SCULLY: Mulder, since we've been here, you've acted as if you've expected to find every piece of evidence that we've come across. What aren't you telling me? Why are we here?
MULDER: A true piece of history, Scully. The very first X-file, initiated by J. Edgar Hoover himself in 1946. During World War II, a series of murders occurred in and around the northwest, seven here in Browning alone. Each victim was basically ripped to shreds and eaten, as if by a wild animal. However, many of the victims were found at home, as if they allowed their killer to enter. In 1946, police cornered what they believed to be such an animal in a cabin in Glacier National Park. They shot it, but when they went in to retrieve the carcass, they found only the body of Richard Watkins.

MULDER: How can you just dismiss the evidence - the tracks in the mud, the shredded skin, a man with the teeth of an animal?
SCULLY: Mulder, even if you're right and Joe Goodensnake did somehow have the ability to transform physically into an animal, he's dead. Jim Parker shot him and in a couple of moments, his body will be burned. End of mystery.

ISH: Go home, FBI.
MULDER: How did you know?
ISH: I could smell you a mile a way.
MULDER: Well, they told me that even though my deodorant is made for a woman, it's strong enough for a man.

MULDER: I want to believe.

LYLE: Things are born, things die, everything else falls in between.

ISH: You even have an Indian name, Fox. You should be Running Fox, or Sneaky Fox.
MULDER: Just as long as it's not Spooky Fox.

ISH: FBI! See you in about 8 years. MULDER: I hope not.
