Let's hear it for those Michigan trees! ;)

Mulder: Hey Scully, is this demonstration of boyish agility turning you on at all?



Scully: 12 pounds, 9 ounces.

Mulder: All that came out of his stomach?

Scully: Most of it. A small amount in his lungs is what killed him.

Mulder: Is it possible that he took the term 'mud pie' literally?

Scully: Well, I'm sure if Mr. Rich were alive he would find some humor in that.



Scully: There is some indication that his stepson may have dug a hole, and that a recent rainstorm may have helped it turn into a muddy trap.

Mulder: Some rainstorm!

Scully: They say it rained 400 inches a day.

Mulder: Now that sounds like an exaggeration, don't you think?

Scully: Would you like me to show you how he may have done it?

Mulder: How a 6'4" 250 pound man was buried alive in less than five minutes by a 16 year old kid whose classmates lovingly refer to as dorkweed?

(You can tell he originally said 'dickweed' but it was edited out)



Mulder: Ich Bin Ein Auslander. I am an outsider. You know when Kennedy told the Germans 'Ich Bin Ein Berliner' he was actually saying 'I am a cocktail sausage'?

Bobby: Who's Kennedy?



Mulder: Kid says his stepfather teed off on him regularly.

Scully: Is that his excuse?

Mulder: No, that's his explanation.

Scully: What do you think?

Mulder: I think he's a hard kid to love.



Scully: Well, when you fight for air a vacuum is created. And maybe once he sucked down a mouthful of mud it turns his esophagus into a siphon. And with his head pushed down in filled all his passages up like a gas can. (Mulder laughs) Well, you asked for answers, it's the best one I got.



Scully: He's been in therapy for his anger since 1995.

Mulder: That could have been me.



Mulder: In what ways?

Shrink: By breaking the cycle of abuse. By owning it, by confronting it and by standing up against it.

Mulder: Seems to be working.



Mulder: (Holding up baggie) Scully?

Bobby: What is that?

Mulder: (Noting print across top with finger) Evidence.



Scully: Mulder, where's the body?



Mulder: I don't think this was an act of grave robbing, Scully.

Scully: No, that's what we were doing.



Mulder: Implying a connection.

Scully: I'm a little afraid to ask what kind of connection.



Mulder: You're not an outsider anymore, huh?

Bobby: Yeah, I'm thinking about runnin' for ASP president.



Mulder: Talk about putting down roots!
