Quotes6

  • Scully: Mulder, you never fail to surprise me. I just wish I felt like eating it right now.
  • Mulder: That's cool. We can just wait for the cheese to congeal and eat it later. You miss your regular pizza man, don't you?
  • Scully: Yes. That's okay. He's coming by later.
  • [Mulder stares at Scully and then realized that she's kidding]
  • Mulder: I bet you forgot about that, didn't you?
  • [handing her his gift]
  • Scully: No, I didn't, actually. I thought about it a lot while I was lying in my hospital bed, wondering what on earth you could have given me.
  • Mulder: And?
  • Scully: Oh, my God. Oh, Mulder.
  • Mulder: Is it what you imagined?
  • Scully: Not even close.
  • Mulder: Oh, my, that's the wrong doll, actually.
  • Scully: But then that's the other gift that you gave me, Mulder. Courage... to believe. And I hope that's a gift I can pass on.
  • Mulder: When I first came to work with the FBI, I worked in violent crimes. I saw the worst of humanity; I saw monsters, and I wondered how they became that way - how these men became so evil. And there are psychological explanations: victims of their environment, victims of their parents, but the scientific explanations were never truly satisfied. And I began to think about evil like a disease, how it goes from man to man or age to age. Most of us walk around thinking that we're incapable of any acts of evil, and we are. We can stifle that momentary urge to kill or to hurt; we have some kind of immunity to it. But I think it's possible that there's an occurrence in somebody's life, a tragedy or a loss, that leaves them vulnerable, hurts their immunity to evil. And all of a sudden, at that point in their lives when they're weakened, they're open to evil... and they can become evil.
  • Mulder: You can't help a man who can't help himself.
  • Scully: Is that for me?
  • Mulder: Yeah.
  • Scully: Nice package!
  • Mulder: [after Reyes has impressed him] I think there's going to be an opening coming up in this office. You might want to apply.
  • Monica Reyes: In India, in Africa, in Iran, in the Middle East, in the Far East, most of the world, they take it as a given. They see evil in death the way other people see God in a rose.
  • Mulder: I saw Elvis in a potato chip once.
