the X-Files

This is divided by episode. I've written in even the episodes that don't have any quotes under them.

People have been coloured to make reading easier. Mulder is aqua, Scully is gold, and everyone else stays white.

4X01 Herrenvolk

Don't unlock doors you're not prepared to go through, Agent Scully.
-- X ????????????????????????comment??

I've seen too many things not to believe.
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.
You put such faith in your science, Scully. But... the things I've seen, science provides no place to start.
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.
-- ????????????????????????comment??

4X02 Unruhe

Says here that you have a sister. Where is your sister, Gerry?
She passed.
Actually, it says here she committed suicide in 1980. That was a bad year. What else happened in 1980, Gerry?
Well, John Lennon got shot. Where the hell are you going with this? What are you, Sigmund Freud? Why don't you cut the BS?
-- forgot to mention real major event????????????????????????comment??

4X03 Home

Compression marks indicate the shovel blade to be approximately six and three-quarters inches. Uh, the angle of movement and deeper indentation on the right side of the mark suggests a left-handed individual. I've collected soil specimens and, uh, although numerous shoe impressions were made from the sandlot game, I think a, uh, a couple of dental stone casts will prove invaluable to the investigation. [Mulder tosses a ball in the air, not really concentrating] Meanwhile, I've quit the F.B.I. and become a spokesperson for the Ab-roller.
Smell that. It's perfume. Eau de ball. God, this brings back a lot of memories. My sister... all day pick-up games out on the vineyard, ride your bikes down to the beach, eat bologna sandwiches. Only place you had to be on time was home for dinner. Never had to lock your doors. No modems, no faxes, no cell phones.
Mulder, if you had to do without a cell phone for two minutes, you'd lapse into catatonic schizophrenia.
-- ????????????????????????comment??

Imagine all a woman's hopes and dreams for her child and then nature turns so cruel. What must a mother go through?
Apparently not much in this case if she just threw it out with the trash.
I, I guess I was just projecting on myself.
Why, is there a history of genetic abnormalities in your family?
No.
Well, just find yourself a man with a spotless genetic make-up and a really high tolerance for being second-guessed and start pumping out the little Uber-Scullys.
What about your family?
Hmm? Well, aside from the need for corrective lenses and a tendency to be abducted by extraterrestrials involved in an international governmental conspiracy, the Mulder family passes genetic muster.
-- ????????????????????????comment??

Is there some secret farmer trick to get these things moving?
I don't know... bah-ram-ewe. Bah-ram-ewe!
Yeah, that'll work.
I baby-sat my nephew this weekend. He watches Babe fifteen times a day.
And people call me spooky.
-- ????????????????????????comment??

4X04 Teliko

Hey. I heard you were down here slicing and dicing. Who�s the lucky stiff?
His name was Owen Sanders. He was reported as the fourth kidnap victim in Philadelphia until his body turned up last night looking like this.
There�s a Michael Jackson joke in here somewhere, but I can�t quite find it.
-- performing autopsy on pigment drained african-american ????????????????????????comment??

Death is a health crisis.
-- ????????????????????????comment??

Well, however he�s managed to survive wha... I mean what.... what makes you think he�s not an isolated case?
Because of something somebody told me last night. An African folktale.
So you�re basing this theory on a folktale?
It�s just another way of describing the same truth, right? I mean all new truths begin as heresies and end as superstitions. We... we fear the unknown, so we reduce it to the terms that are most familiar to us, whether that�s a folktale, or a disease, or a... conspiracy.
-- ????????????????????????comment??

4X05 The Field Where I Died

You, you were there, Scully! You saw it. You heard it. Why can't you feel it? How could I know about a bunker in a field where I've never been?
And why is it that Vernon Ephesian is, reported by you, a paranoid sociopath because he believes that he lived in Greece a hundred years ago, and you're not, even though you believe you died in that field?
-- ????????????????????????comment??

