Scully: The lights the driver saw may have been swamp gas.

Mulder: Swamp Gas?

Scully: It's a natural phenomenon in which phosphene and methane rising from decaying organic matter ignite, creating globes of blue flame.

Mulder: Happens to me when I eat Dodger Dogs.



Scully: I mean after all, the road can play tricks on you.

Mulder: Yeah, it can play tricks on you, but not like this.



(Talking about the LG)

Mulder: Some of their ideas are downright spooky.



Byers: Vladmir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Russian Social Democrats? He's being put into power by the most heinous and evil force of the 20th century.

Mulder: Barney?

Byers: The C.I.A.

Scully: Hmm.

Byers: Is this your skeptical partner?

Frohike: She's hot.



Frohike: She *is* hot.

Mulder: Settle down Frohike.



Byers: That's why we like you, Mulder. Your ideas are weirder than ours.

Scully: Those were the most paranoid people I have ever met. I don't know how you could think that what they say is even remotely plausible.

Mulder: I think it's remotely plausible that someone might think you're hot.

Scully: Mulder, you're the only one I trust.

Scully: I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you. It's so intense that sometimes it's blinding. But there are others who are watching you, who know what I know and whereas I can respect and admire your passion, they will use it against you. Mulder, the truth is out there but so are lies.



Deep Throat: Why didn't you leave for Fort Benning?

Mulder: The photograph was a fake. (he doesn't respond) At least you're not insulting me further by feigning appalled surprise.



Deep Throat: And a lie, Mr. Mulder, is most convincingly hidden between two truths.



Mulder: Called every weigh station and bureau office west of Colorado. Tied up an airphone for three hours. I don't speak Japanese, but I think some businessman told me to stick a piece of sushi where the sun don't shine.



Deep Throat: You're awfully quiet, Mr. Mulder.

Mulder: I'm trying to decide which lie to believe.
