You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation.
Why are you telling me that?
Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.
“Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose” · Season 3, Episode 4
In this episode: Clyde Bruckman (6), Fox Mulder (3), Dana Scully (1)
You're looking down. You stepped in a pie that's fallen to the floor. The killer comes up to you and... coconut cream.
What?
The pie... eh, coconut cream, or, is it lemon meringue? I don't know, it's... not sure, it's, it's hazy. As long as you're looking down, he comes up with the knife and... banana cream! Definitely banana cream.
So, how do I die?
You don't
How can I see the future if it didn't already exist?
Then if the future is written, then why bother to do anything?
Now you're catching on.
Well, you see, that's another reason I can't help you catch this guy. I might adversely affect the fate of the future. I mean, his next victim might be the mother of the daughter whose son invents the time machine. Then the son goes back in time and changes world history and then Columbus never discovers America, man never lands on the moon, the U.S. never invades Grenada. Or something less significant, resulting in the fact that my father never meets my mother and consequently, I'm never born. (small pause for a moment) So when do we start?
PThe Puppet
You've seen the things I've done, both past and future...
They're terrible things.
PThe Puppet
I know they are! So, please tell me... why have I done them?
Don't you understand? Haven't you figured it out, son?
(The Puppet shakes his head no)
You do the things you do because you're a homicidal maniac.
PThe Puppet
(smiles slowly) That...that does explain a lot, doesn't it?