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... wouldn't it have changed some of the ways we looked at one another?
Even if I knew for certain, I wouldn't change a day. [she starts to leave] Well, maybe that Flukeman thing. I could've lived without that just fine.
-- ????????????????????????comment??

4X06 Sanguinarium

Are you aware that Dr. Lloyd is claiming he was possessed during the incident?
I guess it�s cheaper than malpractice insurance.
-- nurse waite ????????????????????????comment??

Belladonna. It�s also known as Witch�s Berry � that�s an herb used in hexing rituals.
Mulder, do you know how many pharmaceuticals listed in the PDR contain belladonna?
Yeah, just one � the one Dr. Lloyd was taking.
Well, if it�s that simple, why don�t you put out an APB for someone riding a broom and wearing a tall black hat?
-- ????????????????????????comment??

You had a good thing going, you can bet somebody will try and take it away. I�m beginning to understand why a man becomes a conservative - he�s got something to conserve.

4X07 Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man

Cancer Man's written in lime for this episode.

Don't use my name! What the hell's wrong with you? Now I'll have to kill you!
-- Frohike ????????????????????????comment??

Part I "Things really did go well in Dealey Plaza."

Why don't you just go see the movie?
I'd rather read the worst novel ever written than sit through the best movie ever made.
-- William Mulder and Cancer Man in the army ????????????????????????comment??

My one-year old just said his first word.
What was the word?
J.F.K.
-- William Mulder and Cancer Man in the army ????????????????????????comment??

Your father's actions were totally out of your control. Each of us in this room stands a life eviscerated by the actions of another. Cigarette?
No, thank you, sir. I never touch them.
-- francis ????????????????????????comment??

You shouldn't smoke those, Lee. I'm reading studies that say they can kill you.
Well. Mister Hunt, sir. I, uh, I've heard about those reports and they are no doubt correct.
You'll have a good view of the President today.
Well, I, I like the President's family. They're interesting people. However, I have my own views on the President's national policy. I'll probably just eat lunch.
-- Lee Harvey Oswald ????????????????????????comment??

Part II "Just down the road aways from Graceland."

The shirtless and barefoot people of the land are rising up as never before.
"I can kill you whenever I please..."
The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light.
"But not today."
-- martin luther king jr. on the radio as Cancer Man types ????????????????????????comment??

Sit down. You've enough plausible deniability to last the rest of your nine lives.
-- Cancer Man ????????????????????????comment??

Part III "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!"

Internationally, Bosnia-Herzegovina is set for a February vote on independence from Yugoslavia.
America couldn't care less.
I'm working on next month's Oscar nominations. Any preference?
I couldn't care less. What I don't want to see is the Bills winning the Super Bowl. As long as I'm alive, that doesn't happen.
That'll be tough, sir. Buffalo wants it bad.
So did the Soviets in '80.
What're you saying? You rigged the Olympic hockey game?
What's the matter? Don't you believe in miracles?
$$ The boss gave the Russian goaltender a pre-game good luck pat on the back... unseen novocaine needle on a bogus wedding ring. Goalie's a little slow on the stick side... four-three, home team.
Payback's a bitch, Ivan. Well, gentlemen, if that'll be all...
One thing internally, sir. That "Spooky" kid who talked his way into opening X-Files... it feels like trouble.
He's mine to keep an eye on. [the machine beeps, and states "GORBACHEV HAS RESIGNED"] Gorbachev has just resigned.
~~There's no more enemies.
-- Jones, $$Lydon, ~~Matlock ????????????????????????comment??

How many historic events have only the two of us witnessed together, Ronald? How often did we make or change history? And our names can never grace any pages of record. No monument will ever bear our image. And yet once again, tonight, the course of human history will be set by two unknown men... standing in the shadows.
-- Cancer Man to Deep Throat????????????????????????comment??

Part IV "The X-Files"

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. So, 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, and the taste is... fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers.

