Mulder and Scully in “Little Green Men”

Mulder

Have you ever been to San Diego?

Scully

Yeah.

Mulder

Did you check out the Palomar observatory?

Scully

No.

Mulder

From 1948 until recently, it was the largest telescope in the world. The idea and design came from a brilliant and wealthy astronomer named George Ellery Hale. Actually, the idea was presented to Hale one night. while he was playing billiards, an elf climbed in his window and told him to get money from the Rockefeller Foundation for a telescope.

Scully

And you're worried that all your life, you've been seeing elves?

Mulder

In my case... little green men.

Scully

But, Mulder... during your time with the X-Files, you've seen so much.

Mulder

That's just the point. Seeing is not enough, I should have something to hold onto. Some solid evidence. I learned that from you.

Scully

Your sister's abduction, you've held onto that.

Mulder

I'm beginning to wonder if... if that ever even happened.

Scully

Mulder, even if George Hale only saw elves in his mind, the telescope still got built. Don't give up.
