SCULLY: Mulder, if you're still suggesting that the elephant did this, it just defies logic. Somebody would have seen it. MULDER: Well if somebody would have seen it, Scully, we wouldn't be here. MULDER: I'd be willing to admit the possibility of a tornado, but it's not really tornado season. I'd even be willing to entertain the notion of a black hole passing over the area or some cosmic anomaly but it's not really black hole season either. If I were a betting man, I'd say it was ... SCULLY: An invisible elephant? MULDER: I saw David Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear once. SCULLY: And you consider that inhumane treatment? KYLE LANG: It's like you or I living in a pickle barrel. KYLE: All animals should run free... SCULLY:M Even if that means trampling a man to death? KYLE: Maybe he should have gotten out of the way. MULDER: I'm sure he would have if he had seen it coming. (MULDER is speaking to the LONE GUNMEN via satellite) FROHIKE: Beam me up, Scotty. MULDER: Anybody ever tell you the camera loves you, Frohike? FROHIKE: Yeah, the arresting officers at the "Free James Brown" rally. BYERS: So what's this costing the tax payers, Mulder? MULDER: About a hundred fifty bucks an hour. FROHIKE: Ouch! Almost as much as Bill Clinton's haircuts. MULDER: Where's Langly? BYERS: He had a philisophical issue with bouncing his image off a satellite. FROHIKE: If that's the lovely Agent Scully, let her know I've been working out. I'm buff! WILLA AMBROSE: Aliens impregnating zoo animals? MULDER: Yes, and harvesting embryos. WILLA: Why? MULDER: Maybe their own Noah's ark. To preserve the DNA of these animals that we're depleting to extinction. Whatever it is, that's probably the reason why you've never had a successful birth at this facility. WILLA: I think that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. MULDER: I understand that you might think it was ridiculous, and maybe you should ask Sophie. (the gorilla) MULDER: (voiceover) Willa Ambrose and Ed Meecham have been charged with manslaughter for the death of Kyle Lang. But though the courts will rule on this matter and justice will no doubt be served, the pall of a greater tragedy remains. The motives of the silent visitors who set these events in motion remain unclear. Could this be a judgement on a global rate of extinction that incurs to over 1000 times its natural rate in this century? Knack of alien conservation of animals we are driving hard toward oblivion? And if so, might it follow, that our own fate could finally be determined by the conservatorship of an extraterrestrial race? More, in the simple words of a creature whose own future is uncertain, will man save man?