4X08 Paper Hearts

I sat on this couch... when your dad bought the vacuum. You're ready?
Go.
November twenty-seventh, 1973. I watched the house for hours. I parked across the way, out over there. I was just casing, I wasn't planning for this to be the night. But then, all of a sudden, your parents leave and I figure...
Where'd they go?
House next door. To play pinochle, I don't know... whatever it was people did back then.
Go on.
So after they're gone, I get out of my car and I move closer. And I watched you and your sister playing that board game. A little bit after eight, I'm about ready so I move to the junction box. I cut the power, and the lights go off, and then I moved around the front door. And I was ready to kick the door in... it was unlocked. It was 1973. It was... a different world back then.
And then what did you do?
Well, you remember that. I... came in the front door. And you tried to get to your father's gun, I g, I give you credit for that. But then you sort of froze, and then... I took your sister away from all this. To a happier place.
That's exactly how it happened? Right here in this room?
Yeah.
Wrong house. My father bought this house after he and my mother divorced. This house is in West Tisbury. The house that Samantha was abducted from is in Chilmark. That's six miles from here! You screwed up. You were never here. You didn't take Samantha.
Wishful thinking.
No. No, but I think I know what happened. Somehow you got inside my dreams.
Come again?
I profiled you. I got inside your head, maybe you got inside mine. Maybe some nexus or connection was formed between us and through that, you got access to my memories of my sister Samantha and you used them against me for this.
You're just resisting me.
And you're in the wrong house, you stupid son of a bitch! You were never here, you liar!
It's geography, man. It's just geography. It was twenty-three years ago, that was geography we're talking about.
Yeah, but you remember all the other details so vividly. That's because you watched it through my eyes... through my dreams.
I hear things about you, Mulder. You know what I heard? I heard you go after aliens... from space. It's like your world will be okay as long as you can believe in, like, flying saucers. [He makes an alien noise] But I'm telling you the God's honest truth. I can see you're not as open-minded as you think you are.
You must have been one hell of a salesman, Roche.
-- John Lee Roche ????????????????????????comment??

4X09 Tunguska

You can't -- you can't leave me out here, I'm going to freeze to death!
Just think warm thoughts.
-- Skinner handcuffs Krycek to an outside balcony ????????????????????????comment??

What are you looking for?
My cell phone. I gotta book myself on a flight to Krasnoyarsk, Russia.
I can help you, Agent Mulder.
Find my cell phone?
No. With cover credentials. A diplomatic passport. A visa.
Why? Why are you helping me?
Because I can. Because there are those of us who believe in you... believe in the search for the truth.
-- Marita (full name??) ????????????????????????comment??

4X10 Terma


Mulder
Scully

-- ????????????????????????comment?? (Well-Manicured Man is sitting, smoking a cigarette.) CSM: That's a nasty habit...bad for the health. WELL-MANICURED MAN: (snuffs out cigarette with his shoe) Health is the least of my concerns at the moment. CSM: Yes. (lights cigarette)

4X11 El Mundo Gira


Mulder
Scully

-- ????????????????????????comment?? MULDER: Well, according to eyewitnesses, the death we�re investigating was preceded by a Fortean event. That�s a highly unusual or infrequent meteorological phenomenon also known as a transient. SCULLY: A transient. MULDER: Yeah. Witnesses described a bright flash about 30 degrees off the horizon, then a hot yellow rain fell from a cloudless sky. Fortean researchers call these "liquid falls." Black and red rains are the most common, but there have also been reported cases of blue, purple and green rains. SCULLY: Purple rain? MULDER: Yeah. Great album. Deeply flawed movie, though.

