Quotes
-
Scully : My role in the X-files have always been to provide a rational, scientific perspective to cases that would seem to defy explanation, a counterpoint to Agent Mulder.
Walter Skinner : And you have done that. You have performed admirably.
Scully : Have I? How many X-files have my scientific approach fully and satisfactorily explained?
Walter Skinner : Your reports have consistently made sense of his conclusions.
-
Mulder : Scully, how could we simply will ourselves out of a chemical hallucination?
Scully : Well, the fact remains we did.
Mulder : Did we? Can you name me one drug that loses its effect once the user realizes it's in his system?
Walter Skinner : I assume the effects wore off to the point that you were both able to make your escape.
Mulder : Scully, how long were we underground? Hours? Half a day? How come our bodies don't show any effects of being burned by the digestive fluids? We were covered in hydrochloric acid. Yet look at our skin. Nothing.
Walter Skinner : Agent Mulder, where are you going with this?
Mulder : Scully... we never escaped. We're still trapped underground!

Scully : The lab results determined that the spores we were exposed to have a chemical structure similar to LSD. They also contain an alkaloid which induces a state of narcosis.
Walter Skinner : It's a rare day when the two of you sign off on the same report. Agent Mulder?
Mulder : I was just thinking. I'm... I'm not exactly clear on how we escaped.
