Dana Scully: "I hold this around my neck and I dont
know why, Ive built my life on believing that science can
show me the way. I have this charm of something whose existence
I cant prove. I dont know what I believe anymore
I dont know. How can you be so stable; what are your beliefs?"
Fox Mulder: "I believe in the TRUTH, and its
out there; you just need to know where to look."
Mulder: Sometimes the need to mess with their heads,
outweighs the millstone of humiliation.
Mulder (to Scully): "You're my one in
five billion."
Scully (about Mulder): "Well, it seems
to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently
the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you
look at the person and you see something more than you did the
night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the
person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you
can ever imagine yourself with."
Scully: The truth is out there, but so are the lies.
Mulder: A dream is an answer to a question we haven't
yet learned how to ask.
Mulder: I never lie. I willfully engage in a campaign
of misinformation.
Cigarette Smoking Man: Life... is like a box of chocolates.
A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for.
Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates.
You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you
mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure,
once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee.
But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up
with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching
nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've
got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown
paper wrappers.
The Lone Gunmen: UFO's caused the Gulf War Syndrome?
Thats why we like you, Mulder. Your ideas are weirder than ours.
Scully (to Mulder): I wouldn't put myself on
the line for anyone but you.
Mulder: Rage unconfronted takes its own path.
