Quotes 

• Sheila Fontaine : Not even a kiss? Trust me, the man knows how to kiss. I just never thought of Holman that way, you know. He's my closest friend. And to not even suspect...

  Scully : Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with. The storm drains are filling up. Let's get out of here.

• Mulder : He wants advice; dating advice.

  Scully : Dating advice? From whom?

  Mulder : Yours truly.

  Scully : [long silence from Scully] 

  Mulder : Hello? Hey, Scully? Scully, you there?

  Scully : I heard you. Mulder, when was the last time you went on a date?

  Mulder : I will talk to you later.

  Mulder : [Mulder hangs up] 

  Scully : The blind leading the blind.

• Scully : It seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

• Hotel Manager : Oh, miss, we moved your boyfriend's things into your room.

  Scully : He's my partner, and we prefer separate rooms.

  Hotel Manager : Oh, old-fashioned are you, huh? Well, we're booked solid with the high school reunion. You can take it or leave it.

• Scully : So now you're saying that...

  Mulder : Holdman Hardt is manufacturing the weather. Did you see how relieved he was when he learned that Daryl was drunk? I've been doing some checking. Holdman Hardt has been hospitalized 5 times with nervous exhaustion, each time coinciding with a major meteorological event.

  Scully : Mulder, it is still a huge leap to say that he's manufacturing the weather.

  Mulder : Most people will admit that the weather plays a significant role in the way they feel, right? There's even that disorder...

  Scully : SAD. Seasonal Affective Disorder.

  Mulder : Well, who's to say that it doesn't work the other way around, that the way someone feels can affect the weather, that the weather is somehow an expression of Holman Hardt's feelings. Or, or better still, the feelings that he's not expressing?
