Shadows

AGENT: If any inquiries to this meeting are made, I request full denial.
MULDER: I say you people already suffer from full denial.

SCULLY: You lied, you have seen it before. I can tell, you lied to them.
MULDER: I would never lie. I willingly participated in a campaign of misinformation.

SCULLY: How could an esophagus be crushed from the inside, without the neck ever being touched?
MULDER: Psychokinetic manipulation...
SCULLY: Psychokinesis? You mean how Carrie even got to the prom?

SCULLY: Ok, I'm intrigued. How can we investigate, we have nothing to go on.

SCULLY: Have you seen either of these two men before?
LAUREN: (immediately) No.
SCULLY: Take your time.
LAUREN: I'm sorry. I've never seen them before.

MULDER: What if it's possible somehow to raise a body's electrostatic charge to levels we've been seeing and use that energy to affect objects?
SCULLY: If a person could generate that much energy, their body would break down. They'd start glowing like those lights.
MULDER: Well there's evidence of this all through the X-Files. Furniture moving untouched, objects levitating, unexplained electrical discharges. Frequently people who have psychokinetic power are unaware of their own capability.
SCULLY: Are you saying Lauren Kyte crashed our car?
MULDER: Either that or a poltergeist.
SCULLY: They're heeeere...

SCULLY: Hi.
MULDER: Hi. Did the paramedics check you out?
SCULLY: Yeah, I'm fine, but I do have a standing-in-the-line-of-the-DMV size headache...
MULDER: Mine is IRS size.

SCULLY: I think Howard Graves fabricated his own death.
MULDER: You know how difficult it is to fake your own death? Only one person has pulled it off. Elvis.

MULDER: Boy, is she in a rush to get out of here...
SCULLY: Out of here, or away from the ghost of Howard Graves?

MULDER: You don't see too many bosses graves without people dancing on it.

MULDER: Have you seen the Liberty Bell?
SCULLY: Yes...
MULDER: You know, I've been to Pennsylvania a hundred times, and I've never seen it.
SCULLY: You're not missing much... It's a big bell, with a big crack and you have to wait in a long line...
MULDER: I'd really like to see it...
SCULLY: Why now?
MULDER: I don't know. How late you think they'd stay open?

MULDER: What are you doing, Scully? You don't believe.
SCULLY: Mulder, there's no such thing as ghosts or psychokinesis. I'm sure there's an explanation. But I believe that she believes. And my priority is to get to her help us stop Dorland.
MULDER: Well, we may have just sacrificed our best opportunity to observe spectral phenomena.
SCULLY: I'm giving us a chance to solve a case that's tangible instead of chasing after shadows.
