Scully: This is Agent Mulder.
Kelly Ryan (Kate Twa): Hi. Thank you for coming. Heard a lot about you.
Mulder to Scully: We’ll talk later.
Mulder: Is this your first case, Agent?
Ryan: Yes sir.
Mulder: Any idea why they gave it to you?
Ryan: No one else wanted it. Because of the lack of evidence, this is still a missing persons. Not likely to end up on the front page of the daily paper.
Mulder: I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
Ryan: Can I ask what you think might have happened?
Mulder: First blush: spontaneous human combustion.
Mulder: I have over a dozen case files of human bodies reduced to ash without any attendant burning or melting. Rapid oxidation without heat.
Scully: Let’s just forget for the moment that there’s no scientific theory to support it.
Mulder: Okay.
Scully: Darkness covers a multitude of sins.
Mulder: Check this out. My newest tool in the fight against crime. $49.95 at your local hardware store.
Scully: Neat trick. For your birthday I’ll buy you a utility belt.

Probably the same reason he spends his afternoons hanging out in a train station
