Scully: (referring to decapitated head) It blinked at me.

Mulder: Blinked or winked?



Mulder: (Looking in morgue freezer) Pretty cozy. Who'd ever want to leave?

Scully: Well, whoever happened to get locked in here last night, I guess.

Mulder: That would be a Mr. Leonard Morris Betts, age 34. But it should probably be noted that when Mr. Betts arrived here last night he was sans head.



Scully: What about the morgue attendant?

Mulder: Somebody cold-cocked him and stole his clothes.



Scully: What are we doing here?

Mulder: Did I mention that Mr. Betts had no head?

Scully: Yes, so? I mean, you're not suggesting that a headless body kicked his way out of a locked morgue freezer, are you?



Mulder: Yeah, but why take a headless one and leave one of those top-dollar bodies behind?



Mulder: (Gooeying through the waste) Ooh, I think I got the toy surprise.

Scully: Leonard Betts.

Mulder: That's his head, but where's his body?



Mulder: I wanna see how he lives.

Scully: Lived.

Mulder: Lived.



Mulder: (Looking at the mess) Made himself at home. Maybe he was home.

Scully: (Unbelieving) Leonard Betts.

Mulder: Yeah.

Scully: Without his head.

Mulder: (Sounding ooked) Yeah?



Scully: The remains are dipped in the epoxy and once it's cured the specimen can be sliced for analysis.

Mulder: Or you got yourself a nice paperweight.



Scully: (Looking at Bett's brain section) What are you seeing?

Mulder: Let's get a slice to go.



Mulder: Chuck, would you believe that this man's head had been decapitated?

Chuck: Aw, man! No way!

Mulder: Way!



(Picking up Leonard Betts' finger)

Mulder: Siskel or Ebert?



Mulder: On the other hand, how evolved can a man be who drives a Dodge Dart?



Scully: (Contemplating the biopsies) So you're saying that this is . . .

Mulder: Snack food.



Mulder: Do you think mom knows her dead son is tooling around in her car?



Scully: Well, whatever he was doing, he's taking the secret to his grave.

Mulder: Yeah, for the second time.



Mulder: (Contemplating bodies in coffin and on the table) Will the real Leonard Betts please stand up!
