~ Pilot – written by Chris Carter
Guest Starring: William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man), Charles Cioffi (Section Chief Scott Blevins),
Zachary Ansley (Billy Miles), Sarah Koskoff (Theresa Nemman)

Mulder: Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI’s most unwanted!
Scully: Agent Mulder. I’m Dana Scully. I’ve been assigned to work with you.
Mulder: Oh, isn’t it nice to be suddenly so highly regarded.
So who did you tick off to get stuck with this detail, Scully?
Scully: Actually, I’m looking forward to working with you. I’ve heard a lot about you.
Mulder: Oh, really… I was under the impression that you were sent to spy on me.

Scully: What I find fantastic is any notion that there are answers beyond the realm of science.
The answers are there. You just have to know where to look.
Mulder: That’s why they put the “I” in “F.B.I.”

Scully: No, wait a minute. You’re saying that, that time disappeared.
Time can’t just disappear. It’s, it’s a universal invariant!
Mulder: Not in this zipcode.

Mulder: You’re a part of that agenda, you know that.
Scully: I’m not a part of any agenda. You’ve got to trust me. I’m here just like you, to solve this.

~ Deep Throat – written by Chris Carter
Guest Starring: Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat), Seth Green
Trivia: Seth Green and David Duchovny tried to make each other laugh during the diner scene.

Mulder: So, you and I, are going to the spud state to investigate a little kidnapping.
Scully: I don’t get it Mulder. Does this have something to do with an X-File?
I thought you only liked those, er, paranormal type cases. Am I missing something here?
Mulder: Let’s just say, this case has a, distinct smell to it, a certain, paranormal bouquet.

Scully: Mulder, did you see their eyes? If I were that stoned…
Mulder: Woo, if you were that stoned, what?
Scully: Mulder, you could have shown that kid a picture of a flying hamburger
and he would have told you that’s exactly what he saw…

Mulder: They’re here, aren’t they?
Deep Throat: Mr. Mulder, they’ve been here for a long, long time.

~ Squeeze – written by Glen Morgan & James Wong
Guest Starring: Doug Hutchison (Eugene Victor Tooms)

Scully: Oh my God, Mulder, it’s smells like…I think it’s bile.
Mulder: Is there any way I can get it off my fingers quickly without betraying my cool exterior.

~ Conduit – written by Howard Gordon

Dr. Heitz Werber: Are you scared?
Mulder: I know I should be, but I’m not.
Dr. Heitz Werber: Do you know why?
Mulder: Because of the voice.
Dr. Heitz Werber: The voice?
Mulder: The voice in my head.
Dr. Heitz Werber: What’s it telling you?
Mulder: Not to be afraid. It’s telling me no harm will come to her,
and that one day she’ll return.
Dr. Heitz Werber: Do you believe the voice?
Mulder: I want to believe.

~ Jersey Devil – written by Chris Carter

Scully: Yeah well, I have got to get back to Washington by 7:30, so er..
Mulder: Another birthday party?
Scully: No. I have a date.
Mulder: Can you cancel?
Scully: Unlike you Mulder, I would like to have a life.

Mulder: Don’t you have a life, Scully?
Scully: Keep that up, Mulder, and I’ll hurt you like that beast-woman.
Mulder: Eight million years out of Africa.
Scully: Look who’s holding the door.

~ Shadows – written by Glen Morgan & James Wong

Scully: You lied. You have seen this before, I can tell. You lied to them.
Mulder: I would never lie. I willfully participated in a campaign of misinformation.

~ Ghost in the Machine – written by Howard Gordon
Guest Starring: Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Scully: How come you two went your separate ways?
Mulder: I’m a pain in the ass to work with.
Scully: Seriously.
Mulder: I’m not a pain in the ass?
We had different career goals. Jerry wanted the fifth floor.
Scully: And you?
Mulder: I was gunning for a basement office with no heat or windows.

~ Ice – written by Glen Morgan & James Wong, directed by David Nutter
Guest Starring: Felicity Huffman
Trivia: The dog featured in this episode is the father of David Duchovny’s own dog, Blue.
David Duchovny calls this episode the ‘first really rocking’ episode.

Richter: We’re not… who… we are. We’re not… who we are.
It goes no further than this. It stops right here… right now.

