Eddie Van Blundht quotes from The X-Files

Eddie Van Blundht

(annoyed, looking at Mulder's "I Want To Believe" poster in his office, as Mulder) Good night! This is where my tax dollars go?!

Eddie Van Blundht

[As Mulder, walks in to Mulder's apartment and looks around] Where the hell do I sleep?!

Eddie Van Blundht

[To himself, as Mulder, looking in the mirror. Holds up FBI badge, practicing.] FBI. (slowly, exaggerated) F. ... B. ... I. FBI. (puts badge away; dramatically) You lookin' at me? There ain't nobody else here, you must be lookin' at me. You want a piece of this? (practices getting out his gun quickly; drops the clip as he does so; awkwardly puts it away again; sighs) You're a damn good lookin' man.

Scully

(pouring them each a glass of wine) Seriously, Mulder, what's going on? Are you okay?

Eddie Van Blundht

(as Mulder) Just kind of... knockin around. Just thinking. We never really, uh, talk, do we?

Scully

Well- what do you mean? Really talk? No, no we don't, Mulder.

Eddie Van Blundht

Well, what's stopping us?

Scully

So there we are, at 2 o'clock in the morning, me in my taffeta dress, and Marcus, wherever the hell he was, he was wearing a, uh, a tux. It had a... kelly green cumberbund on it. Anyway, so, I know that Marcus is thinking that it's now or never, and I'm thinking...

Eddie Van Blundht

(smiling) What are you thinking?

Scully

I'm thinking, "What is that siren I hear getting louder?"

Eddie Van Blundht

No way! Who called the cops?

Scully

Well it wasn't the cops, it was the fire department - my friend Silvia and her idiot prom date-

Eddie Van Blundht

Burwood?!

Scully

-had built this campfire that went totally out of control and so we all had to ride back on the, um... what do you call it, the, um- the pumper truck! ("Mulder" laughs) Marcus was the 12th grade love of my life. (Starts to take a sip of wine, then starts laughing) I can't believe I'm telling you this.

Eddie Van Blundht

I can't believe you haven't told me before.

Scully

Now I'm seeing a whole new side of you, Mulder.

Eddie Van Blundht

(hopeful) Is that a good thing?

Scully

I like it.

Eddie Van Blundht

Do you ever wish things were different?

Scully

What do you mean?

Eddie Van Blundht

The person you wanted to be when you grew up when you were in high school. How far off from that did you end up?

Scully

Career wise? Miles off target.

Eddie Van Blundht

No no, not just that. Do you ever wish... that you could go back and do it all differently?

Scully

(curious) Do you?
