- Fox Mulder: What? I wasn't gonna shoot the kid. I don't do stairs anymore.
- Dana Scully: Mulder, back in the day, I used to do stairs and in three-inch heels.
- Fox Mulder: Back in the day. Scully, back in the day is now.
- Dana Scully: Back in the day, did we ever come across the ability to just wish someone back to life?
- Fox Mulder: I invented it. When you were in the hospital, like this.
- Dana Scully: You're a dark wizard, Mulder.
- Trashman: The people on the streets, the homeless, the street people, they ain't got no voice, right? They get treated like trash. I mean actual trash. It's like this: you throw your grande cup, or your pop bottle in the right trash can under the sink, recycle's here, trash there, you tie the little bag, you take it outside, put it in the right dumpsters. Pat yourself on the head. You're a good person, yeah? You did the right thing, you fought global warming, you love all the little animals. Well Friday come, Wednesday maybe, garbage man takes the trash away it's not your problem anymore. Magic! But it is your problem, because it piles up in the landfill and the plastics leak toxins into the water and the sky, but if you don't see a problem, there's no problem. Right? People treat people like trash.
- Detective Gross: How you doing? I'm Aaron Dross. I called the Bureau. They said that you two have experience with these, um... spooky cases.
- [Mulder pouts]
- Detective Gross: Well, I don't want to be confrontational here, but, uh...
- Fox Mulder: It wouldn't be Philadelphia without a certain degree of confrontation, right?
- Dana Scully: I don't care about the big questions right now, Mulder. I just want one more chance to ask my mum a few little ones.
