1x00

Original airdate: September 10, 1993



Scully: . . . He had a nickname at the academy: "Spooky" Mulder.



Scully: Am I to understand you want me to debunk the X-files project, sir?



Mulder: Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted.



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 alot about you.

Mulder: Oh, really? I was under the impression . . . that you were sent to spy on me.



Mulder: . . . now there's a credential: rewriting Einstein.

Scully: Did you bother to read it?

Mulder: I did. I liked it. It's just that in most of my work, the laws of physics rarely seems to apply.



Scully: Do you have a theory?

Mulder: I have plenty of theories.



Mulder: Do you believe in the existence of *extraterrestrials*?



Scully: The answers are there you just have to know where to look for them.

Mulder: That's why they put the "I" in FBI.



Mulder: Yeah, our boys came out here, enjoyed the local salmon, which with a little lemon twist is to die for . . . if you'll pardon the expression.



Mulder: I arranged to have the body exhumed. You aren't squeamish about that sort of thing, are you Scully?

Scully: I don't know, I've never had the pleasure.



Mulder: Guy obviously needed a longer vacation.



John Truitt: This isn't official procedure.

Mulder: Really?



Scully: Who is it?

Mulder: Steven Spielberg. Way too wired. Going for a jog. Wanna join me?

Scully: Pass.

Mulder: Figure out what that little thing in Ray Soames' nose is yet?



Mulder: What's his name, er . . . Billy said he was sorry he didn't get to say goodbye.

Scully: How did you know that girl was going to have the marks?

Mulder: I don't know, lucky guess?



Mulder: We lost nine minutes!

Scully: We lost *WHAT*?



Scully: You're saying that time disappeared. Time can't just disappear, it's a universal invariant! (Dead car starts.)

Mulder: Not in this zip code.



Mulder: The only reason I've been allowed to continue with my work is because I've made connections in congress.

Scully: And they're afraid of what? That, that you'll leak this information?

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.



Mulder: You gotta love this place, every day's like Halloween.



Blevins: Agent Mulder - what are his thoughts?

Scully: Agent Mulder, believes we are not alone.
