Monica Reyes quotes from The X-Files

Doggett

Morris Fletcher?

(perks up a little) Finally. What took you so long? You must be Reyes. Enchanté.

Reyes

(rolls eyes) Yeah.

(referencing making a deal) The one that saves my furry pink ass. People are tryin' to kill me. Did you hear about my boat?

Reyes

Yeah - Your female companion told us what she witnessed.

My fem... Oh, you mean they didn't kill.. (tries to think of her name)

Reyes

Brittany? Brittney?

Brittany. Oh.. Oh, thank God she's still alive.

Doggett

Cadet Hayes? Rudolph Hayes? I'm Agent Doggett. This is Agent Reyes. (Hayes is smelling a dead arm; Doggett is confused) Is that part of the training here, Cadet - smelling body parts?

This man's flesh smells of creosote... but his skin is soft. Untanned. He worked indoors. A hardware store, probably. The tear marks at his elbow go from left to right. He was broadsided in a car accident. His hands gripped the wheel so hard.. his thumb bone snapped on impact.

Doggett

You determined all that just by looking at that arm?

(stands, looks at them) I see things.

Reyes

We came to thank you. Because of your analysis, we were able to work up a profile to catch the man who murdered those women.

What's the profile?

Doggett

White male, twenty-five to thirty-five, ex-military. Employed near the bars where he met.. (Hayes shakes his head) ..why are you shaking your head?

The profile's wrong. Your killer is in his forties. A felon recently arrived from out of state. His parole officer thinks he's looking for a job. He already has one - working for organized crime. He's killed many people. He's going to keep on killing. (walks away)

Reyes

(smiles) Kind of annoying, isn't he?

Reyes

What are you lookin' at?

Doggett

I want to check somethin' out. (finds identical pieces of roof tile in the garbage can) Ah-ha. Hold this, please? (she takes the bag, he climbs up on the roof to see it's been re-tiled)Ah-ha.

Reyes

Twice with the "ah-ha's."

Doggett

(sigh) The roof's been patched. When I was inside, I knew I smelled fresh plaster.

Reyes

So, are you gonna fill me in?

Doggett

A - Eyewitness places the deceased inside this house just prior to the time of his demise. B - We found a fragment of roofing shingle at the scene of the impact. It would seem it matches the discarded piece you now hold in your hand. C - There's a hole in the roof, recently patched, this big around. Connect A to B to C.

Reyes

Much in the fashion of, say, Daffy Duck or Wiley Coyote, the deceased shot straight up through the roof, flew high into the air and landed on his buddy's car? (skeptically) You're serious?

Doggett

A to B to C. I gotta tell ya, I think I'm finally gettin' the hang of this job.

Reyes

Well, why name himself after cousin Oliver? None of the other Brady's particularly liked Oliver. He was a self-described pest.

Scully

A jinx. Cousin Oliver, the Jinx. (Scully srhugs) ..Oh, so maybe I watched an episode or two.

Doggett

Okay, so be it. Just tell me how this helps me bust him, and uh, I'm happy.

Scully

Well, I'm starting to hope that it doesn't come to that.

Reyes

What do you mean?

Scully

Well, the power that this man seemingly possesses is extraordinary. It needs to be studied.

It could expand the scope of human knowledge. It could change everything.

Scully

It very well could. I mean, I've.. I've been working this unit for nine years now. I-I've investigated nearly 200 paranormal cases. We are due for some incontrovertible proof. I want vindication, for - for Mulder and.. for all of us.

Doggett

One big question. Why "The Brady Bunch"? Seriously, you two are fans. Why are people still watchin' a 30 year old TV show?

Reyes

Because.. they're the family everyone wishes they had. Loving parents, lots of brothers and sisters, everybody getting along.

Scully

They're the, uh, perfect family. And since Oliver didn't have one as a child, he... created one.

Doggett

Sure, I'd buy all that. But in this case, why "The Brady Bunch"? Why not "The Partridge Family"? Why not "Eight Is Enough"? (to Dr. Reits) Where was Oliver when you first saw "The Brady Bunch"? He was with you, right?

He'd always insisted we watch it together every week I was there.

Doggett

And the longer you two were together, the more his psychokinetic power faded, until finally it went away completely. Now, what do you think that was?

(slowly realizes) Because for the first time in his life, he was happy.

Doggett

Because he was with you.

Scully

Well, what are you suggesting is the course of action, John?

Doggett

A - Oliver's gonna die if he continues to use his power. B - his power goes away when he's happy. And C - you're the father he never had, and he loves you. A to B to C.

Doggett

So close, Dana. I'm sorry you don't get your proof.

Scully

Me too. Well, maybe I've had it these past nine years. If not proof of the paranormal, then... of more important things. (looks at Oliver for a moment, then leaves)

Doggett

Well, here's hopin' the TV stays off and he learns how to love the real world.

Reyes

(smiles and takes his hand) I think you are getting the hang of this job.

Doggett

You saw him? Mulder?

Reyes

They've accused him of murder?

Scully

And they have him believing that he did it.

Doggett

Of murdering who?

Scully

Knowle Rohrer.

Doggett

Knowle Rohrer? It can't be. I watched Knowle Rohrer die.

Reyes

He can't die. Knowle Rohrer's a super soldier.

Skinner

(Skinner hangs up phone) Mulder side-stepped security at a facility known as Mount Weather - a place where they say our so-called shadow government is installed.

Reyes

What about this murder charge?

Skinner

Thirty government workers are ready to testify they witnessed Mulder push a military officer to his death.

Doggett

Killing a man who can't be killed? (Scully begins to leave, Doggett turns to her) Where are you going?

Scully

..To beg mercy with the man upstairs.