Mulder: Before anyone passes judgment, may I remind you, we are in the Arctic.

Mulder: Scully, get that gun off me!
Scully: Mulder, you have to understand!
Mulder: Put it down!
Scully: You put it down first!
Mulder: Scully! For God sakes, it’s me!
Scully: Mulder… you may not be who you are.

Mulder: You give me one worm, you’ll infect me.
Scully: If that’s true, then why didn’t you let us inspect you?
Mulder: I would have but you pulled a gun on me.
Now I don’t trust them. I want to trust you.

~ Space – written by Chris Carter
Trivia: What was supposed to be the cheapest episode of the season, but went over budget and ended up being the most expensive episode instead.

~ Fallen Angel – written by Howard Gordon
Guest Starring: Scott Bellis (Max Fenig), Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Mulder: Then what can I say? How can I disprove lies that are stamped with an official seal?
Section Chief McGrath: That will be all, Mr Mulder.
Mulder: You can deny all the things I’ve seen, all the things I’ve discovered,
but not for much longer because too many others know what’s happening out there.
And no one, no government agency, has jurisdiction over the truth.

~ Eve
Guest Starring: Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Teena Simmons: We’re just little girls.
Mulder: That’s the last thing you are.

~ Fire – written by Chris Carter
Guest Starring: Mark Sheppard
Trivia: David Duchovny suffered a burn on the outside of his left hand that was severe enough to leave a scar. The wound is visible in a scene where he is waiting outside a ballroom and wipes his forehead.

Nurse: Can I get you anything, sir?
Cecil L’lvely: I’m just dying for a cigarette.

~ Beyond the Sea – written by Glen Morgan & James Wong, directed by David Nutter
Guest Starring: Brad Dourif, Don S. Davis (Captain William Scully)

Scully: Well, I came here to tell you that if he dies because of what you’ve done,
four days from now, no one will be able to stop me from being the one that will throw
the switch and gas you out of this life for good, you son of a bitch!

~ Genderbender – directed by Rob Bowman

~ Lazarus – written by Howard Gordon

~ Young at Heart – written by Chris Carter
Guest Starring: William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man), Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)
Trivia: The scene in which Agent Purdue is strangled by Barnett’s salamander hand was supposed to be considerably longer. Fox cited concerns regarding the violence issue and felt uncomfortable about letting the murder scene drag on.

Mulder: Which would have a cruel irony, wouldn’t it?
Scientific knowledge that could change the course of mankind
buried out in a field somewhere or in some safe deposit box.
Getting old, just like the rest of us.
Scully: If he didn’t destroy it, chances are that somehow, someday, somebody will find it.
Mulder: And when they do… maybe he can get his revenge from beyond the grave.
But somehow, I feel like we haven’t heard the last from John Barnett.

~ E.B.E. – written by Glen Morgan & James Wong
Guest Starring: Bruce Harwood (John Fitzgerald Byers), Tom Braidwood (Melvin Frohike), Dean Haglund (Richard Langly), Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Langly: So, check it out, Mulder, today I had breakfast with the guy who shot John F. Kennedy.
Mulder: Is that so?
Langly: Old dude now, but yeah. Says he was dressed as a cop on the grassy knoll.
Byers: And, Mulder, listen to this. Vladmir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Russian Social Democrats? He’s being put into power by the most heinous and evil force of the 20th century.
Mulder: Barney?
Byers: The C.I.A.

Scully: Please, will you just hear me? I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you.
It’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding.
But there are others who are watching you, who know what I know.
And whereas I can respect and admire your passion, they will use it against you.
Mulder, the truth is out there but so are lies.

Deep Throat: A lie, Mr. Mulder, is most convincingly hidden between two truths.
Mulder. When a shark stops swimming, it will die. Don’t stop swimming.

~ Miracle Man – written by Chris Carter & Howard Gordon
Guest Starring: Scott Bairstow

~ Shapes – directed by David Nutter

~ Darkness Falls– written by Chris Carter

Scully: And you suspect what? Bigfoot?
Mulder: Not likely. That’s a lot of flannel to be choking down even for Bigfoot.
Come on, Scully. It’ll be a nice trip to the forest.

Scully: What kind of an insect could have gotten a man all the way up in that tree?
Mulder: Itsy bitsy spider…

Mulder: And I told her it would be a nice trip to the forest.

