You know, sometimes, it just gets really hard to smile through it when they ask you to bend down and grab your ankles. You know?
It's not exactly as if you've ever tried to fit into the program.
S2 E2The Host
Scientist say three species become extinct everyday. Who knows how many new ones are being created?
Is this seat taken?
No, but I should warn you I'm experiencing violent impulses.
Well, I'm armed. So I'll take my chances. I hear you really endeared yourself to Assistant Director Skinner today.

L.S.D.M. Obviously, you haven't read our August edition of "T.L.G."
Oh, sorry boys. It arrived the same day as my subscription to "Celebrity Skin."
So Mulder, where's your little partner?
She couldn't come. She was afraid of her love for you.
[in response to some suggestive remarks about Scully] You know, Frohike, it's men like you that give perversion a bad name.
Fear. It's the oldest tool of power. If you're distracted by the fear of those around you, it keeps you from seeing the actions of those above.
Mrs. McRoberts?
BMBonnie McRoberts
Yes?
This is Sheriff Spencer, and I'm Special Agent Fox Mulder, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. May we come in?
BMBonnie McRoberts
I'm late for work.
You can blame me.
EFEdward Funsch
[realises he needs to get off the bus] Excuse me?
BDBus Driver
Wait for the next stop.
EFEdward Funsch
Please, I'm on the wrong bus.
BDBus Driver
Just wait for the next stop.
EFEdward Funsch
[starts to panic] Open the door... OPEN THE DOOR!!! OPEN THE DOOR, DAMN IT!!!
They've done it before. D.D.T. in the 50's, Agent Orange, germ warfare on unsuspecting neighborhoods.
Yes, but why, Mulder? Why would they intentionally create a populace that destroys itself?
Fear. It's the oldest tool of power. If you're distracted by fear of those around you, it keeps you from seeing the actions of those above.
In our April edition of "The Lone Gunman," we ran an article on the C.I.A.'s new CCDTH-2138 fiber-optic-lens micro-video camera.
Small enough to be placed on the back of a fly.
Imagine being one of those flies on the wall of the Oval Office.
Been there, done that.

Things like this aren't supposed to happen here.
A forty-two year old real estate agent murders four strangers with his bare hands? That's not supposed to happen anywhere.
SSSheriff Spencer
You don't understand. In the last six months, seven people have killed twenty-two. Per capita, that's higher than the combined homicide rate of Detroit, D.C., and Los Angeles. This town is not any of those places.
S2 E4Sleepless
[perplexed] This body has all of the secondary, but none of the primary symptoms of having been in a fire! It's almost as if...
What?
It's almost as if his body believed that it was burning.
Scully's a problem. A much larger problem than you described.
Every problem has a solution.
[Mr. X hands Mulder an envelope] What's this?
Data from a top secret military project. Born of the idea that sleep was the soldier's greatest enemy.
Grissom was conducting sleep deprivation experiments on Parris Island?
Not deprivation. Eradication.
Why?
Why else? To build a better soldier. Sustained wakefulness dulls fear, heightens aggression. Science had just put a man on the moon. So now they looked to science to win a losing war.
And Willig and Cole were the lab rats.
Lab rats with the highest kill ratio in the Marine Corps. Four thousand-plus confirmed kills for a thirteen-man squad.
You think Cole's behind what's happening now?
I'm not here to do your thinking, Agent Mulder. All I know is, that Augustus Cole hasn't slept in twenty-four years.
