Mulder: I wanted to believe. But the tools had been taken away. The X-Files had been shut down. They closed our eyes. Our voices have been silenced. Our ears now deaf to the realms of extreme possibilities.

Mulder: Four dollars for the first hour of parking is criminal. What you've got better be worth at least forty-five minutes.
Scully: You know Mulder, from back there you looked like him.
Mulder: Him?
Scully: Deep Throat.
Mulder: He's dead, Scully. I attended his funeral at Arlington through eight power binoculars from a thousand yards away.

Scully: The X-Files have been terminated, Mulder. We have been reassigned. And what makes you think they care about us anymore anyway?
Mulder: So why have you bothered to come here covertly?
Scully: Because I realized it was the only way that you'd see me.
Mulder: So what do you want?
Scully: To know that you're all right.

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 Ellerbe Hale. Actually the idea was to presented to Hale one night while he was playing billiards. An elf landed 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.

Skinner: She doesn't know where he is.
Cigarette Smoking Man (William B Davis): How can you be so sure?
Skinner: Because if she did she wouldn't be so worried about him.

Dr. Troisky: Looks like the WOW signal.
Scully: The WOW signal?
Dr. Troisky: Ohio State has a radio telescope that conducts electronic searches for extraterrestrial intelligence. In August, 1977, my buddy Jerry Eamon found a transmission on the print-out like this. He was so excited he wrote "wow" in the margins.

Mulder: Deep Throat said Trust No One. It's hard, Scully. Suspecting everyone, everything. It wears you down. You even begin to doubt what you know is the truth. Before, I could only trust myself. Now I can only trust you. And they've taken you away from me. My life up to this point has been about the need to see her again. To see them. But what would I do if they really came?

Scully: Mulder we have to go. Evidence is worthless if you're dead!

Mulder: I may not have the X-Files, Scully, but I still have my work. I still have you. I still have myself.

Detective Norman: They say it cuts the smell if you don't breathe through your mouth.
Mulder: They lied.

X: I think you should know, you have a friend at the FBI.
Mulder: Who is this?

Foreman: No telling what's been breeding down there in the last one hundred years.

Mulder: You know, you had a pair of agents that could have handled a case like this. Agent Scully and I might have been able to save that man's life, but you shut us down.
Skinner: I know. This should have been an X-File. We all take our orders from someone, Agent Mulder.

Scully: That creature came off of a decomissioned Russian freighter that was used in the disposal of salvage material from the meltdown. It was born in a primordial soup of radioactive sewage.
Mulder: You know they say three species disappear off the planet every day. You wonder how many new ones are being created.

Sheriff Spencer: Things like this aren't supposed to happen here.
Mulder: A forty-two-year-old real estate agent murders four strangers with his bare hands? It's not supposed to happen anywhere.

Mulder: ...there have been reported abductee paranoia in UFO mass abduction cases.
Scully reading the report: I was wondering when you'd get to that.
Mulder: I find no evidence of this to be the case.

Mulder: Imagine being one of those flies on the wall of the Oval Office.
Frohike: Been there. Done that.

Frohike: So Mulder, where's your little partner?
Mulder: She wouldn't come. She's afraid of her love for you.

Winter: There's no proof whatsoever the spraying caused violent behavior. It was proven to me to be safe.
Mulder: By who? Who proved it to you?

Scully: I'd love to tell you that I flew three hundred miles in the middle night to perform tests that prove that you're about to become the next Charles Manson, but I find little phsysiological evidence that states that LSDM has toxically affected you.

Scully: Mrs. McAlpin believes voodoo was behind her husband’s death?
Mulder: Mrs. McAlpin doesn't believe her husband killed himself. She wants to know who did.

Bauvais: Our country was born of the blood of slaves. Freedom is our most sacred legacy.

Mulder: They're making the camp invisible. But why?
X: In case you haven't noticed, Agent Mulder, the Statue of Liberty is on vacation. The new mandate says if you are not a citizen, you better keep out.

Mulder: All in all I've counted nine unexplained disappearances. Each of them passed through here. The 65th Parallel.
Scully: Another Bermuda Triangle?
Mulder: It's more like a wrinkle in time if Lieutenant Harper is any indication.

Scully: My father spent the better part of his life at sea. He had a healthy respect for the ocean but he never feared it. I see fear in these men's eyes.

Scully: What's the Fiji mermaid?
Hepcat: The Fiji Mermaid... it's, it's the Fiji Mermaid.
Sheriff Hamilton: It's a bit of humbug Barnum pulled in the last century.
Hepcat: Barnum billed it as a real live mermaid, but people went in to see it all they saw was a real dead monkey sewn on the tail of a fish.
Mulder: A monkey?
Hepcat: A mummified monkey.
Sheriff Hamilton: It supposedly looked so bad he had to exhibit it as a "geuine fake".
Hepcat: Oh but see, that's why Barnum was a genius. You never know where the truth ends and the humbug begins.

Sheriff Hamilton: You don't think these tracks were made by the Fiji Mermaid?
Scully: Do you recall what Barnum said about suckers?

Mr. Nutt: [...] it's human nature to make instaneous judgments of others based solely on their physical apperances? Why I have done the same thing to you, for example. I have taken in your All-American features, your dour demeanor, 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 reduced you to a stereotype. A caricature. Instead of regarding you as a specific, unique individual.
Mulder: But I am an FBI agent.

Mulder: Why'd you give it up?
Lanny: Mr. Nutt—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.

Sheriff Hamilton: May I ask what you're doing?
Mulder: We're exhuming... your potato.
Sheriff Hamilton: May I ask why?
Scully: Sheriff, it's, it's been documented that many serial killers possess a fascination with police work. Some of them even holding positions on their local force. So surveillance of investigation team members is often utilized as a precautionary—
Mulder: We found out you used to be a dog-faced boy.

Dr. Blockhead: If people knew the true price of spirituality there'd be more atheists.

Dr. Blockhead: Twenty-first century genetic engineering will not only eradicate the siamese twins and the alligator skin people, but you're going to be hard-pressed to find a slight overbite or a not-so-high cheekbone. You see, I've seen the future, and the future looks just like him. {he indicates Mulder} Imagine, going through your whole life looking like that.

Dr. Blockhead: Nature abhors normality. It can't go long without creating a mutant.