~ Tooms– written by Glen Morgan & James Wong, directed by David Nutter
Guest Starring: Doug Hutchison (Eugene Victor Tooms), Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner), William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man), Paul Ben-Victor
Trivia: Actor Doug Hutchison played the final scene under the escalator nude, at his own suggestion.

Mulder: If you release Eugene Tooms, he will kill again. It’s in his genetic make-up.

Scully: Fox…
Mulder: I even made my parents call me 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, it could be love.
Scully: Must be fate Mulder. Rootbeer.

Scully: Okay, Mulder, but I’m warning you… if this is monkey pee, you’re on your own.

Mulder: They’re shutting us down, Scully.
Scully: What?
Mulder: They called me in tonight and they said they’re going to reassign us to other sections.
Scully: Who said that?
Mulder: Skinner. He said word came down from the top of the executive branch.
Scully: Mulder…
Mulder: It’s over, Scully.
Scully: Well, you have to lodge a protest. They can’t…
Mulder: Yes, they can.
Scully: What are you going to do?
Mulder: I’m… not going to give up. I can’t give up. Not as long as the truth is out there.

Getting old, just like the rest of us.
Scully: If he didn’t destroy it, chances are that somehow, someday, somebody will find it.

But somehow, I feel like we haven’t heard the last from John Barnett.

Langly: So, check it out, Mulder, today I had breakfast with the guy who shot John F. Kennedy.
Mulder: Is that so?
Langly: Old dude now, but yeah. Says he was dressed as a cop on the grassy knoll.
Byers: And, Mulder, listen to this. Vladmir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Russian Social Democrats? He’s being put into power by the most heinous and evil force of the 20th century.
Mulder: Barney?
Byers: The C.I.A.

Scully: Please, will you just hear me? I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you.
It’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding.
But there are others who are watching you, who know what I know.
And whereas I can respect and admire your passion, they will use it against you.
Mulder, the truth is out there but so are lies.

Deep Throat: A lie, Mr. Mulder, is most convincingly hidden between two truths.

Mulder: Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI’s most unwanted!
Scully: Agent Mulder. I’m Dana Scully. I’ve been assigned to work with you.
Mulder: Oh, isn’t it nice to be suddenly so highly regarded.
So who did you tick off to get stuck with this detail, Scully?
Scully: Actually, I’m looking forward to working with you. I’ve heard a lot about you.
Mulder: Oh, really… I was under the impression that you were sent to spy on me.

Scully: What I find fantastic is any notion that there are answers beyond the realm of science.
The answers are there. You just have to know where to look.

I thought you only liked those, er, paranormal type cases. Am I missing something here?
Mulder: Let’s just say, this case has a, distinct smell to it, a certain, paranormal bouquet.

Scully: Mulder, did you see their eyes? If I were that stoned…

Mulder: I know I should be, but I’m not.
Dr. Heitz Werber: Do you know why?
Mulder: Because of the voice.
Dr. Heitz Werber: The voice?
Mulder: The voice in my head.
Dr. Heitz Werber: What’s it telling you?
Mulder: Not to be afraid. It’s telling me no harm will come to her,
and that one day she’ll return.
Dr. Heitz Werber: Do you believe the voice?
Mulder: I want to believe.

~ Jersey Devil – written by Chris Carter

Scully: Yeah well, I have got to get back to Washington by 7:30, so er..
Mulder: Another birthday party?
Scully: No. I have a date.

Trivia: The dog featured in this episode is the father of David Duchovny’s own dog, Blue.
David Duchovny calls this episode the ‘first really rocking’ episode.

Richter: We’re not… who… we are. We’re not… who we are.
It goes no further than this. It stops right here… right now.

Mulder: Before anyone passes judgment, may I remind you, we are in the Arctic.

Mulder: Scully, get that gun off me!
Scully: Mulder, you have to understand!
Mulder: Put it down!
Scully: You put it down first!
Mulder: Scully! For God sakes, it’s me!
Scully: Mulder… you may not be who you are.

Mulder: You give me one worm, you’ll infect me.
Scully: If that’s true, then why didn’t you let us inspect you?
Mulder: I would have but you pulled a gun on me.
Now I don’t trust them. I want to trust you.

