Margaret Fearon:
If you were a mother, Dr. Scully, you would understand.
Fox Mulder:
Are you asking me to give up?
Dana Scully:
No. No, I can't ask you to do that... But I can tell you I won't be coming home tonight.
Dana Scully:
Listen to me! I need your help!
Agent Mosley Drummy:
I'm sorry. I - I can't help you.
Dana Scully:
Then let me talk to somebody there with some balls who can.
Dana Scully:
Can you hear me?
Fox Mulder:
[drugged] Sorry about your car.
Fox Mulder:
Scully? Why would he say that? "Don't give up." Why would he say such a thing to you?
Dana Scully:
I think that was clearly meant for you, Mulder.
Fox Mulder:
He didn't say it to me. He said it to you. If Father Joe were the devil, why would he say the opposite of what the devil might say? Maybe that's the answer, the larger answer. Don't give up.
Fox Mulder:
Don't give up.
[he pauses as he follows Scully to her car]
Fox Mulder:
Why would he say such a thing to you?
Dana Scully:
I think that was clearly meant for you, Mulder.
Fox Mulder:
He didn't say it to me; he said it to you.
Dana Scully:
Umm...
Fox Mulder:
If Father Joe were the devil, why would he say the opposite of what the devil might say?
[she doesn't reply, though clearly attempting to rationalize]
Fox Mulder:
Maybe that's the answer, in a larger answer.
Dana Scully:
What do you mean?
Fox Mulder:
Don't give up.
Dana Scully:
Please don't make this any harder than it already is.
Fox Mulder:
If you have any doubts,
Fox Mulder:
[wrapping his arms around Scully, allowing her to rest her head on his chest] any doubts at all, call off that surgery and then we'll get out of here... just me and you.
Dana Scully:
As far away from the darkness as we can get?
Fox Mulder:
[he loosens his embrace enough to look into her eyes] I'm not sure it works that way. I think maybe the darkness finds you and me.
Dana Scully:
I know it does.
Fox Mulder:
Let it try.
[they embrace again, this time pulling together in a passionately long kiss]
Fox Mulder:
This is not an exact science. If it were me, I'd be on the guy 24/7. I'd be in bed with him kissing his holy ass.
ASAC Dakota Whitney:
Father Joe is a convicted pedophile.
Fox Mulder:
[surprised] ... Maybe I'd stay out of bed with him.
Dana Scully:
It's been fun.
Fox Mulder:
Scully? Nobody's gonna make you sit next to him.
Dana Scully:
Thanks, but I've already been taken for a ride. Besides, he doesn't want me there.
Fox Mulder:
I want you here.
Dana Scully:
This isn't my life anymore, Mulder. I'm done chasing monsters in the dark.
Fox Mulder:
I can feel you thinking.
Dana Scully:
Sorry. I can't sleep.
Fox Mulder:
Actually, I have a little something for that.
Dana Scully:
Just a little something?
Fox Mulder:
Thank you.
Dana Scully:
Ugh, scratchy beard!
Dana Scully:
What are you doing?
Fox Mulder:
Trying to ignore you.
Assistant Director Walter Skinner:
I know Mulder. He'd get to a phone and call first. He wouldn't do anything crazy.
[Scully stares at him]
Assistant Director Walter Skinner:
Well, not *overly* crazy.
Agent Mosley Drummy:
I don't believe this.
Fox Mulder:
You know, that's been your problem from the very beginning.
Fox Mulder:
What's up, Doc?
[last lines]
Assisting Nurse:
Are you ready to begin? ... Uh, Dr. Scully?
Dana Scully:
... Yes.
Dana Scully:
What is it that you were praying for in there, sir?
Father Joe:
For the salvation of my immortal soul.
Dana Scully:
And you think God hears your prayers?
Father Joe:
You think he hears yours?
Dana Scully:
I didn't bugger 37 altar boys.
Fox Mulder:
Hmmm, that's a pleasant way of putting it.
Dana Scully:
I have another word I could use, if you'd like.
Fox Mulder:
I'm sure you do.
Fox Mulder:
I'm as happy as a clam.
Father Joe:
Do you know why we live here, in this box? Because we hate each other and ourselves.
Father Joe:
And where do they come from, then, these unnatural appetites?
Dana Scully:
Not from God!
Father Joe:
Oh, then from me? I castrated myself when I was twenty-two.
