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!
