S2 E20Humbug

Tell me, have you done much circus work in your life?

NMr. Nut

And what makes you think I've ever spectated a circus? Much less been enslaved by one?

I know that many of the citizens here are former circus hands, and I just thought that...

NMr. Nut

You thought that because I am a person of short stature, that the only career I could procure for myself would be one confined to the so-called 'Big Top'. You took one quick look at me, and decided that you could deduce my entire life. Never would it have occurred to you that a person of my height could have possibly obtained a degree in Hotel Management.

I'm sorry. I meant no offence.

NMr. Nut

Well then why should I take offence? Just because it's human nature to make instantaneous judgements of others based solely upon their physical appearances? Why I've done the same thing to you, for example. I've taken in your all-American features, your dour demeanour, your unimaginative necktie design, and concluded that you work for the government; an FBI agent... but do you see the tragedy here? I have mistakenly deduced you to a stereotype. A caricature, instead of regarding you as a specific, unique individual.

But I am an FBI agent.

LLenny

Mr. Nut, the kind-hearted manager here, convinced me that to make a living by publicly displaying my deformity lacked dignity. So... now I carry other people's luggage. I believe these are your trailers; if they are not... then I am wrong.

[Mulder takes the suitcases from Lenny and tips him]

LLenny

Oh, that's most considerate. Thank you very much.

[Mulder shows Scully that he still has the tip in his hand]

LLenny

Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite. No, no, that's... that's not what I meant... I... I didn't mean to imply that we had bedbugs... I... I meant to say don't let... don't let the...

The 'Fiji Mermaids' bite?

LLenny

Yes, that's right... The 'Fiji Mermaids'...

[Mulder and Scully watch as Dr. Blockhead hammers a long nail up his nose]

Have you ever performed this... act on anyone else?

What, are you sick? I tell my audiences that if they're stupid enough to try this on themselves they'll end up with a slight lobotomy. I am a professional.

Exactly how does one become a professional blockhead?

SHSheriff Hamilton

[to Scully] Are you sure it was the brother you saw? Maybe it was the Fiji Mermaid who jumped in the sea and swam back to Fiji.

[to Scully] Now you know how I feel.

[crashing a funeral] Not having known the deceased personally, I am in no position to perform a proper eulogy! "I'm sure he was a nice guy," et cetera, et cetera. But as an admirer of the man's work, I am in a position to perform an impromptu tribute in his honor! Namely, ramming this spike into my chest! [does so]

Exactly how does one become a professional blockhead? May I?

[Mulder takes the pliers from Blockhead and gently extracts the nail.]

Starting in my homeland of Yemen, I trained with yogis, fakirs, and swamis, learning the ancient arts of body manipulation. But most men know nothing of these arts. For instance, did you know that through the protective Chinese practice of Tieu Bhu Xian, you can train your testicles to draw up into your abdomen?

Oh, I'm doing that as we speak.

S2 E21The Calusari

See, this is a helium balloon here and the one thing I did learn in kindergarten is when you let them go they float up, up and away, but see this is moving away from him. Horizontally.

Did you learn about wind in kindergarten?

S2 E22F. Emasculata

For every step you take they're three steps ahead.

What about you, where do you stand?

I stand right on the line you keep crossing.

According to the briefing, the prisoners escaped while hiding in a laundry cart.

I don't think the guards have been watching enough prison movies.

S2 E23Soft Light

There's no sign of him, Mulder. Maybe he's moved on. What are you looking at?

On the videotape, Dr. Banton kept staring at the floor. I've been trying to figure out what he might have been looking at.

Well, maybe the exposure affected his mind. Nonsensical repetitive behavior is a common trait of mental illness.

You trying to tell me something?

S2 E24Our Town

I think the good citizens of Dudley have been eating more than just chicken.

S2 E25Anasazi

I don't think we've been followed.

Who would follow you?

Multinational black ops unit. Code name Garnett.

Trained killers. School of the American Alumni.

Have you boys been defacing library books again?
