“Pilot” · Season 1
In this episode: Dana Scully (6), Fox Mulder (4), Section Chief Blevins (2)
Are you familiar with an agent named Fox Mulder?
Yes, I am.
How so?
By reputation. He's an Oxford educated psychologist, who wrote a monograph on serial killers and the occult, that helped to catch Monty Props in 1988. Generally thought of as the best analyst in the violent crimes section. He had a nickname at the academy... Spooky Mulder.
Are you familiar with the so-called X-Files?
I believe they have to do with unexplained phenomena.
More or less. The reason you're here, Agent Scully, is we want you to assist Mulder on these X-Files. You'll write field reports on your activities along with your observations on the validity of the work.
Am I to understand that you want me to debunk the X-Files Project, sir?
Agent Scully, we trust you'll make the proper scientific analysis.
[Scully knocks at the door to Mulder's office.]
Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted.
Agent Mulder. I'm Dana Scully. I've been assigned to work with you.
Oh, isn't it nice to be suddenly so highly regarded. So who did you tick off to get stuck with this detail, Scully?
Actually, I'm looking forward to working with you. I've heard a lot about you.
Oh, really... I was under the impression that you were sent to spy on me.
Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrials?
Logically I would have to say no. Given the distances need to travel from the of reaches of space the energy requirements would exceed a spacecraft's capabilities ...
Conventional wisdom...
The answers are there, you just have to know where to look.
That's why they put the 'I' in FBI.
... in most of my work, the laws of physics rarely seems to apply.
Agent Mulder. What are his thoughts?
Agent Mulder believes we are not alone.
