our area of expertise.

Langly

Plus the fact we were sleeping.

Doggett

You wearing pants, Langly?

Langly

Uh...yeah. (hurriedly gets out of the range of the camera)

Frohike

You know, it's really not fair. You've been dead for six months and you still look better than me. But not by much. (they hug tightly, Mulder laughs softly)

Mulder

Melvin. I'd be a whole lot happier to see you if you'd just take your hands off my ass.

Frohike

(embarrassed, lets go and steps back) Sorry.

Byers

I think it goes without saying that we're all, uh, tremendously relieved.

Langly

(smiling) And not just because we got big questions about your involvement in a certain... blessed event.

Mulder

(on radio) Frohike? Langly? Byers? Let's go. I'm dying out here.

Frohike

(on radio) Well, let us just finish our cappuccino and biscotti, and we'll see what we can do.

Byers

(on radio) You can start walking now, Mulder.

Mulder

Is the system bypassed?

Langly

You'll know if it's not.

Mulder

Great.

Frohike

(sarcastically) Collecting for the needy and unemployed. Open the door.

Doggett

(opening the door) Thanks for doing this, guys.

Byers

Yeah, like we got anything better to be doing these days. [referring to the cancellation of their own series]

"Area 51 Exposé!" Ooo! (sarcastic) Where's your new issue? This one's a year old.

Frohike

Back off, Skeezick.

(sighs) So, you're too broke to publish, huh? Pencil neck told me.. It's a shame. This little rag always was such a hoot. I'm gonna miss it. But, hey, the world spins on, right? Maybe saving it is a younger man's game. Or a woman's. (motioning to Yves)

Frohike

(considers) Maybe it is.. (turns to Byers) You gotta admit, Byers. It hasn't exactly been our year. And to top it all off, we screwed the pooch pretty good today. Maybe we should pack it in.

Byers

And do what instead? We never gave up. We never will. In the end, if that's the best they can say about us... it'll do.

(grinning triumphantly, checking his watch) Now you have a minute forty.

Frohike

Guys?

Byers

Whatever it takes.

Frohike

(Mulder is urinating at the roadside) Hey hotshot. Might have the common courtesy of doing your little business downwind.

Mulder

Oh boy.

Langly

Why don't you finish draining the little lizard then we'll talk?

Byers

We're very worried about you.

Frohike

It's craziness, man. Turn around.

Langly

Just hang a big U-ie and never look back.

Mulder

I can't.

Byers

Why risk perfect happiness, Mulder? Why risk your lives?

Mulder

Because I need to know the truth.

Byers

You already know the truth.

Mulder

I need to know if I can change it.

Langly

Change it?

Frohike

For crying out loud. All you're going to do is get yourself killed.

Scully

Mulder! What are you doing?

Mulder

(The Lone Gunmen have vanished) I'll be right with you, Scully.