4X12 Kaddish


Mulder
Scully

-- ????????????????????????comment?? MULDER: A resurrection hoax. SCULLY: And not a very good one. MULDER: Yes, spectral figures are not often known to leave fingerprints. Casper never did. SCULLY: You haven't heard the rumors? BJUNES: What rumors? SCULLY: That Luria is back from the dead? That he's risen from his grave? BJUNES: What kind of Jew trick is this? MULDER: A Jew pulled it off 2000 years ago. KENNETH UNGAR: See... (He shows a page to Mulder) ...these pages, they're basically instructions for animating the inanimate. (He turns the page.) And this... this passage here talks about inscribing a single word on the Golem itself. MULDER: On the back of his hand? KENNETH UNGAR: I'm impressed. MULDER: What's the secret word? KENNETH UNGAR: Emet. See... (He points to three symbols of the text.) Aleph, Mem, Tau... Creates the word, Emet. MULDER: I don't speak Hebrew, I don't know what that means. KENNETH UNGAR: Truth. Emet means truth. (Kenneth sits back down.) See, Mr. Mulder, therein lies the paradox... because the danger of the truth is contained in the word Golem itself. Which means matter without form, body without soul. MULDER: So the Golem is an imperfect creation. KENNETH UNGAR Oh, kind of a monster, really. Unable to speak or feel anything but the most primitive of emotions. It runs amok. It has to be destroyed by its creator. MULDER: Destroyed, how? (Kenneth stands again and flips through the book to find the page.) KENNETH UNGAR: By erasing the first letter, Aleph. (Kenneth puts his finger over the first symbol, on the right.) Emet becomes met... which means dead. Again, Mr. Mulder... the power of letters, not just to create, but to kill.

4X13 Never Again


Mulder
Scully

-- ????????????????????????comment?? MULDER: I made a last ditch effort to get out of it, but the Bureau is holding fast to its Federal Employees Vacation Policy. (Opens file cabinet) I haven�t taken a day off in four years, so either I take a week vacation now, or they start not paying me for eight weeks� vacation time. I don�t like it, but I got to do it. I got to pay the rent. I got to eat. Part of me can�t help thinking this is just another way to get me out of here. But it is only a week, and you�ll be here to keep an eye on things for me, so... here�s a few things for you to keep an eye on while I�m gone. (Sorts through files) SCULLY: Why don�t I have a desk? MULDER: What do you mean? (SCULLY holds up his name plate.) MULDER: (pointing behind him) I always assumed that that was your area. SCULLY: (wistfully) Back there. MULDER: Okay, so we�ll have them send down another desk and there won�t be any room to move around here but we can put them really close together face to face, maybe we can play some Battleship. SCULLY: So what is it you want me to keep an eye on? MULDER: That contact that we met last night at the Wall who had the distinction of being present for a first - - - that being you abandoning me during questioning. In the future, I�ll make sure that all those people being interviewed provide you with a multi-media laser show to keep your interest maintained. SCULLY: Your contact, while interesting in the context of science fiction, was, at least in my memory, recounting a poorly veiled synopsis of an episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle. MULDER: Eenie, meenie, chili beanie, the spirits are about to speak? (chuckles) SCULLY: Rocky and Bullwinkle are looking for an upsidasium mine. Boris Badenov alters the road signs which causes them to walk onto a secret military base, where they are picked up by a car with no windows and no door locks, and there are silent explosions from a compound called "Hushaboom." MULDER: So you�re refusing an assignment based on the adventures of Moose and Squirrel?

