cables, cranberries..."
Scully: "Human flesh?"
Dr Blockhead: "Only The Conundrum can answer that question. But, he doesn't answer questions, he merely poses them. When an audience partakes in The Conundrum's human piranha act, they are left to ask themselves... why? But, where are my manners?" (Offers Scully a cricket-filled jar)
Scully: (Takes one) "Thank you." (Eats cricket, smiles at Mulder then walks away. Mulder looks shocked, refuses the crickets)

(Description: Scully pulls cricket she "ate" from behind Mulder's ear)
Scully: "It's an old sleight of hand my uncle taught me. He was only an amateur magician but he was still better than those two."
Mulder: "Well I'm going over to the lab to see if they can test the blood on the window against the blood on Dr. Blockhead's nail. (Produces nail from mid-air). Everybody's uncle's an amateur magician."

Curator: "At the autopsy it was officially concluded that Chang died of a cerebral haemorrhage."
Scully: "And what was the official cause of Eng's death?"
Curator: "Fright."

Mr Nut: "I know what you're thinking my friend, but you're grossly mistaken... Just because I'm not of so-called average height does not mean I must receive my thrills vicariously. Not all women are attracted to overly tall, lanky men such as yourself. You'd be surprised how many women find my size intriguingly alluring."
Mulder: "You'd be surprised how many men do as well."

(Description: M&S are digging up object buried by sheriff)
Mulder: (pauses from his digging) "Scully, hypertrichosis does not connote lycanthrophy."
Scully: "What are you implying?"
Mulder: "We're being highly discriminatory here. Just because a man was once afflicted with excessive hairyness, we've no reason to suspect him of aberrant behaviour."
Scully: "It's like assuming guilt based solely on skin colour, isn't it?"
(M&S look embarrassed, but keep digging)

Sheriff: "May I ask what you're doing?"
Mulder: "We're exhuming... your potato."
Sheriff: "May I ask why?"
Scully: "Sheriff, it's... it's... it's been documented that many serial killers... [...]"
Mulder: "We found out that you used to be a dog-faced boy."
(gives pamphlet to Sheriff)
Sheriff: "Boy, look how skinny I was back then."

Scully: "That doesn't quite explain the potato."
Sheriff: "I got... ah, some warts on my hand."
Mulder: "That doesn't quite explain the potato."
Sheriff: "To get rid of warts, you... rub a sliced potato on your hand and bury it under a full moon. Investigation isn't going too well, is it?"
(Mulder tosses potato back into hole)

Sheriff: "...I spent the first half of my life as Jim Jim. Then one morning I noticed a bald spot on top of my head and realised I wasn't only losing my hair but my career as well. Eventually all the hair went, on top my head anyways. The rest of my body's still pretty hairy, which is... why I never go to the beach."

Mr Nut: "So tell me, Commodore? Why are the weirdo's the only ones that pay their rent checks in advance?"
