S3 E17Pusher

Mulder (enters the hospital in body armour holding the gun): Federal agent. Go about your business as usual.

Scully (to Mulder): Please explain to me the scientific nature of the "whammy".

S3 E19Hell Money

How many dishes do you have to break before your boss tosses you in an oven?

S3 E20Jose Chung's From Outer Space

Still, as a storyteller, I'm fascinated how a person's sense of consciousness can be... so transformed by nothing more magical than listening to words. Mere words.

HLHarold Lamb

Oh, Chrissy, thank God you're all right.

CGChrissy Giorgio

How dare you come here!

HLHarold Lamb

Chrissy, I did everything I could.

CGChrissy Giorgio

Don't I know it, you bastard!

HLHarold Lamb

Chrissy! Don't you remember?

GMr. Giorgio

What the hell is going on up there?

HLHarold Lamb

Chrissy! I love you!

No other object has been misidentified as a flying saucer more often than the planet Venus.

RCRoky Crikenson

Really?

MIMan in black

Even the former leader of your United States of America, James Earl Carter Jr., thought he saw a UFO once... But it's been proven he only saw the planet Venus.

RCRoky Crikenson

I'm a Republican.

MIMan in black

Venus was at its peak brilliance last night. You probably thought you saw something up in the sky other than Venus, but I assure you, it was Venus.

RCRoky Crikenson

I know... What I saw.

MIMan in black

Your scientists have yet to discover how neural networks create self-consciousness, let alone how the human brain processes two-dimensional retinal images into the three-dimensional phenomenon known as perception. Yet you somehow brazenly declare seeing is believing? Mister Crikenson, your scientific illiteracy makes me shudder, and I wouldn't flaunt your ignorance by telling anyone that you saw anything last night other than the planet Venus, because if you do, you're a dead man.

RCRoky Crikenson

You... can't threaten me.

MIMan in black

I just did.

(about Scully and Mulder) One of them was disguised as a woman, but wasn't pulling it off. Like, her hair was red, but it was a little too red, y'know? And the other one, the tall, lanky one, his face was so blank and expressionless. He didn't even seem human. I think he was a mandroid.

Aren't you nervous telling me all this? Receiving all those death threats?

Well, hey, I didn't spend all those years playing Dungeons & Dragons and not learn a little something about courage.

And though we may not be alone in the universe, in our own separate ways, on this planet we are all alone.

S3 E21Avatar

S3 E22Quagmire

I called him Ahab and he called me Starbuck. So I named my dog Queequeg. It's funny, I just realized something.

It's a bizarre name for a dog, huh?

No. How much you're like Ahab. You're so... consumed by your personal vengeance against life, whether it be its inherent cruelties or its mysteries, that everything takes on a warped significance to your megalomaniacal cosmology.

Scully, are you coming on to me?

S3 E23Wetwired

Don't lay this off on me, you sneaky son of a bitch, you pulled me into this situation because you didn't have the courage to reveal the truth yourself.

XX

Feel better now?

You're a coward! You work in the shadows, you feed me scraps of information, hoping that I can piece it together. You make me risk my life, you risk my partner's life and you never risk your own! [X turns and starts to leave, Mulder aims and cocks his gun at X] You're not walking away from this.

XX

You're risking your life right now.. [X turns and looks at Mulder] You failed. This is your success? Killing me? The truth is... you need me, Agent Mulder.
