Mulder and Scully are called back to duty by the FBI when a former priest claims to be receiving psychic visions pertaining to a kidnapped agent.
Fox Mulder: What's up, Doc?
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.
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.
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.
Dana Scully: Ugh, scratchy beard!
Dana Scully: Can you hear me? Fox Mulder: [drugged] Sorry about your car.
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.
Dana Scully: This stubbornness of yours, it's why I fell in love with you. Fox Mulder: It's like you said. That's why we can't be together...
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]
Agent Mosley Drummy: I don't believe this. Fox Mulder: You know, that's been your problem from the very beginning.
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: What are you doing? Fox Mulder: Trying to ignore you.
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-six.
Fox Mulder: I'm as happy as a clam.
[last lines] Assisting Nurse: Are you ready to begin?... Uh, Dr. Scully? Dana Scully: ...Yes.
Father Joe: Do you know why we live here, in this box? Because we hate each other and ourselves.
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: 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.
Margaret Fearon: If you were a mother, Dr. Scully, you would understand.
