X Files, The (1998)

Cigarette Smoking Man: Everybody down below. We may have a security breach. If you're not armed, arm yourselves.

Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil: And why do you think you're here talking to me today? These people don't make mistakes!

Dr. Ben Bronschweig: So much for little green men.

Strughold: He is but one man. One man alone cannot fight the future.

[After shooting the driver in the head.] Well-Manicured Man: Get out of the car. Fox Mulder: [expecting to be next] Why? The upholstery is already ruined.

Well-Manicured Man: Your aliens, Agent Mulder, your little green men arrived here millions of years ago.

Well-Manicured Man: Trust no one, Mr. Mulder.

Mulder: Maybe we should call in a bomb threat to Houston. I think it's free beer night at the Astrodome.

Mulder: After all you've seen you can just walk away? Scully: I have. I did. It's done.

Mulder: Five years together Scully, how many times I been wrong? Never. Not driving, anyway.

Mulder: How many times have we been here before? So close to the truth.

[On the phone.] Bronschweig: It's Bronschweig. Sir, the impossible scenario we never planned for? Well, we better come up with a plan.

Mulder: You told me you had answers! Kurzweil: Yes, but I don't have them all.

Scully: Are you drunk, Mulder? Mulder: I was until about 20 minutes ago. Agent Dana Scully: Was that before or after you decided to come here?

Mulder: I owe you everything, and Scully, you owe me nothing.

Agent Dana Scully: Any ideas as to why someone would be growing corn in the middle of the desert? Fox Mulder: Not unless those are great big Jiffy-Pop poppers.

Mulder: You know, one is the loneliest number.

[Scully is slow to realize a countdown timer signifies a bomb.] Mulder: Thirteen fifty-four. Thirteen fifty-two. Thirteen fifty. You see a pattern emerging here Scully?

Scully: I need this building evacuated and cleared out in ten minutes. I need you to get on the phone and tell the fire department to block off the city center in a one mile radius around the building. DON'T THINK! JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Well-Manicured Man: Survival is the ultimate ideology.

Scully: Here I am in the middle of nowhere, Texas, chasing phantom tanker trucks.

Scully: Mulder I can't tell you what killed this man. I'm not sure if anybody else can, either.

Mulder: If I quit now, they win.

Skinner: Agent Mulder, you and I both know that if it looks bad, it's bad for the FBI. Blame has to be assigned somewhere.

Dana Scully: I saw your face Mulder. There was a definite moment of panic. Fox Mulder: You've never seen me panic. When I panic, I make this face. [remains impassive]
