Linda Bowman: Why wait when it's true love. You never know how long you have.
Mulder: No, you don't.
Scully: (appearing as Linda Bowman) She wants you to shoot me. She knows you'll never forgive yourself.
Orderly 1: Cop killer. General People killer. General all around waste of skin.
Orderly 2: So, what are you scared of? Guy's a freakin' vegetable. What's he gonna do, run over you with his big plastic wheel?
Orderly 1: What the hell happened, Chuck? Where's Modell?
Orderly 2: He had to go.
Marshall: So what's adequate backup?
Mulder: Adequate backup? Every cop you can lay your hands on.
Mulder: Heh, he's a VERY considerate man.
Mulder: Yeah?
Modell: Two words - I'm . . . Alive.
Mulder: I don't feel like playing your game right now, Modell.
Modell: Touchy? Look Mulder, there's something I need you to hear.
Mulder: Tell it to me in person, Modell.
Modell: No, seriously. Listen to me.
Mulder: No, you listen to me. Either you come back here on your own or I'll drag your sorry ass back on the bumper of my car.
Modell: When did you become Clint Eastwood?
Skinner: Where is he? Where's Modell.
Clerk: He had to go.
Mulder: (Reacting to the "Cerulean" scene) I'm going to take a wild stab here and guess . . . (motioning to the entire scene) THIS . . . is a clue.
Detective: Kitsunegari . . . Fox Hunt.
Scully: Fox Mulder.
Mulder: Well, that's a little on the nose, don't you think?
Modell: Dead ahead. Straight in front of you.
(Cop still is looking around)
Modell: Buddy, I'm straight in front of you. Whadda you want me to do, draw you a map?
Scully: Mulder, what happened?
Mulder: He had to go.
Scully: How are you feeling?
Mulder: Oh, aside from the utter grinding humiliation that comes from knowing I let our suspect go, pretty good.
Scully: It could have happened to anyone, Mulder.
Linda Bowman: (SNIP) . . . brush with greatness . . . (SNIP) . . . I don't want to paint him as that.
Mulder: He was . . . true blue.
Skinner: You're suspended until such time I'm confident your judgment is sound. Give me your weapon.
Mulder: Who are you afraid I'm going to point it at?
(Linda pops out, asking for water, pissing Mulder off)
Mulder: I'll prove it.
Skinner: Agent Mulder?
Mulder: Go fetch her some water!
Skinner: On the floor, Modell!
Modell: Hey, it's Mel Coolie.
Mulder: Okay, look. You do me a favor, Scully. You give me a call when you think I've come to my senses, all right?
Skinner: You've won her game.
Mulder: Then how come I feel like I lost?
