Original airdate: April 6, 1997



Scully: Says here in the police report that they'd been seen arguing earlier that evening. But Jason Nichols has refused to tell police about what.

Mulder: Hmm, sounds like a motive doesn't it?



Mulder: Gave a rather detailed description of the old man.

Scully: What was he wearing, a long black robe and carrying a scythe?



Mortician: Whether to cut or to saw.



Scully: Hypothermic? Mulder, this man is an icicle.



Mulder: So what's your . . . medical opinion, Scully?

Scully: Well, my best guess would be that he's been exposed to some kind of chemical refrigerant like liquid nitrogen. Possibly even ingested it.

Mulder: Well, you see what happens when you drink and drive?



Scully: What if it can't?(Support Nichols' alibi)

Mulder: Lets just hope he (cop) keeps until thanksgiving.



Mulder: We have people out there looking for him.

Nichols: Who? Campus police?



Mulder: The security officer who's now in the morgue has a body temperature a little south of Frosty the Snowman.



Scully: I think the old man in this story is gonna be Jason Nichols serving 25 to life in a federal prison.



Mulder: The ice man cometh.



Scully: And a . .. uh, a Dr. Yanichi was also found frozen to death.

Yanelli: What?

Mulder: In his heated hotel room.



Mulder: Well, if he's already dead he's got nothing to lose.



Mulder: I think the real question is how somebody could have had access to a compound that doesn't exist.



Mulder: The hotel manager says he's been living here for 5 days.

Scully: I'm not sure if living is the word I'd use on this place.



Mulder: Of something that never happened (picture).

Scully: What? Mulder, this is a photograph. It is a documented moment in time.

Mulder: In a future that somebody's trying like hell to prevent.



Scully: So this photo that was never taken, when was it never taken?



Mulder: Although common sense may rule out the possibility of time travel, the laws of quantum physics certainly do not. In case you forgot, that's from your graduate thesis. You were a lot more open-minded when you were a youngster.



Mulder: Puts a whole new spin on being your own worst enemy, huh?



Old Nichols: It's better that we never were.



Scully: Yeah, and if your sister is your aunt and your mother marries your uncle, you're your own grandpa.

Thanks Amber!
