"Fight the Future: Memorable Quotes"



BRONSCHWEIG: “Sir, the impossible scenario that we never planned for? Well, we better come up with a plan…”

MULDER: “Whatever happened to playing a hunch, Scully? The element of surprise, random acts of unpredictability? If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized, or easily referenced.”

SCULLY: “I saw your face, Mulder. There was a definite moment of panic.”
MULDER: “You’ve never seen me panic. When I panic, I make this face.”
SCULLY: “That was the face.”
MULDER: “You didn’t see that face.”
SCULLY: “I saw that face!”

MULDER: “Scully, you know that face I just showed you? I’m making it again…”

BARTENDER: “So whaddya do?”
MULDER: “What do I do?”
BARTENDER: “Mmm hmm.”
MULDER: “I’m the key figure in an ongoing government charade, the plot to conceal the truth about the existence of extraterrestrials. It’s a global conspiracy, actually, with the key players in the highest levels of power, that reached down into the lives of every man, woman, and child on this planet. So, of course, no one believes me. I’m an annoyance to my superiors, a joke to my peers. They call me Spooky…Spooky Mulder, whose sister was abducted by aliens when he was just a kid and who now chases after little green men with a badge and a gun, shouting to the heavens or to anyone who will listen that the fix is in, that the sky is falling, and when it hits, it’s gonna be the shit-storm of all time.”
BARTENDER: “Well. I would say that about does it, Spooky.”

SCULLY: “Are you drunk, Mulder?”
MULDER: “I…I was until about 20 minutes ago, yeah.”
SCULLY: “Was that before or after you decided to come here?”
MULDER: “What exactly are you implying?”

SCULLY: “You’re saying this is a coverup? Of what?”
MULDER: “I don’t know, but I have a hunch that what you’re gonna find won’t be categorized or easily referenced.”

MULDER: “A plague?”
KURTZWEIL: “The plague to end all plagues, Agent Mulder. A silent weapon for a quiet war. The systematic release of an indiscriminant organism for which the men who will bring it on still have no cure!”

BRONSCHWEIG: “So much for little green men…”

FIRST ELDER: “The virus has mutated.”

WELL-MANICURED MAN: “Kill Mulder, we take the risk of turning one man’s quest into a crusade.”
STRUGHOLD: “Then you must take away what he holds most valuable…that with which he cannot live without.”

KID: “You’re not FBI agents.”
MULDER: “How do you know?”
KID: “’Cause y’all look like door-to-door salesmen…”

MULDER: “Five years together, Scully. How many times have I been wrong? Never. Not driving, anyway…”

SCULLY: “What do you mean? Mulder? What are you not telling me? Mulder?”
MULDER: “The virus may be extraterrestrial.”
SCULLY: “I don’t…Mulder, I don’t-“ (salty language bleeped out by onrushing train)

MULDER: “You told me you had answers!”
KURTZWEIL: “Yeah, well…I don’t have ‘em all…”

MULDER: “We’re on the verge!”
SCULLY: “You’re on the verge, Mulder…”

MULDER: “You saved me! As difficult and as frustrating as it’s been sometimes, you God-damned strict rationalism and science have saved me a thousand times over! You’ve kept me honest…you’ve made me a whole person. I owe you everything, Scully, and you owe me nothing. I don’t know if I wanna do this alone. I don’t even know if I can…and if I quit now, they win.”

MULDER: “What happened to Kurtzweil?”
WELL-MANICURED MAN: “He’s come and gone.”

WELL-MANICURED MAN: “Until Dallas, we believed the virus would simply control us, that mass infection would make us a slave race. Imagine our surprise when they began to gestate.”

WELL-MANICURED MAN: “Trust no one, Mr. Mulder!”

WELL-MANICURED MAN: “Find Agent Scully. Only then will you realize the scope and grandeur of the Project. Go…go now!”

MULDER: “Scully, ya gotta see this! Scully!”
SCULLY: “I see it…I see it…”

SCULLY: “What is it you find incredible?”
CASSIDY: “Well, where would you like me to start?”

CANCER MAN: “This involves Mulder.”
STRUGHOLD: “Ah… that name, again and again…”

CANCER MAN: “He’s determined now…reinvested.”
STRUGHOLD: “He is but one man. One man alone cannot fight the future.”
