unidentified retrovirus whose origin remains a mystery. The search team that found Agent Mulder has located neither the missing submarine nor the man he was looking for. Several aspects of this case remain unexplained, suggesting the possibility of paranormal phenomena ... but I am convinced that to accept such conclusions is to abandon all hope of understanding the scientific events behind them. Many of the things I have seen have challenged my faith and my belief in an ordered universe but this uncertainty has only strengthened my need to know, to understand, to apply reason to those things which seem to defy it. It was science that isolated the retrovirus Agent Mulder was exposed to, and science that allowed us to understand its behavior, and ultimately, it was science that saved Agent Mulder's life."
***Fearful Symmetry***
Mulder: You and I are going to the potato state to investigate a little kidnapping
Mulder: "It's all happening at the zoo, Scully."
Janitor: "They don't pay you to dance, Roberto... God is watching..."
Mulder: "Well if somebody would have seen it, Scully, we wouldn't be here."
Mulder: "I'd be willing to admit the possibility of a tornado, but it's not really tornado season. I'd even be willing to entertain the notion of a black hole passing over the area or some cosmic anomaly but it's not really black hole season either..."
Mulder: "If I was a betting man I'd say it was, uh..."
Scully: "An invisible elephant?"
Mulder: "I saw David Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear once."
Scully: "What are you looking for, Mulder?
Mulder: "Uh, local paper... I want to see if David Copperfield is in town."
Willa: "Elephants aren't particularly good jumpers, if that's what you're thinking..."
Mulder: "How's your relationship with Ed Meacham?
Willa: "I'm his boss and I'm a woman, and Ed doesn't like that much."
Scully: "And you consider that inhumane treatment?"
Kyle: "It's like you were out living in a pickle barrel."
Kyle: "...All animals should run free."
Scully: "Even if that means trampling a man to death?"
Kyle: "Maybe he should have gotten out of the way."
Mulder: "I'm sure he would have if he had seen it coming."
Scully: "And where are you going?"
Mulder: "Talk to the animals [The Lone Gunmen]."
Frohike: "Beam me up Scotty!"
Mulder: "Did anybody ever tell you the camera loves you, Frohike?"
Frohike: "Yeah, the arresting officers at the Free James Brown rally..."
Byers: "What's this costing the taxpayers, Mulder?"
Mulder: "Uh, about 150 bucks an hour."
Frohike: "Ouch! Almost as much as Bill Clinton's haircuts!"
