THE JERSEY DEVIL
1x04

Original airdate: October 8, 1993



Scully: Working hard, Mulder?

Mulder: (indicating to centerfold) This woman claims to have been taken aboard a space ship and held in an anti-gravity chamber without food and water for three days.

Scully: (Looking sideways at magazine) Antigravity's right. Sorry to interrupt your serious investigation. But I just heard a story that'd just take your knees out.

Mulder: What's that?

Scully: They found a body in the New Jersey woods yesterday, missing its right arm and shoulder. They think they may have been eaten off . . . by a human.

Mulder: Where in New Jersey?

Scully: Just outside Atlantic City.

Mulder: Not an uncommon place to loose a body part.



Mulder: You feeling lucky, Scully?

Scully: Relative to whom?



Scully: Mulder, it's the same story I've heard since I was a kid. It's a folk tale, a myth.

Mulder: I heard the same story when I was a kid too, funny thing is, I believed it.



Mulder: So what's eating that guy?



Mulder: Hey, what do you say we grab a hotel, take in a floor show, drop a few quarters in the slots, do a little digging on this case.

Scully: You're kidding right?

Mulder: Okay, we can skip the floor show.

Scully: Mulder, I have to be back in DC.

Mulder: You got a date?

Scully: No. I have my godson's birthday party at 6:30.

Ellen: What about that guy you work with?

Scully: Mulder?

Ellen: I thought you said he was cute.

Scully: He's a jerk. He's not a jerk, he's um . . . obsessed with his work.



Mulder: Where're you sleeping tonight?

Jack: You're standing in my bedroom. (they're in an alleyway)

Mulder: You know the, The Galaxy Gateway? (Mulder gives Jack his room key) Room 756. Go ahead.

Jack: Hey, they got HBO?

Mulder: (laughs) Yeah, they do.



Scully: Where are you?

Mulder: Not far from where you left me.

Scully: You're still in Atlantic City?

Mulder: Scully, you got anything happening this morning?"

Scully: What's that noise in the background?

Mulder: That's a guy getting sick.

Scully: Mulder, where are you? . . . The drunk tank?



(Scully picks Mulder up from the drunk tank in New Jersey.)

Scully: Well it's not hard to see why they mistook you for a vagrant.

Mulder: Are you going to rag on me, or are you going to take me to get something to eat?

Scully: Am I buying or did you manage to panhandle some spare change while you were at it?



Scully: Well I have to get back to Washington by 7:30, so, um . . .

Mulder: Got another birthday party?

Scully: No. I have a date.

Mulder: Can you cancel?

Scully: Unlike you Mulder, I would like to have a life.

Mulder: I have a life!



Ranger Peter Boulay: Hi, I found a body out in the woods today, it looks like it's been dead about six to eight months. A long haired male, missing the same tooth I found in that rabbit a while back. It could be your devil.

Mulder: Where's the body now?

Boulay: I turned it over to the coroner's office.

Mulder: You're sure it was a male?

Boulay: Well, it had all the plumbing.



Mulder: You should have seen her. She was beautiful.

Scully: Yeah well she just about ripped your lungs out.



Mulder: Who was that on the phone?

Scully: A guy.

Mulder: A guy. Same guy as the guy you had dinner with the other night?

Scully: Same guy.

Mulder: You going to have dinner with him again?

Scully: I don't think so.

Mulder: No interest?

Scully: Not at this time.

Mulder: (Walking to the door) What are you doing?

Scully: Going with you to the Smithsonian.

Mulder: Don't you have a life, Scully?

Scully: Keep that up, Mulder, and I'll hurt you like that beast woman.

(Scully stops at the door, her hand on the handle)

Mulder: Eight million years out of Africa . . .

Scully: (Holding door open for him) And look who's holding the door.
