These are quotes from Season 5.
"The cruelest ironies are
those consecrated by the passage of time, chanced and occasioned by shocking
discovery. I had joined Agent Mulder on the X-Files because of my background
in the medical sciences. My assignment was to question his work, to debunk
his investigations, and to reign him back into the FBI mainstream. Now,
as fate would have it, I am calling on these very same skills to prove
that he has been the target of a scheme orchestrated by someone close to
us in the FBI. Someone we have trusted above all others, involved in a
highly organized plot to keep a dangerous secret from the light of day."
--Redux
"I have few short hours to
conduct these tests before I must appear before an FBI panel to explain
myself. And as I am ready to lie to them about Agent Mulder, I am also
ready to confront them with proof--proof extracted from this tiny organism--that
could blow open a conspiracy of global consequence."--Redux
"If my work with Agent Mulder
has tested the foundation of my beliefs, science has been and continues
to be my guiding light. Now I'm again relying on its familiar and systematic
methods to arrive at a truth, a fact that might explain the fate that has
befallen me. An investigation that began without, now turning within."--Redux
"If science serves me to
these ends, it is not lost on me that the tool with which I've come to
depend on absolutely cannot save or protect me, but only bring into focus
the darkness that lies ahead."--Redux
"That would mean that for
four years we've been nothing more than pawns in a game...that it was a
lie from the beginning."--Redux
"Mulder, these men....You
give them your faith, and you're supposed to trust them with your life."--Redux
"It's got to happen. Everything
in my life depends upon it."--Redux
"All lies lead to the truth.
Isn't that right?"--Redux
"What I have here is proof
undeniable that the men who gave me this disease were also behind the hoax.
A plot designed to lead to Agent Mulder's demise and to my own, planned
and executed by someone in this room. What I have here is scientific evidence."--Redux
"Mulder, if I can save you,
let me. Let me give at least some meaning to what's happened to me."--Redux
II
"I think that everybody here
has their heart in the right place, but I need it to be *my* decision."--Redux
II
"Have you ever witnessed
a miracle, Dr. Zuckerman?"--Redux II
"I fight, and I fight, and
I fight...but I've been so stupid."--Redux II
"I've come so far in life
on simple faith, and now when I need it the most, I just push it away."--Redux
II
"I must remind you that this
goes against the Bureau's policy of male and female agents consorting in
the same hotel room while on assignment."--Detour
"Mulder, we're in Western
Florida. The closest thing to primitive down here is living in a beachfront
retirement condo."--Detour
"I identified with Betty's
bustline."--Detour
"You know, Mulder, sometimes
I think some work on your communication skills wouldn't be such a bad idea."--Detour
"What would that be filed
next to? The cockroach that ate Cincinnati?"--Detour
"Maybe if it rains sleeping
bags, you'll get lucky."--Detour
"When I was fighting my cancer,
I was angry at the injustice of it and its meaninglessness, and then I
realized that that was the struggle--to give it meaning; to make sense
of it."--Detour
"There has to be a scientific
explanation for this."--Detour "Is there anything that you *don't* believe
in, Mulder?"--Post Modern Prometheus
"Several months ago, I learned
that as a result of my abduction--of what they did to me--that I cannot
conceive a child....I just never realized how much I wanted it until I
couldn't have it."--Christmas Carol
"To be honest, I've started
to question my priorities since I was first diagnosed with cancer, and
I feel like I've been given a second chance."--Christmas Carol
"Ever since I was a child,
I never allowed myself to get too close to people. I've avoided emotional
attachments. Perhaps I've been so afraid of death and dying, that any connection
just seemed like a bad thing--something that wouldn't last. But I don't
feel that anymore."--Christmas Carol
"I don't believe in fate.
I think we have to choose our own path."--Christmas Carol
"It begins where it ends--in
nothingness. A nightmare born from deepest fears coming to me unguarded.
Whispering images unlocked from time and distance. A soul unbound, touched
by others but never held, on a course chartered by some unseen hand. The
journey ahead promising no more than my past reflected back upon me until
at last I reach the end--facing a truth I can no longer deny. Alone...as
ever."--Emily
"I can protect her too."--Emily
"I am a medical doctor, and
the decisions that I make are reasonable and right."--Emily
"Do you think that I don't
want what's best for this child? Do you think that I'm not trying to save
her life?"--Emily
"Mulder, whoever brought
this child into this world didn't intend to love her."--Emily
"You were right. This child
was not meant to be."--Emily
"Who are the men who would
create a life whose only hope is to die?"--Emily
"I'm on vacation."--Chinga
"I was hoping for something
a little more helpful."--Chinga
"New England hospitality.
Heard about it all my life....Finally got a chance to experience it for
myself."--Chinga
"I've been thinking that
maybe we need to explore other possibilities....Well, maybe we need to
keep our minds open to extreme possibilities."--Chinga
"That looks like something
out of Jules Verne. We're suppose to eat that?"--Chinga
"Mulder, are there any references
in occult literature to objects that have the power to direct human behavior?...Um...like
a doll, for instance?"--Chinga
"Oh, I don't know. I think
some things are better left unexplained."--Chinga
"And what was your role in
this? Were you the bass player?"--Killswitch
"Your name is Esther Nairn?"--Killswitch
"Oh, right. Death from above."--Killswitch
"Aren't you worried it's
gonna track you down, Esther? Hunt you down with its particle beam?"--Killswitch
"Did anyone think to check
his email?"--Killswitch
"I didn't do the...with the
thing!"--Bad Blood
"Tonight? I just put money
in the Magic Fingers!"--Bad Blood
"Hoo-boy!"--Bad Blood
"If there's a point, Mulder,
please feel free to come to it."--Bad Blood
"Anyway, I was drugged."--Bad
Blood
"It's not that Mexican goat-sucker
either."--Bad Blood
"Yee-haw."--Bad Blood
"What do you mean you want
me to do another autopsy? And why do I have to do it right now? I just
spent hours on my feet doing an autopsy all for you! I do it all for you,
Mulder! You know, I haven't eaten since six o'clock this morning. And all
that was was a half of a cream cheese bagel, and it wasn't even real cream
cheese, it was light cream cheese! And now you want me to run off and do
another autopsy? What the hell happened to you?"--Bad Blood
"Don't you touch that bed!"--Bad
Blood
"Creep."--Bad Blood
"You're saying that I actually
hit him two times? And then he sort of flew at me like a flying squirrel?"--Bad
Blood
"Why would a real vampire
need fake fangs? I mean...for the sake of argument."--Bad Blood
"Mulder, it's not just me.