Guest Starring: Scott Bellis (Max Fenig), Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Mulder: Then what can I say? How can I disprove lies that are stamped with an official seal?
Section Chief McGrath: That will be all, Mr Mulder.
Mulder: You can deny all the things I’ve seen, all the things I’ve discovered,
but not for much longer because too many others know what’s happening out there.
And no one, no government agency, has jurisdiction over the truth.

Scully: Please, will you just hear me? I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you.
It’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding.
But there are others who are watching you, who know what I know.
And whereas I can respect and admire your passion, they will use it against you.

Mulder: Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI’s most unwanted!

Scully: Mulder, you have to understand!
Mulder: Put it down!
Scully: You put it down first!
Mulder: Scully! For God sakes, it’s me!

Mulder: Barney?
Byers: The C.I.A.

Scully: Please, will you just hear me? I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you.
It’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding.
But there are others who are watching you, who know what I know.
And whereas I can respect and admire your passion, they will use it against you.
Mulder, the truth is out there but so are lies.

Zachary Ansley (Billy Miles), Sarah Koskoff (Theresa Nemman)

Mulder: Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI’s most unwanted!
Scully: Agent Mulder. I’m Dana Scully. I’ve been assigned to work with you.
Mulder: Oh, isn’t it nice to be suddenly so highly regarded.
So who did you tick off to get stuck with this detail, Scully?
Scully: Actually, I’m looking forward to working with you. I’ve heard a lot about you.
Mulder: Oh, really… I was under the impression that you were sent to spy on me.

Scully: What I find fantastic is any notion that there are answers beyond the realm of science.
The answers are there. You just have to know where to look.
Mulder: That’s why they put the “I” in “F.B.I.”

Scully: No, wait a minute. You’re saying that, that time disappeared.
Time can’t just disappear. It’s, it’s a universal invariant!

I thought you only liked those, er, paranormal type cases. Am I missing something here?
Mulder: Let’s just say, this case has a, distinct smell to it, a certain, paranormal bouquet.

Scully: Mulder, did you see their eyes? If I were that stoned…
Mulder: Woo, if you were that stoned, what?
Scully: Mulder, you could have shown that kid a picture of a flying hamburger

Scully: Mulder, I wouldn’t put myself on the line for anybody but you.

Scully: Okay, Mulder, but I’m warning you… if this is monkey pee, you’re on your own.

Mulder: They’re shutting us down, Scully.
Scully: What?
Mulder: They called me in tonight and they said they’re going to reassign us to other sections.
Scully: Who said that?
Mulder: Skinner. He said word came down from the top of the executive branch.
Scully: Mulder…
Mulder: It’s over, Scully.
Scully: Well, you have to lodge a protest. They can’t…
Mulder: Yes, they can.
Scully: What are you going to do?

Season One Video Recap

The X-Files
Season One: 1993-1994
through the most memorable moments, capsule quotes, for sale and visuals.

~ Pilot
[ written by Chris Carter ]

GUEST STARRING: William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man), Charles Cioffi (Section Chief Scott Blevins), Zachary Ansley (Billy Miles), Sarah Koskoff (Theresa Nemman)

Third Man: Are you familiar with an agent named Fox Mulder?
Scully: Yes, I am.
Third Man: How so?
Scully: By reputation. He’s an Oxford educated Psychologist, who wrote a monograph on serial killers and the occult, that helped to catch Monty Props in 1988. Generally thought of as the best analyst in the violent crimes section. He had a nickname at the academy… Spooky Mulder.

Mulder: Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI’s most unwanted!
Scully: Agent Mulder. I’m Dana Scully. I’ve been assigned to work with you.
Mulder: Oh, isn’t it nice to be suddenly so highly regarded. So who did you tick off to get stuck with this detail, Scully?
Scully: Actually, I’m looking forward to working with you. I’ve heard a lot about you.
Mulder: Oh, really… I was under the impression that you were sent to spy on me.

xxx

Scully: What I find fantastic is any notion that there are answers beyond the realm of science. The answers are there. You just have to know where to look.
Mulder: That’s why they put the ‘I’ in ‘F.B.I.’

Scully: You’re saying that, that time disappeared. Time can’t just disappear. It’s, it’s a universal invariant!
Mulder: Not in this zipcode.

