The X-Files, season 1

Third Man: Are you familiar with an agent named Fox Mulder? Scully: Yes, I am. Third Man: How so? Scully: By reputation. He's an Oxford educated psychologist, who wrote a monograph on serial killers and the occult, that helped to catch Monty Props in 1988. Generally thought of as the best analyst in the violent crimes section. He had a nickname at the academy... Spooky Mulder.

Section Chief Blevins: Are you familiar with the so-called X-Files? Scully: I believe they have to do with unexplained phenomena. Section Chief Blevins: More or less. The reason you're here, Agent Scully, is we want you to assist Mulder on these X-Files. You'll write field reports on your activities along with your observations on the validity of the work. Scully: Am I to understand that you want me to debunk the X-Files Project, sir? Section Chief Blevins: Agent Scully, we trust you'll make the proper scientific analysis.

Mulder: (without looking who enters) Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted. Scully: (Scully comes in and looks around the room, Mulder turns and sees her) Agent Mulder. I'm Dana Scully. I've been assigned to work with you. Mulder: (shaking her hand) Oh, isn't it nice to be suddenly so highly regarded. So who did you tick off to get stuck with this detail, Scully? Scully: Actually, I'm looking forward to working with you. I've heard a lot about you. Mulder: Oh, really... I was under the impression that you were sent to spy on me.

Mulder: Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrials? Scully: Logically I would have to say no. Given the distances needed to travel from the of reaches of space the energy requirements would exceed a spacecraft's capabilities ... Mulder: Conventional wisdom...

Scully: So? Mulder: So you and I are going to the Spud State to investigate a little kidnapping. Scully: I don't get it, Mulder. Does this have something to do with an X-File? I thought you only liked those... uh... paranormal-type cases. Am I missing something here? Mulder: Let's just say this case has a... distinct smell to it. A certain... paranormal bouquet.
