Quotes 

• Scully : The syringes contained Roperidol. That's the same anti-psychotic medication that she was giving to Dr Richmond.

  John Doggett : He's not the one calling the shots.

  Scully : You still think that it was Kobold?

  John Doggett : This is not about demons, it's not about demonic possession, it's about men.

  Scully : Agent Doggett, have you considered that something else might be going on here?

  John Doggett : I heard you say it, Agent Scully, I heard you tell a classroom full of FBI cadets - most evil in the world comes from men.

  Scully : Yeah, but I also said that when science fails, we have to consider extreme possibilities. I know what you're feeling. I know your frustration. But you can't let it cloud your objectivity.

  John Doggett : Agent Reyes is thinking just what this guy, Kobold, wants her to think, and now you are too.

• Scully : Dr Dana Scully. I have just been assigned to the Academy as a forensic investigator. For the past eight years I was part of a unit known as the X-Files. Some of you may have heard of it.

  FBI Cadet : You ever slay a vampire?

  Scully : Sorry to disappoint you, but this is a course in forensic pathology. Hard science. An X-File is a case that has been deemed unsolvable by the Bureau, because such a case cannot be solved it may beg other explanations... a vampire, perhaps. Science, however, tells us that evil comes not from monsters, but from men. It offers us the methodology to catch these men, and only after we have exhausted these methods should we leave science behind to consider more... extreme possibilities.

• Monica Reyes : Agent Scully, have you ever sensed what I'm talking about?

  Scully : I've felt things that I couldn't understand. Things that I was afraid to admit even to myself.

  Monica Reyes : And what did you do?

  Scully : I learned not to ignore it. To trust my instincts.

• Scully : [Standing in front of her class]  An X-Files is a case that has been deemed unsolvable by the bureau. Because such a case cannot be solved, it may beg other explanations... A vampire perhaps

  [Looking with a small smile at a student who had asked about Vampires] 

  Scully : . Science however tells us that evil comes not from monsters, but from men. It will offer us the methodology to catch these men. And only after we have exhausted these methods should we leave science behind to consider more... extreme possibilities.