Nobody in their right mind will ever believe that story."--Bad Blood
"Shouldn't that be my picture
next to that headline?"--Patient X
"You look constipated, actually."--Patient
X
"Well I guess I'm done here.
You seem to have invalidated your own work. Have a nice life."--Patient
X
"Mulder, why are you tiptoeing
around the obvious facts? I mean, this is Skyland Mountain. We're right
back here on Skyland Mountain."--Patient X
"You know Mulder, maybe you
shouldn't be so quick to rule out what Cassandra Spender has to say."--Patient
X
"Mulder, when I met you five
years ago, you told me that your sister had been abducted...by aliens--that
that event had marked you so deeply that nothing else mattered. I didn't
believe you, but I followed you on nothing more than your faith that the
truth was out there--based not on facts, not on science, but on your memories
that your sister had been taken from you. Your memories were all that you
had...."--The Red and the Black
"Whether you trust them or
not, they've led you here--and me, but I have no memories to either trust
nor distrust. And if you ask me now to follow you again, to stand behind
you in what you now believe, without knowing what happened to me out there,
without those memories....I can't...I won't."--The Red and the Black
"How else did she see...batvision?"--Mind's
Eye
"Father, I'm an FBI Agent.
I've taken it as my code and purpose to uphold the law, to save lives."--All
Souls
"Father, I told you I had
a sin to confess, but for the sin of which I'm guilty, I'm not sure you
can offer forgiveness. An innocent girl is dead because of me. I could
have saved her life, but I let her die."--All Souls
"As much as I have my faith,
Father, I am a scientist, trained to weigh evidence. But science only teaches
us how, not why."--All Souls
"I brought Agent Mulder on
the case to help temper my feelings, to keep them from clouding my judgement.
I wouldn't admit it to him, but as we stood there, I felt as if Father
Gregory were speaking directly to me in a language only I could understand."--All
Souls
"I was raised to believe
that God has his reasons, however mysterious."--All Souls
"I told myself that it was
all in my head, an hallucination brought on by my emotional connection
to the case, but that's not what it was, Father. I was meant to see Emily
for a purpose--to save these girls.""--All Souls
"I've seen things, things
that have made me question if there aren't larger forces at work here."--All
Souls
"Maybe that's what faith
is."--All Souls
(Hotel clerk) "Are you the
wife?" (Scully) "Not even close."--Pine Bluff Variant
"Exactly what agency are
you guys from? (pause) Obviously not the Office of Information."--Pine
Bluff Variant
"You knew about this all
along! You knew about this the whole time!"--Pine Bluff Variant
"Folie a Deux--A madness
shared by two."--Folie a Deux
"Analyze the data...with
an eye to the parapsychological."--The End
"Mulder, whatever you may
believe, this time, they may have won."--The End
"I had come here looking
for answers, hoping not only to lay bare this conspiracy against the men
behind it, but to finally learn the truth about the possibility of intelligent
extraterrestrial life. Now, with what I've heard, my beliefs seem more
and more improbable. The possibility of a cure for Scully somewhere inside
these walls my only hope. But if I might find it, and somehow save her,
the very existence of this cure would mean with certainty that I had believed
in a lie from the start." -- Redux
"If I did indeed have the
cure for Scully's cancer I was now as dependent on her as she was on me.
As I had breached this facility, I needed to find my way out to safety,
depending on Scully to weave her story, to tell her tale, to make them
believe the lie." -- Redux
"Keep going, FBI woman."
-- Redux
"This hoax, your cancer --
everything, Scully. It doesn't just lead back to the military. It leads
back to the FBI." -- Redux
"I once heard the best way
to regenerate body heat is to get into a sleeping bag naked with someone
else." -- Detour
"Scully, do you think it's
too soon for me to get my own 1-900 number?" -- Post Modern Prometheus
"I'm alarmed that you would
reduce these people to a stereotype. Not everybody dreams to get on Jerry
Springer." -- Post Modern Prometheus
"The other victims... they
had their frying pans... violated." -- Post Modern Prometheus
"But given the power, what
man could resist the temptation? To create life in his own image."-- Post
Modern Prometheus
"If you load the Kill Switch,
what's going to keep it [the AI] from pulling another college prank." --
Kill Switch
"Oh, yeah. It's amazing what
I can accomplish without incessant questioning and meddling into everything
I do-" -- Chinga
"Sheriff, does your town
have a cemetery? A really old one, off the beaten path? The creepier, the
better?" -- Bad Blood
"It's my feeling -- and I've
discussed this with Agent Scully -- this boy might be a key not just to
human potential, but to all spiritual, unexplained, and paranormal phenomena.
A key to everything in the X-Files." -- The End
"This was all being strategized.
Every move, I just couldn't see it. That it was all part of a plan." --
The End
