Quotes 

• John Doggett : [reacting to the cut on his chin]  Aw, geez, Martin. Your face.

  Martin Wells : It's all right. Appreciate your coming to see me. Agent Scully, I especially wanted to talk to you.

  Dana Scully : It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry it's not under better circumstances.

  Martin Wells : This is the day we meet... Something is happening to me. Something I need to try to explain to you, to you both. I'm moving backwards in time. Every morning I wake up, it's the day before. For me, yesterday was Thursday, the day before that was Friday, only it's all new to me. Every single morning I wake up, I can only remember what's happened the following day.

  John Doggett : Agent Scully... would you mind taking a closer look at his injuries, maybe check his scalp?

  Martin Wells : I know this all sounds crazy. But I'm telling you the truth. This cut, for instance. It was on my cheek when I woke up yesterday. I woke up this morning, it wasn't there. But then this afternoon I got cut. I killed a spider in my cell yesterday. First thing this morning, I woke up, it's back again. Because it happened the day before. I haven't actually killed it yet.

  Dana Scully : Mr. Wells, are you saying that you don't remember the day that your wife was murdered? I'm talking about two days ago, Monday.

  Martin Wells : No, I don't... remember it. Because for me, it hasn't happened yet.

  Dana Scully : You do realize that you're not going to be able to prove this, right? I mean, if, uh... if tomorrow is really the day before today, then we won't have had this conversation.

  John Doggett : Oh, for crying out loud.

  Dana Scully : It means you're going to have to tell us all over again.

  John Doggett : Yeah well, uh... make sure I skip that freakin' meeting.

• John Doggett : The press got word you're taking him out. It looks like Woodstock out there.
