The X-Files · Season 1, Episode 4
“The Jersey Devil” · Season 1, Episode 4
In this episode: Dana Scully (5), Fox Mulder (4)
Mulder, it's the same story I've heard since I was a kid. It's a folk tale, a myth.
I heard the same story when I was a kid too. Funny thing is I believed it. Fact is we've got a cannibalised body in New Jersey. Someone or something out there is hungry.
What about that guy you work with?
Mulder?
I thought you said he was cute.
He's a jerk. He's not a jerk. He's, um... he's obsessed with his work.
What if it is a female, Scully? How close is she to you or me? Does she feel emotion? Or are her days just spent looking for food?
Maybe, she spends her day shopping.
Eight million years out of Africa, I don't think we're all that different.
Mulder, we've put men into space, we've built computers that work faster than the human mind.
While we over-populate the world and create new technologies to kill each other with. Maybe we're just beasts with big brains.
Who was that on the phone?
A guy.
A guy. Same guy as the guy you had dinner with the other night?
Same guy.
You going to have dinner with him again?
I don't think so.
No interest?
Not at this time.
[walking to the door] What are you doing?
Going with you to the Smithsonian.
Don't you have a life, Scully?
Keep it up, Mulder, and I'll hurt you like that beast woman.
Eight million years out of Africa...
[holding door open for him] And look who's holding the door.
He was perfectly in his rights. The FBI has no overriding jurisdiction in a murder case. Anyway, you'd feel the same way if someone was horning in on your work.
Yeah, chances are he's without a clue. He'll probably be scratching his head when they bring the next body in.
You missed your opening Mulder, you could've really humiliated him and er, told him who the perpetrator was, The Jersey Devil.
Hey whatta you say, we grab a hotel, take in a floor show, drop a few quarters in the slots, do a little digging on this case.
You're kidding, right?
OK, we can skip the floor show.
