Mulder (to Scully): I don't trust them. I want to trust
you.
--Ice
Byers: Hey, Mulder. Listen to this, Vladimir Znirmovsky, the leader
of the Russian social Democrats; he's been put into power by the most
heinous and evil force of the twentieth century.
Mulder:
Barney?
Byers: The CIA.
Langley: Is this your
skeptical partner?
Frohike: She's hot.
Mulder: Settle down,
Frohike.
. . . .
Scully: Those were the most paranoid
people I have ever met. I don't know how you could think what what they
say is even remotely plausible.
Mulder: I think it's remotely
plausible that someone might think you're hot.
--E.B.E.
Scully: Mulder, you're the only one I trust.
--E.B.E.
Mulder (sighing): They're out to put an end to the
X-Files, Scully. I don't know why, but any excuse'll do. Now I don't
really care about my records, but you'd be in trouble just sitting in this
car. And I'd hate to see you carry an official reprimand in your career
file because of me.
Scully: Fox. . .
Mulder (laughing): I- I even made my parents call me
Mulder. . . . Mulder.
Scully: Mulder, I wouldn't put myself on the line for
anybody but you.
Mulder: If there's an iced tea in that bag, could be
love.
Scully (reaching into bag): Must be fate, Mulder.
(She hands drink to him.) Root beer.
(Mulder sighs disappointedly.)
Scully: You're delirious. Go home and get some sleep.
Mulder: Here. Take my sandwich. I only had one bite.
You're gonna want it later, believe me. And you'll call me if anything
happens. Immediately. I'll be here. Oh, oh and 11:30, station 790, Pete
Rose late night sport talk radio show.
Scully (getting out of car): Wouldn't miss it for the
world.
--Tooms
Mulder: Dana, after all you've seen, after all the
evidence, why don't you believe?
Scully: I'm afraid. I'm afraid to believe.
Mulder: You couldn't face that fear, even if it meant
never knowing what your father wanted to tell you?
Scully: But I do know.
Mulder: How?
Scully: He was my father.
--Beyond the
Sea
Mulder: Just, uh, sittin' and thinkin'. Widespread
accounts of unidentified colored lights hovering in the skies were
reported in this area last night. Look, Scully, I know it's not your
inclination, but . . . did you ever look up into the night sky and feel
certain that not only was something up there but it was looking down on
you at the exact same moment and was just as curious about you as you are
about it?
Scully: Mulder, I think the only thing more
fortuitous than the emergence of life on this planet is that through
purely random laws of biological evolution an intelligence as complex as
ours ever emanated from it. The very idea of intelligent alien life is not
only astronomically improbable, but at its most basic level, downright
anti-Darwinian.
Mulder: Scully. . . What are you wearing?
--War
of the Coprophages
Mulder (over phone): She did tell me everything there is
to know about insects.
Scully: She?
Mulder: Yeah. Did you know the ancient Egyptians
worshipped the scarab beetle and possibly erected the pyramids to honor
them, which may just be giant symbolic dung heaps?
Scully: Did you know the inventor of the flush toilet
was named Thomas Crapper?
Mulder: Bambi also has this theory I've never come
across.
Scully: Who?
Mulder: Dr. Berenbaum. Anyway, her theory-
Scully: Her name is Bambi?
Mulder: Yeah, both her parents were naturalists. Her
theory is that UFO's are actually nocturnal insect swarms passing through
electrical airfields.
Scully: Her name is Bambi?
Mulder: Scully, can I confess something to you?
Scully: Yeah, sure, okay.
Mulder: I hate insects.
--War of the
Coprophages
"Scully, you are the only one I trust."
-Mulder
--Wetwired,
Mulder: I had one chance and I let it slip away.
Scully: You don't know that, Mulder. You can't blame
yourself for what you could only hope.
Mulder: He took me to a place with green fields. I
saw my sister. She was just a little girl. I've seen too many things not
to believe.
Scully: I've seen things, too. But there are answers
to be found now. We have hope that there's a place to start. That's what I
believe.
Mulder: You put such faith in your science, Scully.
The things I've seen, science provides no place to start.
Scully: Nothing happens in contradiction to nature.
Only in contradiction to what we know of it. And that's a place to start.
That's where the hope is.
Mulder: I feel I came so close.
Scully: I feel it too. I know
it.
--Herrenvolk
Scully:Imagine all a woman's hopes and dreams for
her child and the nature turns so cruel. What must a mother go
through?
Mulder: Apparently not much in this case if
she'd just throw it out with the trash.
Scully: I- I guess I was just projecting on myself.
Mulder: Why? Is there a history of genetic
abnormalities in your family?
Scully: No.
Mulder: Well, just find yourself a man with a
spotless genetic makeup and a really high tolerance for being
second-guessed and start pumping out the little uber-Scully's. (He
rubs her back.)
Scully: What about your family?
Mulder: Mm? (They exchange looks.)
Well, aside for the need for corrective lenses and the tendency to be
abducted by extraterrestrials involved in international governmental
conspiracies, the Mulder family passes genetic muster.
--Home
Scully: Now, we all have a natural instinct to propagate.
Mulder: Do we?
Scully: There are theories which pose that our bodies
are simply vehicles for genes needing to propagate. (She turns
away.)
Mulder: Scully? I never saw you as a mother
before.
--Home
Mulder: Dana, if, um, early in the four years we've been
working together an event occurred that suggested or somebody told you
that we'd been friends together in other lifetimes- always- would it have
changed some of the ways we had looked at one another?
Scully: Even if I knew for certain, I wouldn't change
a day. (Starts to leave, but turns back.) Well, maybe
that flukeman thing. I could have lived without that just
fine.
--The Field Where I Died
Mulder: It's good to put my arms around you. . . both of
them.
Scully: When did you get back here?
Mulder: It's been a long, strange trip-
Skinner: Some other time.
