Favorite line ever from The X-Files?
Robert Patrick just said mine:
Doggett: "What are you saying? Ray Pearce has become some kind of metal man? Because that only happens in the movies, Agent Scully."
Scully: "Does it, Agent Doggett?"

I thought it was a cute little wink by the writers to Patrick's most famous role.

You?

1. So many, mostly from 'Bad Blood'.
I can't transcribe it, but Scully's perception of Mulder giving his usual beginning of the episode rundown of the case was hilarious.

6. "But though he may be a moron, he's... one of our own."
Word on the street from the red states.

3. I have recently become re-addicted to this show.
My lust for Mulder continues anyway...

10. OT note: I always thought Skinner was incredibly hot
Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 08:27 AM by Patiod
Just a word to balding men out there -- an awesome physique trumps a full head of hair any day.

/yes, I am shallow as a matter of fact

13. Oh, Skinner was delicious.
I loved the way he looked at Scully on occasion.

16. "This is where you pucker up and kiss my ass"
I could have torn Skinner's clothes off and made it right then and there. That line made me so hot!!

25. He said it to Cigarette Smoking Man
It was the episode where Moulder ends up trapped in that boxcar, buried underground. I can't remember the name of the episode, though.

IIRC, it was that precise moment that Skinner is finally determined to be a "good guy".

It made me so hot!

:loveya:

I'd had a "thing" for him ever since the episode I saw him in his tighty-whities.

5. From the episode "Home"
(my favorite very disturbing episode as well)

Sheriff Taylor: "Agents Mulder and Scully... Hi, I'm Sheriff Andy Taylor."
Mulder: "For real?"

then later on...
Sheriff Taylor: "By the way, this is my deputy, Barney."
Mulder: "Fife?"
Deputy Paster: "Paster."

and again...
Mulder: "There's something rotten in Mayberry."

later still, while trying to move pigs from their pen:
Mulder: "Scully, would you think me less of me as a man if I told you I was a kind of excited right now? There some secret farmer trick to get these things moving?"
Scully: "I don't know. Baa-ram-ewe. Baa-ram-ewe."
Mulder: "Yeah, that'll work."
Scully: "I babysat my nephew this weekend. He watches 'Babe' fifteen times a day."
Mulder: "And people call me Spooky."

That episode was full of great lines.

8. In one episode (I can't find it yet)...
Mulder references the 2000 election...
"where I come from the one with the most votes wins" (paraphrased)

26. Per the Australians, it goes like this:
"Well, just remember, boys, this is America. Just because you get more votes doesn't mean you win." (which references the 2000 election even more perfectly)

14. that would be "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose"
Clyde Bruckman: Not that it's any of my business, but autoerotic asphyxiation is a really undignified way to die.
Mulder: What makes you say that?
Clyde Bruckman: Never mind. Forget I said anything.

15. From "The Unnatural"...
the ep about the baseball playing alien:

"I scream, you scream, we all scream for non-fat tofutti dreamsicles".

Hell, the whole scene with Mulder and Scully in the file room with the aforementioned dreamsicle was a hoot.

17. I love me some x-files
This is my first post here. You guys got me good--no way I can resist an X-Files quote-athon ;-)

In the episode where the Lone Gunmen trick Scully into coming out to Vegas to help them, and she's given some stuff that makes her act adorably drunk...
"Why would the government want to turn Scully into a bimbo?"
- Frohike

can't remember which episode this one's from but (hehehee)
Mulder to Scully on why he always drives-
"I didn't think your little feet could reach the pedals"

and from Arcadia, when Mulder puts the pink flamingo in their yard
"Bring it on."

21. i got another one!
thanks for the welcome!!!

I love this right here, it's the voiceover at the beginning of Dreamland 2 where Morris Fletcher has taken over Mulder's body

Once upon a time, there was a guy with the improbable name of Fox Mulder. He started out life happily enough, as these things go. He had parents who loved him, a cute kid sister. He had a roof over his head, got all his flu shots, had all his fingers and toes and aside from being stuck with the name ‘Fox’ which probably taught him how to fight- or not- he pretty much led a normal life. But the worst thing by far- the biggest kick in the slacks this kid Fox ever got- was what happened to his sister. One day, she just disappeared.

Now, Fox buckled down and worked his butt off. Graduated top of his class at Oxford then top of his class at the FBI academy. None of that hard work made up for his sister, though. It was just a way of putting her out of his mind. Finally, the way I figure it, he went out of his mind and he's been that way ever since. Fox Mulder pissed away a brilliant career, lost the respect of supervisors and friends and now lives his life shaking his fist at the sky and muttering about conspiracies to anyone who will listen. If you ask me, he's one step away from pushing a baby carriage filled with tin cans down the street. But now, all that's going to change.

23. Yeah... It's during that same episode where...
Mulder: "A little mood lighting for the bedroom." "No bedroom."

Mulder: "This guy hasn't been laid in ten years."

ANOTHER of my favorite lines!

What made that line so priceless was the pelvic thrust that accompanied it.

18. "I didn't spend all those years playing Dungeons & Dragons...
...without learning a thing or two about courage."

I don't remember much about the character or the episode, but that line is utterly priceless.
