| Season 1 |
| Pilot Mulder: "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." (The totally classic conversation when Mulder and Scully first met. Can you feel the chemistry?) Mulder: "Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrials?" (The posing question.) Scully: "The boy in the hospital, the vegetable." (You just have to listen to her say this one. Let's just say it's one of the quotes that springs Scully into a spurt of laugher...something most people don't hear very often.) |
| Squeeze Mulder: "Do you think I'm spooky?" (What would she have said if Colton hadn't walked in?) Mulder: "Do you have any saline on you because this stuff makes me sick?" Scully: "Is this what it takes to climb the ladder, Colton?" Colton: "All the way to the top." Scully: "Then I hope you fall off and land on your a**." (Go Scully!) Scully: "Mulder, I think it's bile." Mulder: "Is there any way I can get this off my hands without betraying my cool exterior?" |
| The Jersey Devil Ellen: "What about that guy you work with?" Scully: "Mulder?" Ellen: "Yeah, I thought you said he was cute." Scully: He's a jerk...he's not a jerk...he's obsessed with his work." (Scully thinks Mulder's cute?!) Scully: "The drunk tank?" (Another one - you just gotta hear it.) Mulder: "Don't you have a life, Scully? Scully: "Keep it up, Mulder and I'll hurt you like that beast woman did." Mulder: "Eight million years out of Africa." Scully: "Look who's holding the door." |
| Shadows Mulder: "Only one man has pulled it off, Elvis." (My sisters and I are convinced that he really says 'there's only one man who can fakes his own death, Elvis' and that's much more fun to say.) Mulder: "Do you believe in an afterlife Scully?" Scully: "I'd settle for a life in this one." Mulder: "Have you ever seen the Liberty Bell?" Scully: "Yes." Mulder: "You know, I’ve been to Philadelphia a hundred times and I’ve never seen it." Scully: "You’re not missing much. It’s a big bell with a big crack and you have to wait in a long line." Mulder: "I’d really like to go." Scully: "Why now?" Mulder: "I don’t know. How late do you think they stay open?" (I've seen the Liberty Bell - and I'm with Scully, big bell, big crack.) |
| Ice Mulder: "Put it down!" Scully: "You put it down first!" Mulder: "Scully, for God's sake, it's me." Scully: "Mulder, you may not be who you are." (A true test in their relationship.) |
| Space Scully: "Yeah it ranks right up there with getting a pony and learning to braid my own hair. |
| Fallen Angel Mulder: "Enigmatic Dr. Scully." (That word enigmatic has become the descriptive word associated with Scully.) |
| Eve Mulder: "What's a girl?" |
| Beyond The Sea Mulder: "How are you, Dana?" (It's the first time that he calls her Dana!) |
| E.B.E Scully: "I don't know how you could think that what they say is even remotely plausible." Mulder: "I thnk it's remotely plausible that someone might think you're hot." (He thinks she's hot!) |
| Tooms Scully: "Fox." Mulder: "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 icetea in that bag, it could be love." Scully: "Must be fate, Mulder, rootbear." (Not only is it the first time that she calls him Fox but what if there was an icetea in that bag?) |
| The Erlenmeyer Flask Deep Throat: "Trust no one." (Sad season finale, I liked Deep Throat. Famous X-File last words!) |
| The X-Files and its affiliated characters belong to Chris Carter, 1013 Productions, and the Fox Network. |
| OVERVIEW: Great initial conversations take place during the first season. You really learn a lot about the characters. I applaud both characters for their charm and wit this season. |