Mulder: You’re a part of that agenda, you know that.
Scully: I’m not a part of any agenda. You’ve got to trust me. I’m here just like you, to solve this.

~ Deep Throat
[ written by Chris Carter ]

GUEST STARRING: Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat), Seth Green
TRIVIA: Seth Green and David Duchovny tried to make each other laugh during the diner scene.

Mulder: So, you and I, are going to the spud state to investigate a little kidnapping.
Scully : I don’t get it Mulder. Does this have something to do with an X-File? I thought you only liked those, er, paranormal type cases. Am I missing something here?
Mulder: Let’s just say, this case has a, distinct smell to it, a certain, paranormal bouquet.

Scully: Mulder, did you see their eyes? If I were that stoned…
Mulder: Woo, if you were that stoned, what?
Scully: Mulder, you could have shown that kid a picture of a flying hamburger and he would have told you that’s exactly what he saw…

Mulder: They’re here, aren’t they?
Deep Throat: Mr. Mulder, they’ve been here for a long, long time.

~ Squeeze
[ written by Glen Morgan & James Wong ]

GUEST STARRING: Doug Hutchison (Eugene Victor Tooms)

Scully: Oh my God, Mulder, it smells like…I think it’s bile.
Mulder: Is there any way I can get it off my fingers quickly without betraying my cool exterior.

~ Conduit
[ written by Howard Gordon ]

Dr. Heitz Werber: Are you scared?
Mulder: I know I should be, but I’m not.
Dr. Heitz Werber: Do you know why?
Mulder: Because of the voice.
Dr. Heitz Werber: The voice?
Mulder: The voice in my head.
Dr. Heitz Werber: What’s it telling you?
Mulder: Not to be afraid. It’s telling me no harm will come to her,
and that one day she’ll return.
Dr. Heitz Werber: Do you believe the voice?
Mulder: I want to believe.

~ Jersey Devil
[ written by Chris Carter ]

Scully: Yeah well, I have got to get back to Washington by 7:30, so er..
Mulder: Another birthday party?
Scully: No. I have a date.
Mulder: Can you cancel?
Scully: Unlike you Mulder, I would like to have a life.

Mulder: Don’t you have a life, Scully?
Scully: Keep that up, Mulder, and I’ll hurt you like that beast-woman.
Mulder: Eight million years out of Africa.
Scully: Look who’s holding the door.

~ Shadows
[ written by Glen Morgan & James Wong ]

Scully: You lied. You have seen this before, I can tell. You lied to them.
Mulder: I would never lie. I willfully participated in a campaign of misinformation.

~ Ghost in the Machine
[ written by Howard Gordon ]

GUEST STARRING: Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Scully: How come you two went your separate ways?
Mulder: I’m a pain in the ass to work with.
Scully: Seriously.
Mulder: I’m not a pain in the ass?
We had different career goals. Jerry wanted the fifth floor.
Scully: And you?
Mulder: I was gunning for a basement office with no heat or windows.

~ Ice
[ written by Glen Morgan & James Wong, directed by David Nutter ]

GUEST STARRING: Felicity Huffman
TRIVIA: The dog featured in this episode is the father of David Duchovny’s own dog, Blue.
David Duchovny calls this episode the ‘first really rocking’ episode.

Richter: We’re not… who… we are. We’re not… who we are.
It goes no further than this. It stops right here… right now.

Mulder: Before anyone passes judgment, may I remind you, we are in the Arctic.

Mulder: Scully, get that gun off me!
Scully: Mulder, you have to understand!
Mulder: Put it down!
Scully: You put it down first!
Mulder: Scully! For God sakes, it’s me!
Scully: Mulder… you may not be who you are.

Mulder: You give me one worm, you’ll infect me.
Scully: If that’s true, then why didn’t you let us inspect you?
Mulder: I would have but you pulled a gun on me.
Now I don’t trust them. I want to trust you.

~ Space
[ written by Chris Carter ]

TRIVIA: What was supposed to be the cheapest episode of the season, but went over budget and ended up being the most expensive episode instead.

~ Fallen Angel
[ written by Howard Gordon ]

GUEST STARRING: Scott Bellis (Max Fenig), Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Mulder: Then what can I say? How can I disprove lies that are stamped with an official seal?
Section Chief McGrath: That will be all, Mr. Mulder.
Mulder: You can deny all the things I’ve seen, all the things I’ve discovered,
but not for much longer because too many others know what’s happening out there.
And no one, no government agency, has jurisdiction over the truth.

