Monica Reyes quotes from The X-Files

Reyes

I'm guessing I don't have time to go to the little girls' room?

Reyes

What is the point of all of this? To destroy a man who seeks the truth, or to destroy the truth so no man can seek it? Either way, you lose.

What do you think happened?

Scully

Isn't that what you're here to tell us?

Reyes

Oh, I have my own thoughts. It's just, what we think happened and what actually happened aren't always the same thing - but not altogether insignificant, either.

Scully

I'm sorry, this feels like therapy.

Doggett

Sorry, Agent Reyes - I don't see it. (turns and begins walking away)

Reyes

I think you do.. You're just afraid to go there.

Mulder

Whew.. Man, you just keep shooting 'til you hit something, don't you?

Reyes

You'd rather blind yourself to the connections, but I can't.

Doggett

You keep talking about these connections - Connections to what? To who?

Reyes

What if this is a thread of evil, connecting through time.. though men, through opportunity - Connecting back to you? ..In India, in Africa, in Iran, in the Mid-East, in the Far East, most of the world - they take it as a given. They see evil in death the way other people see God in a rose.

Mulder

I saw Elvis in a potato chip once.

Reyes

(To Mulder) You know what I'm talking about.

Mulder

Yes, I do. I do. But if this man doesn't see it, he doesn't see it, right?

Reyes

What are you scared of? ..Why does it scare you?

Doggett

..I gotta believe I did everything I could to find.. my son.

Reyes

You did do everything to find your son.

Doggett

I gotta believe I did everything I could to save him. To get him back safe. To not let him down. I gotta believe I did everything humanly possible.. 'Cause if I can't believe that.. then these-these 'other possibilities' that you talk about, that Mulder talks about, that Agent Scully talks about - If they're real.. If they're real, then.. that's something else I could have done to save my son.

Reyes

[answering phone] Monica Reyes.

Scully

Yeah. It's Scully.

Reyes

Dana, what's wrong? Are you all right?

Scully

Is Agent Doggett there?

Reyes

Yeah, he's right here with me. [She hands the phone to Doggett]

Doggett

Dana. Something wrong?

Scully

Yeah. Yeah, something. [The mobile over William Scully's cot was spinning by inself] I think I might have been wrong, telling you to drop your investigation.

Doggett

Well, I didn't drop it. As a matter of fact, we found something, I'm not sure how it fits, but we're working on it.

Scully

What is it?

Doggett

A body.

Doggett

(entering Reyes' new residence) So, this is how the uptown crowd lives, huh?

Reyes

This is it! Moving on up.

Doggett

So is there anything really heavy that I can move for you, a dresser, a fridge?

Reyes

(smiling) No, but thank you, John - you just missed the movers.

Doggett

You don't say? (Reyes chuckles) I brought you a housewarming gift. (Doggett opens the bag he's carrying)

Reyes

(Reyes looks) Hot dogs?

Doggett

Polish sausage! It's the best in the city. There's a little stand a couple of blocks over on M Street. You'll be able to walk to it.

Reyes

Wow.

Doggett

Try one.

Reyes

Mmm. Like I'm back in Gdansk. Let me get some plates.

Doggett

Plates? For crying out loud.. who eats Polish sausage with plates?

Doggett

(typing computer text in a device with his usable finger) 1st time I ever hoped for a little prick

Reyes

(Reyes smirks slightly) ..You kiss you mother with that mouth?

Doggett

(typing) Hows case?

Reyes

It's coming along.. It's nowhere, basically. There's so much that's impossible to reconcile. You say I was on a stakeout with you - I say you were at my apartment bringing me... John.. do you know a little stand on M Street, supposed to be really good hot dogs?

Doggett

(typing) Polish Sausage Best in city

Reyes

..John, what if we were both right? What if you were at my apartment - And I was on a stakeout with you at the exact same time? What would it take for that to be true?

Doggett

(typing) We both had twins Which we dont

Reyes

Except maybe we do - Maybe all of us do. (leans in closer to Doggett) ..You've heard of the idea of a parallel universe - One that's identical, or nearly identical to our own. One in which we all have a double. It's theoretical physics, but.. what if it's real?

Doggett

(typing) Too much Star Trek

Reyes

You said yourself, Erwin Lukesh was known for his impossible escapes. You said that in the alley, you looked away only for an instant, and he was gone. And then somehow he was behind you, and he shot you. With my gun - my gun that never left my possession that entire afternoon. What if Lukesh can pass freely from one parallel world to the other? Like.. like he's opening a door. And what if somehow you followed him through that door, without even knowing it? Maybe when you followed Lukesh into this world, my.. my Doggett got forced out.

Doggett

(typing) Wow

Reyes

My Doggett would have called that crazy, too - But give me another theory that fits.

Doggett

I've said it before and I'll say it again - The whole reason this case is attracting flies is because somebody's full of crap.

Reyes

I think what we just saw was a show. Dylan Lokensgard caused those bugs to attack him to make him look like a victim instead of the perpetrator

Doggett

Okay, but how? This guy's the horse whisperer, only with bugs?

(looking at Doggett) You Reyes?

Doggett

I'm Doggett. She's Reyes.

Reyes

Detective Van Allen?

That's right.

Reyes

I appreciate your help on this.

What help is that?

Reyes

On this investigation.

There isn't a lot to investigate. I mean, Victor Potts wasn't exactly one of the FBI's ten most wanted.

Doggett

I think she means your insight into the way he died, Detective.

Don't have any. But I'm sure you'd rather talk to somebody who actually gives a damn, right? (walks off)

Doggett

(to Reyes) ..Hate to say it but, he probably sums up most peoples feelings.

Reyes

So, big plans for the weekend?

Doggett

Oh, huge. Microwave pizza, satellite TV.

Reyes

Wow. Thanks for making my life sound exciting. Maybe we both need pets. They say people with pets live longer.

Doggett

(confesses) I was thinking about getting a cat.

Reyes

There's dog people, and there's cat people. You are a dog person, John.

Doggett

How do you figure?

Reyes

(chuckles) You're faithful, you're dependable, you're without guile, you're very comfortable to be around. ..So why a cat?

Doggett

Low maintenance. They don't expect much from you, so you can't disappoint 'em.

Reyes

I don't see you ever disappointing anyone, John.

Reyes

Audrey, I'm Monica. Stephen and I just want to get out of here. Will you show us the way out?

I can't. I can't help you.

Why not?

I came to tell you your friend... loves you very much.

Reyes

My friend? Did you talk to John? Does he know where I am?

They all think you're dead. (starts to leave)

Reyes

Wait! Give my friend a message. Tell him he's a dog person.

Reyes

Somehow this person materialized inside a maximum security prison, killed an inmate, and then vanished into thin air.

Doggett

Materialized how, like Casper the Friendly Ghost?

Reyes

..So all that tonight was just you imagining things?

Doggett

I can't accept this.. If you can, God love you - But that's not the way my mind works.

Burt

What's this about numbers?

Scully

(exasperated) Will you just..!

Burt

I'm very good with numbers.

Reyes

The killer is driven by an impulse we believe is numerological.

Burt

Of course, he's a serial killer.
