Scully: Extraterrestrial visitors from beyond who, apparently, have nothing better to do than buzz one mountain over and over again for 700 years.
Mulder: Sounds like crap when you say it.
Mulder: It’s out there. And I found it.
Scully: What?
Mulder: The truth. This couple.
Mulder: It doesn’t like the light.
Scully: Who?
Mulder: I abducted him. It’s a grey. It speaks to me. We communicate telepathically. He told me everything.
Scully: I can hear him.
Mulder: I know.
Scully: Oh my god.
Mulder: This doesn’t make any sense.
Scully: What?
Mulder: These two. Their story, their skeletons.
Scully: Mulder, if I of all people could believe this than why can’t you?
Byers: Just so you know, we’ve launched our own investigation.
Scully: I was beginning to think that I was the only one was at all suspicious.
Frohike: We’ll find him. We’ll find him and we’ll make him pay.
Scully: Find who?
Frohike: The son of a bitch who killed Mulder.
Scully: What the hell is wrong with everybody? You guys, there are unanswered questions here. Am I the only one that’s asking them? You three of all people. You should be all over this! Not buying the party line.
Mulder: We were in the cave. Then the light came. It was a blinding, blue-white light. And they took me. I was abducted. I found myself in some kind of medical bay. It was white, featureless. It was just as the Schiffs had described it.
Scully: Mulder, the Schiffs are dead.
Mulder: No, actually, they’re not.
Scully: Mulder, their remains were discovered in a field. That’s what brought us to this case in the first place. I found your remains in that same field.
Mulder: Me? I’m here.
Scully: How did you get here?
Mulder: The aliens brought me back here.
Scully: From North Carolina direct to your apartment door? Mulder, you don’t remember getting here, do you? Neither do I.
Mulder: Doesn’t change what happened.
Scully: Mulder, why did you knock? This is your apartment.
Scully: Mulder, this is not reality. This is a hallucination. It has to be. And either I am having it or you are having it or we are having it together.
Mulder: Brought on by what?
Scully: Something that we found in that field, Mulder. Because that’s where it began.
Scully: What if we’re still there? If we’re in that cave in North Carolina. That we’re not here in this apartment right now.
Mulder: Oh. Scully.
Scully: Now Mulder, bear with me. I think this is making sense. I think that Angela and Wallace Schiff were digested by that substance that I found all over that field. That they were dissolved and then expelled up out of the ground.
Skinner: It’s a rare day when the two of you sign off on the same report.
Mulder: Scully, we never escaped. We’re still trapped underground.
Scully: Mulder, we did escape. I think you’re suffering from post-traumatic stress.
Mulder: No I’m not. This is not real. You. You’re not real.
Skinner: Mulder, I—
Mulder: I’ll prove it, Scully. He shoots Skinner
