(Little dog is squealing in the backseat.) Scully: Nature's calling, I think we should pull over soon. Mulder: Did you really have to bring that thing? Scully:(Pause)You wake me up on a Saturday morning, tell me to be ready in five minutes, my mother's out of town, all of the dog sitters are booked and you know how I feel about cows. So, unless you want to lose your security deposit on the car, I suggest you pull over. Scully: So you think a serial killer is at large? Mulder: The operative word being large! Scully: What are you leaving out? Mulder: What makes you think I'm leaving anything out? (They drive by a big billboard with a picture of a big blue prehistoric sea creature. The sign says: "Come and visit Big Blue.") Scully: You can't be serious. Scully: Mulder, the creature is just a folktale! Mulder: How many folktales do you know that could eat a boy scout leader and a biologist? (They are looking at a half eaten dead body) Scully: His fly's undone. Mulder: Are you insinuating something? Scully: We eat fish and fish eat us. Mulder: Are fish also known for eating half and saving half for later? Mulder: Yeah but you got 2 or 3 in as many weeks. I'd say you're a little outside of your bell curve sheriff. Mulder: Oh is that the psychological approach to crime solving? He's too embarrassed. Scully: Regardless of what 'I' believe, there's no hard evidence that it's what 'you' believe. Scully: 15 years of fruitless hunting and the only thing the guy comes up with is a blurry picture of the monster's tooth. Scully: Queequeg! Mulder: I'm sorry about Queequeg. Scully: Could you please repeat the last part again? I kinda faded out. Mulder: Which... which part? Scully: After you said I'm sorry? Mulder: I know the difference between expectation and hope. Seek and ye shall find Scully. Scully: You know, on the mariner's maps the cartographers would designate uncharted territories by writing "Here be Monsters". Mulder: I got a map of N.Y. City just like that. Mulder: Yeah you know living in the City you forget that night is actually... so uh ... dark. Scully: Living in the City you forget a lot of things. You know, there, you're always thinking about being mugged or hit by a car. It's not until you get back to nature that you realize that everything is out to get you. That's why my father always taught me to respect nature 'cause it has no respect for you. Mulder: That was him Scully! That was Big Blue. Scully: So what if it was?! Mulder: You don't think my reasons are legitimate? Scully: Mulder sometimes I just can't figure them out. Scully: Moby Dick is my favorite book. Scully: You know, something just occured to me. Mulder: What? Scully: How much you're like Ahab. You're so consumed by your personal vengeance against life whether it be its inherent cruelties or its mysteries that everything takes on a ... a warped significance to fit your megalomaniacal cosmology. Mulder: Scully are you coming on to me? Scully: What was that? Mulder: I don't know, but it ain't no duck! Scully: Walking back? Farraday: Yeah the shore is just a stone's throw away. Mulder: I guess I just wanted Big Blue to be real. I guess I see hope in such a possibility. Scully: Well, there's still hope. That's why these myths and stories have endured. ...... People want to believe. Mulder: That could be something... Scully: A tooth?
