• Agent Morris : Agent Mulder's residence is under surveillance. Please explain why you're here.

  Dana Scully : I was told by the assistant director that Mulder was gone.

  Agent Morris : So?

  Dana Scully : So, whenever he's away, I feed his fish.

• Student : [while teaching a class in autopsies to FBI cadets, Scully takes a long pause and stares at the cadaver]  Something wrong?

  Dana Scully : [looking at the mark showing where the skull will be cut open]  What this man imagined... his dreams... who he loved, saw, heard, remembered... what he feared... somehow it's, all locked in this small mass of tissue and fluid.

  Student : Are you okay, Agent Scully? You kinda sounded a... a little spooky.

  [Scully looks at the student with surprise] 

• Fox Mulder : From 1948 until recently, it

  [Palomar Observatory] 

  Fox Mulder : was the largest telescope in the world. The idea and design came from a brilliant and wealthy astronomer named George Ellery Hale. Actually, the idea was presented to Hale one night. While he was playing billiards, an elf climbed in his window and told him to get money from the Rockefeller Foundation for a telescope.

  Dana Scully : And you're worried that all your life, you've been seeing elves?

  Fox Mulder : In my case... little green men.

  Dana Scully : But, Mulder... during your time with the X-Files, you've seen so much.

  Fox Mulder : That's just the point. Seeing is not enough, I should have something to hold onto. Some solid evidence. I learned that from you.

  Dana Scully : Your sister's abduction, you've held onto that.

  Fox Mulder : I'm beginning to wonder if... if that ever even happened.

  Dana Scully : Mulder, even if George Hale only saw elves in his mind, the telescope still got built. Don't give up.

• Dr. Troisky : Looks like the "wow" signal.

  Dana Scully : The "wow" signal?

  Dr. Troisky : Ohio State has a radio telescope that conducts electronic searches for extraterrestrial intelligence. In August 1977, my buddy, Jerry Ehman, found a transmission on the print-out like this. He was so excited, he wrote "wow" in the margins.

  Dana Scully : What was there?

  Dr. Troisky : A signal thirty times stronger than galactic background noise. It came through on the twenty-one centimeter frequency which no satellite transmitters are allowed to use. The signal was intermittent... like morse code. And more importantly, the signal seemed to turn itself on while in the telescope's beam. The "Wow" signal is the best evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. But this... this is better.