~ Eve

GUEST STARRING: Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Teena Simmons: We’re just little girls.
Mulder: That’s the last thing you are.

~ Fire – written by Chris Carter

GUEST STARRING: Mark Sheppard
TRIVIA: David Duchovny suffered a burn on the outside of his left hand that was severe enough to leave a scar. The wound is visible in a scene where he is waiting outside a ballroom and wipes his forehead.

Nurse: Can I get you anything, sir?
Cecil L’lvely: I’m just dying for a cigarette.

~ Beyond the Sea
[ written by Glen Morgan & James Wong, directed by David Nutter ]

GUEST STARRING: Brad Dourif, Don S. Davis (Captain William Scully)

Scully: Well, I came here to tell you that if he dies because of what you’ve done,
four days from now, no one will be able to stop me from being the one that will throw
the switch and gas you out of this life for good, you son of a bitch!

~ Genderbender
[ directed by Rob Bowman ]

~ Lazarus
[ written by Howard Gordon ]

~ Young at Heart
[ written by Chris Carter ]

GUEST STARRING: William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man), Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)
TRIVIA: The scene in which Agent Purdue is strangled by Barnett’s salamander hand was supposed to be considerably longer. Fox cited concerns regarding the violence issue and felt uncomfortable about letting the murder scene drag on.

Mulder: Which would have a cruel irony, wouldn’t it? Scientific knowledge that could change the course of mankind buried out in a field somewhere or in some safe deposit box. Getting old, just like the rest of us.
Scully: If he didn’t destroy it, chances are that somehow, someday, somebody will find it.
Mulder: And when they do… maybe he can get his revenge from beyond the grave.
But somehow, I feel like we haven’t heard the last from John Barnett.

~ E.B.E.
[ written by Glen Morgan & James Wong ]

GUEST STARRING: Bruce Harwood (John Fitzgerald Byers), Tom Braidwood (Melvin Frohike), Dean Haglund (Richard Langly), Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat)

Langly: So, check it out, Mulder, today I had breakfast with the guy who shot John F. Kennedy.
Mulder: Is that so?
Langly: Old dude now, but yeah. Says he was dressed as a cop on the grassy knoll.
Byers: And, Mulder, listen to this. Vladmir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Russian Social Democrats? He’s being put into power by the most heinous and evil force of the 20th century.
Mulder: Barney?
Byers: The C.I.A.
Scully: Hmm.
Langly: Is this your skeptical partner?
Frohike: She’s hot.

SCULLY: Those were the most paranoid people I have ever met. I don’t know how you could think that what they say is even remotely plausible.
MULDER: I think it’s remotely plausible that someone might think you’re hot.

xxx

Scully: Please, will you just hear me? I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you. It’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding. But there are others who are watching you, who know what I know. And whereas I can respect and admire your passion, they will use it against you.
Mulder, the truth is out there but so are lies.

Deep Throat: A lie, Mr. Mulder, is most convincingly hidden between two truths. … Mulder. When a shark stops swimming, it will die. Don’t stop swimming.

~ Miracle Man – written by Chris Carter & Howard Gordon

GUEST STARRING: Scott Bairstow

~ Shapes – directed by David Nutter

~ Darkness Falls – written by Chris Carter

Scully: And you suspect what? Bigfoot?
Mulder: Not likely. That’s a lot of flannel to be choking down even for Bigfoot. Come on, Scully. It’ll be a nice trip to the forest.

Scully: What kind of an insect could have gotten a man all the way up in that tree?
Mulder: Itsy bitsy spider…

Mulder: And I told her it would be a nice trip to the forest.

~ Tooms
[ written by Glen Morgan & James Wong, directed by David Nutter ]

GUEST STARRING: Doug Hutchison (Eugene Victor Tooms), Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner), William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man), Paul Ben-Victor
TRIVIA: Actor Doug Hutchison played the final scene under the escalator nude, at his own suggestion.

Mulder: If you release Eugene Tooms, he will kill again. It’s in his genetic make-up.

Scully: Fox…
Mulder: I even made my parents call me 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, it could be love.
Scully: Must be fate Mulder. Rootbeer.
