“The Goldberg Variation” · Season 7, Episode 6

In this episode: Fox Mulder (3), Dana Scully (3)

This man fell for 30 floors, plus the distance down this shaft, because these doors just happened to be open-- straight through, nothing but net.

Ouch.

I'm guessing that's what he said. After, he got up, climbed out of here and scampered off into the night.

You know in 1998, there was a British soldier who plummeted 4,500 feet when his parachute failed and he walked away with a broken rib?

What's your point?

My point is that if there's a wind gust, or a sudden updraft and, plus, if he landed in exactly the right way, I mean, I don't know. Maybe he just got lucky.

What if he got really, really lucky? That's your big scientific explanation, Scully? I mean, how many thousands of variables would have to convene in just the right mixture for that theory to hold water?

I don't know.

Well, thousands.

[There is a creaking sound, and Mulder suddenly crashes through the floor to the room below]

(looking slightly embarrassed) Yeah, it's all right. My ass broke the fall.
