Look, we've been working together for what two years now, we have differing opinions, but I didn't expect you to ditch me.
I didn't ditch you.
Fine, whatever.
S3 E13Syzygy
(after locking the two girls together in the room. The whole building begins to shake)
What's going on?
Something cosmic
(final report): We are but visitors on this rock, hurdling through time and space 60,000 miles an hour, tethered to a burning sphere by an invisible force in an unfathomable universe. Most of us take that for granted, while refusing to believe these forces have any more effect on us than a butterfly beating its wings halfway around the world. Or the two girls born on the same date, at the same time, in the same place might not find themselves the unfortunate focus of similar unseen forces. Converging like the planets themselves into burning pinpoints of cosmic energy, whose absolute gravity would threaten to swallow and consume everything in its path. Or maybe the answer lies even further from our grasp.
S3 E14Grotesque
I wouldn't want to disappoint you by not disappointing you.
[about Mulder's encounter with a gargoyle]
Maybe you're just seeing what you wanted to see.
What makes you think I'd want to see that?
Mulder (final report): We work in the dark. We do what we can to battle the evil that would otherwise destroy us. But if a man's character is fate, this fight is not a choice but a calling. And sometimes the weight of this burden causes us to falter, breaching the fragile fortress of our mind. Allowing the monsters without to turn within, and we are left alone staring into the Abyss. Into the Laughing Face of Madness.

What the hell is that?
Looks like the fuselage of a plane.
It's a North American P-51 Mustang.
I just got very turned on.

Conscience is just the voices of the dead trying to save us from our own damnation.
S3 E16Apocrypha
How are you feeling?
Like someone's been inside my stomach redecorating.
S3 E17Pusher
Mulder (enters the hospital in body armour holding the gun): Federal agent. Go about your business as usual.
Let's go, G-woman.
Scully (to Mulder): Please explain to me the scientific nature of the "whammy".
Pusher (to A.D. Skinner) Take a walk, Mel Cooley.
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.
