GHOST IN THE MACHINE
1x06

Original airdate: October 29, 1993



Scully: So, why did you two go your separate ways?

Mulder: I'm a pain in the ass to work with.

Scully: No, seriously.

Mulder: You mean I'm not a pain in the ass to work with?



Mulder: We had different career goals. Jerry wanted the fifth floor.

Scully: And you?

Mulder: I was gunning for a basement office with no heat or windows.



Scully: Must be for the visually impaired.

Mulder: How do you like that? A politically correct elevator.



Mulder: Maybe Drake was talking to someone before he was doing his Ben Franklin impersonation.



Scully: It's past three.

Mulder: I'm just looking for my profile notes.

Scully: Maybe if you cleaned your desk more than once a year.

Mulder: They were right here. I'm telling you.



(after Jerry reports on the case using Mulder's profile notes)

Mulder: Brad Wilczek?

Scully: He said it would be a short list. And it's headline news how much this guy despised Drake.

Mulder: That just seems too obvious. To kill Drake would be so brazenly egomaniacal.

Scully: And fully consistent with Jerry's excellent behavioral profile.

Mulder: Fully.



Scully: How can we get in?

Mulder: You remember the Trojan Horse?

(He reaches in the trunk and pulls out VA license plate EURISKO - they pull up and the mechanical gate scans the plate and lets them in)

Mulder: (grinning) Open, Sesame!



Mulder: 28 down, one to go. (Lights go out)

Scully: Oh, great. Mulder?

(Long pause - Mulder shines a flashlight at Scully.)

Mulder: Trick or treat.



Peterson: Not bad, Agent Mulder. You know, I've been trying to access the CPU for the past two years. Now please, take out your gun and remove the clip. Careful.

Mulder: Defense Department?

Peterson: Lets just say our paychecks are signed by the same person.
