Quotes 

• [Mulder and Scully have just asked two teens if they saw a flying saucer] 

  Scully : Mulder, did you see their eyes? If I were that stoned...

  Mulder : Ooh! If you were that stoned, what?

  Scully : Mulder, you could've shown that kid a picture of a flying hamburger and he would've told that's *exactly* what he saw.

• Mulder : You saw exactly what I saw in the sky tonight. What do you think they were?

  Scully : Just because I can't explain it, doesn't mean I'm gonna believe they were UFOs.

  Mulder : Unidentified Flying Objects, I think that fits the description pretty well. Tell me I'm crazy.

  Scully : Mulder, you're crazy.

• Deep Throat : Mr. Mulder, why are those like yourself who believe in the existence of extra-terrestrial life on this earth not dissuaded by all the evidence to the contrary?

  Mulder : Because, all the evidence to the contrary is not entirely dissuasive.

  Deep Throat : Precisely!

  Mulder : They're here, aren't they?

  Deep Throat : Mr. Mulder, *they*'ve been here for a long, long time.

• Zoe : [about a picture of a UFO, which she claims took herself]  I'm selling limited edition prints, twenty dollars. Down to my last five, if you're interested.

  Mulder : Put it on my tab.

  Scully : [Leans over to Mulder]  Sucker.

  Mulder : What would the chances be of someone like me, seeing a UFO?

  Scully : Catch ye outside.

  [Outside the diner, Scully is looking at a map, Mulder comes out] 

  Scully : Wanna see something weird, Mulder? Ellens Air Base isn't even on my US GS quadrant map.

  Mulder : I know. Let's go.

  Scully : You know. Where are we going?

  Mulder : We got our own map, sucker.

  [He gives her a piece of paper with a roughly drawn map on it] 

• Scully : Did you ever stop to think that what we saw was simply an experimental plane? Like the stealth bomber or this Aurora Project? Doesn't the government have a right and a responsibility to protect it's secrets?

  Mulder : Yes, but at what cost? When does the human cost become too high for the building of a better machine?

• Scully : I don't get it Mulder. Does this have something to do with an X-File? I thought you only liked those paranormal type cases. Am I missing something here?

  Mulder : Let's just say, this case has a distinct smell to it, a certain... paranormal bouquet.

• Mulder : I think there's a huge conspiracy here Scully. They've got a UFO here, I'm sure of it. And they'll do anything to keep it a secret, including sacrificing lives and minds of those pilots, because what if that secret got out.

  Scully : If that were true, it would be a national scandal.

  Mulder : No no, you're not thinking big enough, if it were true, it would be confirmation of the existence of extraterrestrial life.

• Mulder : I did see something, but it's gone, they took it from me, they erased it.

• Man in Black : [as Mulder and Scully are approaching the military base, two cars turn and stop sideways, blocking the road in front and behind them. Groups of men wearing suits get out of both cars. One man approaches Mulder's side of the car and knocks on the window]  Please, step out of the car.

  Mulder : [to Scully]  You think if maybe we ignore him, he'll go away?

  Man in Black : [Knocks on the window again]  Please, step out of the car!

  Mulder : Guess not.

• Mulder : I think they re-wired that man's brain. Some kind of selective memory drain.

  Scully : The brain doesn't work like that, Mulder. You can't just go in and erase certain files.

• Mulder : This is not amnesia! I think it's something far more deliberate and insidious!
