What about that guy you work with?
Mulder?
EEllen
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.
S1 E4The Jersey Devil
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.
S1 E5Shadows
I think Howard Graves faked his own death.
Do you know how hard it is to fake your own death? Only one man has pulled it off: Elvis.
I would never lie. I willfully participated in a campaign of misinformation.
Are you saying Lauren Kyte crashed our car?
Either that or a poltergeist.
They're heeeere...
How can the oesophagus be crushed without the neck even being touched?
Psychokinetic manipulation.
Psychokinesis? You mean how Carrie got even at the prom?
Hey, Scully. Do you believe in the afterlife?
I'd settle for a life in this one.
Have you ever seen the Liberty Bell?
Yes.
You know, I've been to Philadelphia a hundred times and I've never seen it.
You're not missing much. It's just a big bell with a big crack, and you have to wait in a long line.
Yeah, but I'd really like to go.
Why now?
I don't know. How late do you think they stay open?
S1 E6Ghost in the Machine
How come you two went your separate ways?
I'm a pain in the ass to work with.
Seriously.
I'm not a pain in the ass?
Must be for the visually impaired.
How do you like that? A politically correct elevator.
Brad Wilczek? We're with the FBI.
BWBrad Wilczek
What took you guys so long? Oh, and do you mind taking off your shoes.
So the machine killed Drake out of self-defense?
Self-preservation. It's the primary instinct of all sentient beings.
Mulder, that level of artificial intelligence is decades away from being realized.
Then why was our government trying to usurp Wilczek's research?
You're afraid of the government but you're willing to accept the risk that your machine will kill again.
WWilczek
The lesser of two evils.
What about a third option? You created that machine. Now you tell me how to destroy it.
You won't find him.
They can't just take a man like Brad Wilczek without an explanation.
They can do anything they want.
Where is he?
In the middle of what we in the trade call "hard bargaining".
Wilczek won't deal. He'll never work for them.
Loss of freedom does funny things to a man.
