[referring to the abduction of her daughter] I know you must be feeling...
I'm sorry... but how could you really know how I feel?
[referring to Lucy's seizure and incoherent speech] Whether she knew it or not, she's was repeating the exact words spoken by Amy's abductor at the exact same time, twenty miles across town.
That's spooky.
[with a wry smile] That's my name, isn't it?
I hate to say this, Mulder, but I think you just ran out of credibility.
Come on in.
What are you watching?
Something that just came in the mail.
That's not your usual brand of entertainment... What is it?
According to the magazine ad I answered, it's an alien autopsy. Guaranteed authentic.
You spent money for this?
Twenty-nine ninety-five ..... plus shipping.
Mulder, this is even hokier than the one they aired on the Fox network, you can't even see what they're operating on!
But it does look authentic, I mean the settings, the procedures. I mean it does look as if an actual autopsy is being prepared, doesn't it?
Well, technically, I don't know why they would be wearing gas masks.
Well, maybe it's because of this green substance they seem to be extracting from the subject. Can you identify that?
Olive oil? Snake oil? I suppose you think it's alien blood?
It's widely held that aliens don't have blood, Scully.
I guess this begs the question; if this is an alien autopsy...
- where's the alien. But what so intriguing to me is the striking lack of detail here.
Well, what do you expect for $29.95?
I went to go see those MUFON members to find out about that woman, Betsy Hagopian.
And what did you find?
I found out that she's dying. Along with a lot of other women who claim to be dying too. All of them who say that they've had these implanted in them. It's the same thing that I had removed from my own neck.
But you're fine aren't you, Scully?
Am I? I don't know, Mulder. They said that they know me. That they've seen me before. It was freaky. They know things about me, about my disappearance.
That is disturbing. But I don't think you should freak out until we find out what this thing is.
What is this place?
This was one of the most frightening places on the Earth. A place where society sent its monsters to live in shame and isolation. Now, their disease is all but conquered. Science has eliminated thousands of years of misery.
I've seen your methods of "elimination." What happened to the man who was with me in the forest? What about the people who were in this room?"
They had been exposed.
Exposed to what?
The same thing all these victims have been exposed to... victims of an inhuman project run by a man named Zama.
You mean Ishimaru. You hid him here after the war. He stayed here, and he continued his experiments.
The ruler of the world is no longer the country with the bravest soldiers, but the greatest scientists.
(pouting to Scully, after she runs a bath for Kevin) You never draw my bath.
(about religious fanatics) They give bona fide paranoids like myself a bad name.
I'm afraid that God is speaking and no one is listening.
Yeah, did you know that the ancient Egyptians worshipped the scarab beetle and possibly erected the pyramids to honor them, which may be just giant symbolic dung heaps?
Did you know the inventor of the flush toilet was named Thomas Crapper?
I'm not going to ask you if you just said what I think you just said, because I know it's what you just said.
Well, it's my theory that UFOs are actually insect swarms. I don't know if you know anything about UFOs...
[lets out a small faint murmur, turns head vaguely]
... but all the characteristics of a typical sighting are shared with nocturnal insects swarming through an electrical air field... the sudden appearance of a colored, glowing light hovering in the night sky, moving in a nonmechanical matter, possibly humming... creating interference with radio and television signals... then suddenly disappearing.
As, uh... as nocturnal insect swarms. That's, uh... that's fascinating.
Bambi also has this theory I've never come acro--
Who?
Doctor Berenbaum. Anyway, her theory is--
Her name is Bambi?
Yeah. Both her parents were naturalists. Her theory is that UFOs are actually nocturnal insect swarms passing through electrical air fields.
Her name is Bambi?
Yeah, I had a praying mantis epiphany and, as a result, I screamed. No, not... not a girlie scream, but the scream of someone being confronted by some before unknown monster that had no right existing on the same planet I inhabited. Did you ever notice how a praying mantis' head resembles an alien's head? I mean, the mysteries of the natural world were revealed to me that day, but instead of being astounded, I was... repulsed.
Mulder... are you sure it wasn't a girlie scream?
[Watching Dr. Berenbaum and Ivanov walking away] Well, think of it this way, Mulder. By the time there's another invasion of artificially-intelligent, dung-eating robotic probes from outer space, maybe their uber-children will have devised a way to save our planet.
You know, I never thought I'd say this to you, Scully... but you smell bad.
