* Mulder: didn't even have the decency to put it in the right recycling bin.
FBI: Mulder, right? i thought you did the spooky cases. why are you joking around?

* Scully (on the phone): okay. i understand.
Mulder: is it your mother?

Scully: that explains so much. Chris Carter thanks you.

* Mulder: i'm here. wanna play World of Warcraft? i'm a dark wizard.

* Scully: Mulder, i know you're the brooding big-question beefcake, but all i want right now are answers to the small questions.
Mulder: like what's your favorite color. what is your favorite color, Scully?
Scully: pepperoni.
Mulder: oh................i had some other questions for you but nevermind.

* Scully: why did you estrange yourself from the family?
estranged brother: i was the only human one. all you guys had been anally probed, i felt left out.

* councilwoman: but why are you going after me? i was trying to help you folk. i just want my daughter to be safe.
Trashman: sorry but i really love "Downtown", hits me right in the nostalgia. art is pain.

* Scully falls cryingly into Mulder's chest.

* Tim Armstrong: okay so it's my golem. in my defense, i'm a pretty good artist, right?
Mulder: i'm more Nirvana.
Tim Armstrong: that's a dirty word in our household. we say enlightenment.

* Scully: Trashman is your responsibility, he's your psychopath child.
Tim Armstrong: in my defense, the garbage trucks run on time.

* Mulder: this guy is a robotic murderer.
Tim Armstrong: in my defense, he's an avenging angel.
Mulder: yeah, i suppose. okay, i guess we'll drop it. file this under case closed. or something. i gotta go to the beach with my ginger lady.

* Scully: above all, Fox, i hope we didn't treat William like trash.
Mulder: not the right time i know, but would you mind doing a paternity test?
