S4 E17Tempus Fugit

(About to scuba dive to the bottom of a lake) Once, I got a quarter off the deep end at the Y pool!

S4 E18Max

What are these people dying for? Is it for the truth or for the lies?

It's got to be for the truth. If we owe them anything, it's to make sure of that.

(looking through Max's trailer) Remember this place?

I remember being amazed at what some people will call home.

You have to admit, the man had an enduring sense of style.

Only Max Fenig and you would appreciate living like this. (Mulder chuckles. She presses play on the stereo. "Unmarked Helicopters" by Soul Coughing plays. She turns it off.) I think you were actually kindred spirits in some deep, strange way.

What do you mean?

Men with Spartan lives, simple in their creature comforts, and willing to allow for the complexity of their passions.

More people are trying to get their hands on this than a Tickle-Me-Elmo doll.

SGScott Garrett

Do you know what happens when a plane suddenly depressurizes at thirty-thousand feet, Mister Mulder? After the cabin fills with fog and all light objects, anything not tied down... (Mulder sighs.) ...and including your weapon, go flying toward the breach?

A pretty lady comes around with honey-roasted peanuts?

SGScott Garrett

Look out your window, Agent Mulder. You see the lights? Now, imagine if one of those lights flickered off. You'd hardly notice, would you? A dozen... two dozen lights extinguished. Is it worth sacrificing the future, the lives of millions, to keep a few lights on?

I, uh... actually, I was thinking about the- this gift that you gave me for my birthday. (takes out the Apollo 11 pendant/keychain and looks at it) You never got to tell me why you gave it to me or what it means. But I think I know. I think that you appreciate that there are extraordinary men and women and extraordinary moments when history leaps forward on the backs of these individuals. That what can be imagined can be achieved. That you must dare to dream, but that there's no substitute for perseverance and hard work. And teamwork, because no one gets there alone. And while we commemorate the greatness of these events and the individuals who achieved them, we cannot forget the sacrifice of those who make these achievements and leaps possible.

...I just thought it was a pretty cool keychain.

S4 E20Small Potatoes

(sarcastically) What else about this interests you? Could it be... [reading from magazine cover] "visitors from space?"

Do you know who the father of your baby is?

AAmanda

His name is Luke Skywalker. He's what's known as a 'Jedi knight.'

Did he have a lightsaber?

AAmanda

No, he didn't bring it. He did sing a song for me though. (sings "Star Wars" theme)

How many times have you seen "Star Wars," Amanda?

AAmanda

368. I should break 400 by Memorial Day.

Take your best shot, Scully, but I think there's more going on here than Luke Skywalker and his lightsaber.

[Mr and Mrs Neiman, parents of one of the "monkey babies," are arguing as they head toward their doctor's office.]

NMrs Neiman

We're going to find the best lawyer we can, because I definitely plan to sue, that's all I'm saying, Fred!

NMr Neiman

Baboo, look, just let me do the talking, all right? [Mulder and Scully join the couple in walking toward the doctor's office entrance.]

NMrs Neiman

Just tell him we're gonna sue!

NMr Neiman

(to Mulder and Scully) Oh, you too, huh? [They exchange a confused look.]

I have a theory. Do you wanna hear it?

Van Blundht somehow physically transformed into his captor and walked out the door, leaving no one the wiser?

(pleased) Scully, should we be picking out china patterns or what?

So what are you saying, that Van Blundht's an alien?

(grinning) Not unless they have trailer parks in space.