4X14 Leonard Betts


Mulder
Scully

-- ????????????????????????comment?? MULDER: (on phone) I�m standing here in Leonard Betts� apartment. Whoever we saw in those video grabs, his clothes are strewn all over the floor. He made himself at home. Maybe he was home. SCULLY: (on phone) Leonard Betts? MULDER: (on phone) Yeah. SCULLY: (on phone) Without his head. MULDER: (on phone, embarrassed) Yeah. SCULLY: (on phone) Mulder, I don�t even know how to respond to that. (Hospital lab. MULDER and SCULLY watch as LEONARD�S head is lifted dripping from a vat of epoxy.) SCULLY: This procedure is called biopolymerization. It�s basically a high-tech mummification process. The remains are dipped in the epoxy and once it�s cured the specimen can be sliced for examination. MULDER: Or you�ve got yourself a nice paperweight. (MULDER laughs at his own joke.) SCULLY: (NOT laughing) At any rate .. we should have some autopsy answers for you soon. MULDER: We both know salamanders have grown entirely new limbs � regenerated. SCULLY: Salamanders are one thing, but no mammal possesses that kind of regenerative power. I mean, there isn�t a creature walking this earth that can regrow its head. MULDER: Worms. You cut a worm in half, you get two. SCULLY: Mulder, they�re worms. MULDER: Wouldn�t it make sense that evolution or natural selection would incorporate cancer � the greatest health threat to our species as part of our genetic makeup? SCULLY: Why do I think that Charles Darwin is rolling in his grave right now? (Later, MULDER and SCULLY stand between LEONARD�S body and an unopened coffin. SCULLY covers her nose as the coffin is cranked open revealing a corpse identical to that of LEONARD.) MULDER: Will the real Leonard Betts please stand up?

4X15 Memento Mori


Mulder
Scully

-- ????????????????????????comment?? (mulder is carrying flowers) MULDER: Scully? I uh, stole these from some guy with a broken leg down the hall. He uh, won't be able to catch me. (Skinner enters the darkened office. Cancer Man is sitting in the chair, smoking.) CANCER MAN: It's funny, I always thought of you as Fox Mulder's patron. You'd think under your aegis that he wouldn't be consigned to a corner of the basement. SKINNER: At least he doesn't take an elevator up to get to work. CANCER MAN: You think I'm the devil, Mr. Skinner?

4X16 Unrequited


Mulder
Scully

-- ????????????????????????comment?? SCULLY: Was that for the benefit of the general, or have you been able to develop a real strategy? SKINNER: Right now, I'm flying by the seat of my pants. MULDER: You mean there's no procedure outlined for an invisible assasin?

4X17 Tempis Fugit


Mulder
Scully

-- ????????????????????????comment?? SCULLY: Mulder... you have never remembered my birthday in the four years I've known you. MULDER: That's how I like to celebrate them... (He stops clapping.) ... every four years, it's like dog years that way. (She tries to blow out the candle, but is distracted by his choice of words and smiles.) SCULLY: Dog years? Thank you. MULDER: You're welcome. MULDER: I think we all share the same goal here, sir, and that's to find out what caused that plane to crash. MIKE MILLAR: And if any of the capable men and women find... Doctor Spock's phaser or some green alien goo, we'll be sure to give you all the credit. (Mulder laughs, as does the group.) MOTEL MANAGER: I doubt insurance will cover it. MULDER: Does your policy cover the acts of extraterrestrials? MIKE MILLAR: What happened here? MULDER: You're the experts. Why don't you bring your team down here and work it out? MIKE MILLAR: They've got their hands full. MULDER: Yeah, coming up with all that inconclusive evidence. MIKE MILLAR: I've come to tell you we've found some evidence. Good evidence. SCULLY: About what caused the crash? MIKE MILLAR: Quite possibly, though I'm not ready to make an announcement. MULDER: Why not? MIKE MILLAR: I'm afraid I'd sound as crazy as you. (Mulder grins.) (Mulder and Bearfeld head towards a spot in the water where bubbles are breaking the surface and stop. Mulder is wearing a wetsuit.) MULDER: How deep is it here? BRUCE BEARFELD: Fifty, sixty maybe. (He tosses the flashlight down into the water.) BRUCE BEARFELD: Have you worked at this depth before? (Mulder puts on his goggles.) MULDER: Not exactly. BRUCE BEARFELD: What exactly is your experience? MULDER: Once, I, uh... I got a quarter off of the deep end at the "Y" pool. (Bearfeld looks flabbergasted. Mulder nods, secures his mouthpiece and falls backwards into the icy water.)
